초록
자기 가치 확인은 위협 상황에서 스트레스를 줄이며, 방어적 반응을 억제하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 자기 가치 확인이 사회적 위협상황에서도 동일한 효과를 가져 특질불안이 사회적 수행 지각에 미치는 영향을 조절하는지 검증하고자 하였다. 80명의 대학생을 모집하여 특질불안을 측정하고 이 중 절반에게는 자기 가치 확인의 글쓰기, 나머지 절반에게는 가치 일반에 대한 글쓰기를 시켰다. 이후 참가자는 제시된 발표주제 중 하나를 선택하여 3분 발표를 수행하였고 이것이 촬영되었다. 발표 후 참가자는 자신의 발표수행을 자기보고식으로 평가하였고 2인의 평정자는 녹화된 영상을 통해 참가자의 발표수행을 평가하였다. 평가에는 수행에 대한 세부 평가와 전반적 평가가 포함되었으며, 주관적 평가와 객관적 평가의 차이를 산출하여 수행평가의 부정적 편향 정도를 측정하였다. 분석 결과, 특질불안이 주관적 수행평가와 부정적 평가편향에 미치는 영향에 자기 가치 확인의 조절효과가 확인되었다. 즉 자기 가치 확인을 한 경우에는 특질불안이 높더라도 자신의 수행에 대한 평정이 덜 저하되었고, 자신의 수행에 대한 부정적 평가편향이 나타나지 않았다. 이는 자기 가치 확인이 사회적 수행의 주관적 지각에 긍정적인 역할을 한다는 점을 시사한다. 끝으로 본 연구의 시사점과 제한점에 대해 논의하였다.

Abstract
Self-affirmation buffers distress and defensive responses in various threatening situations. The objective of this study was to examine whether or not self-affirmation would have the same effect on the relationship between trait anxiety and social performance perception in a social threatening situation. Eighty college students completed a trait anxiety scale and participated in the experiment. In the experiment, half of the participants were asked to write about self-affirmation, and the others wrote about a general value. They were then requested to make a 3 minute presentation, which was recorded. After the presentation, each participant evaluated his/her own performance and other two raters assessed it independently. The assessment included the detailed ratings of performance and the evaluation of overall impression. A negative bias score was calculated by subtracting the subjective assessment score from the objective score. Results revealed that self-affirmation have a moderating effect on the relationship between the trait anxiety and subjective evaluation, as well as the trait anxiety and evaluation bias. This therefore suggests that self-affirmation does have positive effect on social performance on subjective perception. Finally, the implications and limitations of the study and suggestion were discussed.
