The results of this study found that the subjects average scores in terms of ego-resilience, positive affect, negative affect, military life stress were 3.11, 3.16, 2.26 and 1.94 points, respectively. The factors of ego-resilience and positive affect showed significantly positive correlation, but the factors of negative affect and military life stress showed some negative correlation. The ego-resilience indirectly influence on the subjects' military life stress through the positive and the negative affect, not directly influenced on them. And the positive and the negative affects directly influenced on the subjects' military life stress. Therefore it needs to reduce soldiers' military life stress by developing a program to enhance soldiers' ego-resilience and to do more positive emotional experiences.

본 연구는 공군병사의 자아탄력성, 정적 정서, 부적 정서가 군 생활 스트레스에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 시도된 서술조사 연구로 공군 병사 321명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 연구결과 대상자의 자아탄력성 평균점수는 3.11점, 정적 정서 평균점수는 3.46점, 부적 정서 평균 점수는 2.26점, 군 생활 스트레스 평균 점수는 1.94점이었다. 자아탄력성과 정적 정서는 유의하게 정적 상관관계를 나타내며, 부적 정서 및 군 생활 스트레스와는 부적 상관관계로 나타났다. 자아탄력성은 군 생활 스트레스에 직접적인 영향을 미치지는 않지만 정적 정서와 부적 정서를 통해 간접적으로 영향을 미치며, 정적 정서와 부적 정서는 군 생활 스트레스에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 자아탄력성을 높여주고, 정적 정서 경험을 많이 할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하여 부적 정서 및 군 생활 스트레스를 감소시킬 필요가 있다.
