Abstract

The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of covert narcissism on life satisfaction by applying ambivalence over emotional expressiveness for adults in their 20s and 30s in Korea. To this end, a self-reported survey was conducted on 433 adults, and data was analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0. The results were as follows; First, covert narcissism had a positive correlation with the emotional expression ambivalence. Second, we were able to confirm that emotional expression falsified life satisfaction. Third, we were able to confirm that covert narcissism falsified life satisfaction. Fourth, the relationships between covert narcissism and life satisfaction as well as ambivalence and emotional expressiveness had mediating effects. Based on our results, we discussed the implications of understanding and proper emotional expression in the relationship between covert narcissism and life satisfaction of people in their 20s and 30s, which has been suppressed by identifying their role as a major parameter. In addition, this study was able to explore the causes of social problems for those in their 20s and 30s.

본 연구의 목적은 한국의 20~30대 성인을 대상으로 삶의 만족도와 밀접한 상관관계를 가지고 있는 내현적 자기애가 정서표현 양가성을 매개하여 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 이를 위해 20~30대 성인 433명을 대상으로 자기보고식 설문조사를 실시하였고, 자료분석은 SPSS 23.0과 AMOS 23.0을 사용하였다. 첫째, 내현적 자기애와 정서표현 양가성은 정적 상관관계를 나타내고 있다. 둘째, 정서표현 양가성은 삶의 만족도에 부적 영향을 미친다는 결과를 확인할 수 있었다. 셋째, 내현적 자기애는 삶의 만족도에 부적 영향을 미친다는 결과를 확인하였다. 넷째, 정서표현 양가성은 내현적 자기애와 삶의 만족도의 관계에서 매개효과를 발견할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 우리나라 20~30대들의 내현적 자기애와 삶의 만족도 간의 관계에 있어 정서표현 양가성이 주요한 매개적 변수로서의 역할 확인으로 억압해왔던 감정에 대한 이해와 적절한 정서표현의 주요한 역할에 따른 시사점을 논의하였다. 또한 20~30대를 대상으로 그들의 사회적 문제 중 한 가지인 삶의 만족도와 그 중에서도 높은 자살률을 보이는 문제의 원인 가능성을 탐색할 수 있었다는 점이 이 연구에서 의의로 볼 수 있겠다.
