Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the moderated effects of multicultural contact experience on the relationship between social distance and multicultural acceptability among nursing students. The sample for this study consisted of 174 nursing students from four universities located in Korea. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, Pearson correlation and hierarchical multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 23.0. It was found that: (a) multicultural acceptability had a negative correlation with social distance(r=-.61, p<.001), whereas a positive correlation was observed with experience of multicultural contact(r=.24, p=.002); (b) the interaction effect by multicultural contact experience and social distance had a significant influence on the multicultural acceptability(${\beta}=-.18$, p=.003); (c) experience of multicultural contact moderated the relationship between social distance and multicultural acceptability(${\Delta}R^2=0.30$, p=.003). Results of the study suggest that the greater the experience of multicultural contact, the greater the negative effect of social distance on multicultural acceptability. Therefore, to increase the multicultural acceptability of nursing students, it is important to encourage the positive experiences of multicultural contact and thus reduce social distance.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 사회적거리감과 다문화수용성의 관계에서 다문화접촉경험의 조절효과를 검정하기 위해 시도되었다. 연구 대상자는 4개 대학 간호학과 학생 174명이었다. 자료는 SPSS/WIN 23.0을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, 피어슨상관관계, 위계적 회귀분석을 하였다. 연구결과 (a) 다문화수용성은 사회적거리감과 부적 상관관계(r=-.61, p<.001)를, 다문화접촉경험과 양적 상관관계(r=.24, p=.002)가 있었다. (b) 다문화접촉경험과 사회적거리감의 상호작용효과는 다문화수용성에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다(${\beta}=-.18$, p=.003). (c) 다문화접촉경험은 사회적거리감과 다문화수용성 관계를 조절하였다(${\Delta}R^2=0.30$, p=.003). 본 연구를 통하여 다문화접촉경험이 커질수록 사회적거리감이 다문화수용성에 미치는 음의 영향력이 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 다문화수용성 향상을 위하여 사회적거리감을 줄이고 긍정적인 다문화접촉경험의 접근이 필요하다.
