본 연구의 목적은 지속적인 문제음주 패턴을 보이는 대학생의 심리적인 특성을 질적 연구 방법을 통해 살펴보는 것이다. 이를 위해 과거 문제음주 양상을 보였던 참여자들 가운데 현재는 문제음주 양상을 보이지 않는 집단과 현재까지 문제음주 양상이 지속되는 집단으로 나누었고, 문제음주의 지속 및 변화 과정과 관련 있는 변인들을 생생하게 이해하고자 심층면담을 실시하였다. 총 9명의 참여자들이 회고적으로 보고한 자료를 근거이론에 따라 분석한 결과, 문제음주 지속집단에서 자기표현의 어려움이라는 성격 특성이 도출되었다. 이들은 술을 매개로 더 진솔한 대화를 시도하고 감정적 정화를 경험하는 경향이 있었고, 술을 통해 수줍음이나 불안 같은 부정적인 감정에 대처하였다. 이 밖에 음주행동이 친구의 영향을 많이 받지만, 이는 자신과 유사한 음주태도를 갖고 있는 사람을 친구로 선택하는 선택 효과를 포함하고 있었다. 마지막으로, 두 집단 모두 음주후 부정적 결과를 경험했지만 문제음주 지속집단은 이를 긍정적으로 평가하는 경향이 있었다.
The present study focused on the psychological characteristics of college students who had persistent drinking problems through a qualitative method. We recruited nine participants who had a problem drinking history and divided them into two groups: persistent versus developmentally limited problem drinking group according to their current drinking status. Through intensive interviews, we attempted to delineate and clearly understand the variables involved in changes and the continuation process of problem drinking. As a result of qualitative analyses based on grounded theory, difficulties in self-expression were found in the persistent problem drinking group. This group showed a tendency to attempt more honest conversation level by consuming alcohol and experienced release of negative emotions: participants from this group also drank when trying to cope with negative emotions such as shyness and anxiety. Although drinking patterns were greatly influenced by friends, we found that participants were not passively influenced by them but actively choose friends who have similar drinking patterns to theirs. Finally, both groups equally experienced alcohol-related negative consequences; however, the persistent problem drinking group evaluated these consequences as positive.
