본 연구의 목적은 문화적 특성에 따른 자기보고식 성격측정도구의 재검사 신뢰도의 차이를 검증하는 것이다. 일반적으로 동아시아인들이 관계적 맥락에 의해 영향을 많이 받기 때문에 심리적 특성의 일관성이 갖는 의미가 상대적으로 작다는 선행연구 결과들에 근거하여 한국과 독일의 대학생을 대상으로 상호의존성의 차이에 기초하여 자기보고식 성격측정도구의 재검사 신뢰도를 비교하였다. 조사에는 한국 대학생 257명과 독일 대학생 196명이 참여하였는데, 이들을 상호의존적 경향을 기준으로 각각 다시 두 집단으로 구별하였다. 측정도구는 NEO-PI-R 중 외향성요인의 온정과 사교성, 친화성요인의 이타성과 겸손, 성실성요인의 충실성과 자기규제 척도이며, 1개월 간격으로 2회 실시하여 재검사 신뢰도를 측정하였고, 이를 Fisher’s Z로 환산한 후 일방향 z검증을 하였다. 그 결과 이타성 척도에서 한국과 독일의 상호의존성이 높은 집단이 낮은 집단보다 재검사 신뢰도가 유의하게 낮게 나타났으며, 겸손, 충실성, 자기규제 척도에서는 상호의존성이 높은 경우에 한국집단에서 독일집단보다 재검사 신뢰도가 유의하게 낮게 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 기초로 재검사 신뢰도의 문제를 상호의존성에 관련지어 논의하였다.
This study aims to examine if the stability of self-report measures vary with culture. People from East Asian countries are generally assumed to behave more flexibly in different interpersonal contexts and to put less emphasis on the stability of one’s self-image as compared to Westerners. It is hypothesized that this difference is related to the stability of self-report measures and would be explained by interdependence. A questionnaire study was conducted with 257 Korean and 196 German college students. Both samples were divided in two subsamples according to their level of interdependence. Data on the retest-reliability of self-report measures were collected through the repeated assessment of 6 NEO-PI-R scales: warmth, gregariousness. altruism, modesty, dutifulness and self-discipline. There was a one-month interval between the two measurements. Retest-reliability coefficients were transformed into the Fisher’s Z scores, and data analysis was carried out for these scores by one-tailed z-tests. Our results partially support the assumption of cultural effects on the stability of self-report measures. For the altruism scale, retest-reliability was significantly lower in the subsample with a higher level of interdependence both in Korea and in Germany. For the modesty, dutifulness and self-discipline scale Retest-reliability was significantly lower in students from Korea who also showed higher level of interdependence. The results were discussed in terms of interdependence.
