ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of North Korean defectors' ability to use mobile devices on life satisfaction and to verify whether self-efficacy mediates this relationship. To this end, among the data on the digital information gap conducted in 2022, responses from 607 people were analyzed using a structural equation model using SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 24.0, with the ability to use mobile devices as the independent variable, life satisfaction as the dependent variable, and self-efficacy as the parameter. As a result, North Korean defectors' ability to use mobile devices was found to have a positive effect on life satisfaction. In addition, improving the ability to use mobile devices was found to increase self-efficacy. North Korean defectors' ability to use mobile devices was found to have a positive effect on life satisfaction through a positive effect on self-efficacy. As a result of checking the statistical significance of the indirect effect of self-efficacy through bootstrapping, it was found to be significant. Based on these results, practical and policy efforts to improve accessibility, such as education to improve North Korean defectors' ability to use mobile devices, were suggested.
