초록

본 연구의 목적은 어린 시절 정서적 학대 경험이 성인기 정서조절곤란에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 성인기 정서적 지지와 촉진적 관계가 조절 효과를 보이는지 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 본 연구를 통해 정서적 학대의 영향을 감소시킬 수 있는 임상적 개입방안을 모색할 수 있을 것이다. 이를 위해 전국의 성인남녀 336명을 대상으로 정서적 학대, 정서조절곤란, 정서적 지지, 촉진적 관계척도를 온라인 방식으로 실시했다. 조절 효과를 검증하기 위해 정서적 학대, 정서적 지지, 이들 간의 상호작용항을 투입하여 위계적 회귀분석을 실시했으며, 정서적 학대와 촉진적 관계에 대해서도 같은 방식으로 분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 아버지와 어머니의 정서적 학대는 정서조절곤란에 유의미한 영향을 미쳤으며, 아버지의 정서적 학대와 정서조절곤란의 관계에서 정서적 지지 및 촉진적 관계의 조절 효과는 유의미했고, 어머니의 정서적 학대에 대한 조절효과는 유의미하지 않았다. 이러한 결과를 통해 어린 시절 아버지로부터의 정서적 학대경험은 성인기 정서적 지지나 촉진적 관계를 통해 부정적 영향을 완화시킬 수 있으나 어머니의 정서적 학대경험을 그렇지 못함을 알 수 있다. 이에 대해 아버지와 어머니의 정서적 학대 영향력의 차이, 성인기 관계 경험의 중요성, 그리고 이러한 결과들의 임상적 함의에 대해 논의하였다.

This study aimed to examine the moderating effects of emotional support and facilitative relationship in the relation of emotional abuse and difficulties in emotion regulation. This research suggests therapeutic methods for reducing the negative effects of emotional abuse. Data about emotional abuse, difficulties in emotion regulation, emotional support, and relationship inventory were collected by online survey from 336 adults in South Korea. To test moderation effects, multiple regression analyses entering emotional abuse, emotional support(facilitative relationship) and their interaction terms were hierarchically conducted. Emotional abuse increased difficulties in emotion regulation. Moderating effects of emotional support and facilitative relationship were found in the relation between father's emotional abuse and difficulties in emotion regulation. But Moderating effects of emotional support and facilitative relationship were not found in the relation between mother's emotional abuse and difficulties in emotion regulation. The different effects of father's emotional abuse and mother's, the effects of adult's positive relationship, and clinical implications of these findings were discussed.
