A·B 성격유형·자아정체감·스트레스 대처간의 관계 연구 = (A) study on the relationship among character type A & B ego-identity and stress coping

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to investigate into the relationship among character type A & B, ego-identity and stress coping styles and what influence the accumulative effect of character type and ego-identity has on the explanation power of stress coping styles.
For this purpose, I formed the theoretical background by analyzing and synthesizing the related literature and the preceeding studies, and on such basis I structured a research model. In addition, I set up hypotheses according to research questions, and I executed the Character Type Test, the Ego-identity Measurement Test, and the Stress Coping Styles Test with the randomly sampled 450 undergraduates in from the first to the fourth grade of Seoul city. The data were processed with SAS.
The results of this research are summarized as follows.
Hypothesis 1. The relationship between character type A and ego-identity will show higher development level than the relationship between character type B and ego-identity.
When I examined the difference between Pearson's correlation coefficients of two groups to verify the above hypothesis, type A showed a significantly higher correlation coefficient in moratorium and achievement level at the significance level of p<.05 and p<.001 each. Therefore, hypothesis 1 was affirmed.
Hypothesis 2. Character type A will show more significant influence on stress coping styles than character type B.
As the result of verifying the difference between Pearson's correlation coefficients of two groups, type A showed significantly higher correlation coefficient in problem-focus coping at the level of p<.01 and in social support pursuit at the level of p<.05 than type B, proving that the coping style of type A is more positive than that of type B. Therefore, hypothesis 2 was affirmed.
Hypothesis 3. Those who are positive in the stress coping style will show higher development level in ego-identity than those who are passive in the stress coping style.
The result of t-test for the 30% high position to verify the above hypothesis was that positively coping individuals showed significantly higher scores in achievement level, and passively coping individuals in diffusion level at the significance level of p<.001 each, partially affirming the hypothesis 3.
Hypothesis 4. The accumulative effect of character type and ego-identity will increase the explanation power of the stress coping style.
As the result of multiple regression to verify the above hypothesis, character type showed significant explanation power of 13.4% and 2.4% each in problem-focus coping and social support pursuit, but the explanation power of emotional coping and aesthetic thinking was not significant.
Ego-identity development level showed significant explanation power of 16.2%, 7.8% and 3.2% each for problem-focus coping, social support pursuit and emotional coping, but for aesthetic thinking the explanation power was not significant.
The accumulative effect of character type and ego-identity development level showed significant explanation power of 21.6%, 8.5% and 3.3% each for problem-focus coping, social support pursuit and emotional coping, but for aesthetic thinking the explanation power was not significant.
So, for the other methods except aesthetic thinking, the explanation power was increased.
In addition, the explanation power of character type, ego-identity development level, and both character type and ego-identity development level for the sum of stress coping styles appeared to be 5.2%, 7.6% and 10.0% each, also increasing the explanation power.
Therefore, the hypothesis 4 was affirmed in all the factors except aesthetic thinking.
