Abstract

This study was conducted with male/female teenagers to examine the interaction between their attachment to social media and their self-identity in both real space and cyberspace. Among the subjects, male teenagers tended to use social media more than female teenagers. Also, the more friends/followers they have, the more they would use the service itself. In the subordinate correlation of the subjects' self-identity in both cyberspace and real space, most areas showed positive correlation. And each subregion of the areas of real-space ego-identity and social media addiction showed positive correlation with them as well. On the other hand, in areas of social media addiction and cyberspace ego-identity, all areas showed negative correlation except the area of dominance. Through this experiment, it was proven apparent that there needs to be proper management of teenagers that are overusing and are addicted to social media, and that programs should be developed to mediate the subjects in regards to each subregion of real space and cyberspace ego-identity.

본 연구는 남녀 청소년을 대상으로 SNS중독상태, 현실공간 및 가상공간의 자아정체감의 상태를 확인하고, SNS중독여부와 현실공간 및 가상공간에서의 자아정체감 사이의 관계를 규명하고자 시행되었다. 연구대상자 중 남성이 여성보다 SNS사용 시간이 더 많았고, SNS친구 수가 많을수록 SNS 사용을 더 많이 하는 것으로 나타났다. 현실과 가상공간에서의 자아정체감 하위 영역 상관관계에서는 대부분의 영역에서 정의 상관관계를 보였으며, 현실공간 자아정체감과 SNS중독의 각 하위 영역과도 모든 영역에서 정의 상관관계를 보였다. 그러나 SNS중독과 가상공간 자아정체감의 영역에서는 주도성을 제외한 나머지 영역에서 음의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 이를 통하여 SNS중독 대상자들에 대한 교육과 관리가 필요하며, 현실공간 및 자아정체감의 각 하위영역별로 대상자들을 중재할 수 있는 프로그램이 개발되어야 할 것이다.
