또래관계에 대한 자기평가편향과 주관적 안녕감, 대인행동의 관계: 적정한계선 가설의 검증
How self-estimation bias in peer relationship relates to subjective well-being and to interpersonal behaviors: Testing the optimal margin hypothesis

초록
본 연구는 실제 또래관계에 비해 자신의 또래관계를 긍정적으로 편향되게 지각하는 경향이 주관적 안녕감 및 기본심리욕구 지지적인 대인행동과 어떠한 관계가 있는지 규명하는데 목적이 있었다. 특히 긍정적 착각의 적정한계선 가설을 검증하기 위해 자기평가편향이 이들 변인과 곡선관계가 있는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 초등학교 5, 6학년 346명을 대상으로 또래관계에 한정된 영역특수적 자기평가와 그에 상응하는 객관적 또래관계 지표인 내향중심성을 준거로 자기평가편향을 측정하였다. 연구결과, 또래관계에 대한 자기평가편향은 남학생에 비해 여학생에게서 유의미하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 자기평가편향은 부정정서와 유의미한 정적 곡선관계, 관계성지지 대인행동과 유의미한 부적 곡선관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 긍정적 착각의 적정한계선 가설이 의미하는 바와 같이, 긍정적 자기평가편향이 높을수록 부정정서는 낮고 대인관계에서 타인의 관계성 욕구를 지지하는 대인행동을 많이 하지만, 자기평가편향이 적정 수준을 넘어서면 오히려 부정정서는 높아지고 관계성 지지행동은 더 이상 증가하지 않음을 의미한다. 그러나 긍정정서, 유능성지지 대인행동, 자율성지지 대인행동에 대해 정적 선형관계를 나타낸바, 긍정적 착각의 적정한계선 가설이 모든 결과변인에 해당하는 것은 아니었다. 연구의 의의 및 후속연구를 위한 제언이 논의되었다.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore how overly positive self-estimations in peer relationships relate to subjective well-being and to the occurrence of interpersonal behaviors supporting basic psychological needs among elementary school students. This study tested the optimal margin hypothesis of positive illusion by examining the curvilinear relationship between these variables. The sample consisted of 346 fifth and sixth grade students. The self-criterion residual method was used to derive self-estimation bias scores by regressing the real peer relations index (i.e., In-degree) on their perceived peer relationship qualities. The results showed that girls more strongly overestimated the quality of their peer relationships than boys. Self-estimation biases had a positive curvilinear relationship with negative affects and a negative curvilinear relationship with relatedness needs supporting interpersonal behaviors. These results supported the existence of the optimal margin of positive illusion because overestimations of the quality of peer relationships were associated with lower levels of negative affects and relatedness needs-supporting interpersonal behaviors, though these benefits flattened out and no further benefit was observed after an optimal level of overestimation. However, self-estimation bias was linearly associated with positive affect, autonomy needs-supporting interpersonal behaviors, and competence needs-supporting interpersonal behaviors. These results indicated that optimal margin hypothesis was not supported for all outcome variables.
