Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating effect of interpersonal problem on the relationship between ADHD tendency and depression in college students. Data collection started from October to November in 2020 and the duration of data collection was about 1 month. College students were administered questionnaires of ADHD tendency, depression, and interpersonal problem scales. Data from 201 college students were analyzed with structural equation model using SPSS and AMOS program. The results indicated that there were significant positive correlations among ADHD tendency, depression, and interpersonal problem in college students. And there was a full mediation effect of interpersonal problem on the relationship between ADHD tendency and depression in college students. The result suggests ADHD tendency do not directly influence on depression but ADHD tendency influence on depression through interpersonal problem in college students. Current findings can contribute to the counseling and clinical field by providing the strategy of reducing interpersonal problem to prevent the depression and enhance the psychological health of those who have ADHD tendency in college students.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 ADHD 경향과 우울의 관계에서 대인관계 문제의 매개효과를 살펴보는 데 있다. 자료수집 기간은 2020년 10월부터 11월까지로 1개월 소요되었다. 대학생을 대상으로 ADHD 경향, 우울, 대인관계문제 척도로 이루어진 설문조사를 실시하여 자료를 수집하였다. 총 201부의 통계분석을 위해 SPSS와 AMOS 프로그램을 적용하여 구조방정식 분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 대학생의 ADHD 경향, 우울, 대인관계 문제 변인 간에는 유의미한 정적 상관을 보였다. 그리고 대학생의 ADHD 경향이 우울에 미치는 영향에서 대인관계 문제는 완전 매개를 나타냈다. 이러한 연구 결과는 대학생의 ADHD 경향이 우울에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것이 아니라 ADHD 경향이 대인관계 문제를 매개로 우울이 나타나는 것을 시사했다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 상담 및 임상 현장에서 대인관계 문제를 감소시키는 전략이 ADHD 경향을 가진 대학생의 우울의 예방 및 정신건강을 증진시키는데 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.
