정신건강과 정신병리에 중요한 영향을 미치는 심리적 요인으로서 정서조절에 대한 관심이 최근에 급증하면서, 정서조절의 관점에서 정신병리를 설명하고자 하는 시도들이 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최근에 이루어진 연구를 중심으로 정서조절과 정신병리의 관계를 개관하고 앞으로의 연구 과제를 정리하였다. 먼저 정서조절에 대한 다양한 정의와 주요한 정서조절방략의 유형을 살펴보았다. 정서조절과 정신병리의 관련성을 논의하기 위해서 정서조절을 ‘개인이 불쾌한 정서를 감소시키기 위해서 동원하는 다양한 노력’이라고 정의하고, 정서조절방략을 인지적, 행동적, 생리적, 체험적 방략으로 구분할 것을 제안하였다. 아울러 개인이 사용하는 정서조절 방략의 부적응성 또는 결여의 관점에서 정신병리와의 관련성을 논의하였다. 마지막으로, 정서조절의 측면에서 다양한 정신병리의 발생과 유지 과정을 설명하고 심리치료기법을 개발하는 데에 필요한 앞으로의 연구 과제들을 제시하였다.
Emotion regulation has recently been considered as one of the important psychological factors to affect the mental health and psychopathology. The purpose of this article was to discuss the recent research trends on emotion regulation and it's relationship to psychopathology. First, various definitions on emotion regulation and the major classifications of emotion regulation strategies were examined. Defining emotion regulation as procedures used to decrease unpleasant emotions, we suggested that emotion regulation strategies would be divided into four categories, i.e., cognitive, behavioral, physiological and experiential strategies. Furthermore, the relationships between emotion regulation and psychopathology were discussed from the perspective of adaptability and efficiency of emotion regulation strategies. Finally, some future research tasks for developing psychotherapeutic techniques as well as explaining the development and maintenance of psychopathology in terms of emotion regulation were suggested.
