'대인 신뢰'와 '친구간 신뢰'의 예언 변인에 대한 탐색 연구 = The Exploratory study on Predictive Variables of 'Interpersonal trust' and 'Trust in friend'

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, an attempt was made to examine 1) the predictive variables of 'interpersonal trust' and 'trust in friend' among socio-demographic variables and psychological variables, 2) the reliability and validity of the 'Interpersonal Trust Scale' and the 'Trust in Friend Scale' used in this study, and 3) the factor structure of the 'interpersonal trust' and 'trust in friend'. And the short forms of scales were found as by-products.
The results of this study were as follows: 1) 'anger/dissatisfaction' was found to be a main predictive variable of 'interpersonal trust', and 'sex', 'perceived parents' nurture attitude', 'self-expression' were found to be significantly predictive variables of 'trust in friend'. 2) Restandardized 'Interpersonal trust scale'(Lee and Choi,1990) and 'Trust in friend scale'(Lee and Choi, 1991) proved to be significantly reliable and valid. And 3)through a series of the factor analysis (principle component analysis and varimax rotation method were used) of 'Interpersonal Trust Scale' and 'Trust in Friend Scale', short forms of interpersonal trust scale and trust in friend scale were found, each composed of 13 items and 17 items, respectively.
The result of factor analysis of 13 items in Interpersonal trust scale revealed that three factors: (1) the first factor concerning justice/fairness, (2) the second factor concerning general trust of society, and (3) the third factor concerning everyman's honesty. The factor structure of 17 items in Trust-in Friend scale showed that three factors: (1) the first factor concerning trust of friend's assistance and support, (2)the second factor concerning trust of friend's promise and word, and (3) the third factor concerning friend's sincerity.
These scales proved to be reliable and valid by factor analysis. For the interpersonal trust, comparison of the accounting for the variance provided in three factors together of 13 items and four factors together of 19 items in 'Interpersonal Trust Scale'(Lee and Choi, 1990) shows that 13 items of scale is valid. 54 percent of the total variance was represented by the three factors together of 13 items, and 50 percent of the total variance was represented by four factors together of 19 items in 'Interpersonal Trust Scale'(Lee and Choi, 1990). And in reliability coefficient, 19 items in Interpersonal Trust Scale was (a)=.85, 13 items in Interpersonal trust scale was .83. For the trust in friend, comparison of the accounting for the variance provided in three factors together of 17 items and three factors together of 24 items in trust in friend scale shows that 17 items of scale is valid. 55 percent of the total variance was represented by three factors together of 17 items, and 50 percent of the total variance was represented by three factors together of 24 items. And in reliability coefficient, 24 items in trust in friend scale was (a)=.92, and 17 items of scale was .89. Then, I suggest that 19 items in Interpersonal trust scale and 24 items in trust in friend scale are replaced by 13 items of scale and 17 items of scale respectively, for the efficiency of test implementation. Finally, implications of the present study and suggestions of the future research were discussed.
