시간 간격 제시 방식과 수단 간 유사성 수준이 장기적 목표 행동에 미치는 효과 -해석 수준 이론을 중심으로-

The Effect of Time Interval Description And Level of Means Similarity On Long-term Goal Pursuit -Focusing on Construal level-

초록

본 연구는 장기적인 목표가 설정된 상황에서, 사람들이 목표가 수행되는 시간 간격을 어떠한 방식으로 제시하는지에 따라서 목표를 해석하는 수준을 다르게 할 수 있다는 점에 주목하였다. 구체적으로, 목표 행동이 지속되는 시간 간격을 날짜로 제시한 경우에, 목표 행동이 완료되는 시점이 구체적으로 인지가 되며 결과에 주의를 더 기울이게 되기 때문에 높은 해석 수준을 유발하게 된다. 반면에, 시간 간격을 기간으로 제시한 경우에는 행동이 이행되는 시간 간격에 보다 더 초점화가 발생하게 되며 이는 낮은 해석 수준을 유발하게 된다. 이를 검증하기 위해서 연구 1을 시행하였으며, 시간 간격의 제시 방식에 따라 두 속성(실행가능성 vs. 바람직성)이 서로 상쇄 되는 수단에 대한 상대적인 선호도에 차이가 발생함을 검증함으로써 본 연구의 가정이 지지됨을 확인하였다. 또한, 목표를 해석하는 수준에 따라서 적합하게 지각되는 수단이 달라질 수 있으며, 이것이 서로 상응될 때 목표에 대한 행동 의도가 높게 형성된다. 구체적으로 목표를 높은 수준으로 해석하는 경우에는 수단 간 유사성 수준이 높을 때 목표 행동 의도가 높게 나타나는 반면에, 목표를 낮은 수준으로 해석하는 경우에는 수단 간 유사성이 낮을 때 목표 행동 의도가 높게 형성된다. 따라서 시간 간격을 날짜로 제시한 경우에는 수단 간 유사성 수준이 높게 제시되었을 때 목표 행동 의도가 높게 나타날 것인 반면 기간으로 제시한 경우에는 수단 간 유사성 수준이 낮을 때 목표의 행동 의도가 높게 나타날 것이라고 예측해 볼 수 있다. 이를 검증하기 위해 연구 2를 시행하였으며, 연구 결과 시간 간격을 날짜로 제시한 경우에 수단 간 유사성 수준이 높은 경우가 낮은 경우보다 목표 행동 의도가 더 높게 나타났음이 검증되었다.

Abstract

This study noted that, in a situation where a long-term goal is set, people can construe their goals differently depending on how the time interval in which the goal is performed is presented. Specifically, when the time interval in which the target action is continued is presented as a date, the point at which the target action is completed becomes more specific, and the attention is further paid to the outcomes, thereby activating high construal. On the other hand, if the time interval is presented as a period, more focus is given to the time interval at which the action is performed, which activates low construal. In order to verify this, Study 1 was conducted and it was verified that there was a difference in the relative preference for the means by which the two attributes(feasibility vs. desirability)are trade-off depending on the time interval description. Also, the perceived means may vary depending on the goal construal, and when these are corresponding to each other, the motivation for goal pursuit is high. Specifically, when the goal is construed at a high level, the motivation for goal pursuit is high when the similarity of the means is high, whereas when the goal is construed at the low level, the motivation for goal pursuit is high when the similarity of the means is low. Thus, if the time interval is presented as a date, the motivation for goal pursuit will be high when the similarity of the means is high, whereas if the time interval is presented as the duration, the motivation for goal pursuit will be high when the similarity of the means is low. In order to verify this, Study 2 was conducted and it was verified that the motivation for goal pursuit was higher than the case in which the similarity of the means was low when the time interval was presented as the date.
