본 연구에서는 데이트폭력 피해자가 폭력적인 데이트관계를 지속하는데 있어 투자모델에 이타적 망상이라는 변인을 추가하여 모델의 타당성을 살펴보았다. 투자모델은 개인이 파트너와의 관계에서 느끼는 만족도, 대안 여부, 투자 정도를 고려하여 자신의 헌신 정도를 조절하고 그것에 따라 관계지속여부를 결정한다는 이론이다. 이 모델은 결혼여부와 상관없이 어떤 친밀한 관계에도 적용된다는 장점이 있다. 이타적 망상 변인은 본 연구에서 새롭게 구성한 개념으로 데이트 폭력 피해자들이 파트너의 폭력적인 성향을 자신이 바꿀 수 있다고 생각하는 비현실적인 믿음을 말한다. 서울, 경기지역을 중심으로 데이트폭력을 경험한 20대 여성 227명으로부터 설문지를 수거하여 연구자가 설정한 절단점을 기준으로 110명을 데이트폭력 피해자로 상정하였다. 분석결과, 투자모델을 한국의 20대 여성의 데이트 관계에 적용하였을 때 타당한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 기존의 투자모델과 이타적망상을 추가한 새로운 투자모델을 구조방정식 모델검증을 통해 비교한 결과 새로운 투자모델의 설명력이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 새로운 투자모델이 관계지속여부에 영향을 미치는데 있어 그 예측력이 매우 높게 나타났다. 추후 연구에서는 교제기간을 통제하고, 동성애 커플이나 기혼커플, 남자피해자, 대학생이나 직장인뿐만 아니라 사회경제적인 수준이 다른 참여자를 대상으로 투자모델을 적용하여 타당성을 알아볼 필요가 있다.
This study is to examine the validity of the investment model accompanied by the altruistic delusion variable when dating violence victims maintain their violent relationships. The investment model states that dating violence victims consider their satisfaction level, quality of alternatives, and investment level to determine their commitment level in their relationship. And those variables contribute to the maintenance of their relationship. The altruistic variable is dating violence victims' belief that they can change their partners' violent behaviors by themselves. South Korean women who were in their 20s (N=227) provided self-reported data, and 110 people were endorsed as dating violence victims according to the researcher's standard. The investment model turned out to be effective when applied to South Korea's victims of dating violence who were maintaining their relationships. Also, the new investment model which is composed of the past investment model and altruistic delusion variable had a better prediction to explain the reasons victims' did not leave their violent relationships. In the following studies, the investment model should be applied to homosexuals, married couples, male victims, and other participants who have a different social economic status to generalize the investment model's validity.
