Abstract

This study sought to examine how preschool children's smartphone dependency is affected by their own mothers' smartphone dependency, parenting self-efficacy, and parenting behaviors. The major findings of this study are as follows. Children's smartphone dependency was positively correlated with their mothers' own smartphone dependency and negatively correlated with their mothers' parenting self-efficacy. In addition, children's smartphone dependency was negatively correlated with their mothers' warmth encouragement and limit setting while it was positively correlated with overprotection permissiveness. It was also found that when the mothers' smartphone dependency, which was the strongest predictor of their children's own smartphone dependency, was contolled, the mothers' parenting self-efficacy of communication, overprotection permissiveness, and limit setting were significant predictors of children's smartphone dependency. The results of this study imply the importance of parenting in preventing children from developing smartphone dependency.

본 연구에서는 만3~5세 유아의 스마트폰 사용 실태를 알아보고 어머니의 스마트폰 의존, 양육효능감, 양육행동이 유아 스마트폰 의존과 어떠한 관계를 보이는지 알아보았다. 그 결과, 유아의 스마트폰 의존은 어머니의 스마트폰 의존과 정적 상관, 양육효능감과는 부적 상관, 양육행동 중 온정 격려 및 한계설정과는 정적상관, 과보호 허용과는 부적 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 유아의 스마트폰 의존에 가장 큰 영향력을 미치는 변인은 어머니의 스마트폰 의존으로 나타났고 이변인을 통제했을 때도 양육효능감의 하위변인인 의사소통과 양육행동의 하위변인인 과보호 허용, 한계설정이 유아의 스마트폰 의존에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 어머니의 스마트폰 의존 정도가 동일한 경우에 어머니의 의사소통 양육효능감이 높으면 유아의 스마트폰 의존이 낮아진다는 것이다. 또한 어머니의 스마트폰 의존 정도가 동일한 경우에 어머니의 양육행동 중 과보호 허용이 높고 한계설정이 낮으면 유아의 스마트폰 의존 정도가 높아진다는 것이다. 따라서 유아의 스마트폰 의존을 예방하기 위해서는 어머니가 자신의 스마트폰 의존 문제를 해결하고 적절한 자녀양육 행동을 학습하여 실천할 수 있도록 하는 사회적 지원체계가 마련되어야 할 것이다.
