This study analyzes the effects of smartphone overdependence and the quality of friendship on depression among high school students in Korea. The study subjects were 121 high school students. Smartphone overdependence was assessed using the smartphone overdependence scale for adolescents, depression was assessed using the Korean version of the patient health questionnaire-9, and the quality of friendship was assessed using the friendship quality questionnaire. The results of the correlation analysis showed statistically significant differences among all the variables. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis showed that smartphone overdependence increases the depression level, whereas the quality of friendship lowers it. To decrease depression among high school students, smartphone overdependence and the quality of friendship should be managed appropriately. Moreover, the causal relationships and mediating effects between smartphone overdependence and the quality of friendship should be analyzed.
本研究分析了智能手机过度依赖和友谊质量对韩国高中生抑郁的影响。研究对象为 121 名高中生。使用青少年智能手机过度依赖量表评估智能手机过度依赖,使用韩国版患者健康问卷-9评估抑郁,使用友谊质量问卷评估友谊质量。相关分析结果显示,所有变量之间均存在统计学差异。多元线性回归分析结果显示,智能手机过度依赖会增加抑郁水平,而友谊质量则会降低抑郁水平。为降低高中生的抑郁水平,应适当管理智能手机过度依赖和友谊质量。此外,还应分析智能手机过度依赖和友谊质量之间的因果关系和中介效应。
