[Abstract]
The purpose of this study is to find out whether smartphone overdependence serves as a significant mediating effect in the relationship of anxiety and school life adjustment to prevent and reduce problems of anxiety and smartphone overdependence among university students and to seek alternatives to improve school life adjustment. For this purpose, a structural equation model analysis was conducted on male and female university students attending a four-year university located in Gwangju Metropolitan City to verify the mediated effect. As the result of the analysis, The mediating effects of smartphone overdependence were statistically significant and presented as a partial medium, showing the direct effect of anxiety directly affecting school life adjustment and the indirect effect of anxiety on school life adjustment by means of smartphone overdependence. Based on these findings, the significance of the study and its implications were discussed, and suggestions were put forward for further study.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생을 대상으로 불안과 대학생활적응의 관계에서 스마트폰 과의존이 유의 한 매개변수의 역할을 하는지 알아봄으로써 대학생의 불안과 스마트폰 과의존의 문제를 예방 및 감소하고 대학생활적응을 향상시키기 위한 대안을 모색하는 데 있다 . 이를 위하여 광주광역시에 위치한 4년제 대학교에 재학 중인 남녀대학생을 대상으로 구조방정식모형 분석을 실시하여 매개 효과를 검증하였다 . 주요 분석결과는 스마트폰 과의존의 매개효과는 통계적으로 유의하였고 부분 매개로 나타남으로써 직접효과인 불안이 대학생활적응에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 것과 간접효 과인 불안이 스마트폰 과의존을 통해 대학생활적응에 간접적으로 영향을 미치는 것을 함께 보여 주는 것이다 . 이러한 분석결과를 토대로 연구의 의의와 그 시사점을 언급하고, 후속연구를 위한 제언을 제시하였다 .
