한국인 범법자들을 대상으로 한Buss- Perry 공격성 검사지에 대한 요인구조 분석 = Factor Structure of the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire for a Korean Offender Population

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The unexpected increase of violent crimes in Korea urges people to look for more dynamic explanations of criminal behavior other than sociological eugenics such as a struggle between social classes or assimilation to deviant social environment. In this study, criminal behavior is treated as personal matter according to the tradition of psychological theories of crime rather than sociological phenomenon. Furthermore, aggression is supposed to be one of the most basic dispositional characteristics of violent acts. Therefore, this study explored the relationship between aggression measured by BPAQ and criminality evaluated based on seriousness of criminal offenses. On the other hand, the cross-validity of BPAQ was also investigated since prevalence and expressive forms of violence is known to vary across cultures and even within a society. The variance analyses and causal modeling presented that BPAQ had satisfactory level of cross-validity and dispositional aggression measured by BPAQ might have causal effect on criminality of Korean offenders. Additionally, a theoretical internal structure of BPAQ had been confirmed to be reasonable by confirmatory factor analyses.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

최근 국내에서는 폭력사건이 크게 증가함에 따라, 범죄행위를 계층간의 갈등이나 비행환경으로 인한 영향으로 해석하려는 사회학적인 원인론보다 범죄자 개인의 역동적인 심리로서 해명하고자 하는 추세가 현저하게 증가하고 있다. 이 같은 추세를 반영하여 본 연구에서는 범죄행위를 사회적인 현상으로보다는 개인적인 문제로 간주하고 심리학적인 이론을 범죄행위에 적용하여 보고자 시도하였다. 공격성을 폭력행위의 기본적인 심리성향으로 간주하고, 공격성을 측정하는 도구로 알려진 BPAQ로 측정된 공격성향과 폭력적인 범죄력간의 관련성을 탐색하였다. 한편 BPAQ의 교차문화 타당도 역시 확인하였는데, 이는 하위문화나 사회계층에 따라 공격행동의 표현양태나 경험방식이 다를 수 있다는 이론적 가설을 확인하기 위해서였다. 변량분석과 인과모형분석 결과, 한국판 BPAQ 단축형은 상당히 만족할만한 수준의 교차문화 타당도를 지녔으며, 국내 범법자들의 폭력행위에 대한 설명력도 적절한 수준인 것으로 확인되었다. 부가적으로 BPAQ의 하위요인들에 대한 내적 구조를 확인적 요인 분석하였다.
