Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of help-seeking and concealment in the relationship between perfectionism, depression, and anxiety. The participants were 252 university students, and analyses were conducted using PASW 18.0 and Amos 8.0. Help-seeking was confirmed to be a mediating variable between self-oriented perfectionism, depression, and anxiety. That is, self-oriented perfectionism had an effect on depression and anxiety through help-seeking. Also, concealment was a partially mediating variable between socially prescribed perfectionism, depression, and anxiety. The need to develop counseling and education approaches as a special intervention is discussed. The approaches are meant to reduce socially prescribed perfectionism and concealment. Limitations and implications for further study are suggested.

본 연구는 완벽주의와 학업장면에서 도움추구 및 은폐가 부정적 정서에 어떠한 과정을 거쳐서 영향을 미치는지 변인들 간의 경로를 규명하여 경로모형을 검증하고, 이 과정에서 위험 예측과 이득 예측의 역할을 살펴보고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 완벽주의를 자기지향 완벽주의와 사회부과 완벽주의로 구분하였고, 부정적 정서로는 우울과 불안을 상정하여 연구를 실시하였다. 이를 위해 300명의 대학생을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였으며 회수된 268부 중에서 불성실하게 응답한 13부를 제외하여 최종 252부를 가지고 SPSS 18.0과 Amos 8.0으로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 학업에서 도움추구는 자기지향 완벽주의와 우울 및 불안을 완전 매개하고, 은폐는 사회부과 완벽주의와 우울 및 불안을 부분 매개하는 것으로 하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 자기지향 완벽주의는 도움추구를 통해 우울 및 불안에 부적으로 영향을 미치는 반면, 사회부과 완벽주의는 직접 또는 은폐를 거쳐 우울 및 불안에 부적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과를 중심으로 자기지향 완벽주의의 긍정적 측면을 밝힘과 동시에 적극적인 도움을 청하고, 은폐를 줄임으로써 우울 및 불안을 낮추는 개입의 필요성을 제언하였고, 제한점과 후속 연구의 필요성을 제안하였다.
