본 연구는 농촌지역 남녀 중학생들의 스마트폰 중독 수준을 파악하고, 자기존중감, 불안 및 통제신념과 같은 사회심리적 요인이 스마트폰 중독과 어느 정도 관련성이 있는지 알아보고자 실시하였다. 조사대상은 충청북도의 농촌지역 4개 군에 소재하고 있는 8개 중학교에 재학하고 있는 남녀 중학생 630명으로 하였다. 자료 수집은 2014년 5월 1일부터 5월 31일까지의 기간 동안에 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문지를 이용한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상 농촌지역 중학생들의 스마트폰 중독수준의 분포를 보면 "중독위험군" 이 24.1%를 차지하였다. 또한 이들의 스마트폰 중독수준은 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련행위 특성, 스마트폰사용 특성뿐만 아니라 자기존중감, 불안, 내적통제신념 및 외적통제신념과 같은 사회심리적 요인과도 유의한 관련성이 있었다. 따라서 중학생들의 자기존중감을 높이고, 불안을 감소시키며, 내적통제신념을 향상시키기 위한 프로그램을 개발하고 학교에 보급하기 위한 노력이 필요하다고 본다.
