청소년의 스마트폰용 자녀안심 앱의 사용경험에 관한 연구

초록

The purpose of this study was to understand in-depth the experience of adolescents using Parental Control apps through narrative exploration, and to suggest future implications. To achieve these purposes, interviews were conducted with five male teenagers who had used the app for more than a year. As a result, 3 major topics and 11 sub-topics were derived. According to the results, adolescents were able to control their smartphone use through the app and became interested in their studies and new hobbies. However, due to the forcing nature of the app, teenagers felt negative emotions and high levels of stress, and their relationship with friends and parents were deteriorated. Some of the functions violated the right to privacy and confidentiality, and participants considered it unfair. In the evaluation of the app, participants explained that the app has many disadvantages and has no clear effect. They emphasized changes in policy and practice so that teenagers can develop a willingness to control their smartphone use by themselves. Also, It was hoped that society's perception that adolescents are immature would change. Finally, reflecting these research results, it was proposed to assure the practicality of the app, adjust some functions, and convert the basis of youth protection policies to competency-oriented.
