Abstract

The present study tested a hypothesis that mood awareness and emotional expressivity would attenuate the association between academic stress and adjustment. In support of the hypothesis, the present research showed that emotional expressivity moderated the association between academic stress and adjustment among college students. That is, the association was attenuated by emotional expressivity when academic stress was high more than when academic stress was low. Curiously, we also identified an interesting diversion between two factors of mood awareness. Specifically, mood monitoring moderated the negative association between academic stress and adjustment, whereas mood labeling did not. That is, mood monitoring was particularly effective when academic stress was high, but mood labeling showed substantial benefits regardless of the level of academic stress. Overall, the present results suggest that mood awareness (in particular, mood labeling) and emotional expressivity serve as cognitive and behavioral protective factors that can buffer academic stress among college students.

본 연구에서는 기분 인식과 정서 표현이 학업 스트레스와 적응 간의 부적인 관계를 약화시킬 것이라는 가설을 검증하였다. 대학생과 대학원생 100명을 대상으로 연구를 실시한 결과, 우선 정서 표현은 학업 스트레스와 적응 간의 관계를 조절하였다. 즉, 정서표현성은 학업스트레스와 학업 적응 간의 부적 관계를 완화하는 기능을 하는데 이런 효과는 학업 스트레스가 심할 때 더 강하게 나타났다. 흥미로운 점은, 기분 인식의 두 요인인 기분모니터링과 기분명명화가 학업 스트레스-적응 간의 관계에서 보이는 다른 양상인데, 두 요인이 모두 학업 스트레스- 적응 간의 관계를 조절할 것이라는 가설과는 다르게, 기분 모니터링은 둘 사이의 관계를 조절한 반면 기분명명화는 조절효과 없이 주효과 만을 보였다. 구체적으로, 학생들이 자신의 기분에 주의를 기울이는 것은 스트레스 많은 상황에서 학업 적응에 도움이 되었고, 본인의 기분이 무엇인지 명명하는 것은 스트레스의 수준에 관계없이 긍정적 효과를 보였다. 전체적으로, 기분 모니터링과 정서 표현이 학업스트레스 상황에 적응해야 하는 경우 인지적 행동적 보호요인으로 작용한다는 점이 이 연구의 결과이다. 마지막으로, 본 연구의 함의와 함께 후속 연구에 대한 방향이 함께 제시되었다.
