기본신뢰, 대인신뢰, 구체적 대상인물에 대한 신뢰간의 관계 = A Study of the Relationships among the Basic Trust, Interpersonal Trust, and Trust in the Best Friend

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this article, the nature of relationships among the three kinds of Trust was explored. The three kinds of Trust were (1) 'Trust in Parents' as an indirect measure of Basic Trust(Erikson, 1950;1963), (2) Interpersonal Trust, and (3) 'Trust in the Best Friend.' Participants were 1010 Freshmen in Pusan National University(Male, 545;Female, 465). The correlation between 'Trust in Parents' and 'Trust in the Best Friend' was r=.29**, and the correlation between 'Trust in Parents' and 'Interpersonal Trust ' was r=.11**. But the correlation between 'Trust in the Best Friend' and 'Interpersonal Trust' was none(r=.05). One of the three sub-factors of 'Interpersonal Trust' was negatively correlated with 'Trust in the Best Friend,' among the both of male and female data, and one of the sub-factors of 'Intrpersonal Trust' was positively correlated with 'Trust in the Best Friend' among the female data. These might be the reason why the correlation between 'Trust in the Best Friend' and 'Interpersonal Trust' was none.
'Trust in Parents' was correlated with many psychological variables such as Anxiety, Depression, Loneliness, Stress negatively. And it was correlated with Self-Expression, and numbers of Friends psitively. 'Trust in Parents' was highly correlated with perceived "Parents' nurturing attitudes." Sepcifically, 'Trust in Parents' was more correlated with the refusal-warm dimension of nurturing attitudes than authoritative-democratic dimension of nurturing attitudes(r=.50**, r=.29**,respectively).
Factor Analysis with SPSS Windows(Version 9.0)- Principal Component Analysis(Extraction method), Varimax with Kaiser Normalization(Rotation method) indicated that 'Interpersonal Trust' has three factors such as, (1) General Trust, (2) Trust in Political/Higher Officers Society, and (3) Trust in Students/Laymen. Also, it indicated that 'Trust in the Best Friend' has three factors such as , (1) Trustworthiness, (2) Reliance, and (3) Sincerity or Non-Cynicism. Omitting the items which were suspected as eliciting the random responses and /or inducing misinterpretations, the second and the third Factor Analysis could increase the percentage of cumulative variance. Furthermore, the third Factor Analysis with omitting irrelevant items could make the factor structure of total data, male data, and female data relatively equal.
