Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the double mediating the effects of social support and self-esteem in the relationship between the subjective social class and the suicide thoughts of middle aged men and women. The subjective social class was analyzed in a parallel double-mediated model to check the mediating effect of self-esteem and social support on the idea of suicide. Social support and self-respect, which are mediating variables of subjective social class on suicide idea, both were a statistically significant. Putting the results of this study together, it is essential to establish a living-based social support system for middle-aged adults. This will contribute to improving self-esteem among middle-aged adults.

본 연구의 목적은 중년(45~64세) 남녀를 대상으로 주관적 사회계층과 자살생각의 관계에서 자아존중감과 사회적 지지의 이중 매개효과를 파악하는 것이다. 대상자의 주관적 사회계층이 자살생각에 영향에 사회적 지지와 자아존중감의 매개효과를 확인하기 위해 병렬 이중 매개모형으로 분석하였다. 성별, 연령, 동거인 여부와 우울을 보정한 상태에서 독립변수인 주관적 사회계층은 매개변수인 사회적 지지(β =0.23, p<.001)와 자아존중감(β =0.12, p <.001)에 사회적 지지는 자아존중감에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다(β =0.21, p<.001). 종속변수인 자살생각에 주관적 사회계층(β =-0.25, p<.001), 사회적 지지(β =-0.32, p<.001)와 자아존중감(β =-0.19, p=.001)이 모두 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 주관적 사회계층이 자아존중감을 매개로 하여 자살생각에 미치는 간접효과와 주관적 계층이 사회적 지지 그리고 자아존중감을 거쳐 자살생각에 이르는 다중 간접효과 모두 유의하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 따라 중년성인을 대상으로 생활터 기반의 사회적 지지체계 구축이 필요하다. 이는 중년성인의 자아존중감 향상에 기여하여, 자살예방에 긍정적 영향을 미칠 것이다.
