|
Objectives ： This study investigated the prevalence of smartphone addiction in a sample of Korean adolescents, and its association with environmental factors such as relationship with family, peers and teachers, and emotional factors such as depressive and anxiety symptoms.
Methods ： A total of 4,505 middle and high school students in Gwang-ju metropolitan city were enrolled for this study. Subjects were asked to complete a self-reported questionnaire, including measures of the Korean Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and the 5-point Likert scales for relationship and demographic variables.
Results ： 535 subjects (11.9%) were categorized to the addiction group, while 3,970 subjects belonged to the normal group. Smartphone addiction group showed that BDI and BAI scores were significantly higher than the normal group. The smartphone addiction group also had significantly lower scores in relation indices, such as family, peer and teacher relationship, than that observed in the normal group. Using multiple regression analysis, the results showed that depression, anxiety, negative family and teacher relationship were significant factors affecting smartphone addiction scores in adolescents.
Conclusion : These results indicate that emotional and environmental factors, such as relationship with others, have an important influence on smartphone addiction.
