Abstract

Among many other factors associated with anger expressions and problem behaviors, the effect of temperament has not been much investigated in adolescents. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between temperament and problem behaviors in adolescents, and whether dysfunctional anger expressions mediated this relation. A total of 360 students in either middle or high school participated but only data from 354 surveys were analyzed. We found that temperament was associated with dysfunctional anger expressions and problem behaviors, and the relationship between temperament and problem behaviors was mediated by dysfunctional anger expressions. Temperament adaptability was shown to be negatively related with dysfunctional anger expressions and problem behaviors, while temperament approach was shown to be positively related with anger-out expression and externalized problem behaviors. This study suggests that appropriate intervention of anger related issues in adolescents considering their temperament should is needed.

분노표현 및 문제행동에 영향을 미치는 많은 요인들 중, 청소년의 기질이 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대한 연구는 비교적 적은 편이다. 따라서, 본 연구는 청소년의 기질과 문제행동 간의 관계를 연구하고, 역기능적 분노표현이 이러한 관계를 매개하는지 알아보고자 하였다. 360명의 중,고등학생이 연구에 참여하였지만, 354개의 설문 조사 데이터가 분석되었다. 연구결과 기질은 역기능적 분노표현과 문제행동과 관련이 있으며 기질과 문제행동간의 관계는 역기능적 분노표현에 의해 매개된다는 것으로 나타났다. 기질 적응성은 역기능적 분노표현 및 문제행동과 부적으로 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났고, 기질 접근은 분노표출과 외현적 문제행동과 정적으로 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 청소년의 기질을 고려해서 분노 관련 문제에 대한 적절한 개입이 필요함을 시사한다.
