Abstract

The purpose of this research is to verify the mediation effect of emotional regulation on the relationship between social anxiety and relational aggression in higher-grade elementary school girls. The research was conducted with 177 female students in grades 4, 5, and 6 attending an elementary school in Inchon, South Korea, and the results were used as a social anxiety scale, an emotional regulation ability scale, and a relational aggression scale. From using the data for multiple regression analysis, the results of this study are as follows. First, social anxiety showed a significant negative correlation with emotional regulation, and showed a significant positive correlation with relational aggression. Emotional regulation and social anxiety showed a significant negative correlation with relational aggression. Second, emotional regulation was fully mediated from the effect of social anxiety on relational aggression. Third, as a result of verifying the mediating effects from subordinate factors of emotional regulation on the relationship between social anxiety and relational aggression, positive emotional regulation, such as problem-centered coping support seeking was found to be partially mediated, whereas negative emotional regulation, such as emotional divergence, aggressive expression, and avoidance, was found to be fully mediated. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study are discussed.

본 연구에는 초등학교 고학년 여학생의 사회불안이 관계적 공격성에 미치는 영향에서 정서조절능력이 매개하는지 검증해보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 인천지역 초등학교 4, 5, 6학년 여학생 177명을 대상으로 사회불안척도, 정서조절능력척도, 관계적 공격성 척도를 사용하였다. 자료 분석은 다중회귀분석을 실시하였으며 매개효과의 유의성을 검증하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 초등학교 고학년 여학생의 사회불안은 관계적 공격성과 정적 상관을, 정서조절능력 전체 및 하위요인인 문제 중심적 대처 지지추구의 긍정적 절서조절과는 부적 상관을 감정발산, 공격적 표현, 회피와 같은 부정적 절서조절과는 정적 상관을, 정서조절능력은 관계적 공격성과 부적상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 초등학교 고학년 여학생의 사회불안이 관계적 공격성에 미치는 영향에서 정서조절능력이 완전매개 하였다. 셋째, 사회불안이 관계적 공격성에 미치는 영향에서 정서조절능력의 하위요인별 매개효과를 검증한 결과, 문제 중심적 대처 지지 추구와 같은 긍정적 정서조절은 부분 매개를, 감정발산, 공격적 표현과 회피와 같은 부정적 정서조절은 완전 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 이론적 함의와 초등상담의 실천적 함의 및 한계점과 추후 연구방향을 제시하였다.
