Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the smart phone usage experience structure for college students. The phenomenology approach was used by conducting 4 times in-depth interviews with the 7 college students age between 20~23. Collected Data was analyzed by Giorgi`s phenomenological method. There were 4 general structure descriptions and 28 themes. General structure descriptions were `Dependence on smart phone`, `Phenomenon of smart phone usage`, `Results of smart phone usage` and `Relationship between stress and smart phone`. Themes consisted of `Ambivalence`, `Positive feelings for smart phones`, `Separation anxiety`, `Negative feelings for smart phones`. `Dependent feelings for smart phones`, `A sense of unity with smart phones`, `Helpful for my life`, `Deeply involved with my life`, `Useful tool in my life`, `Study, communication, relaxation and health care`, `Maintain personal relationship`, `The most important thing in my life`, `Shallow relationship stress`, `Interference with personal relationship`, `Forming a negative relationship`, `Invasion of privacy`, `Forming a Incorrect relationship`, `Unwanted participation`, `No effort to improve relationship`, `Poor concentration`, `Interference with academic study`, `Study assistance`, `Limited help for study in depth`, `Shelter from the stress`, `Amplification of the stress`, `Obsessive focus`, `Feel separation for the reality` and `Waste of time`. Smart phone usage make college students dependent on smart phones and had negative influence on both personal relationship and academic results. Usage of smart phone also amplified stress. Therefore we need fundamental principles on usage of smart phone and propose to build cultural etiquette that provides reasonable way to use smartphone.
