This study was conducted and testified to find out the correlation between learning stress, satisfaction of friendship and smartphone addiction. To uncover that using smartphone affects students' stress, and the sense of satisfaction of students' associates on their studying, these data came from one of high schools of Gyeong-gi Province, among 300 students as subjects, and total 289 collecting data were used for the study. As subordinating measurements of this study, the smartphone addiction tests, learning stress tests, and satisfaction of friendship tests were completed. Collecting data were associated with relative and regression analysis to evaluate the validity of smartphone addiction tendency among a sample of high school students.
The summary of the study is as follows: First, smartphone addiction tendency scale is proportioned to learning stress from a sample of high school students, according to the test in which higher stressed students were more prone to be addicted to smartphones than lower stressed students. Second, smartphone addiction tendency scale is in inverse proportion to satisfaction of friendship according to the test in which one group who had lower satisfaction of friendship was subjected to more smartphone addiction rather than the other group. This refers to that there are less significance between personal relations and smartphone addiction based on the similar preceding studies. It suggests that the importance of further study is necessitated inasmuch as it is hard to explain smartphone addiction caused by personal relations at the same time. Third, the relation analysis of the factors, consequently, smartphone addiction is much more meaningfully related with learning stress rather than with satisfaction of friendship.
The importance of this study explicitly presents the source of smartphone addiction among high school students and the significance that the individual learning stress can cause smartphone addiction. And yet there will be required to have subsequent studies that deal with the variations inducing smartphone ad
diction besides learning stress.
