갈등관리스타일에 영향을 미치는 퍼스낼리티 요인: 성격 5요인(Big Five Factors), 자아존중감, 자기감시를 중심으로

The Effects of Adolescent's Big-Five Personality Factors, Self-Esteem and Self-Monitoring on Their Conflict Resolution Management Style

본 연구는 청소년기의 고등학생들을 대상으로 이들의 갈등관리유형을 또래간의 관계를 중심으로 파악하고, 이같은 갈등유형이 성격 5요인, 자아존중감, 및 자기감시와 어떤 관계가 있는지 살펴보았다. 먼저 성격 5요인이 갈등관리스타일에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 살펴 본 결과 친화성, 성실성, 외향성, 개방성이 높을수록 협력전락을 더 많이 사용하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 신경불안증이 높고, 친화성과 외향성이 낮을수록 공격전략을 더 많이 구사하는 것으로 드러났다. 성실성, 외향성, 개방성이 낮고 신경불안증이 높을수록 회피전략을 더 많이 사용하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 자아존중감과 자기감시가 청소년의 갈등관리스타일에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 살펴본 결과 자아존중감이 높을수록 협력전략을 더 많이 사용하는 반면 공격전략과 회피전략은 더 적게 표출하는 것으로 나타났다. 자기감시 정도가 높을수록 갈등상황에서 협력전략을 더 많이 사용하는 반면 회피전략은 더 적게 행사하는 것으로 분석되었다.

The current study examined the relationships between the adolescent's conflict resolution style and Big-Five personality factors, self-monitoring and self-esteem. Firstly, results showed that adolescent's big-five personality model affects their conflict resolution styles with their friends and peer group. In detail, the higher the neuroticism was, the stronger became the attack and avoidance strategies. The higher the extraversion was, the higher became the collaborative strategy and the lower became the attack and avoidance strategies. The higher the agreeableness was, the higher became the collaborative strategy and the lower became the attack strategy. The higher the conscientiousness was, the higher became the collaborative strategy and the lower became the avoidance strategy. The higher the openness to experience was, the higher became the collaborative strategy and the lower became the avoidance strategy. The higher the self-esteem was, the higher became the collaborative strategy and the lower became the avoidance and attack strategies. The higher the self-monitoring was, the higher became the collaborative strategy and the lower became the avoidance strategy. Secondly, the big-five personality factors also affected the adolescent's conflict resolution styles. The extraversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness positively affected the collaborative strategy. The neuroticism was positively related with the attack strategy, whereas agreeableness was negatively affected the attack strategy. The neuroticism and agreeableness were positively related with the avoidance strategy, whereas the extraversion was negatively affected the avoidance strategy. Limitations and suggestions for future study were discussed thereafter.
