우리나라 군인들을 대상으로 스마트폰 과의존을 측정할 수 있는 척도를 요인분석한 결과 3가지 하위유형(조절실패, 현저성, 문제적 결과)로 구분되었으며, 스트레스 및 부정적인 정신건강 지표들과 유의한 정적 관련성을 나타냈다. 고위험군과 잠재적 위험군은 각각 1.8%로 나타났으며 고위험군, 잠재적 위험군, 일반군 순으로 신체화, 불안, 우울 증상이 유의하게 높았다. 스마트폰 과의존에 영향을 미치는 보호요인을 검증한 결과 자기통제, 회복탄력성, 리더십은 독립적인 영향력을 나타냈으나, 부대 공동체성은 독립적인 영향을 미치지 않았다.
Prior research has examined the risk and protective variables for smartphone overdependence. However, little is known about protective variables of the problematic use of smartphone among soldiers, especially in terms of organizational aspects. Thus, the current study used data collected from 1,651 ROK soldiers in 2022, and examined the effects of individual-level variables (self-control, resilience) and organizational-level variables (leadership, unit cohesion) on smartphone overdependence. We first examined the factor structure of the smartphone overdependence scale, which was modified from the original scale of Korean National Information Society Agency. A confirmatory factor analysis showed that the scale consisted of three subtypes (self-control failure, salience, and serious consequence), which were the same structure with the original scale, and had the significant relationships with perceived stress and negative psychological symptoms. Next, hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that individual protective variables (self-control and resilience) had unique impacts on smartphone overdependence. Among organizational-level variables, leadership was significantly associated with the smartphone overdependence, but unit cohesion had no unique impact. These results imply that commander's leadership, as well as individual-level variables, should be considered for intervention programs to reduce smartphone overdependence among ROK soldiers. Possible reasons of the null effect of unit cohesion and policy implications of this study were additionally discussed.
