Belief about worry and coping strategies in pathological worrier.

본 연구는 병리적 걱정과 관련된 요인을 알아보기 위해 병리적 걱정을 하는 사람이 그렇지 않은 사람과 달리 걱정에 대한 긍정적 신념과 부정적 신념, 그리고 정보회피방략과 정보수집 및 해결책산출 방략에서 어떤 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 578명의 대학생을 대상으로 펜실베니아 걱정증상 질문지, 걱정영역 질문지, 걱정관련신념 척도 질문지, 걱정 유발 상황에 따른 대처방략 질문지를 실시하였다. 그리고 펜실베니아 걱정증상 질문지와 걱정영역 질문지의 점수를 기준으로 병리적 걱정집단(n=158), 정상걱정 고집단(n=59), 정상걱정 저집단(n=138)으로 나누어 걱정관련 신념척도와 대처방략 질문지 점수에서 차이가 있는지를 비교하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 병리적 걱정을 하는 사람과 정상적 걱정을 많이 하는 사람이 걱정을 적게 하는 사람보다 걱정에 대한 긍정적 신념 수준이 높았다. 둘째, 병리적 걱정을 하는 사람은 정상적 걱정을 많이 하는 사람과 적게 하는 사람 보다 걱정에 대한 부정적 신념이 높았다. 셋째, 세 집단간에 정보회피 방략에서는 차이가 없었고, 정보수집과 해결책산출 방략에 대해서는 병리적 걱정을 하는 사람이 걱정을 적게 하는 사람보다 높게 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 정상적 걱정과정이 어떻게 범불안장애의 핵심증상인 병리적 걱정으로 발전하게 되는가에 대한 이해의 발판이 되며, 병리적 걱정을 하는 사람을 위한 치료계획 수립에 필요한 기초자료를 제공했다는데 의의가 있다.

Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the factors related to the pathological worry which is chronic, uncontrollable and maintaining anxiety. In this study it was investigated whether three groups, pathological worrier, high normal worrier and low normal worrier, had the difference in positive belief and negative belief about worry or not. And the difference in information avoidance coping strategy and information-seeking/solution-generating coping strategies was also investigated among the three groups. For this purpose, Penn State Worry Questionnaire, Worry Domains Questionnaire, Consequences of Worrying Scale, and Coping Strategies questionnaire were administrated to 578 undergraduates. Results indicate that first, pathological worrier and high normal worrier had more positive belief about worry than low normal worrier. Second, pathological worrier had more negative belief about worry than high and low normal worriers. Third, there were significant differences between pathological worrier and low normal worrier in information seeking/solution generating coping strategies, which pathological worrier got higher scores on information seeking/solution generating coping strategies than low normal worrier, while there was no difference among three groups in information avoidance coping strategy. These results suggested that the people with pathological worry have negative belief about worry. Nevertheless they cannot stop worrying and keep seeking informations and solutions about problems persistently. Their worry, therefore, become uncontrollable and anxiety maintains. Therefore, negative belief about worry and tendency to use information-seeking and solution-generating coping strategies persistently have to be target of the treatment for pathological worrier.
