본 연구는 역경을 겪더라도 건강하게 적응해 가는 개인적 특성인 자아탄력성이 외상 후 성장에 주는 영향을 살펴보았으며, 이러한 과정을 삶의 의미의 두 하위요인인 의미추구와 의미발견이 매개하는 지를 확인하였다. 나아가 이러한 과정이 연령과 성별에 따라 차이가 있는지를 살펴보기 위해 각 집단을 비교하였다. 결과를 살펴보면, 외상으로 인한 주관적 고통을 경험한 개인이 외상 후 성장을 이루어 가는데 있어서 의미추구와 의미발견이 이를 매개함을 알 수 있었다. 이는 자아탄력성을 가진 개인이 의미추구 과정, 의미발견 과정, 그리고 의미추구가 의미발견으로 이어지는 과정에서 각각 독립적으로 성장을 경험할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 본 연구의 결과에 기초한 모형을 각 집단에 적용해 다집단 분석을 실시한 결과 연령과 성별에 따라 구분된 집단에서 통계적인 차이는 유의미하지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 외상에 대한 대처반응으로써 삶의 의미추구와 의미발견, 또 이것이 성장으로 이어지는 과정이 연령이나 성별에 관계없이 보편적으로 적용될 수 있는 개념임을 시사한다. 끝으로 본 연구의 의미와 한계를 논하였다.
This study examined the effect of ego-resilience on posttraumatic growth(PTG), and if the searching for meaning and the presence of meaning mediated the effects. For this study, a total of 351 participants was recruited and their response were used. The multi-group analysis also investigated that those mechanism varied by gender and age groups. Findings in this study showed that a resilient person may experience posttraumatic growth. Furthermore, this effect of ego-resilience was mediated through the searching for meaning and presence of meaning. Additionally, findings regarding multi-group analysis showed that the indirect effects of ego-resilience mediated through searching for the meaning and presence of meaning on posttraumatic growth would constant regardless of gender and age groups. Limitations of the results and suggestions for future research are discussed.
