대학생의 SNS 중독경향성과 대학생활적응의 관계에서 회복탄력성의 매개효과

초록

This study examined the mediating effects of resilience and its sub-factors on the relationship between social networking site (SNS) addiction tendency and college life adaptation among university students. A survey was conducted with students enrolled at a university in the M region, and the collected data (425 questionnaires) were analyzed using SPSS 29.0 and the PROCESS Macro. Gender, academic year, grade point average, religion, and perceived economic status were controlled, and the significance of indirect effects was tested using bootstrapping. The major findings were as follows: First, SNS addiction tendency among university students had negative effects on resilience and its sub-factors, including controllability, positivity, and sociality. Second, SNS addiction tendency negatively affected college life adaptation, whereas resilience and its sub-factors positively affected college life adaptation. Third, resilience and its sub-factors were found to partially mediate the relationship between SNS addiction tendency and college life adaptation. Among the subdimensions, positivity demonstrated the largest indirect effect. Based on these findings, the study discussed implications for psychosocial support strategies that consider resilience to prevent SNS addiction and improve college life adaptation among university students.
