본 연구는 혼합정서 경험과 정서인식 명확성이 우울 및 불안증상에 미치는 영향을 탐색하였다. 검증을 위해 147명의 학부생을 대상으로 정서인식 명확성과 우울 및 불안증상 측정은 자기보고식 측정치를, 혼합정서 경험은 제작한 시나리오 척도를 사용하여 혼합정서 경험을 측정하였다. 이후 위계적중다회귀 분석과 slope analysis를 통해 우울 및 불안증상에 미치는 혼합정서경험과 정서인식 명확성의 상호작용효과를 검증하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 행복, 슬픔, 혐오가 유발되는 상황에서 혼합정서경험과 정서인식 명확성의 상호작용이 우울증상을 유의미하게 예측하였다. 둘째, 공포가 유발되는 상황에서 혼합정서경험과 정서인식 명확성의 상호작용이 불안증상을 예측하였다. 상호작용 양상을 살펴보면, 긍정적인 정서가 유발된 상황에서는 혼합정서경험을 많이 하면서 정서인식 명확성이 낮은 경우가, 부정적인 정서가 유발되는 상황에서는 혼합정서경험을 적게 하면서 정서인식 명확성이 높은 경우가 각 증상을 유의미하게 예측하였다. 이를 통해 다양한 상황에서 혼합정서경험이 가능하고, 혼합정서경험과 정서인식 명확성이 우울 및 불안증상에 미치는 영향력은 특정 정서가 유발되는 상황에 따라 달라지며, 이러한 관계는 상담과정에서 내담자의 특정 정서적 경험과 명확성에 따라 치료적 접근이 달라질 필요가 있음을 시사한다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구의 의의와 한계점 및 후속연구에 대해 논의하였다.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of mixed emotion experience (ME) and emotional clarity (EC) on symptoms of depression and anxiety. Participants included 147 undergraduate students who completed self-report questionnaires and scenario scales assessing emotional clarity, depressive/anxiety symptoms and mixed emotion experience. Hierarchical multiple regression and slope analyses were conducted to examine the interaction effects. Results indicated that the interaction of ME and EC significantly predicted depression symptoms in happiness/sadness/disgust-provoking situations and anxiety symptoms in fear- provoking situations. Furthermore, interaction patterns showed that in positive emotion situations, high ME and low EC predicted symptoms of depression. In a negative emotion situation, low ME and high EC predicted anxiety symptoms. These results suggest that individuals can experience mixed emotions and that the interaction effects of ME and EC on depression/anxiety symptoms depend on specific emotion- provoking situations and emotion-linked attentional bias. Implications and limitations are discussed.
