- Abstract
This study aims to examine the changes in longitudinal smartphone addiction among middle school students and to investigate differences in multidimensional harms such as psychological status, physical development, learning attitude, and mental health according to the derived heterogeneous changes. For this purpose, it analyzed a three-year period (2018-2020) of cohort data from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey of 2018. After confirming the change in smartphone addiction of middle school students by performing latent class trajectory analysis, ANOVA and post-hoc test were used to examine how the difference in harmful effects appeared at the last point according to each type. In consideration of the model suitability (log likehood, AIC, BIC, SABIC), a model that classified the changes in smartphone addiction of middle school students into five latent classes was determined as the final model. In addition, there were significant differences in multidimensional categories such as physical development, psychological status, and mental health according to the latent class. These results suggest the need to prepare an intervention plan that considers the heterogeneous types of smartphone addiction and the resulting harmful aspects, rather than responding to smartphone addiction of middle school students through fragmentary policies.
