Abstract

This study examined what leads to smartphone addiction by looking into personal, environmental, and smartphone characteristics, to identify their influences on the degree of addiction and changes in daily life. Therefore, surveys were conducted on college undergraduates, who get easily addicted to smartphones The study hypotheses were evaluated through a structural equation model on a total of 370 collected survey questionnaires Findings revealed: first, with reference to personal characteristics, the more competent and highly related one is, the more negatively influenced one is in getting addicted to smartphones. Second, as for environmental characteristics, the bigger the social impact is, the more positively influenced one is on smartphone addiction. Third, among the characteristics of a smartphone, the ubiquity showed a positive influence on smartphone addiction. Lastly, the degree to which one is addicted to a smartphone has(either positive or negative) on the changes in one's daily life. These results are not intended to blindly inhibit smartphone use by highlighting the negative aspects of smartphones, but are expected to serve as basic data to develop a preventative and remedial program based on the degree of smartphone addiction.

본 연구는 스마트폰 중독에 영향을 미치는 요인을 개인특성, 환경 특성, 스마트폰 특성으로 나누어 이러한 특성이 스마트폰 중독정도 및 일상생활의 변화에 미치는 영향력을 살펴보는 것이다. 본 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 스마폰 사용이 일상화되어 있어 스마트폰 중독에 쉽게 노출되어 있는 대학생들을 대상으로 설문을 수행하였다. 총 370부의 설문지를 회수하여 SPSS와 SmartPLS 2.0을 활용하여 구조방정식 모형으로 연구가설을 검정하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 개인 특성 중 유능감과 관계성이 높을수록 스마트폰 중독에 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 환경 특성 중 사회적 영향이 클수록 스마트폰 중독에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 스마트폰 특성 중 편재성은 스마트폰 중독에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 스마트폰 중독정도에 따라 일상생활의 변화에 긍정적 및 부정적인 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 스마트폰의 부정적인 측면만을 부각시켜 무조건 억제할 것이 아니라 스마트폰 중독정도에 따라 예방하고 개선할 수 있는 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료가 될 것으로 보인다.
