Abstract

This research examined the relation between personal history of residential moves and psychological independence. In particular, this research tested how actual self-importance (vis-a-vis perceived social importance) of values (Study 1) and preference for uniqueness (Study 2) would vary as a function of past experience of moving. The results showed that personal history of residential moves was positively linked to actual self-importance of individualistic values and perceived social importance of collectivistic values. In addition, the results demonstrated that individuals with frequent residential moves generally showed a greater liking for uniqueness. The implications of these results for the direction of causation between residential mobility and psychological independence are discussed and suggestions for future research are made.

전 지구적으로 주거 이동이 활발해짐에 따라 주거 유동성의 심리사회적 영향에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 국내에서는 아직까지 이에 관한 연구가 본격적으로 이루어지지 않았다. 이에 주목하여 본 연구에서는 개인의 거주지 이전 경험과 심리적 독립성의 관계를 조명하고자 하였다. 구체적으로, 이 연구에서는 개인의 주거 이동 경험에 따라 가치의 실제 자기 중요도 대 지각된 사회적 중요도(연구 1)와 독특성에 대한 선호도(연구 2)가 어떻게 달라지는지 검증하였다. 그 결과, 주거 이동을 빈번하게 경험하였던 사람들일수록 자신이 타인에 비하여 개인주의적인 가치들은 더 중요하게, 집단주의적인 가치들은 덜 중요하게 여긴다고 지각하며, 독특성을 더욱 강하게 선호한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로, 본 연구의 결과가 주거 유동성과 심리적 독립성의 관계에서 영향의 방향에 관하여 가지는 함의를 논하고 후속 연구 방향을 제안하였다.
