개인의 집합주의 성향과 집합주의 사고 억제 효과 = Individual Levels of Collectivism and Reactions to Suppression of Collectivistic Symbols

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The present study examined whether reactions to suppression of a collectivistic symbol varies across individuals with different chronic levels of collectivism. Participants in the suppression condition were instructed to actively avoid thinking about the Korean national flag. The cognition pattern of individuals with a strong collectivistic identity became less collectivistic in reaction to the flag suppression instruction. In contrast, those with a relatively weak collectivistic self-view showed accentuated collectivistic tendencies in the suppression condition. The desire to maintain an optimal level of separateness and belongingness (Brewer, 1991) seems to evoke different reactions between high/low collectivistic individuals to suppressions of cultural symbols.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

개인의 집합주의 성향에 따라 집합주의적 특징의 억제효과가 다르게 나타나는지 알아보았다. 참가자들의 집합주의 성향을 측정하고 집합주의적 사고를 억제하도록 한 뒤 인지, 행동적 반응을 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 집합주의 성향과 집합주의적 사고 억제의 유의미한 상호작용이 나타났다. 집합주의 성향이 높은 경우 사고억제 조건에서 집합주의적 특징이 감소한 반면, 집합주의 성향이 낮은 경우 사고억제 조건에서 집합주의적 특징이 유지되거나 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이와 같은 현상은 개인 수준에서 일시적으로 느끼는 집합주의/개인주의적 요소의 결핍감을 보상하려는 동기로 이해할 수 있다.
