긍정적 평가를 받은 후 경험하는 심리적 과정을 이해하는 것이 사회불안 연구에서 중요한 변수로 최근 부상하고 있으나, 긍정 평가에 대한 부정적인 반응과 관련된 인지적 측면에 관해서는 선행연구가 제한적이다. 본 연구에서는 개별적으로 연구되어 온 세 가지 인지적 측면을 긍정적 평가에 대한 부정적 해석’이라는 통합적인 틀의 연구주제로 보고, 사회불안과의 관계를 살펴보았다. 대학생 190명을 대상으로 긍정적 평가에 대한 부정적 해석의 세 측면(높아진 기대를 충족시키지 못할 것이라는 해석, 상대방이 호의적으로 평가한 것이라는 해석, 상대방의 진정성을 의심하는 해석)이 사회불안에 특정적인 변인인지 확인하였다. 그 결과, 긍정적 평가에 대한 부정적 해석 중 두 측면(높아진 기대를 충족시키지 못할 것이라는 해석, 상대방이 호의적으로 평가한 것이라는 해석)이 사회불안을 유의미하게 설명하였고, 부정적 평가에 대한 두려움과 우울의 영향을 통제한 후에는 상대방이 호의적으로 평가한 것이라고 해석하는 측면이 유의미하게 사회불안을 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 추가로, 상대방이 호의적으로 평가한 것이라는 해석이 자기 표상과 사회불안 간의 관계를 매개하는지를 검증한 결과, 부분 매개효과를 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 이론적 및 임상적 함의, 후속 연구를 위한 제언을 논의하였다.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between negative interpretation of positive evaluation and social anxiety. The negative interpretation of positive evaluation was conceptualized as containing three aspects based on recent literatures: the interpretation that one cannot meet heightened expectations, the interpretation that others favorably evaluated oneself, and the interpretation of doubting the authenticity of the positive evaluation. The relationship between negative interpretation of positive evaluation and social anxiety was examined in a sample of 190 college students. As a result, two aspects of negative interpretation of positive evaluation (the interpretation that one cannot meet heightened expectations and that others favorably evaluated oneself) significantly predicted the severity of social anxiety. When the effects of the fear of negative evaluation and depression were controlled, the interpretation that others favorably evaluated oneself significantly contributed to social anxiety. In addition, the mediating effect of the interpretation that others favorably evaluated oneself was observed in the relationship between the self-presentation sociability factor and social anxiety. The limitations and implications of this study and suggestions for future studies were discussed.
