Abstract

Objective : This study aimed to identify the relationship between sensory processing and personality in college students by using five personality factors. Methods : The study was conducted between October and December 2022 with 149 college students majoring in health studies. Sensory processing was evaluated using the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP), and personality was evaluated using the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP). The data collected were analyzed by descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, and Pearson correlation analysis, and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used. Results : Extraversion and agreeableness showed a significant correlation with all sensory processing types. Neuroticism showed a positive correlation with all types of sensory processing other than sensory seeking, while openness to experience showed a positive correlation with sensory seeking. Conscientiousness showed a negative correlation with low registration and sensory sensitivity type (p<.01). Conclusion : This study found a relationship between sensory processing type and personality type through an evaluation of five personality in college students. This information can be used to find solutions to various problems that college students.

목적 : 대학생을 대상으로 성격 5요인을 사용하여 감각처리와 성격 간의 관련성을 알아보았다. 연구방법 : 본 연구는 2022년 10월부터 12월까지 보건관련 학과 대학생 149명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 감각처리는 청소년/성인 감각프로파일(Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile; AASP)로 평가하고, 성격은 성격 5요인(International Personality Item Pool; IPIP)으로 평가하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS를 이용하여 기술통계, 빈도분석, 피어슨상관분석을 실시하였다. 결과 : 외향성과 친화성 성격은 모든 감각처리 유형과 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 감각추구를 제외한 모든 감각처리 유형과 신경성 성격 간, 감각추구 유형과 개방성 성격 간에 양의 상관관계가 있었고, 성실성 성격과 등록저하 및 감각예민 유형 간에 음의 상관관계가 있었다(p<.01). 결론 : 대학생의 감각처리와 성격 5요인 평가를 통한 성격 간에 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 추후 대학생에게 나타나는 여러 문제의 해결방안을 모색하는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
