다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aimed to verify the actor effect and the partner effect between parents and children in the process by which parents’and children’s smartphone dependence affects life satisfaction through self-esteem. The subjects of the study were 2,286 pairs of second-year middle school children and their parents using the Korean Youth Policy Institute's Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey data, and the actor-partner interdependence model(APIM) was applied for analysis. The results of the study showed that first, the actor effect of smartphone dependence on self-esteem and the actor effect of self-esteem on life satisfaction were statistically significant for both children and parents. However, children's smartphone dependence showed a negative effect on children's life satisfaction, while parents' smartphone dependence showed a positive effect on parents' life satisfaction. Second, the counterpart effect of smartphone dependence on self-esteem had a negative effect on both parents and children. On the other hand, the counterpart effect of self-esteem on life satisfaction and the counterpart effect of smartphone dependence on life satisfaction were not significant. Third, in terms of the influence of self-esteem on smartphone dependence and life satisfaction of parents and children, the actor-level mediating effect of self-esteem was found to have a partial mediating effect, while the mediating effect of the counterpart effect of self-esteem was found to have a complete mediating effect. Based on these results, discussions on reducing smartphone dependence of parents and children, improving life satisfaction and self-esteem, and implications in terms of the relationship between parents and children were presented.
