Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of appearance stress, alcohol intake, and eating attitude on self-esteem of female undergraduate students. Participants were 150 female undergraduate students who responded to a survey conducted from March to July of 2017. Data collected were analyzed by stepwise multiple regression analysis using an IBM SPSS 23.0. The influencing factors of self-esteem were satisfaction with college life and appearance stress, and the power of the variables was 11%. The results verified that college life and appearance stress were important factors influencing self-esteem, a critical element in the personality dimension that assesses self-affirmation. Therefore, self-esteem should be improved by providing a buffer to revitalize character resources for positive self-internalization, the formation of a healthy self-image and affect regulation which can enable one to flexibly cope with situations of appearance stress. Also, external resources should be provided inside and outside of school to help university students become cognizant of an objective perspective of the various environments of college life they face, as well as to have a positive view of themselves in college life by regulating the differences between the environments they face and their individual circumstances.

본 연구는 외모스트레스, 알코올 섭취량, 이상섭식태도가 여대생의 자아존중감에 미치는 영향을 파악하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구의 총 참여자는 여대생 150명으로 2017년 3월부터 2017년 7월까지 설문조사를 시행하였다. 수집된 자료는 IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0을 이용하여 위계적 회귀 방법으로 분석하였다. 대상자의 외모스트레스 평균은 2.65점, 알코올 섭취 문제 평균은 9.6점, 이상섭식태도 평균은 2.24점, 자아존중감 평균은 29.77점으로 나타났다. 대상자의 자아존중감의 영향요인은 대학생활만족(${\beta}=-.226$, p=.026)과 외모스트레스(${\beta}=-.318$, p<.001)로 나타났으며 변수의 설명력은 11%였다. 본 연구결과를 통해 대학생활과 외모스트레스는 성격적 차원의 핵심요소인 자아존중감에 중요하게 작용하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서, 여대생들이 직면하는 다양한 대학생활 환경을 객관적인 관점에서 인지하고 직면한 환경과 개인 상황과의 차이를 조절하여 자기 자신을 긍정적으로 바라 볼 수 있도록 실질적인 외적 자원이 학 내외적으로 제공되어야 할 필요가 있다. 또한, 외모스트레스 상황에서 유연하게 대처할 수 있는 긍정적인 자기내면화 모색, 건강한 자아상 형성, 감정 조절을 위한 성격자원을 활성화시키기 위한 완충자원을 제공하여 여대생들의 자아존종감을 향상시켜야 할 것으로 사료된다.
