The purpose of this study was to identify the smartphone use patterns of smartphone-dependent children.
The study design was a cross-sectional descriptive study. The data were derived from the 2017 survey on smartphone overdependence conducted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Information Society Agency. The study sample was 595 elementary school students identified as being smartphone-dependent. The data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, the independent t-test, the test, the Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis.
The frequency of smartphone use was the factor strongly associated with more severe smartphone dependence in participants. Games were the most commonly used application type among participants, regardless of their degree of dependence. More severe smartphone dependence was associated with greater use of applications such as learning and television/video.
As smartphone dependence becomes more severe, children tend to use their smartphones more frequently and to use applications that involve solitary play for the purposes of entertainment and pleasure. The findings suggest that the parents should attentively monitor their children's smartphone use patterns and provide consistent discipline in a way that ensures appropriate smartphone use.
本研究旨在确定对智能手机有依赖的儿童的智能手机使用模式。
本研究设计为横断面描述性研究。数据来源于科学和信息通信技术部及国家信息社会局2017年进行的智能手机过度依赖调查。研究样本为595名被确定为对智能手机有依赖的小学生。数据通过频率、百分比、均值、标准差、独立t检验、检验、皮尔逊相关系数和多元回归分析进行分析。
智能手机使用频率是参与者中与更严重的智能手机依赖密切相关的因素。游戏是参与者中最常用的应用类型，无论其依赖程度如何。更严重的智能手机依赖与更多使用学习和电视/视频等应用相关。
随着智能手机依赖变得更加严重，儿童倾向于更频繁地使用智能手机，并使用涉及独自娱乐和消遣的应用。研究结果表明，家长应密切关注孩子的智能手机使用模式，并以确保适当使用智能手机的方式提供一致的管教。
