정서표현 양가성과 결혼 만족도의 관계 : 정서조절방략의 매개효과 = The relationship between ambivalence over emotional expressiveness and marital satisfaction : the mediating effects of emotion regulation strategy

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 정서표현 양가성과 결혼만족도의 관계에서 인지적 정서조절방략, 행동적 정서조절방략, 그리고 체험적 정서조절방략 각각의 매개효과를 검증해 보고자 하였다. 연구대상은 기혼 남성과 여성 296명으로 한국판 정서표현 양가성 질문지(AEQ-K), 정서조절방략 질문지(ERSQ), 결혼만족도 검사(MSI)를 사용하여 설문을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다.
첫째, 정서표현 양가성, 정서조절방략(인지적, 행동적, 체험적), 결혼만족도 간의 상관분석을 한 결과, 먼저 정서표현 양가성은 결혼만족도와 유의한 부적 상관을 나타내었으며 정서표현 양가성의 하위요인 중 자기방어적 양가성이 결혼만족도와 유의한 부적상관을 나타내었다. 또한 인지적 정서조절방략과 결혼만족도의 관계에서 부정적으로 생각하기, 타인비난하기가 각각 부적상관을 보였으며 능동적으로 생각하기는 정적상관을 보였다. 행동적 정서조절방략에서는 폭식하기가 부적상관을 보였으며 문제행동해결 취하기, 친밀한 사람 만나기, 기분전환 활동하기는 정적상관을 보였다. 체험적 정서조절방략에서는 타인에게 부정적 감정 분출하기 및 안전한 상황에서 부정적 감정 분출하기가 결혼만족도와 부적상관을 보였다.
둘째, 정서표현 양가성과 결혼만족도에 있어 성별 차이를 확인하기 위하여 t검증을 실시한 결과, 통계적으로 유의하게 남성 집단이 여성 집단보다 결혼만족도가 높았다.
셋째, 자기방어적 양가성과 결혼만족도의 관계에서 정서조절방략의 매개효과를 확인하기 위해서 회귀분석을 한 결과, 인지적 정서조절방략인 부정적으로 생각하기와 타인 비난하기의 매개 효과가 확인되었으며, 행동적 정서조절
방략으로는 폭식하기 및 친밀한 사람 만나기의 매개효과가 확인되었고, 체험적 정서조절방략으로는 안전한 상황에서 부정적 감정 분출하기의 매개효과가 확인되었다.
마지막으로, 본 연구의 임상적 함의와 한계 및 후속연구에서의 제안을 논의하였다.

This research aims to identify the mediated effect of each of emotion strategies (i.e. emotion, behavioral and experimental) from the perspective on the correlation between ambivalence over emotional expressiveness and marital satisfaction. We adopted as subjects 296 married males and females. We conducted a survey with "Ambivalence over Emotional Expressiveness Questionnaire-K (AEQ-K)", "Emotion Regulation Strategy Questionnaire (ERSQ)" and "Marital Satisfaction Inventory (MSI)."
The results of this research are as follows.
First, this research conducted correlation analyses of ambivalence over emotional expressiveness, the three emotion strategies and marital satisfaction. Ambivalence over emotional expressiveness showed a significant negative correlation with marital satisfaction; in particular, self-defensive ambivalence, one of sub-categories of ambivalence over emotional expressiveness, established a significant negative correlation with marital satisfaction. For a cognitive emotion regulation strategy, 'thinking negatively' and 'condemning others' respectively had a negative correlation with marital satisfaction but 'thinking positively' showed a positive correlation with marital satisfaction. For a behavioral emotion regulation strategy, 'resolving a problem behavior', 'meeting someone close to one' and 'refreshing oneself' showed a positive correlation with marital satisfaction whereas 'eating immoderately' had a negative correlation with marital satisfaction. For a experimental emotion strategy, 'releasing a negative emotion (in safe situation)' showed a negative correlation with marital satisfaction.
Second, we conducted a t-test to identify a gender difference in the correlation of ambivalence over emotional expressiveness and marital satisfaction. As a result, statistically male groups showed a significantly greater marital satisfaction compared to female ones.
Third, we conducted a regression analysis to identify the mediated effect of the three emotion strategies from the perspective on the correlation between ambivalence over emotional expressiveness and marital satisfaction. For a cognitive emotion regulation strategy, the mediated effect of 'thinking negatively' and 'condemning others' was identified. For a behavioral emotion regulation strategy, the mediated effect of 'eating immoderately' and 'meeting someone close to one' was identified. For a experimental emotion strategy, the mediated effect of 'releasing a negative emotion in safe situation' was identified.
Finally, we discussed the clinical implication and limitation of the research and our future study.
