Abstract

The purpose of this study is to suggest enhancing positive emotions by examining the relationship between savoring belief, rumination, and positive emotion for university and graduate students. For this purpose, a questionnaire measuring savoring beliefs, ruminations, and positive emotion was conducted for 235 university and graduate students in Seoul. As a result of the Structural modeling analysis, students' savoring beliefs had a positive effect on positive emotion and negative effect on rumination, and rumination had a negative effect on positive emotion. Rumination showed a partial mediating effect on the relationship between savoring beliefs and positive emotion. The results of this study provide important meaning that the savoring beliefs is a process of exploring the positive emotion because it does not deal with the mechanism of reinforcing positive emotions in detail. That is, it is meaningful in that it confirms the effect of an effective savoring strategy to increase the positive emotion and at the same time reveals the mechanism. Rather than simply focusing on the savoring beliefs, it can be expected that positive emotion will be improved by intervening with rumination.

본 연구는 대학 및 대학원생을 대상으로 향유신념과 반추, 긍정정서의 관계를 확인함으로써, 긍정정서를 증진시킬 수 있는 방안을 실증적으로 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 서울 소재 대학에 재학 중인 대학 및 대학원생 235명을 대상으로 향유신념, 반추, 긍정정서를 측정하는 질문지를 실시하였다. 구조방정식 모형분석을 실시한 결과, 대학 및 대학원생의 향유신념은 긍정정서에 긍정적인 영향을, 반추에는 부정적인 영향을 미쳤고, 반추는 긍정정서에 부정적인 영향을 끼쳤는데, 향유신념과 긍정정서의 정적 관계는 반추에 의해 부분 매개되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 긍정정서를 높이기 위한 향유하기 방략의 효과를 확인하는 동시에 그 기제를 밝혔다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 단순히 향유신념에 초점을 두는 것보다 긍정정서에 대한 반추의 영향력을 함께 고려할 때 더 효과적으로 긍정정서의 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것이다.
