摘要：The purpose of this study was to investigate the cellular phone addiction status and the relationship between cellular phone addiction and self-esteem of elementary school students in today�s highly mobile environment. The study participants were 1,173 upper grade elementary school students in Chungnam province. Data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire from November 5 to 26, 2012. Collected data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS 20.0 program with descriptive statistics, Pearsons correlation coefficient, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA and Scheffe test. The level of the cellular phone addiction in upper grade elementary school students was generally low but high risk students also existed. In addition, a negative correlation was observed between self-esteem and cellular phone addiction in upper grade elementary school students. These results suggest that various interventions to prevent and manage the cellular phone addiction should be provided for elementary school students in today�s highly mobile environment and interventions for high risk students of cellular phone addiction should be provided urgently. In addition, inclusion of interventions to increase the self esteem of upper grade elementary school students in those interventions should be also needed.
