다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of emotional dysregulation and depression in the relationship between perceived stress and smartphone addiction in college students. A total of 313 adults completed self-report measures, which included the Korean version of the perceived stress scale, the smartphone addiction scale, the emotional dysregulation scale, and the depression scale. The main results are as follows. Firstly, perceived stress was effected to smartphone addiction. Secondly, impulse control difficulties and lack of clarity subscales mediated the relationship between perceived stress and smartphone addiction. Thirdly, depression also mediated the relationship between perceived stress and smartphone addiction. It suggests that perceived stress increases the possibility of smartphone addiction through behaving ineffectively in the face of impulse control disability or lack of emotional clarity or depressive mood state. Hence, intervention for students should focus not only on stress but also on emotional process.
