대학생의 스마트폰 중독과 도박행동의 관계에서 자기통제력과 비합리적 도박신념의 순차적 매개효과

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether self-control and irrational gambling beliefs sequentially mediate the effect of college students' smartphone addiction on gambling behavior. To this end, a self-report scale was conducted for college students in 413 to measure the scores of smartphone addiction, gambling behavior, self-control, and irrational gambling beliefs factors. As a result of correlation analysis, smartphone addiction and gambling behavior showed a positive relationship, and smartphone addiction had a negative effect on self-control. And self-control had a negative effect on irrational gambling beliefs, and finally, irrational gambling beliefs had a positive correlation with gambling behavior and were all significant. As a result of regression analysis for serial multi-media verification and verification of the effectiveness of indirect routes using bootstrapping, college students' smartphone addiction did not directly affect gambling behavior. However, smartphone addiction was found to have an indirect effect on gambling behavior through self-control and irrational gambling beliefs factors sequentially. This means that smartphone addiction reduces self-control, and this reduced self-control increases irrational gambling beliefs, which can increase gambling behavior. Based on the above results, the significance and implications of this study were discussed.
