우울과 긍정적 정서가 주관적 안녕감에 미치는 영향 －신경증과 외향성 척도를 중심으로－ = The Effects of Depression and Positive Emotionson Subjective Well-Being－Focused on Neuroticism and Extraversion－

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The current study examined the effects of neuroticism and extraversion on subjective well-being and the likableness for personality traits. Subjective well-being (SWB) refers to people's evaluations of their lives. These evaluations include cognitive judgments of life satisfaction and affective evaluations of emotions. 430 young adults completed Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), Intensity & Time Affect Scale (ITAS), NEO-PI-R, Likableness Scale. The data were analyzed through a series of stepwise regression to examine the unique contribution of extraversion and neuroticism facets to SWB. The results indicated that the depression facet of neuroticism and the positive emotions facet of extraversion were the strongest and most consistent predictors of SWB. The data were analyzed through hierarchical regression to examine the predictive validity of global and specific personality dimensions. The results showed that depression predicted life satisfaction and positive affect above and beyond neuroticism. Positive emotions also predicted SWB above and beyond extraversion. The likableness for the facet of neuroticism and extraversion was assessed by mean scores. The result showed the lowest likable personality trait was angry hostility and the highest likable personality trait was warmth. It was suggested that the evaluations of personality traits might not effect on experiencing SWB strongly. Based on this study, it was suggested that a more precise assessment of personality should be estimated for the better understanding of SWB. The implications and limitations of current study and recommendations for further research were discussed.

본 연구는 신경증과 외향성의 하위요인 중 우울과 긍정적 정서가 주관적 안녕감에 미치는 영향과 각 성격 특성에 대한 호감도를 알아보기 위해 실시되었다. 이를 위해 20대 남녀 430명을 대상으로 삶 만족도 척도, 정서측정 척도, 신경증과 외향성 척도, 성격 특성에 관한 호감도 척도를 사용하여 설문을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 신경증과 외향성의 하위요인 중 주관적 안녕감에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 변인은 각각 우울과 긍정적 정서였다. 전반적 수준의 성격 특성과 구체적 성격 특성의 예언타당도를 비교한 결과 우울은 삶 만족도와 정적 정서에서 신경증보다 더 나은 예언변인으로 나타났으며, 긍정적 정서는 외향성 이상으로 주관적 안녕감을 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 신경증과 외향성의 하위요인에 대한 호감도를 알아보았는데 예상과 달리 호감도가 가장 낮은 성격 특성은 적대감이었고, 호감도가 가장 높은 성격 특성은 온정성이었다. 이를 통해 성격 특성에 대한 평가가 주관적 안녕감의 경험에 중요한 영향을 미치지 않을 것이라고 추론할 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 주관적 안녕감에 대한 보다 깊은 이해를 위해 성격에 대한 구체적이고 세부적인 평가가 이루어져야 함을 시사한다. 본 연구의 시사점과 제한점, 후속 연구를 위한 제언에 대해 논의하였다.
