Abstract

This study is a descriptive study to investigate the influence factors on smartphone overdependenceon in male middle school students. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 174 male middle school students about their smartphone overdependence, stress, ego - resilience, and use of smartphone by function. In results, 29.9% (potential risk group 23.6%, high risk group 6.3%) of the male middle school students were the smartphone overdependency risk group. A higher smartphone overdependency was associated with the higher the smartphone usage time per day, the higher the stress level, the higher the grade, and the lower the ego-resilience level. This requires the involvement of appropriate stress coping styles to overcome excessive stress situations. And the development and implementation of an intervention program that increases the level of ego-resilience can be expected to have an effect of controlling the smartphone use time as well as the intervention effect on stress coping.

본 연구는 남자 중학생을 대상으로 스마트폰 과의존에 미치는 영향요인을 규명하기 위해 수행한 서술적 연구이다. 남자 중학생 174명을 대상으로 스마트폰 과의존, 스트레스, 자아탄력성, 스마트폰의 기능별 사용 등에 대한 설문조사 하였다. 연구결과 남자 중학생의 스마트폰 과의존 위험군은 29.9%(잠재적 위험군은 23.6%, 고위험군은 6.3%)이었으며, 스마트폰 과의존의 영향요인은 스마트폰 사용시간, 스트레스, 자아탄력성, 고학년이었다. 즉, 하루 평균 휴대폰 사용시간이 길수록, 스트레스 수준이 높을수록, 자아탄력성 수준이 낮을수록, 고학년일수록 스마트폰 과의존도가 높았다. 이에 따라 과도한 스트레스 상황을 극복할 수 있는 적절한 스트레스 대처양식의 개입이 요구된다. 또한 자아탄력성 수준을 높이는 개입 프로그램의 개발과 수행을 통해 스트레스 대처에 대한 적절한 개입효과 뿐만 아니라 스마트폰 사용시간도 통제할 수 있는 효과도 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
