Abstract

Social Networking Sites (hereafter SNSs) have become a part of people's daily routines. Beginning as a hobby/communicating tool for a specific group of people, SNSs have expanded in terms of the number of users, frequency of access, and depth and range of sharing. It is recently reported that the users experience SNS fatigue from being connected at all time. However, limited research has addressed this issue. The purpose of the present study was to examine the mediating role of reputational concern and expectation of others' responses on the relationship between narcissism and Facebook fatigue. A total of 329 Facebook users completed an online survey. The results showed that individuals who rated high on narcissism experienced a high level of Facebook fatigue, and that both reputational concern and expectation of others' responses partially mediated the relationship between narcissism and fatigue. Implications of the findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

특정 집단의 취미활동이자 소통수단으로 시작되었던 소셜 네트워킹 사이트(SNS)는 이용자수, 이용의 깊이와 범위, 그리고 빈도를 주목할 때 이제 현대인의 일상 그 자체가 되어가고 있다. 그러나 삶과 밀접해진 SNS 이용으로 인해 최근 SNS 이용자가 피로감을 호소하고 있음에도 불구하고, 이에 대한 심리학적 원인을 규명하는 연구는 매우 부족하다. 이에 본 연구는 가장 대표적 SNS인 페이스북 사용자를 대상으로 자기애가 높은 사용자가 페이스북 피로감을 느끼게 하는 심리적 기제를 알아보고자 하였다. 자기애는 SNS 이용에 영향력 있는 성격특성으로 연구된 바 있으며, 평판근심과 반응기대의 매개효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 인터넷 설문을 통하여 페이스북 사용자 329명의 응답자료를 수집하여 분석하였다. 결과적으로, 자기애 성향이 높은 사용자일수록 SNS 피로감을 많이 경험하였고, 평판근심과 타인의 반응기대가 이를 매개함을 밝혔다. 본 연구를 통해 SNS 이용에 있어 사용자의 자기애가 미치는 긍정적/부정적 영향에 대한 기존 연구결과 사이에 평판근심과 반응기대가 SNS 피로감 형성에 미칠 수 있다는 이론적 함의를 제시하고자 한다.
