본 연구에서는 감사가 낙관성과 역경후성장의 관계에서 매개역할을 하는지 살펴보고, 정서인식명확성과 조망수용이 이러한 매개효과를 조절하는 조절된 매개효과를 갖는지 확인하기 위해 조절된 매개모형 분석을 실시하였다. 이를 위해 서울 및 경기도에 거주하는 일반 성인 411명을 대상으로 낙관성, 감사, 정서인식명확성, 조망수용, 역경후성장을 측정하였고, 역경경험 질문지에 응답하게 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 매개효과를 검증한 결과, 낙관성이 높을수록 감사가 높았고, 감사가 높을수록 역경후성장이 높았으며, 낙관성과 역경후성장의 관계에서 감사가 부분매개역할을 하는 것으로 드러났다. 둘째, 조절효과를 검증한 결과, 낙관성과 감사의 관계에서 정서인식명확성과 조망수용이 조절효과를 갖는 것으로 드러났다. 보다 구체적으로 정서인식명확성과 조망수용이 높을수록 낙관성이 감사에 미치는 영향이 작았기 때문에, 정서인식명확성과 조망수용이 감사를 높여주는 촉진적인 역할을 하였다. 셋째, 앞에서 확인된 매개모형과 조절모형을 결합한 조절된 매개모형을 검증한 결과, 낙관성과 역경후성장 간의 관계에서 감사의 매개효과를 정서인식명확성과 조망수용이 조절하는 조절된 매개효과가 확인되었다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 연구의 시사점과 한계점을 논의하였다.
The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effect of gratitude on the relationship between optimism and posttraumatic growth, and the moderated mediating effects of emotional clarity and perspective-taking on the relationship between optimism and posttraumatic growth via gratitude. Participants were 411 adults living in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The results indicated a significant partial mediating effect of gratitude on the relationship between optimism and posttraumatic growth. Additionally, the moderating effects of emotional clarity and perspective-taking on the relationship between optimism and gratitude were found to be significant. Finally, the moderated mediating effects of emotional clarity and perspective-taking on the relationship between optimism and posttraumatic growth via gratitude were significant. The implications and limitations of the study are discussed.
