Abstract

The purpose of this study was to classify the elementary school students to latent groups according to the type of mobile phone usage and to verify the relationship with mobile phone dependency. The latent profile analysis was conducted using the first grade panel data of the elementary school in the Korea Children 's Youth Panel in 2016. The results found 3 latent classes of mobile phone usage: family and friend concentration (Type1), family concentration low level (Type2) and essential (Type3). The results of multiple regression analysis for verifying the relationship between mobile phone use type and mobile phone dependency showed a significant effect. The Type 2 showed more dependency than the Type 1, and the Type 1 showed more dependency than the Type 3. These findings provided basis for the guideline of mobile phones use and for proper intervention to prevent mobile phone dependency for elementary school students.

본 연구는 초등학생들을 휴대전화 이용유형에 따라 잠재계층으로 분류하고 휴대전화 의존도와의 관계를 검증하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 2016년 한국 아동 청소년 패널조사의 초등학교 1학년 패널 자료를 사용하여 휴대전화 이용유형에 따른 잠재프로파일분석을 실시한 결과, 1)가족&친구 집중형, 2)가족집중 저수준형, 3)필수이용형의 3개 유형으로 나뉘어졌다. 휴대전화 이용 유형과 휴대전화 의존도의 관계를 검증하기 위한 다중회귀분석결과 1)가족&친구 집중형보다 2)가족집중 저수준형일수록 휴대전화 의존도가 높아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 3)필수이용형보다는 1)가족&친구 집중형일수록 휴대전화 의존도가 높아지는 것으로 나타나, 휴대전화 이용유형이 휴대전화 의존도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 연구결과는 휴대전화 사용의 초기단계에 있는 초등학생을 위한 올바른 휴대전화 이용과 과의존 예방을 위한 개입 방안에 대한 근거를 제공하고 있다. 끝으로 본 연구의 의의 및 후속연구에 대한 제언을 논의하였다.
