Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of adolescent's self-esteem and psychological separation from parents on their interpersonal competence. The study sample consisted of 625 high school students in Seoul, Korea who completed a self-administered questionnaire. The data were analyzed using t-tests, correlations, and hierarchical regression analysis. The main findings were as follows. First, the level of interpersonal competence differed by gender. Second, a higher level of interpersonal competence among adolescents was significantly correlated with a higher level of adolescent's positive self-esteem, lower level of adolescent's negative self-esteem, and higher level of psychological separation. Third, positive self-esteem was the most significant predictor of adolescents' interpersonal competence, followed by parent's regulation. Overall, the results suggest that self-esteem is very important to promote positive interpersonal competence among adolescents. Therefore, programs to address such issues are strongly needed.

본 연구는 청소년의 개인 내적 변인인 자아존중감과 부모-자녀 관계 요인인 부모와의 심리적 분리정도가 대인관계 유능성에 영향을 미치는 영향을 살펴보는데 목적이 있다. 연구대상은 서울시에 위치하는 고등학교 5곳의 2학년생을 임의표집하였으며, 배포된 650명의 설문지 중 625명의 설문지가 최종 분석자료로 사용되었다. 자료분석을 위해 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 차이검증, 상관분석과 중다회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 성별에 따른 청소년의 대인관계 유능성의 차이를 살펴 본 결과, 남학생이 여학생보다 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 청소년의 자아존중감, 부모와의 심리적 분리정도와 대인관계 유능성의 관계는 청소년의 긍정적 자아존중감이 높을수록, 부정적 자아존중감이 낮을수록, 부모와의 심리적 분리정도가 높을수록 청소년의 대인관계 유능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 청소년의 자아존중감과 부모와의 심리적 분리정도가 대인관계 유능성에 미치는 상대적 영향력은 긍정적 자아존중감과 부모와의 심리적 분리정도 중 통제가 청소년의 대인관계 유능성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구는 청소년의 대인관계 유능성을 높이기 위한 방향을 제시하고 그에 따른 프로그램을 구성하는 데 활용할 근거를 제공하였다는 점에 의의가 있다.
