초록

본 연구는 마음챙김과 자비심이 대인관계에 미치는 영향을 검토하고, 그 영향 관계에서 정서조절과 사회적 연결감의 매개 역할을 검증하였다. 대학생 382명을 대상으로 설문조사하여 구조방정식 모형 검증을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 마음챙김은 대인관계에 직접적인 영향을 주기도 하지만 정서조절과 사회적 연결감을 통해 간접적으로도 기여를 하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 마음챙김이 대인관계를 직접적으로 향상시키기도 하지만 정서조절 능력을 증가시키거나 혹은 사회적 연결감을 증가시켜 대인관계 향상으로 이어질 수 있음을 보여주었다. 그런가 하면, 자비심은 대인관계에 직접적인 영향을 주기보다 사회적 연결감을 통해 간접적으로 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 자비심이 사회적 세계에 대한 개인의 관점을 긍정적으로 변화시켜 대인관계에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있음을 시사한다. 끝으로 본 연구의 의의와 제한점, 그리고 대인관계 증진을 위한 시사점과 후속 연구 방향에 대해 논의하였다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the impacts of mindfulness and compassion on interpersonal relationships, and mediating roles of emotion regulation and social connectedness. Structural equation modeling involving 382 undergraduate students was conducted. Findings suggest that mindfulness contributed to interpersonal relationships directly as well as indirectly via its impacts on emotion regulation and social connectedness. That is, mindfulness was shown to directly improve interpersonal relationships, but it was also shown to increase emotion regulation capacity and social connectedness, which enhanced interpersonal relationships. As for compassion, the results support a full mediation by social connectedness, indicating that compassion alters a person’s perspective on the social world for the better, positively affecting interpersonal relationships. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study, and suggestions for future research are discussed.
