자기초점적 주의 성향과 정신병리의 관계: 적응적 대 부적응적 자기초점적 주의 = The Relationship Between Dispositional Self-Focused Attention and Psychopathology: Adaptive and Maladaptive Self-Focused Attention

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Self-focused attention has been considered to contribute to both psychopathology and psychotherapy. Thus Lee and Kwon (2005) developed the Scale for Dispositional Self-focused Attention in Social situation (SDSAS) in order to differentiate two types of dispositional self-focused attention in social situation, with postulating the existence of two types of dispositional self-focused attention, defensive self-focused attention and nondefensive self-focused attention. This study aimed to investigate if two types of dispositional self-focused attention distinguished by SDSAS can be differentiated on psychopathology measures. For this purpose, SDSAS and the Symptom Checklist-Revised (SCL-90-R) were measured among undergraduate students. First, correlation analysis between SDSAS and SCL-90-R showed that there was no significant correlation between general dispositional self-focused attention scale and psychopathology scores, whereas self-absorption scale was positively correlated with psychopathology scores. Second, defensive/nondefensive self-focused attention group and low self-focused attention group were selected by SDSAS and participants' levels of psychopathology were compared. Results revealed that defensive self-focused attention group showed significantly higher scores on psychopathology measures than nondefensive self-focused attention group and low self-focused attention group. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in psychopathology scores between nondefensive self-focused attention group and low self-focused attention group. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

자기초점적 주의는 정신병리 영역에서는 우울 및 불안을 유발 및 악화시키는 요인으로, 심리치료 영역에서는 심리적 적응과 건강에 기여하는 요인으로 간주되어져 왔다. 이에 이지영과 권석만(2005)은 질적으로 다른 두 가지 자기초점적 주의 성향의 존재를 가정하고 이를 구분해낼 수 있는 자기초점적 주의 성향 척도(SDSAS)를 개발하였다. 본 연구는 SDSAS의 두 가지 자기초점적 주의 성향이 정신병리 및 정신건강 측정치 상에서 타당하게 구분되는지 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 대학생 집단을 대상으로 SDSAS와 간이정신진단검사(SCL-90-R)를 실시하였다. 먼저, SDSAS의 두 하위척도와 SCL-90-R의 상관분석을 실시한 결과, 일반적 자기초점적 주의 성향 척도는 정신병리와 유의미한 상관을 보이지 않은 반면, 자기몰입 척도는 높은 정적 상관을 나타냈다. SDSAS의 두 하위척도 점수에 근거해 방어적/비방어적 자기초점적 주의 성향 집단을 선발하고, 자기초점적 주의 성향이 낮은 집단을 비교집단에 포함시켰다. 종속측정치 상에서의 세 집단 간의 차이를 조사한 결과, 방어적 자기초점적 주의 성향은 비방어적 자기초점적 주의 성향 집단과 자기초점적 주의 성향이 낮은 집단에 비해 정신병리 수준이 유의미하게 높았다. 비방어적 자기초점적 주의 성향 집단과 자기초점적 주의 성향이 낮은 집단은 정신병리 수준에서 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 끝으로 본 연구의 의의와 앞으로의 연구 방향에 대해 논의하였다.
