Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effect of perceived parental empathy in the relationship between adolescent depression and eat problem. For this purpose, we conducted a hierarchical regression analysis for 246 middle and high school boys in the K region. As a result, the relationship between eating problem and depression was controlled by parental sympathy. As a result of analyzing the moderating effects of sub- factors of parental sympathy, in the case of the father, awareness of emotion, cold emotional reaction, and excessive emotional reaction showed moderating effects. And in mothers, awareness of emotion, perspective taking, cold emotional reaction, and excessive emotional reaction moderated the relationship between eating problem and depression. It is significant that this study confirmed that the empathy of parents perceived by adolescents is a control variable to mitigate the adverse effects of depression on eating problems.

본 연구는 남자 청소년의 섭식문제와 우울, 부모 공감의 관계를 알아보고 청소년의 섭식문제와 우울의 관계에서 부모 공감의 조절효과를 알아보았다. 이를 위해 K지역 소재 중, 고등학교 남학생 246명에 대해 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 섭식문제와 우울간의 관계는 부모 공감에 의해 조절되는 것으로 나타났다. 부모 공감의 하위요인들의 조절효과를 분석한 결과 아버지의 경우 정서 지각, 냉담정서반응, 과민정서반응이 조절효과를 보였고, 어머니의 경우 정서지각, 관점수용, 냉담정서반응, 과민정서반응이 섭식문제와 우울 간의 관계를 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구는 청소년이 지각하는 부모의 공감이 우울과 섭식문제의 관계에서 부정적 영향을 완화시킬 수 있는 조절변인임을 확인하였다는데 의의가 있다.
