온라인 사회연결망자본이 지위열망에 미치는 영향-오프라인 사회연결망자본과의 비교를 중심으로

국문 초록 (Abstract)

이 연구는 지위열망 형성에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 구조적으로 설명하고자 사회적 자본이론을 도입하여 지위열망 형성의 주요인으로 지적되어 온 물리적 자본, 인적 자본과 사회연결망자본의 관계를 살펴보고 오프라인 사회연결망자본과 온라인 사회연결망자본이 지위열망과 어떠한 관계를 지니는지를 고찰하였다. 연구결과 온라인 커뮤니티를 통해 형성,유지되는 온라인 사회연결망자본이 지위열망에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 온라인 커뮤니티에서 지인들로부터 유용한 정보를 얻음은 물론이고 정서적 지원까지 제공받을 수 있으므로 풍부한 오프라인 사회연결망자본을 보유하고 있지 못한 대학생이라 할지라도 온라인 커뮤니티 활동을 통해 풍부한 사회적 관계들을 형성해 나갈 경우 지위열망을 높일 수 있음이 밝혀졌다.

At first, this study aimed at finding out some important factors that exert influences on 'status aspiration'. Second, the relationships among physical capital, human capital, and 'social network capital' were analyzed. Third, the functions and characteristics of 'online social network capital' were compared with those of 'offline social network capital'. Finally, I examined whether 'online social network capital' affects 'status aspiration'.<br/>
Even though 'status aspiration' is a personal and psychological variable, it turned out to be formed by structural factors. Researchers in the 1960s and 1970s insisted that parents' income or education level directly determines their children's status aspiration. However,<br/>
many counter-evidence have been found. That IS, adolescents from<br/>
low socio-economic status (SES) family have shown a high level of status aspiration. These unexpected phenomena come from the fact that the social relations with others or 'social capital' playa mediating<br/>
role in determining status aspiration. Based on these findings, researchers proposed a two-step model of status aspiration formation:<br/>
SES affects an individual's social relations with others, and then, the social relations determines the level of status aspiration.<br/>
However, the previous studies concerning status aspiration have two flaws. First of all, they limited 'social relations with others' to 'strong bonds with significant others'. Thus, they failed to properly take into consideration all the social relations that are meaningful in an individual's socialization process. More importantly, they com-mitted 'psychological reductionism'. That is, they were seriously flawed by identifying 'social capital' with significant others' psycho-logical states including care, aspiration, or ambition. In order to correct these errors, this study was designed to encompass a11 the people included in an individual's social network. Moreover, the theory of social capital was adopted for the purpose of avoiding psychological reductionism.<br/>
Since the introduction of the Internet, a lot of information and emotional support have been exchanged not only in offline but also in online communities. As online community activities increase tre-mendously, online social network capital becomes more important along with physical and human capital. Thus, this study also tested whether online social network capital has a positive influence on 'status aspiration' by surveying 512 college students.<br/>
The results showed that the online social network capital formed or maintained in online communities exhibited a positive correlation with the level of status aspiration. These results can be explained by the fact that the members of online communities frequently exchange emotional support as we11 as informational one. Even the adolescents lacking in offline social network capital could achieve abundant alternative or complimentary social network capital through online community activities.<br/>
These findings let us expect that the Internet can become a liberating medium in this era, when knowledge or information plays a pivotal role in acquiring and maintaining social power.
