Abstract

The traditional Korean society has been classified as an Eastern collectivist culture, but in the flow of globalization and digitalization along with the post-Cold War era of the 1970s, Western individualistic culture and values quickly permeated the Korean younger generation. Since rapid changes occurred within a short period of time, there may be differences in cultural self-construal between generations living in the same era. Due to this, psychological problems related to emotional expression and suppression may appear differently depending on generations. Therefore, in the current study, 1,000 Korean adult men and women from their 20s to 60s were investigated for their level of independent and interdependent self-construal, alexithymia, ambivalence over emotional expression(AEE) and emotional suppression(ES). Then the relationship between the variables(self-construal and alexithymia,) and the mediating process of AEE and ES were examined. The generation of participants were divided into the industrialization cohort (birth year < 1970) and the digitalization cohort (birth year starting from 1970). Using the PROCESS macro(Hayes, 2022), we tested a serial mediation model of AEE and ES between the relative independent self-construal(RIS) and alexithymia. The results indicate that the level of alexithymia increases by the serial increase of AEE and ES when RIS decreases. Next, we examined a moderation effect of generatione on the mediation process of AEE and ES, and found that generation moderates the relationship between ES and alexithymia. That is, the effect of ES on alexithymia is significant for the digitalization cohort, while it is not significant for the industrialization cohort. The current results imply that emotion regulation strategies of Koreans have been differently developed according to prevailing cultural values in each generation, and that the negative influence of emotion suppression could be different according to the cultural background of each generation.

전통적인 한국 사회는 동양의 집단주의 문화권으로 분류되어 왔지만, 1970년대 탈냉전과 더불어 세계화와 정보화의 흐름 속에 서양의 개인주의 문화와 가치가 젊은 층을 중심으로 한국 사회에 빠르게 스며들었다. 짧은 시기에 급변했기 때문에, 동시대를 살아가는 세대 간에 문화적 자기관의 차이가 있을 수 있으며, 이로 인해 감정표현 및 억제와 관련된 심리적 문제가 세대에 따라 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 20대에서 60대에 이르는 한국인 성인 남녀 1000명을 대상으로 개인의 문화적 자기관과 감정표현불능 수준, 그리고 정서표현양가성과 정서억제 수준을 조사하여, 상호협조적 자기관, 상호독립적 자기관 및 감정표현불능증의 관계, 그리고 그것을 매개하는 정서표현양가성 및 정서억제의 과정을 살펴보았다. 그리고 연구대상자의 출생연도를 기준으로 산업화 세대(1970년 이전 출생)와 정보화 세대(1970년 이후 출생)로 구분하고, 각 변인의 세대 차이와 정서표현양가성과 정서억제의 매개 과정에 대한 세대의 조절 효과를 검증하였다. Hayes(2022)의 PROCESS macro를 이용하여 분석한 결과, 첫째 문화적 자기관의 상대적 독립성(상호협조적 자기관에 비하여 상호독립적 자기관이 높은 정도를 계산한 값)이 정서표현양가성과 정서억제를 연속매개하여 감정표현불능증에 영향을 주는 연속매개모형이 유의하였다. 이는 개인의 상대적 독립성이 약할수록 정서표현양가성과 정서억제 수준이 순차적으로 높아져서 감정표현불능 수준이 높아짐을 의미한다. 다음으로 연속매개모형에서 세대의 조절효과를 탐색한 결과, 정서억제에서 감정표현불능증으로 가는 경로를 세대 변인이 조절하였다. 산업화 세대의 경우 정서억제 수준이 높아도 감정표현불능 수준이 높아지지 않는 반면, 정보화 세대는 정서억제 수준이 높을수록 감정표현불능증의 수준이 높아짐을 의미한다. 본 연구 결과는 세대의 문화적 가치관에 따라 정서조절방략이 다르게 형성되었을 가능성을 시사하며, 정서억제처럼 역기능적인 정서조절방략이라 할지라도 자신이 속한 세대의 문화적 배경에 따라 그것의 부정적인 영향력이 다를 수 있음을 함의한다.
