Abstract

The study aims to verify the influence of overt narcissism and covert narcissism in adolescents upon Interpersonal Relationship through self-concept clarify. Regular middle school students were surveyed over the period from November 4 to 22, 2019. A total of 470 questionnaires were used in the analysis for this study. The data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0 statistics suites. The study results are as follows. First, the covert and overt narcissism of adolescents had a negative impact on the self-concept clarity. Second, the self-concept clarity of adolescents had a positive impact on interpersonal relationships. Third, the covert and overt narcissism of adolescents had a negative impact on interpersonal relationships. Fourth, in the relationship between adolescent overt/ covert narcissism and interpersonal relationship, self-concept clarity all had a significant mediating effect. This research has empirically demonstrated the influence of the self-concept clarity upon interpersonal relationship in relation to the overt and covert narcissism of adolescents, so that the study findings provide a wider understanding of the adolescents who have difficulties with Interpersonal Relationships while helping enhance expertise in the counseling and education curriculum based on the characteristics of narcissists.

본 연구는 청소년을 대상으로 외현적 자기애와 내현적 자기애가 자기개념 명료성을 통해 대인관계에 미치는 영향을 검증하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 일반계 중학생을 대상으로 하여 2019년 11월 4일부터 11월 22일까지 설문조사를 실시하였고, 총 470부가 분석에 사용되었다. 자료는 SPSS 23.0과 AMOS 23.0 통계프로그램을 사용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 청소년의 외현적·내현적 자기애는 자기개념 명료성에 부(-)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 청소년의 자기개념 명료성은 대인관계에 정(+)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 청소년의 외현적·내현적 자기애는 대인관계에 부(-)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 청소년의 외현적·내현적 자기애와 대인관계의 관계에서 자기개념 명료성은 모두 유의한 매개효과가 있음을 검증하였다. 본 연구는 청소년들의 외현적 및 내현적 자기애적 특성으로 구분하여 자기개념 명확성이 대인관계에 미치는 영향을 경험적으로 밝혀냄으로써 대인관계로 어려움을 겪는 청소년들에게 보다 폭넓은 이해를 제공하고, 자기애 성향자의 특성에 따라 상담 및 교육의 커리큘럼에 대한 전문성을 넓히는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.
