본 연구는 몰입감(flow) 수준이 학기말 시험에서 대학생의 정신건강에 어떤 효과를 갖는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 몰입감을 상태와 특성으로 구분하여 ‘상태-몰입감’은 학기 중 4회에 걸쳐 측정되었고 ‘특성-몰입감’은 학기 초에 1회 측정되었다. 또 정신건강 수준은 학기말 시험 직후 SCL-90-R을 통해 측정되었다. ‘상태-몰입감’의 평균 수준 및 학기 초의 ‘특성-몰입감’ 수준은 시험 스트레스 상황에서 정신건강의 수준을 예측해 줄 것이라는 연구 가설은 전체적으로 지지되었다. 연구 결과, 첫째, ‘상태-몰입감’과 ‘특성-몰입감’은 유의미한 상관을 보였다. 둘째, 4회의 ‘상태-몰입감’ 측정치들의 평균치 및 학기 초의 ‘특성-몰입감’은 정신건강의 지표들과 유의미한 상관을 보였다. 셋째, 시험 당일의 ‘상태불안’을 통제한 후에도 ‘특성-몰입감’은 정신건강의 수준과 유의미한 상관을 보였다. 넷째, ‘특성불안’의 수준을 통제한 후에도 ‘특성-몰입감’은 정신건강의 수준과 유의미한 상관을 보였다. 논의에서는 스트레스 상황을 견디는 데 있어서 몰입감 경험의 유용성 및 상담에의 시사점이 언급되었다.
This Study was designed to investigate the experience of Czickzentmihalyi's flow and mental health of the university students at the final examination situation. As regards to flow experience, 'flow-trait' and 'flow-state' were measured after the division of State/Trait Anxiety, once at the beginning of the semester and four times during the semester respectively. The level of mental health was assessed through SCL-90-R. The hypothesis was globally supported that the average level of 'flow-states' during the semester or of 'flow-trait' at the semester beginning predict the mental health of the students at the final examination situation. As results significant correlations were found; first, between 'flow-state' and 'flow-trait', second, between the mean of 'flow-state' measures / 'flow-trait' at the semester beginning and mental health, third, between 'flow-trait' at the semester beginning and mental health with 'flow-state' controlled, fourth, between 'flow-trait' at the semester beginning and mental health with 'flow-trait' controlled. The implications of the flow experience for the stress coping and counselling were discussed
