Abstract

This study attempted to examine the mediating effect of self-efficacy in the effect of college students' family health on the risk of smart media over-dependence in order to find ways to alleviate smart media over-dependence. To this end, 344 college students were examined for family health, self-efficacy, and the risk of smart media over-dependence and analyzed using SPSS 25.0. As a result of the study, first, there was a significant correlation between college students' family health, self-efficacy, and the risk of smart media over-dependence. Second, the mediating effect of self-efficacy was significant in the relationship between college students' family health and the risk of smart media over-dependence. Third, in the case of the high-risk group of smart media over-dependence, self-efficacy was mediated in the effect of family health on the risk of smart media over-dependence, but in the general group, self-efficacy did not show a mediating effect. Based on these results, it can be seen that in order to reduce the risk of college students' over-dependence on smart media, it is necessary to provide opportunities to improve family health as well as increase self-efficacy. Based on the results of this study, implications and suggestions were presented.
