청소년 스마트폰 이용 목적과 스마트폰 중독과의 관계 연구

스마트폰의 개념을 도입된 지 채 몇 년 되지 않지만 보급이나 활용 범위는 기존의 어떤 매체보다도 빠르고 확장되고 있다. 2012년 10월 스마트이용자 수가 3000만 명에 달한다고 하며, 스마트폰은 기존의 휴대폰의 주요 기능이었던 음성통화와 문자메시지 기능을 포함하고 정보검색, 게임, 모바일오피스, 금융, 교통정보, 음악, 동영상 등을 시간과 장소에 구애받지 않고 사용할 수 있는 다양한 기능을 가지고 있다.
스마트 폰의 애플리케이션이 제공하는 자료와 형태는 거의 무한에 가까워 누구나 손쉽게 제작이 가능하고 공유 할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다.
청소년들의 스마트폰 이용이 늘면서 중독의 우려가 커지는데 스마트폰은 하드웨어적인 공간이 필요 없고 이동성이 좋아 중독이 더 쉬어지고 있다.
청소년들이 지나치게 스마트폰에 집착하게 되면 스마트폰은 소통의 도구가 아닌 청소년의 삶을 지배하는 동반자가 되어버린다고 한다. 인터넷 중독에서와 마찬가지로 현실감이 떨어져 스마트폰 내에서의 인간관계에만 집착하게 되어 정상적인 성격형성이 어렵게 되는 것이다.
본 연구는 스마트폰이 대중화되고 과다사용에 대한 우려가 높아짐에 따라 스마트폰의 이용 동기가 과다사용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구는 스마트폰을 이용하는 전주시와 전주외시지역을 중심으로 중ˑ고등학생 370명을 조사 대상자로 설문지를 통하여 산출하였다. 이는 신체적ˑ심리적 변화를 겪는 청소년 시기로서 스마트폰 이용 동기가 과다 사용으로의 연관성을 분석해 보는 것이 필요하다 생각하게 되었기 때문이다.

본 연구의 주요 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다.
첫째, 청소년의 스마트폰의 애플리케이션 이용실태는 어떠하며, 배경변인에 따라 차이가 있는가의 분석은 여학생이 기능성 및 이용편리성, 서비스 통합성, 즉시성, 오락 및 여가, 정보획득, 과시 및 유행, 관계유지에 대해서는 남학생에 비해 높게 나왔으며, 남학생이 서비스통합성만 약간 높게 나오고 여학생이 전반적으로 높게 나타났다.
둘째, 청소년의 스마트폰의 중독은 어떠하며 배경변인에 따라 차이가 있는가의 분석은 스마트폰 사용시간 실태를 보면 여학생이 남학생에 비해 사용량이 과다사용 경향이 나타났는데, 스마트폰을 한시도 놓지 않고 늘 곁에 두고 메일이나 대화창을 수시로 확인하는 강박적 사용이 나타날 수 있다.
셋째, 스마트폰을 이용해 무료함을 달래거나 취미나 여가 활용오락 충족의 수단으로 게임을 하는 청소년이 많아지는 추세이다. 특히 청소년들이 스마트폰에 집착하는 경우는 애플리케이션을 이용한 게임을 하거나 친구들과의 관계, 과시 및 유행을 위한 것으로 볼 수 있다.
따라서 청소년의 발달 단계상 신체ˑ심리적 정상 발달을 위해 자기 통제력을 증진 시키고, 원만하고 긍정적인 생활을 할 수 있도록 청소년들로 하여금 다른 흥밋거리를 제시하고 찾을 수 있도록 부모나 교사들이 도움을 주고 청소년을 이해하고 도울 수 있는 능력을 갖추려는 자세도 필요하다
