본 연구의 목적은 정서인식과 인지적 정서조절이 정신건강에 미치는 영향을 확인하는데 있다. 이에 선행 연구의 결과를 토대로 정서인식의 명확성이 정신건강에 영향을 주는 직접효과와 인지적 정서조절을 통해 정신건강에 영향을 주는 간접효과를 모두 포함하는 부분매개 모형을 설정하여 타당성을 검증하였다. 대학생 383명(남 180, 여 203)을 대상으로 정서인식의 명확성, 정서조절에 대한 기대, 인지적 정서조절, 불안, 우울, 신체 증상, 주관적 안녕감을 측정하는 질문지를 실시하였고, 구조방정식 모형 검증(AMOS)을 하였다. 주장 모형인 부분매개 모형 그리고 대안 모형인 완전매개 모형과 단순가산효과 모형을 비교 분석한 결과, 주장 모형인 부분매개 모형이 모든 경로계수가 통계적으로 유의했으며, 만족스러운 수준의 부합치를 보여 변인 간의 관계를 가장 잘 설명하는 타당한 모형으로 입증되었다. 이러한 모형 검증은 선행연구에서 제시되고 있는 정서인식과 정서조절 그리고 정신건강간의 단편적인 관계에 대한 포괄적이면서도 간명한 인과적 설명을 제시하며, 실제 생활 장면에서 작용하는 기제를 설명해준다. 따라서 이러한 결과는 정서와 정신건강간의 관계를 이해하는 틀을 마련해줄 뿐 아니라, 개인이 적응적인 정서조절을 사용함으로써 건강하고 만족된 삶을 누릴 수 있도록 도울 수 있도록 하는 정신건강을 위한 예방과 개입에 함의를 가진다.
This study examined the influence of emotion awareness and cognitive emotion regulation to mental health through structural equation modeling. A sample of 383 undergraduate students(180 men, and 203 women) completed Emotional Clarity subscale of Tait Meta-Mood Scale, Negative Mood Regulation Scale, Cognitive Emotional Regulation Questionnaire, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, Somatization subscale of Symptom Checklist-90-R, and Index of Subjective Well-being Scale. The structural equation modeling with AMOS was employed for analysis. In the hypothesis model, it was assumed that emotional clarity would be mediated with mental health by cognitive emotion regulation as well as that emotional clarity would effect on mental health. Partial mediation model was compared with liner mediation model and simple additive model. The partial mediation model was adopted because of its high goodness of fit and high explanatory power. In this model, the mediating effect of cognitive emotion regulation was found in the relation, so that the hypothesis was supported. That is, this model showed that there was not only the direct effect of emotional clarity on mental health but also the indirect effect of cognitive emotional regulation on the relation between emotional clarity and mental health. These results suggest framework that understands potential mechanisms in the relation between emotion and mental health. Moreover, these findings can be applied to therapy for a useful prevention and intervention.
