초등학생의 공격성과 사회적 선호도, 지각된 인기도의 관계: 친사회적 행동과 사회적 유능성의 조절효과
The Relations between Aggression and Peer Status among Elementary Students: Moderation Effects of Prosocial Behaviors and Social Competence
초록
본 연구는 초등학교 5, 6학년생을 대상으로 외현적, 관계적 공격성과 사회적 선호도 또는 지각된 인기도의 관계에서, 친사회적 행동이나 사회적 유능성이 조절효과를 보이는지를 알아보기 위해 남녀 집단별로 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 남녀 모두에서 공격성은 유형과 상관없이 사회적 선호도를 일관되게 낮추었으며, 친사회적 행동을 많이 하거나 사회적 유능성이 높다고 해도 이러한 부적 효과를 상쇄하지는 않았다. 한편, 남학생의 경우 외현적 공격성은 지각된 인기도를 유의하게 증가시켰고, 비일관적이긴 하지만 관계적 공격성 역시 인기도와 유의한 정적 관련성을 보였다. 여학생의 경우 관계적 공격성만이 지각된 인기도를 증가시켰다. 특히 남학생의 경우 공격성과 지각된 인기도의 관계가 친사회적 행동이나 사회적 유능성 등의 긍정적 속성들에 의해 조절되면서, 높은 공격성으로 인해 또래들로부터 거부되거나 선호도가 떨어지기는 하지만 또래집단 내에서 사회적 영향력이나 명망은 더욱 높아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 공격성이 또래집단 내에서 사회적 우위를 차지하기 위해 전략적으로 사용될 수 있음을 고려하여 새로운 개입방법을 모색할 필요가 있을 것이다.

Abstract
In a group of 353 elementary students, the present study examined the moderation effects of prosocial behaviors and social competence in the relations between overt/relational aggression and peer status (social preference and perceived popularity). The results indicate that both overt aggression and relational aggression lowered social preference regardless of gender. Prosocial behaviors and social competence did not buffer the negative influence of aggression on social preference. Among boys, overt aggression was a significant predictor of increased perceived popularity. Although inconsistent, relational aggression also predicted boys' perceived popularity. However, among girls, relational aggression, not overt aggression, was associated with perceived popularity. The moderation effects of prosocial behaviors and social competence were significant only among boys. In other words, boys' aggression, although it lowers social preference, contributes to their social influence and dominance when it is effectively combined with positive characteristics. It is necessary to develop new intervention strategies which reflect the adaptive function of aggression within peer groups.
