우리사회 만연한 물질주의의 폐해에 대한 높은 우려에도 불구하고 개인의 물질주의 가치 추구와 정신건강과의 관계를 탐색한 국내 연구는 극히 제한적이다. 본 연구는 성인기 초기 여성을 대상으로 물질주의 가치 추구와 이상섭식행동 간의 관계를 연구하였다. 구체적으로 성인 초기 여성이 물질주의를 추구하는 경향이 높을수록 외모가 성공의 중요한 기준이 되는 외모주의를 추구할 가능성도 높아질 것이라 예상하였고, 외모주의가 높은 여성의 경우 타인의 외모와 자신의 외모를 비교하는 사회비교를 더 빈번히 할 것이라 예측하였다. 이러한 외모에 대한 사회비교는 여성이 자신의 신체에 더욱 불만족하게 되어 결국 그 불만족에 대한 부적응적인 해결 방식으로 이상섭식행동을 보일 것이라 가정하였다. 가설 검증을 위해 서울 및 수도권 소재 대학에서 모집한 성인 초기 여성 569명을 대상으로 설문을 실시하여 물질주의와 이상섭식행동에서 외모주의와 사회비교, 신체불만족의 매개효과를 구조방정식을 통해 분석하였다. 그 결과, 물질주의는 외모주의를 완전매개로 이상섭식행동을 설명하는 동시에, 물질주의와 이상섭식행동의 관계에서 외모주의와 사회비교, 신체불만족이 순차적으로 완전매개하는 것을 발견하였다. 본 연구결과가 갖는 학술 및 상담 실무에의 의의와 후속 연구를 위한 제언을 논의에 포함하였다.
Despite the detrimental effects of materialism in Korea, minimal research has been conducted to determine its relationship to mental health. This study aimed to examine the relationship between materialism and eating disorder symptoms in 569 young adult Korean women. We hypothesized that materialism would predict lookism and increase appearance-related social comparison which in turn, would lead to overall physical dissatisfaction and higher levels of eating disorder related behaviors. Results showed that lookism fully mediated the relationship between materialism and eating disorder symptoms. Results also showed that the link between materialism and eating disorder symptoms were fully mediated by lookism, social comparison of appearance and body dissatisfaction, respectively. Theoretical and clinical implications of the study and limitations are discussed.
