Abstract

This study aimed to develop a Korean word tool related to solitude and loneliness. Because collecting the right words is very important, words that express the two emotions were selected from three language dictionaries. At this time, related words were collected to specifically reflect the increasing number of people seeking voluntary solitude. Consequently, 1,768 words were collected. From these, 684 words were selected based on specific criteria that everyone can understand and use, and they went through a six-iteration selection process, which extracted a total of 243 words. Considering the nature of the study, the meanings of the words collected must be clear and comprehensively represent the overall aspects of solitude and loneliness. Accordingly, a total of 243 words were selected, focusing on words that received the highest ratings in terms of familiarity and appropriateness. It is expected that this study will establish a clear concept of solitude and loneliness and provide basic data that can be used to understand the realistic and universal perception of Koreans from a developmental perspective.

본 연구의 목적은 고독과 외로움에 관한 한국어 단어 도구를 개발하는 것이다. 적합한 단어를 수집하는 것이 매우 중요하므로, 3종의 국어사전에서 두 정서를 나타내는 것으로 판단되는 어휘를 선별하였다. 이때, 자발적 고독을 추구하는 사람들의 증가 현상을 특별히 반영하여 관련 단어를 수집하였다. 그 결과, 총 1,768개의 단어로 구성된 총집을 마련하였다. 이어서 모든 사람이 이해하고 사용할 수 있는 구체적 기준에 근거해 총 684개의 단어로 선별한 후 6회의 반복적 선별 절차를 통해 총 243개의 단어를 선정하였다. 연구 특성상, 수집된 단어의 의미는 명확해야 하고 고독과 외로움의 전체적인 양상을 총체적으로 나타낼 수 있어야 한다. 이에 총 243개 단어에 대한 친숙성과 적절성의 평정치가 공통으로 가장 높게 나타난 단어들을 중심으로 최종 선별하였다. 본 연구가 고독과 외로움에 대한 명확한 개념정립과 한국인의 실제적이고 보편적인 인식을 발달적 관점에서 파악하는 데 활용 가능한 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
