대학생의 거부민감성이 대인관계문제에 미치는 영향

Abstract

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 거부민감성과 대인관계문제에서 경험회피와 정서인식명확성의 매개효과를 살펴보는데 있다. 본 연구의 대상은 부산광역시, 경상남도, 서울, 경기도, 4개시도에 소재한 대학에 재학 중인 대학생 359명을 대상으로, 거부민감성, 대인관계문제, 경험회피, 정서인식명확성에 관한 설문을 실시하였고, 무성의하게 응답한 12부를 제외한 347부의 설문지가 사용되었다. SPSS 25.0을 사용하여 변인들 간의 관련성을 살펴보기 위해 상관분석을 실시하였고 Hayes(2013)가 제안한 매개모형의 절차에 따라 경로를 분석하여 매개효과를 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 첫째, 대학생의 거부민감성이 대인관계문제에 직접적인 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 대학생의 거부민감성 경험회피를 매개로 대인관계문제에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 대학생의 거부민감성은 정서인식명확성을 매개로 대인관계문제에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 대학생의 거부민감성은 경험회피와 정서인식명확성을 순차적 매개하여 대인관계 문제에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 대학생이 거부민감성이 높은 경우 거부에 대한 불안으로 경험회피를 하게되어 정서인식명확성이 낮아져 대인관계문제에 영향을 줄 주 있음을 시사한다. 본 연구는 대학생 내담자의 대인관계문제를 감소시키기 위한 교육 및 상담 프로그램 개발의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate mediated effect of experiential avoidance and emotional clarity that comes from rejection sensitivity of the university student and their interpersonal relations difficulties. The subjects of this study were 359 university students in four cities and provinces such as Busan, Gyeongsangnamdo, Seoul, Gyeonggi Province and they were asked about rejection sensitivity, interpersonal relations problems, experiential avoidance, and emotional clarity with questionnaire. 347 copies of the questionnaires except for 12 ones answered untrustworthily were used for this study. Correlation analysis was conducted so as to examine interrelations of variables by using SPSS 15.0, the mediated effect is verified by analysing paths according to the procedures of the mediated model suggested by Hayes(2013). The findings of this study are the following: First, rejection sensitivity of the university students influences directly on their interpersonal relations problems. Second, rejection sensitivity of the students has an effect on interpersonal relations problems by mediating experiential avoidance. Third, rejection sensitivity of the university students has an influence on interpersonal relations problems by mediating emotional clarity. Fourth, rejection sensitivity of the university students effects on interpersonal relations problems by successively mediating experiential avoidance and emotional clarity. These findings show that if a university student has high level of rejection sensitivity, the student will avoid the experience due to anxiety about rejection and have low level of emotional clarity, and in turn, it can give an effect on interpersonal relations problems. Thus, based on the findings, this study suggests that practical measures for reducing interpersonal relations difficulties of the university students should be discussed and if a university student client who reports interpersonal relations problems and is sensitive to rejection is faced in practical counseling, it is expected that the results of this study can help the student to adjust to interpersonal relations soundly through proper interventions of experiential avoidance and emotional clarity. Finally, suggestions and limits of this study and suggestions of the following studies are discussed based on the findings above.
