본 연구에서는 우울에 대한 내부초점적 처리과정(반추, 반성, 경험)이 우울 기분, 역기능적 신념, 탈중심화에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 참여자는 51명의 대학생으로 반추집단 17명(남 5명, 여 12명), 반성집단 17명(남 6명, 여 11명), 경험집단 17명(남 6명, 여 11명)으로 무작위 할당하였다. 참여자에게 슬픈 음악을 들려주어 우울 기분을 유도하였고, 각 처리과정에 따라 우울 기분을 다루도록 하였다. 우울 기분, 역기능적 신념, 탈중심화는 우울기분을 유도하기 전, 후, 각 처리과정을 거친 후, 총 3번 반복 측정하였다. 그 결과, 반성적 처리과정과 경험적 처리과정이 반추적 처리과정에 비해 우울한 기분과 역기능적 신념을 유의하게 감소시켰다. 한편 탈중심화 수준은 경험적 집단이 반추집단보다 높았으나 경험집단과 반성집단 간의 차이는 없었다. 이러한 결과는 경험적 처리과정와 반성적 처리과정을 통해 탈중심화가 향상된다는 점에서 부정적 사고의 수정 뿐 아니라 알아차림을 통해서도 탈중심화가 증진되는 치료적 효과가 있음을 시사한다.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of internal focused processes on depressed mood, dysfunctional beliefs and decentering. A total of 51 collage students participated, and were randomly assigned to a rumination group(N=17; 5 males, 12 females), a reflective group(N=17; 6 males, 11 females), or a experiential group(N=17; 6 males, 11 females). After a moderately distressing mood induction through gloomy music, the mood was treated according to each self-focused processes. And then, the level of depressive mood, dysfunctional beliefs and decentering were measured three times. The results indicated that first, the subjects of reflective and experiential groups reported better moods than those in ruminative group. Second, the reflective and experiential groups significantly reduced the level of dysfucntional beliefs, whereas the ruminative group did not have the effect on dysfunctional beliefs. Third, the level of decentering in experiential group was higher than ruminative group. But, the reflective group did not differ with experiential group. This result suggest that decentering is increased in the experiential as well as the reflective group and is a important factor for treating depression in MBCT and cognitive therapy.
