Purpose: This study examined and understood the relationship between the parent-child conversation time, self-directed learning time, and grid in the middle school students' smartphone dependence, and verified the mediating effect of the parent-child conversation time and the self-directed learning time in the relationship between the smartphone dependence and the grid. Method: By using the data from the 2018 Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey, the relationship between the variables was analyzed through the multiple regression analysis targeting 2378 first-year middle school stu-dents. Results: First, the smartphone dependence had a negative effect on the parent-child conversation time and grid, and the parent-child conversation time had a positive effect on the grid. Furthermore, it turned out that the smartphone dependence partially mediates the conversation time of parents and children and affects the grid of the middle school students. Second, the smartphone dependence had a negative effect on the self-directed learn-ing time and grid, and the self-directed learning time had a positive effect on the grid. Furthermore, it turned out that the smartphone dependence partially mediates the self-directed learning time and affects the grid of the middle school students. Conclusion: As the parents and children spend more time on conversation, their children's smartphone de-pendence decreases, and as the grid is high, positive communication between the parents and children at home increases the children's grid, which may have a positive effect on their academic achievement and life satisfaction. In order to increase the grid, the factors such as the self-directed learning must be considered together.
