Abstract

This study tried to find out whether character patterns of elderly people are related to stress resistance using brain waves, personal physiological index of cranial nerves. The data were gathered by 1,108 seniors(age 65 and over) who were requested to check brain waves from September, 2007 to December, 2010 in Korean Institute for Research of Psychiatry. 552 of the subject showed the propensity to positive behavior, 556 of them showed the propensity to negative behavior. 735 of the subject showed the propensity to cheerful emotion, 373 of them showed the propensity to depressed emotion. As a result the propensity of emotion was significantly related to the stress resistance, but not the propensity of behavior. In other words, the propensity to cheerful emotion showed higher average stress resistance index than the propensity to depressed emotion. So the person who has the propensity to cheerful emotion can cope with stress better. This study shows the propensity to emotion is related to stress resistance. The influence of the propensity to emotion and how it works should to be studied.

이 연구는 노인들의 성격유형이 스트레스 저항에 미치는 영향이 있는지를 개인이 지닌 뇌신경 생리학적 지표인 뇌파 측정을 이용하여 비교하여 보았다. 대상자는 한국정신과학연구소에 2007년 9월에서 2010년 12월까지 뇌파측정을 실시한 노인(만 65세 이상)들을 기준으로 선정한 자료이며, 총 1108명이다. 행동성향의 분포도는 긍정 적극성향이 552명, 부정 소극성향이 556명이었으며, 정서성향의 분포도는 명랑(외향)성향이 735명, 우울(내향)성향이 373명이었다. 분석 결과 노인들의 행동성향과 스트레스 저항과는 무관하였으며, 정서성향과 스트레스 저항과는 (p=.000)으로 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 즉, 명랑(외향)성향이 우울(내향)성향에 비하여 항 스트레스지수에서 평균이 높게 차이가 났으며, 이는 스트레스를 이겨낼 수 있는 능력이 높다고 할 수 있겠다. 이 연구 결과 정서성향과 스트레스 저항능력이 관련이 있음을 보여주었으며 미치는 영향이나 작용기전을 규명하는 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.
