This study examines the mediating role of social withdrawal in the relationship between smartphone overdependence and quality of life in college students. These three factors were assessed in 125 college students enrolled at a college in South Jeolla Province, South Korea, from September to November 2019. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 27.0, including regression to test the research hypothesis and a Sobel test to assess the significance of the mediation. It was found that social withdrawal completely mediates the relationship between smartphone overdependence and quality of life in college students. Several means of improving the quality of life of college students are identified based on this finding. First, colleges could provide financial support for community programs such as membership training and club activities. Second, an in-college system could be built that enables early intervention in cases of social withdrawal in students. Third, closely linked programs could be designed to provide effective professional counseling to college students experiencing strong social withdrawal. Fourth, college faculty could receive psychoeducation on social withdrawal. Fifth, as various mediating variables may exist in the relationship between smartphone overdependence and quality of life and only social withdrawal was considered in this study, subsequent studies could consider the effects of more diverse psychological and social variables.
本研究考察了社交回避在大学生智能手机成瘾与生活质量之间的中介作用。2019 年 9 月至 11 月，在韩国全罗南道的一所大学，对 125 名大学生进行了这三个因素的评估。数据分析使用了 SPSS 版本 27.0，包括回归来检验研究假设和 Sobel 检验来评估中介的显著性。研究结果表明，社交回避完全中介了大学生智能手机成瘾与生活质量之间的关系。基于这一发现，提出了几种提高大学生生活质量的方法。首先，高校可以为社团培训和俱乐部活动等社区项目提供资金支持。其次，可以建立校内系统，以便对学生的社交回避问题进行早期干预。第三，可以设计紧密相关的项目，为有强烈社交回避倾向的大学生提供有效的专业心理咨询。第四，高校教师可以接受关于社交回避的心理教育。第五，由于智能手机成瘾与生活质量之间的关系可能存在多种中介变量，而本研究只考虑了社交回避，因此后续研究可以考虑更广泛的心理和社会变量的影响。
