부모에 대한 갈등적 독립과 애착이 대학생의 진로 결정 수준에 미치는 영향 - 자아 정체감 수준을 매개로 - = The Effect of Conflictual Independence from Parents and Parental Attachment on the College students` Career Decision Status : Mediated by Ego - Identity Status

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was designed to investigate the mediating effect of ego-identity status on the path from conflictual independence from parents and parental attachment to career decision status of college students. The subjects of this study consisted of a recruited sample of 932 four-year university students residing in Seoul and other rural areas. Hoffman`s(1984) Psychological Separation Inventory and Armsden & GReenberg`s(1987) Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment were used to obtain a measure of conflictual independence from parents and parental attachment. Ego-identity status and career decision status of university students were measured by Adams, Shea, & Ritch`s(1979) Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status-2 and Osipow`s(1980) Career Decision Scale. The data was analyzed by stepwise multiple regression and path analysis. The result of fitting the model for conflictual independence from father and mother, attachment with father and mother, ego-identity status, and career decision status of university students showed that there were significant paths among variables only in men`s and women`s moratorium status groups. In men`s moratorium status group, there were significant mediating effects by moratorium status in the paths from paternal and maternal conflictual independences to career decision status. But, there was no significant mediating effect by moratorium status in the paths from paternal and maternal attachments to career decision status. Just men`s maternal attachment influences directly on career decision status. In women`s moratorium status group, there was significant mediating effect by moratorium status in the path from maternal conflictual independence to career decision status. But, there was no significant mediating effect by moratorium status in the paths from paternal conflictual independence and paternal and maternal attachments to career decision status. There was no direct influence from parental conflictual independence and attachment to career decision status. This result shows that as the college student of moratorium status is free from wrath, guilt, resentment, etc. toward homosexual parent specially mother, so moratorium degree of no involvement and no decision decreases and certainly about career decision increases. On the contrary, the college students of diffusion and foreclosure statuses show strong identification with homosexual parent and separation avoiding tendency.
