Abstract
Objectives This study attempted to examine the types and dependence of second-year high school students on smartphones and to identify changes in students by comparing them with previous research results. Methods To this end, 2,236 students were analyzed using latent profile analysis to identify changes in students through comparison with the results of previous studies (first year) using KCYPS 2018's first-year cohort of middle school students (second year of high school). Results When comparing the first year (middle school year) and the fifth year (high school year 2) of the cohort of the first year of middle school students in the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS 2018), first, the potential group of smartphone usage types was classified by ‘game’ in middle school, while the high school period was classified by ‘information and academia’. Second, the predictor variables that affect the type of smartphone use are ‘gender’, ‘depression’, ‘friendship’, and ‘parenting attitude’ in both middle and high school, while warmth, rejection, and provision of structure are influential. Among the sub-domains of ‘self-esteem’ and ‘parenting attitude’, ‘autonomy support, coercion, and inconsistency’ were found to have no effect. Conclusions Similar to previous studies on the impact of smartphone usage patterns, this study also analyzed that depression, friendship, and parenting attitudes have a profound effect, suggesting that the educational community and local community need to develop balanced smartphone usage habits by providing counseling and healing programs that take into account the characteristics of adolescents.
