자기애와 폭식의 관계에서 수치심의 매개효과와 자기개념 명확성의 조절효과

국문 초록 (Abstract)

폭식 장애는 특히 자기애 성향을 보이는 여성에서 높게 나타난다고 보고되었으며, 폭식과 자기애는 수치심과도 밀접한 관련이 있는 문제 행동이다. 일반적으로 자기 개념이 높으면 심리적 건강이 높다고 알려져 있으나, 폭식행동과의 같은 문제 행동에도 영향을 미치는지는 불확실하다. 그러나 현대 사회에서는 남성에서도 폭식 행동이 증가하는 추세이지만 성별에 따라 자기애와 폭식의 관련성이 다르게 나타나는지에 대한 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 성별에 따라 자기애와 폭식의 관계에서 내면화된 수치심의 매개효과와 자기개념 명확성의 조절효과를 각각 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 강원 소재의 대학생 498명(남 287명, 여 231명)을 대상으로 적응적 자기애인 자기주도 자기애와 부적응적 자기애인 타인의존 자기애로 나뉜 자기애 척도, 특질 수치심을 측정하는 내면화된 수치심 척도(ISS), 자기개념 명확성 척도(SCC), 폭식행동 질문지를 사용하여 설문조사를 실시하였다.
먼저 남성과 여성이 각 변인에서 차이를 나타내는지 확인한 결과, 여성이 남성보다 내면화된 수치심과 폭식이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 타인의존 자기애와 폭식의 관계에서 내면화된 수치심의 매개효과를 남성과 여성에서 살펴본 결과, 각각 완전매개, 부분매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 타인의존 자기애와 폭식의 관계에서 자기개념 명확성의 조절효과를 살펴보았는데, 남성과 여성 모두에서 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 여전히 폭식이 여성에서 흔한 성 특정적인 문제 행동이며, 여성과 남성 모두에서 폭식 행동의 유발은 부적응적인 자기애 성향뿐 아니라 특질 수치심을 고려해야 함을 의미한다. 또한 사회적인 평가에 예민한 동양인에서는 자기개념 명확성이 폭식행동을 낮추는 역할이 미비한 것으로 보인다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Binge eating disorder is reported to be seen commonly particularly in women who have an inclination of narcissism, and binge eating and narcissism are problematic behaviors which are closely related with shame, too. One with high self-concept is generally known to be mentally healthier, but it is not clear if it influences problematic behaviors such as a binge eating behavior, too. And although binge eating behaviors tend to increase in men in modern society, there have not been sufficient studies on whether the relationship between narcissism and binge eating appears differently in accordance with gender. Therefore, this study tried to investigate the mediating effects of shame and the moderating effects of self-concept clarity in the relationship between narcissism and binge eating for each gender. For the study conducted a survey with the subject of 498 university students (287 male students and 231 female students) in Kangwon Province, using a questionnaire on a narcissism measure - divided into self-initiated narcissism, which is adaptive narcissism, and other people-dependent narcissism, which is maladaptive narcissism ? an internalized shame scale(ISS) to measure trait shame, a self-concept clarity scale(SCC), and a binge eating behavior.
The result on the difference between men and women on each variable shows that internalized shame and binge eating are commoner in women. The mediating effects of internalized shame in the relationship between other people-dependent narcissism and binge eating is found to be full and partial, respectively, for men and women. Finally, no moderating effects of self-concept clarity was found in the relationship between other people-dependent narcissism and binge eating both in women and men. Such a result means that binge eating is a gender-specific, problematic behavior which is commoner in women and that not only maladaptive narcissism inclination but trait shame should be taken into consideration for the occurring of a binge eating behavior. And it seems that in the Asian people, who are sensitive to the social reputation, self-concept clarity does not play its role in reducing binge eating behaviors.
