The present paper has the purpose of analyzing the effects of adolescents’ motivation for use of smart phone on their addiction to smart phone and the mediating effects of social support. As subjects of the analysis, 659 adolescents were selected from among the students enrolled in high schools in Chungnam Province and Daejeon Metropolitan City and were put to hierarchical regression analysis, which produced following outcomes primarily: First, the motivation for pursuit of information was found to have negative (-) effects upon addiction to smart phone while the motivation for chase of entertainment turned out to have positive impacts on addiction to smart phone; Second, the analysis showed that social support has negative (-) influence upon addiction to smart phone; and Third, social support could exercise positive (+) mediating effects upon the motivation for search of relationship but negative (-) ones upon the motivation for pastime. Based on these outcomes of the analysis, it was discussed to map out practical intervention measures to promote mental health of adolescents as well as to prevent them from becoming addicted to smart phone.
