Abstract
This study explores the relationship between the closeness of key adolescent relationships (parents, teachers, friends) and smartphone addiction, specifically comparing adolescents with and without experiences of school violence victimization. Using data from the Korea Youth Foundation, the study surveyed 3,066 middle and high school students. The results revealed that adolescents who experienced school violence are more vulnerable to stress and less able to mitigate smartphone addiction through key relational systems. This finding highlights the overwhelming impact of school violence on individuals compared to other factors. School violence has long-term negative effects on the mental health and behavior of victims, necessitating systematic approaches and diverse support programs for prevention and support. Building networks among parents, teachers, educational authorities, and external organizations is essential. Additionally, the study emphasizes the urgent need to enhance the social capital functions of key adolescent relationships and raise awareness about the competitive educational environment.
