Differences in Emotion Regulation Strategies by Sex and Personality Types

본 연구는 성별과 성격유형 등의 개인차 변인에 따라 주로 사용하는 정서조절방략의 차이를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 대학생 집단을 대상으로 정서조절방략 질문지(ERSQ)와 성격검사를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 첫째, 여성은 남성에 비해 주변 사람들에게 불쾌한 감정을 표현하고 공감을 얻는 체험적 방략을 자주 사용하였다. 남성은 여성에 비해 문제를 해결할 수 있는 구체적인 행동을 취하지만, 술, 담배, 게임 등 중독 가능한 활동을 취하는 경향이 훨씬 많았다. 둘째, 외향형은 내향형에 비해 거의 모든 적응적 방략을 더 빈번하게 사용한 데 반해, 내향형은 외향형에 비해 ‘부정적으로 생각하기’ 방략만을 자주 사용하였다. 셋째, 감성형은 지성형에 비해 체험적 방략을 자주 사용하였고, 지성형은 감성형에 비해 가장 능동적이고 적응적인 방략인 ‘능동적으로 생각하기’와 ‘문제해결행동 취하기’를 자주 사용하였다. 끝으로 본 연구의 의의, 한계점 및 앞으로의 연구 방향에 대해 논의하였다.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the differences of emotion regulation strategies with participants depending on individual differences such as sex and personality types. The instruments used for this study included the Emotion Regulation Strategy Questionnaire(ERSQ) and the Personality Test for the undergraduate students. The results were as follows. First, female participants reported experiential strategies more often than male ones. Male participants took not only specific problem-solving action but also addictive activities such as alcohol, cigarette and game more often than female ones. Second, whereas extroverts reported most of adaptive strategies more often than introverts, introverts reported maladaptive ones including “Think negatively” more often than extroverts. Third, feeling types reported experiential strategies more often than thinking types. Thinking types reported “Think actively” and “Take problem-solving action”, and the most active and adaptive strategies more frequently than feeling types. Finally, the implications and limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are discussed.
