본 연구의 목적은 자기조절초점의 이론적 개념을 근거로 청소년의 스마트폰사용과 관련하여 자기조절척도(SRSAS-RFT)를 개발하고 신뢰도와 타당도 검증을 통해 청소년들에게 적합한 자기조절의 속성을 발견하기 위해서 이루어졌다. 이를 위해 청소년을 대상으로 하여 SRSAS-RFT의 예비문항을 개발하고 탐색적 요인분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, “예방초점적 자기조절‘, ’향상초점적 자기조절‘로 구성된 2요인 모델이 확인되었으며, 이 모델은 확인적 요인분석에서도 지지되었을 뿐만 아니라, 기존의 자기조절초점 척도와도 유의한정적 상관을 나타내었다. 마지막으로 자기조절초점의 이론에 근거한 청소년스마트폰 사용 자기조절 척도의 유용성과 연구의 제한점 등이 논의되었다.

The purpose of the study was to develop the scale for ‘ Self-Regulation Scale for adolecent’s smartphone use: Based on the Regulatory Focus Theory(SRSAS-RFT)’.30 preliminary questions of SRSAS-RFT were developed and validity of items was confirmed by verification of a group of pundit. Participants for this study were 611 middle school and high school students. The crucial 11 items were strictly selected by factor analysis, and searched form fit indices with confirmatory factor analysis. The results showed that the SRSAS-RFT was composed of two factors(Preventional focus Self Regulation, Promotional focus Self Regulation). And internal consistency between items of the scale was relatively reliable to .75(cronbach’s a). As well, the two factors of SRSAS-RFT were correlated with General Self Regulation Measure, The Brief Self-Control Measure, Self-Esteem Inventory, Smartphone Addiciton Proneness Scale. The results suggested that the SRSAS-RFT has both valid and reliable psychometric properties. Finally, the implications of this study and directions for future study were discussed.
