본 연구는 대학생을 대상으로 자기비난과 우울의 관계에서 자기침묵의 매개효과를 검증하고, 이러한 자기침묵의 매개효과가 우울에 영향을 미치는 경로에서 자기개념 명확성의 조절된 매개효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 대학생 481명을 대상으로 설문을 실시하여 조절된 매개모형을 분석하였다. 그 결과 각 변인들 간에 유의미한 상관관계를 나타내었으며, 우울에 대한 자기개념 명확성의 조절효과 검증 결과 자기비난과 우울의 관계에서 자기개념 명확성의 조절효과는 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타난 반면, 자기침묵과 우울의 관계에서 자기개념 명확성의 조절효과는 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 자기비난은 자기침묵을 통해 우울에 영향을 미치며, 이러한 경로에서 자기개념 명확성은 자기침묵의 매개효과를 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 자기개념 명확성이 높을 때는 자기비난이 자기침묵을 통해 우울을 야기하는 매개효과가 완화됨으로 우울이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 자기비난이 자기침묵을 매개로 우울이 야기될 때, 자기개념 명확성을 높여주는 것이 효과적임을 의미한다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구의 시사점과 후속 연구를 위한 제언을 논의하였다.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of self-concept clarity and self-silencing on the relationship between self-criticism and depression. We predicted self-silencing would function as a mediator in this relationship, and that self-concept clarity would moderate this mediation effect. To investigate this aim, 481 university students were surveyed. All variables showed statistically significant correlations, and after verifying the moderating effect of self-concept clarity on depression, there was no statistically significant difference in the moderating effect of self-concept clarity in the relationship with self-criticism and depression. Conversely, this study showed that there was a significant difference in the moderating effect of self-concept clarity in the relationship with self-silencing and depression. In addition, self-criticism affected depression through self-silencing, and self-concept clarity moderated the mediating effect of self-silencing. Implications and potential follow-up studies are discussed.
