Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the moderating effect of counseling class experience on the relationship between an undergraduate's personality characteristics, emotional intelligence, and empathic ability. As a result of verification, having course experience has a moderating effect on empathic abilities, reversing agreeableness from positive into negative. It also has a moderating effect on the influence of empathic concern, making that of an extravert positively significant. The experience of taking a course did not show a moderating effect on emotional intelligence that can be improved by learning. This demonstrates that education in counseling as carried out in universities is inappropriate, and course experience enhances empathic concern only when the student tends to be an extrovert. This implies that the current counseling system is a curriculum suitable for extroverted people. Also, when students have a friendly, amicable tendency, the experience of taking a course lowered empathic ability. This means that an amicable tendency is not a variable influencing educational experience, and that the present curriculum needs to be diversified. Although it is hard to provide a curriculum customized for each individual's characteristics, this study holds significance in emphasizing diversity in the curriculum to allow students to choose a small-group class or the lecture method based on personality or individual tendency.

본 연구는 대학생의 성격특성과 감성지능, 공감능력의 관계에 상담수강경험이 조절효과를 나타내는지를 알아보는 데 목적이 있다. 연구대상은 4년제 대학의 대학생 313명이며, 가설 검증을 위한 통계적 분석방법으로 3단계 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 대학생의 성격특성과 감성지능관계에서 상담수강경험은 긍정적인 조절효과를 나타내지 않았다. 상담수강경험은 우호적 성향이 공감능력에 미치는 정적 영향을 부적으로 반전시키는 조절효과를 나타냈으며, 외향적 성향이 공감적 관심에 미치는 영향을 정적으로 유의하게 만드는 조절효과를 나타냈다. 학습에 의해 향상될 수 있는 감성지능과는 상담수강경험이 조절효과를 나타내지 못하므로 현재 대학에서 실시하고 있는 상담교육의 효과성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 외향적 성향일 경우에만 상담수강경험이 공감적 관심을 높여주는 것으로 나타났다. 이것을 통해 현재 상담교육은 외향적 사람에게 잘 맞는 커리큘럼일 것이라는 해석이 가능하며, 오히려 우호적 성향인 경우 상담수강경험이 공감능력을 떨어뜨리는 것으로 나타났다는 것은 우호적 성향 자체가 교육 경험에 영향을 미치지 않는 변수이거나 현재 커리큘럼을 다양화해야 한다는 것을 나타낸다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 개인의 성격특성에 맞는 커리큘럼을 제공해야 한다는 것이 현실적으로 어려운 일이긴 하지만, 성격별 소그룹 수업이나 각각의 성향에 맞는 수업 방식을 스스로 선택하도록 커리큘럼의 다양성을 부각시켰다는 것에 본 연구의 의의를 찾을 수 있다.
