Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the differences in negative health behavior, mental health, and self-esteem between tattooed and non-tattooed college students. The subjects of this study were 214 four-year college students located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, factor analysis, Cronbach's α, crossover analysis, and t-test were conducted using the 25.0 version of the SPSS statistical package. As a result of the study, there was no significant difference in negative health behavior, mental health, and self-esteem between the two groups according to the presence of tattoos. Therefore, it can be said that it has a meaning as a positive aspect of research contrary to previous studies that report negative properties of tattoo. This study is expected to be used as basic data in establishing tattoo culture suitable for the times by reflecting and activating tattoos as a cultural phenomenon in the future.

본 연구는 대학생의 타투 소유자와 비소유자를 대상으로 부정적 건강행동, 정신건강 그리고 자아존중감의 차이를 분석하기 위하여 실시하였다. 연구대상자는 서울·경기소재 4년제 대학생 214명으로 하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 통계패키지 25.0 version을 이용하여 기술통계, 요인분석, Cronbach's α를 산출하여 분석하였고, 교차분석, t-test를 실시하였다. 연구결과 타투 유무에 따른 두 집단간의 부정적 건강행동, 정신건강 및 자아존중감에 대한 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 타투의 부정적 속성을 보고하는 선행연구들과 상반되는 긍정적인 측면의 연구로서의 의미를 가진다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 앞으로 타투를 문화현상으로서 타투를 반영하고 활성화 시켜 시대에 맞는 문신문화를 확립하는데 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
