초록

이 연구는 작업기억과 사회인지능력 사이의 관계 및 이야기의 이용이 사회인지 능력에 미치는 영향을 탐구하고자 했다. 이를 위해 연구참여자 82명에 대해 작업기업(n-back)을 측정한 다음, 사회인지 부하로서의 지향성 수준(5차 지향성 대 3차 지향성)을 달리한 이야기 및 설명문 등 3개 집단에 무작위로 배치해 사회인지능력으로서 관점채택과 감정추론 정확성을 비교분석했다. 분석결과 관점채택은 작업기억과 유의한 정비례의 관계가 나타났다. 반면 감정추론은 작업기억과 유의한 관계가 나타나지 않았다. 실험집단별 차이는 연구가설과는 반대로 인지부하가 가장 높은 5차지향성 이야기집단의 관점채택이 인지부하가 낮은 3차지향성 이야기집단의 관점채택보다 유의하게 낮았다. 설명문 집단과는 2종의 이야기 집단 모두 유의한 차이가 없었다. 감정추론은 3개 집단 사이에 모두 유의한 차이가 없었다. 전체적으로 이 연구는 일관되지 않은 결과가 나타났는데, 이에 대한 이론 및 방법론적 의의에 대한 논의를 제시했다.

This study was to examine association between working memory and social cognitive ability, and the influence of story-use on social cognitive ability. To this end, this study measured working memory(via n-back), and randomly assigned 82 participants into three groups(5th level intentionality, 3rd-level intentionality, and exposition conditions), and then compared the accuracy of perspective taking and emotion recognition(RMET: Reading Minds in the Eyes Test) as social cognitive ability. The results suggested that perspective taking accuracy was significantly associated with working memory capacity, whereas emotion recognition accuracy was not. Contrary to the hypothesis, perspective taking in the 5th-level intentionality story group were significantly lower than those in the 3rd-level intentionality story group. Emotions recognition accuracy was not significantly different among the three groups. Overall, this study produced inconsistent results, which has been discussed in terms of theory and methods.
