Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the mediating effect of emotional dysregulation on the relationship between the specific domains of self-esteem and aggression. Three questionnaire were administered to 287 individuals and the multiple regression analyses and Baron and Kenny's hierarchical regression analyses were used. The result shows that social and objective ability and positive character had significant influence on aggression, while impulse control difficulties, lack of emotional clarity and limited access to emotion regulation strategies largely contributed to aggression. Moreover, emotional dysregulation functioned as a significant mediator variable for explaining the link between self-esteem and aggression. Impulse control difficulties have fully mediated positive personality and hostility, limited access to emotion regulation has partially mediated social and objective ability and hostility, respectively.

본 연구는 자존감의 특정 영역과 공격성의 관계에서 정서조절곤란의 매개효과를 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 한국형 자존감 평가 영역 척도, 공격성 질문지, 정서조절곤란 질문지가 사용되었고 총 287명의 응답이 분석에 포함되었다. 중다회귀분석을 통해 각 변인의 구성요인별로 영향력을 검증하여 유의한 변인을 도출하였고 이를 중심으로 Baron과 Kenny의 위계적 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 분석결과, 자존감의 특정 영역 중 사회적 및 객관적 능력과 긍정적 성품은 공격성에 유의미한 영향을 끼쳤고, 정서조절곤란 중 충동통제곤란, 명료성의 부족, 전략적 접근 제한이 공격성에 유의미한 영향을 나타냈다. 또한 정서조절곤란이 자존감과 공격성의 관계를 설명하는 중요 매개변인으로 작용하고 있음이 밝혀졌다. 충동통제곤란은 긍정적 성품과 분노감을, 명료성 부족은 긍정적 성품과 적대감을 완전 매개하였고, 전략적 접근제한은 사회적 및 객관적 능력과 적대감을 부분 매개하였다.
