This study explored the determinants of smartphone addiction among mothers of infants, focusing on their socio-demographic characteristics, parental stress, and parental knowledge. A total 220 mothers of infants were surveyed and the collected data were analyzed by binary logistic regression. A considerable percentage (16%) of mothers of infants were observed to be at a risk of smartphone addiction, which was significantly higher than the percentage (8%) of adult population at risk of smartphone addiction reported by the Korean government. Parental stress from dysfunctional parent-child relationships was a risk factor and parental knowledge about infant development was observed to be a protective factor when it came to the smartphone addiction of mothers' with infants. However, socio-demographic characteristics (number of children, age, education, family income, and job) did not have statistically significant associations with their smartphone addiction.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effects of smartphone addiction tendency on the relationship between depression of mothers with 3 to 5 year-old children and rejecting-neglecting parenting style. Methods: Three hundred and twenty-eight mothers answered questionnaires on three research variables. To analyze the data, Pearson correlation analyses and regression analyses were conducted. Results: First, mothers' depression, smartphone addiction tendency and rejecting-neglecting parenting style showed positive correlations, respectively. Specifically, mothers with a high level of depression were more addicted to smartphones and exhibited more rejecting-neglecting style of parenting. Also, mothers who were more obsessed with smartphones showed more rejecting-neglecting parenting style. Second, this study found partial mediating effects of smartphone addiction tendency on the relationship between depression and rejecting-neglecting parenting style. Conclusion/Implications: This study confirmed that mothers' depression and smartphone overuse had an influence on their negative parenting behaviors. The results of this study address the need of various interventions for mothers to decrease their depression and smartphone overuse.

Objectives: This descriptive study was aimed to investigate the related factors of smartphone addiction among preschool children. Methods: The subject of study was 186 smartphone using mothers with children between 3 to 6 years old in Busan. Data were collected with self-administered questionnaires from July to November, 2013 at nurseries, preschools, and cultural center. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t test, ANOVA, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: 79.6% of children have ever used smartphone and mean smartphone addiction of them were 26.77 based on 60 points. The related factors of smartphone addiction among children were the children's smartphone usage time per day (less than 0.5 hours vs 0.5-0.9 hours (p=0.004), less than 0.5 hours vs more than 1.0 hours (p<0.001), mother's smartphone addiction (p<0.001), and perceived mother's permission level compared to other children's mothers (p=0.004), which 3 factors explained 39% of variance of smartphone addiction of children.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships among preschoolers' smartphone addiction tendency, problem behaviors, and parenting efficacy of the mothers of these children. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study design was used with self-administered questionnaires. A total of 83 mothers of preschoolers aged 4-6 years and their preschool teachers from a kindergarten participated in the study. Results: Mean daily time spent by the preschoolers on smartphones was about 45 minutes/day. About 40% spent more than 60 minutes/day on smartphones. The majority (69.8%) used smartphones without adult supervision. The level of smartphone addiction tendency among the preschoolers was $1.52{\pm}0.45$ on a 4-point scale. Preschoolers whose mothers use smartphones for more than 60 minutes/day showed a higher level of smartphone addiction tendency than preschoolers whose mothers use smartphones for less than 60 minutes/day. Also smartphone addiction tendency among preschoolers had a positive correlation with hyperactive-distractible behavior (r=.228, p=.038) and a negative correlation with parenting efficacy of their mothers (r=-.299, p=.006). Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that preschooler's smartphone addiction tendency is significantly associated with hyperactive-distractible behaviors of the children and low parenting efficacy among their mothers. Therefore well-designed care plans for these populations should be provided to decrease smartphone addiction tendency.

본 연구는 어머니의 스마트폰 중독이 양육효능감과 양육태도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 경기도 S시에 거주하는 미취한 자녀를 둔 어머니 203명을 연구대상으로 선정하였다. 연구도구는 스마트폰 중독척도(한국정보문화진흥원, 2011), 양육효능감척도(최형성 정옥분, 2001), 양육태도척도(배문주, 2005)를 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 피어슨 상관분석, T검정, 위계적 회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 어머니의 연령이 낮을수록 스마트폰 중독이 높게 나타났다. 스마트폰 중독의 하위영역이 양육효능감에 미치는 영향의 결과는 일상생활장애가 전반적인 양육효능감, 건강하게 양육하는 능력, 의사소통능력, 학습지도능력에 부적으로 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 스마트폰 중독의 하위영역이 양육태도에 미치는 영향의 결과를 살펴보면 일상생활장애는 거부적 태도에 정적으로 유의한 영향을 미쳤으며, 가상세계지향성은 애정적 태도와 자율적 태도에 부적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 부모의 올바른 스마트폰 사용을 강조하며 긍정적인 양육효능감과 양육태도를 향상시킬 수 있는 프로그램 개발 및 활성화에 유용한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

This study was conducted for the purpose of empirically analyzing the effects of adolescents' relationships with major adults as protective factors for smartphone addiction. Specifically, the study compared the discriminatory effects of adolescents' relationships with their parents, school teachers, and educational institute teachers on smartphone addiction among elementary, middle, and high school students in Korea. Analyzing the data of the 2019 Korean Children & Youth Happiness Index (N=7,454), it was found that relationships with adults were significant factors in explaining the level of smartphone addiction even after controlling for the influences of adolescents' demographics, usage time, and friendship factors. For elementary school students, good relationships with their mothers and school teachers decreased the risk of smartphone addiction. On the other hand, in the case of middle school students, only a good relationship with father functioned as a protective factor. Good relationships with their fathers and institute teachers decreased the level of high school students' smartphone addiction. Based on these findings, this study discussed on the development of programs and policies for prevention and intervention of adolescents' smartphone addiction and provided suggestions for follow-up research in the future.

본 연구는 어머니의 스마트폰 중독경향성 및 유아의 사회적 능력과의 관계에서 어머니의 원가족 경험의 매개효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 제주지역에 소재한 유치원, 어린이집에 유아를 보내는 어머니 481명을 대상으로 설문조사를 수행한 뒤 응답결과를 분석하였다. 수집된 자료처리 분석을 위하여 SPSS Statistic 18.0의 프로그램을 활용하여 구조방정식을 실시하였다. 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 상관분석 결과 어머니의 원가족 경험은 어머니의 스마트폰 중독경향성과 부적상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 어머니의 원가족 경험과 유아의 사회적 능력과의 하위요인 유능성과 지도력, 애정표현과는 정적상관을 불안정성과 방해성은 부적상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 어머니의 스마트폰 중독경향성과 유아의 사회적 능력과의 관계에서 어머니의 원가족 경험의 매개효과가 어떠한지를 알아보기 위해 연구모형과 경쟁모형을 설정하고 이를 검증한 결과 경쟁모형이 더 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 어머니의 스마트폰 중독경향성과 유아의 사회적 능력과의 관계에서 어머니의 원가족 경험은 부분 매개하는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 본 연구가 지니는 시사점과 후속연구를 위해 제언을 논의하였다.
