대학생의 내면화된 수치심이 관계적 공격성에 미치는 영향에서 우울의 매개효과

Abstract

This study examined how depression mediated the effects of internalized shame on relational aggression among university students. Questionnaires based on the internalized shame scale, relational aggression scale, and depression scale were distributed to university students in Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Busan, Daegu, Ulsan, Gyeongsang, Daejeon, Sejong, Chungcheong, Gwangju, Jeolla, and Jeju. A total of 432 valid responses were used in the final analysis. Each variable was set as a research model and as a competition model based on the collected data. SPSS 28.0 was used for the correlation analysis of each variable. Additionally, AMOS 18.0 was used to verify the effect of depression by setting up a model that would best explain the effects of internalized shame on relational aggression. The results of the study are as follows: First, a positive correlation was noted between university students' internalized shame and depression. Second, a significant positive correlation was observed between university students' depression and relational aggression. Third, depression was found to indirectly influence the effect of university students' internalized shame on relational aggression. Based on the above findings, the significance, limitations, and implications of this study for further research are discussed.
