본 연구의 목적은 행동 활성화 체계(BAS)와 행동 억제 체계(BIS) 민감성의 차이가 폭식과 알코올 남용 및 두 문제의 공병에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이었다. 이를 위해 서울 모 대학의 심리학 관련 과목을 수강하는 207명의 여자 대학생을 대상으로, 개인의 BAS/BIS 민감도와 폭식 행동(EDI-2), 문제 음주 행동(AUDIT), 삶의 만족도(SWLS)를 측정하는 설문을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 알코올 문제는 BAS와만 유의미한 상관이 있었으며, 반면 폭식 행동은 BAS/BIS 모두와 유의미한 상관이 있었다. 각각의 문제 행동 점수에 따라 전체를 폭식, 문제 음주, 공병, 정상 집단의 4개의 집단으로 분류하여 BAS/BIS 및 문제 행동의 심각도, 삶의 만족도를 비교한 결과, 공병 집단이 문제 집단 중 가장 높은 BAS 점수를 보였으며, 폭식 집단보다 다소 낮긴 하지만 비슷한 수준의 BIS 활성화 수준을 보였다. 또한 공병 집단은 한 가지 문제만 보이는 집단에 비해 더 심한 문제 행동 수준과 가장 낮은 삶의 만족도를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 폭식과 문제 음주 행동을 동시에 보이는 집단이 보상과 처벌 단서 모두에 대해 높은 민감성을 가짐을 시사해 준다. 연구 결과들을 종합하여 논의에서 이와 같은 성격 특징을 가진 개인이 왜 중독이나 충동 조절 문제에 있어 더욱 취약하게 되는 지에 대해 언급하였고, 이 결과의 시사점과 연구의 제한점과 후속 연구에 대한 제안에 대해 논의하였다.
The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of individual difference in sensitivity of behavioral activation system(BAS)/behavioral inhibition system(BIS) on college women’s bulimic behavior, problematic alcohol use and their comorbidity. For this study, the BIS/BAS scale, the Bulimic behavior scale from EDI-2, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test(AUDIT) and Satisfaction with Life Scale(SWLS) were administered to 207 college women. According to the results, problematic alcohol use had positive correlation with BAS score and bulimic behavior had positive correlation with both BAS and BIS score. The participants were grouped into four different problematic behavior group(bulimic, problematic alcohol use, comorbid, control) and the comorbid group showed the highest level of BAS score, same level of BIS score with bulimic group and the lowest level of adaptation. These findings suggest that women who have bulimic problem and problematic drinking issue simultaneously are sensitive to both reward and punishment and this feature may have influence on being more vulnerable to impulsive and addictive behavior. Implications and limitations of this study were discussed and directions of future research were suggested.
