Abstract

The present study sought to identify the differences in levels of depression and impulsivity depending on hours on SNS among Korean adolescents. Data for this study was collected from the responses of 1,008 of middle and high school students in Seoul in 2014. The upper 33%(N=364) and the lower 33%(N=319) of students who reported to spend lots of time on SNS were extracted from the total data to constitute two groups for analysis. The sample was analyzed utilizing SEM to compare depression and impulsivity levels of the upper group with those of the lower group while controlling for gender. In conclusion, there was a significant difference in level of depression and impulsivity between the two groups. The upper group that spent more time on SNS displayed higher levels of depression and impulsivity. The result of this study means that the more time the adolescents spend on SNS the more likely the adolescents are to be depressed and impulsive.

본 연구는 청소년의 SNS(Social Network Service) 이용시간에 따른 우울 및 충동성의 차이에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 2013년 12월 27일부터 2014년 1월 3일까지 수집된 '2014년 청소년 전자기기 과몰입 실태와 예방방안' 연구 설문 중 서울지역 중 고등학생 1,008명의 데이터를 활용하였다. 이 중 SNS 이용시간 상위 33%(N=364)와 하위 33%(N=319)의 자료를 추출하여 두 집단을 구성하였고, 성별을 통제한 후 두 집단의 우울 및 충동성의 차이를 살펴보기 위하여 Mplus 7.31 프로그램을 사용해 최대우도법 추정을 적용한 구조방정식모형(SEM) 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, SNS 이용시간에 따른 집단 간 우울 및 충동성 수준은 통계적으로 의미 있는 차이를 보였다. 즉 우울과 충동성에 성별이 미치는 영향력을 통제했을 때, 청소년의 우울 및 충동성 수준은 SNS 이용시간 하위집단 보다 SNS 이용시간 상위집단에서 더 높게 나타났다. 이것은 SNS 이용시간이 많을수록 청소년의 우울 및 충동성이 높아질 가능성이 있음을 의미한다.
