Abstract

Smartphone dependency (SD) has been linked to decreased happiness; however, research has not yet explored potential mediating mechanisms such as social class awareness (SCA) in this relationship. This study examined the association between SD and happiness among middle school students and the mediating effect of SCA in this relationship. Data from the 11th Korea-Child Happiness Index 2019 Survey were used, which is a cross-sectional survey administered to children and adolescents residing in South Korea collected by the Korea Social Science Data Archive (KOSSDA). A total of 2,296 Korean middle school students were selected for analysis. Findings suggest that higher levels of SD were associated with lower levels of happiness. SCA mediated the relationship between SD and happiness among middle school students. SD prevention and intervention approaches should consider the extent to which SCA impacts happiness of middle school students.

韩国中学生的智能手机依赖、幸福感和社会阶层意识

智能手机依赖(SD)与幸福感下降有关;然而，研究尚未探索潜在的中介机制，如社会阶层意识(SCA)在这种关系中的作用。本研究考察了中学生心理障碍与幸福感的关系，以及SCA在这种关系中的中介作用。使用的数据来自韩国社会科学资料资料馆(KOSSDA)收集的对居住在韩国的儿童和青少年进行的横断面调查“2019年第11次韩国儿童幸福指数调查”。调查对象为2296名韩国中学生。研究结果表明，SD水平越高，幸福感越低。SCA在中学生学习障碍与幸福感之间起中介作用。SCA的预防和干预方法应考虑SCA对中学生幸福感的影响程度。
