초록
본 연구는 성피해자의 수치심과 우울의 관계에 용서가 미치는 영향을 탐색하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 596명의 남녀 대학생을 대상으로 각 변인을 측정하는 질문지를 실시하였다. 성피해를 경험한 집단(120명)에서 수치심과 우울이 유의하게 높았고, 용서 정도도 낮게 보고하였다. 피해집단의 우울은 수치심과는 정적 상관, 전체용서와 자기용서, 상황용서와는 부적 상관이 있었고, 타인용서와는 상관이 없었다. 상관관계를 바탕으로 수치심과 우울의 관계에 대한 전체용서와 자기용서, 상황용서의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 그 결과, 전체용서와 자기용서, 상황용서 모두 수치심과 우울의 관계에서 부분매개효과가 있었으나, 타인용서는 이들 관계를 매개하지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 성피해자의 치료적 개입에 있어서의 용서 접근의 필요성과 더불어, 특히 자기용서와 상황용서가 중요할 수 있음을 시사한다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 의의와 한계점 및 추후 연구에 대하여 논의하였다.

Abstract
This study explored whether forgiveness have any effects on the relationship between shame and depression in survivors of sexual abuse. To examine this, 580 male and female college student-participants were asked to complete the questionnaires of sexual abuse, shame, depression and forgiveness. 120 participants who were sexually abused presented high of shame and depression and low of forgiveness. The depression of the sexually abused group was positively related to shame, and negatively related to overall forgiveness, the forgiveness of self and situations. However, the forgiveness of others was not correlated. Based on the correlations above, we tested mediating effects of overall forgiveness, the forgiveness of self and situations on the relationship between shame and depression. The results show that overall forgiveness and the forgiveness of self and situations had partial mediating effects, whereas the forgiveness of others, which correlation was insignificant, was not mediated. These findings suggests the necessity of a forgiveness approach by means of a therapeutic intervention for sexually abused survivors, especially suggesting that forgiveness of self and situation might be important. Finally, we discuss the implications and limitations of this study and suggest future directions for this research.
