Abstract

The purpose of this study is to deeply understand how married women who use smart media excessively reconfigure and over - use experiences in marriage relationship and child relationship before and after marriage. The researchers selected 3 married women aged 20-30 within 10 years of marriage with infant children aged 3-5 years who overuse smart media. The research puzzle is how the experience of life before marriage forms an experience story after marriage using excessive use of smart media, and what marital relationship and child relationship story after marriage are alive. Data analysis was conducted by Clandinin and Connelly (2000) on the narrative inquiry procedure and the three - dimensional narrative search point of time, social, and place. Firstly, smart media was a refuge of emotions that we met in an environment where we can not express feelings freely. Second, smart media was a jar that accepted frustration when the irrational desire for marriage or expectation was frustrated. Third, smart media was a way to compensate for the lack of children who could not be a good mother. Based on these results, we discussed the experiences and meaning of life of married women who overuse smart media, and made suggestions for follow - up study.
