본 연구에서는 남성들이 상담과 같은 전문적 도움을 구하는 것에 소극적인 이유를 규명하기 위해 서울지역 4년제 7개 대학에 재학 중인 385명의 남학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 구조방정식 모형을 이용하여 성역할갈등과 상담 의도 간 관계에서 세 변수들(사회적 낙인, 자기 낙인, 상담에 대한 태도)의 매개효과를 검정하였는데, 성역할갈등이 상담 의도에 미치는 영향을 세 변수들이 부분매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 성역할갈등이 심할수록 상담에 대한 의도가 높았지만, 성역할갈등이 높을수록 사회적 낙인과 자기 낙인이 높았고, 이러한 사회적 낙인과 자기 낙인은 상담에 대한 태도와 의도에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 상담 경험 유무에 따라 남학생들을 두 집단으로 구분하여 모형의 적합도를 비교하였는데, 상담 경험이 없는 남자대학생들은 부분매개모형이 자료에 적합한 것으로 나타나, 성역할갈등이 높을지라도 자기 낙인과 사회적 낙인으로 인해 도움추구 행동이 줄어들 수 있다는 점이 밝혀졌다.
To get a better understanding of why men are reluctant to seek professional help for their psychological distress, the authors examined 3 mediators (social stigma and self-stigma associated with seeking counseling and attitudes toward seeking counseling) regarding the link between gender role conflict and willingness to seek counseling by using structural equation modeling with data from 385 male university students. Results indicated that this link was partially mediated by these 3 factors. That is, men experiencing greater gender role conflict were more likely to have high social stigma and self-stigma; high social stigma and high self-stigma then led to less positive attitudes and subsequently to less willingness to seek counseling. In addition, the relationships among the study variables were different for those with previous counseling experience than those without previous counseling experience. For those without previous counseling experience, the partially mediating model was fit to the data, whereas for those with previous counseling experience indirect effects were not significant.
