Abstract

This study examines how people perceive and experience busyness, which is a great social pressure in the Korean society, and The socio-psychological motives that drive people's different paces of life, such as busyness or slowness, despite being in the same busy reality, were examined. Furthermore, an in-depth study was conducted on the adaptation factors in the real society according to the speed of individual life. The analysis of this study was based on an in-depth interview data of 21 unmarried men and women in their 20s and 30s, and was conducted using a phenomenological qualitative analysis method. As a result, the perception and experience of being busy had both positive and negative parts. The components of socio-psychological motivation that affect the speed of an individual's life are 'internalization of positive values of (busy/rest)', '(future/present) centric', 'selection & concentration/Inertial busyness', 'personality characteristics' were derived. In addition, 'self-selection', 'successful time management', and 'maintenance of psychological health' were derived as common factors among adaptation factors in real society, 'a sense of achievement' and 'understanding and accepting self-characteristics' were derived as discriminatory factors. became Based on these results, the value and meaning of being busy in Korean society was discussed from a social psychology perspective, and a new perspective was presented to existing studies and discussions related to the speed of life. In addition, several follow-up studies were proposed.

본 연구는 한국사회에서 큰 사회적 압력으로 작용하고 있는 바쁨에 대해 사람들이 어떻게 인식하고 경험하고 있는지와 바쁨과 느림의 삶의 속도를 추동하는 사회 심리적 동기들을 살펴보았다. 나아가 바쁨과 느림의 개인의 삶의 속도에 따른 현실에서의 적응요소에 대해 심층적으로 탐구하였다. 본 연구의 분석은 20·30대 미혼남녀 21명의 심층면접 자료를 이용한 현상학적 연구 방법으로 이루어졌다. 그 결과 바쁨에 대한 인식 및 경험들은 긍정적인 부분과 부정적인 부분이 공존하고 있으며 바쁨과 느림의 삶의 속도에 영향을 미치는 사회 심리적 동기의 구성 요소들은 '(바쁨/쉼)의 긍정적 가치 내면화', '(미래/현재) 중심적', '바쁨의 일상화/선택과 집중', '성격특성'이 도출되었다. 또한 바쁘게 사는 사람과 느리게 사는 사람들의 공통적인 현실 적응요소는 '자기 선택적', '성공적인 시간관리', '심리적 건강 유지'가 차별적 요소는 '성취감'과 '자기특성 이해 및 수용'이 도출되었다. 이러한 결과들을 토대로 한국사회에서 바쁨에 부여된 가치와 의미를 사회심리학적 관점에서 논의하였으며 삶의 속도와 관련된 기존 연구 및 논의들에 새로운 관점을 제시해 주었다. 또한 여러 팔로업(follow up) 가능한 연구들을 제안하였다.
