Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between interpersonal problem, stress coping strategies and mental health for university students at risk of smartphone addiction using a structural equation modeling. Key results of the analysis were as follows. The interpersonal problem increased the severity of mental health. Stress coping strategies had partial mediating effects in the relationship between interpersonal problem and mental health. Passive coping strategy was risk factor and Active coping strategy was protective factor. Based on these results, various interventions for improving mental health for university students at risk of smartphone addiction were suggested.

본 연구의 목적은 구조방정식모형을 활용하여 스마트폰중독 위험군 대학생의 대인관계문제, 스트레스대처방식, 정신건강의 관계를 분석하는 것이다. 연구 결과, 대인관계문제는 정신건강의 심각성을 악화시키는 직접적 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 스트레스대처전략은 대인관계문제와 정신건강 사이의 영향관계에서 부분 매개효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났고, 소극적 대처는 위험요인, 적극적 대처는 보호요인으로 분석되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 스마트폰중독 위험군 대학생의 정신건강 증진을 위한 다양한 실천적 정책적 개입전략을 제시하였다.
