Abstract

Recent studies have investigated anger or anger-related problems in adolescents from various perspectives. However, understanding of anger expression types or the role of mediating variables in relation to anger and anger expressions have been disregarded. The purpose of this research was to understand the relationships between adolescents' anger, problem solving ability, and three types of anger expressions (anger-in, anger-out, anger-control) and to focus on the mediator function of problem-solving ability. Participants comprised 596 adolescents (283 males and 313 females). Anger was significantly related to all three types of anger expressions. Adolescents who showed high anger levels tended to indicate high anger-in and anger-out expressions but low anger-control expression, while controlling for age and gender. The findings also provided evidence for the mediator role of problem-solving ability on the relationship between anger and anger-control expression. From the results of this study suggestions and limitations were also discussed.

최근 청소년 분노 및 분노와 관련된 문제행동에 관한 연구들이 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 하지만 분노표현 방식에 대한 이해나 청소년 분노와 분노표현 관계에서 매개효과에 대한 연구는 거의 부재하다. 본 연구는 청소년의 분노, 문제해결능력, 분노표현유형(분노억제, 분노표출, 분노통제)과의 관계를 증명하고 이 관계에서 문제해결능력의 매개효과를 검증하고자 한다. 연구분석을 위해 총 596명(남학생 283명, 여학생 313명)의 청소년설문이 활용되었다. 연구결과 분노는 3가지 분노유형 모두와 유의미한 관계가 있음이 증명되었다. 분노가 높을수록 분노억제와 분노표출이 증가하였으나, 분노통제는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 분노와 분노표현유형과의 관계에서 문제해결의 매개효과 검증결과, 분노와 분노통제 관계에서만 문제해결의 매개효과가 증명되었다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 제언과 연구한계 등을 논의하였다.
