Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between job-seeking stress and somatization symptoms and to explore the mediating effects of maladaptive self-focused and emotional dysregulation in college students. The SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 were performed to analyze the path relationship between variables. First, maladaptive self-focused mediated the relationship between job-seeking stress and somatization symptoms. Emotional dysregulation mediated the relationship between job-seeking stress and somatization symptoms. Second, maladaptive self-focused and emotional dysregulation partial dual mediated the relationship between job-seeking stress and somatization symptoms. It suggests that college students with job-seeking stress tend to be maladaptive self-focused, therefore they have difficulty in emotion regulation and eventually expose somatization symptoms.

본 연구는 대학생의 취업스트레스가 신체화 증상에 미치는 영향을 확인하고, 부적응적 자기초점주의와 정서조절곤란이 취업스트레스와 신체화 증상의 관계를 매개하는지 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 각 측정 변인 간의 경로 관계를 분석하기 위해 SPSS 21.0과 AMOS 21.0을 사용하였다. 첫째, 취업스트레스가 신체화 증상에 미치는 경로에서 부적응적 자기초점주의가 유의한 매개효과가 나타났으며, 취업스트레스가 신체화 증상에 미치는 경로에서 정서조절곤란의 유의한 매개효과가 나타났다. 둘째, 취업스트레스가 신체화 증상에 미치는 경로에서 부적응적 자기초점주의와 정서조절곤란이 순차적으로 매개하는 부분이중매개효과가 확인되었다. 이는 취업스트레스를 호소하는 대학생은 부적응적 자기초점주의 성향을 보이며 이로 인해 정서조절의 어려움을 겪게 되며 결국 신체화 증상을 드러낼 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.
