Abstract

This study aims to investigate the differences in burnout, emotional labor strategies, affect intensity, and emotional clarity based on combinations of level of mindfulness and compassion. To achieve this, a total of 137 mental health professionals participated in this study, and they were classified into four groups based on their level of mindfulness and compassion using cluster analysis. Then, the differences among the groups were compared. The results of the multivariate analysis of covariance(MANCOVA) or multivariate analysis of variance(MANOVA) controlling for career experience, showed that the group with high levels of both mindfulness and compassion had the highest levels of positive affect intensity, emotional clarity for self and others, and genuine expression, while having the lowest levels of negative affect intensity, surface acting, and burnout. In comparison to the group with high levels of both mindfulness and compassion, the group with high or low level of either mindfulness or compassion had both positive and negative affect intensity at higher or lower levels. Additionally, they showed lower emotional clarity for self and others, and genuine expression. Conversely, they showed higher levels of surface acting and burnout. The group with low levels of both mindfulness and compassion experienced low levels of positive affect intensity and high levels of negative affect intensity. They also had the lowest levels of emotional clarity for self and others and genuine expression. In addition, they showed that the highest levels of surface acting, and burnout. Based on the results, the study discussed the balanced development of mindfulness and compassion to prevent burnout of professionals in the human service field, including mental health professionals. The implications and limitations of this study were further analyzed in the discussion section, including the direction for future research.

본 연구의 목적은 마음챙김과 자비심 수준 조합에 따른 직무소진, 정서노동 수행방식, 정서강도, 정서명료성에서의 차이를 밝히는 것이다. 이를 위해 137명의 심리 전문가가 참여하였고, 마음챙김과 자비심 수준에 대한 군집분석을 통해 네 집단으로 분류한 후 집단 간 차이를 비교하였다. 경력을 통제한 다변량공분산분석 또는 다변량분산분석을 실시하여 분석한 결과, 마음챙김과 자비심이 모두 높은 집단은 긍정 정서강도, 자기와 타인의 정서명료성, 진심표현이 가장 높았고, 부정 정서강도, 표면행동, 직무소진이 가장 낮았다. 마음챙김과 자비심 중 어느 하나의 요인이 상대적으로 높거나 낮은 집단은 마음챙김과 자비심이 모두 높은 집단과 비교해서 긍정 및 부정 정서강도를 모두 높은 수준으로 경험하거나 모두 낮은 수준으로 경험하고, 자기 및 타인의 정서에 대한 명료성과 진심표현은 상대적으로 더 낮았으며, 표면행동과 직무소진은 상대적으로 더 높게 나타났다. 마음챙김과 자비심이 모두 낮은 집단은 긍정 정서강도는 낮게, 부정정서강도는 높게 경험하고, 자기 및 타인 정서명료성, 진심표현이 가장 낮았으며, 표면행동과 직무소진은 가장 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 심리 전문가를 비롯한 휴먼서비스 전문가의 직무소진을 예방하기 위해 마음챙김과 자비심의 균형 있는 계발을 논의하고, 연구의 의미와 제한점, 후속 연구의 방향성을 제시하였다.
