본 연구에서는 정동강도와 신경증적 경향성이 스트레스경험에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 즉 정동강도와 신경증적 경향성에 따른 스트레스역치수준, 스트레스감내력, 그리고 스트레스에 대한 주관적 불쾌감의 정도를 알아보고, 아울러 정동강도와 신경증적 경향성은 유의미한 상관이 있다는 선행연구 결과를 바탕으로 스트레스경험에 영향을 미치는 정동강도와 신경증적 경향성의 상대적 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 경기도에 소재한 대학교에 재학 중인 72명의 학생들이 실험에 참석하였다. 나타난 결과를 볼 때 스트레스역치와 감내력에서는 정동강도와 신경증적 경향성이 각각 유의미한 주효과를 보였으나, 상호작용의 효과는 발견되지 않았다. 스트레스불쾌감에서는 신경증적 경향성만이 유의미한 주효과가 있었고, 정동강도의 주효과 및 두 변인간의 상호작용 효과는 나타나지 않았다. 스트레스경험에 영향을 미치는 개인차변인이 시사되었고, 본 연구의 제안점이 논의되었다.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of affect intensity and neuroticism on stress experiences. Affect Intensity Measure(AIM), Emotional Intensity Scale(EIS), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire(EPQ), Thermal Pressure Stress, and Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) were administrated 72 college students. The results showed that significant main effects of affect intensity and neuroticism influenced on stress threshold and stress tolerance, but not interaction. With regard to stress displeasure report, only neuroticism showed the main effect but meaningful effect of affect intensity and their interaction were not found. Clinical implication of these results and limitations of this study were discussed and were also considered suggestions for further studies.
