Abstract

Objectives This study was conducted to find out the mediating effect of shame and self-acceptance in the relationship between emotional recognition clarity and subjective well-being of adults. Methods 428 general adults living in Seoul and Gyeonggi were surveyed using the emotional recognition clarity scale, subjective well-being scale, shame scale, and self-acceptance scale. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were conducted for major variables, and the following analysis procedure was conducted using SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 20.0, which are statistical analysis package programs that significantly mediate shame and self-acceptance between emotional recognition clarity and subjective well-being. Results As a result of data analysis, first, emotional recognition clarity had a negative correlation with shame, and a positive correlation with self-acceptance and subjective well-being. Shame had a negative correlation with self-acceptance and subjective well-being, and self-acceptance had a positive correlation with subjective well-being. Second, it was found that shame partially mediated the relationship between emotional recognition clarity and subjective well-being. Third, it was found that self-acceptance partially mediated the relationship between emotional recognition clarity and subjective well-being. Fourth, it was found that shame and self-acceptance sequentially double-mediated the relationship between emotional recognition clarity and subjective well-being. Conclusions The results of this study suggest that the higher the tendency to pursue emotional awareness clarity of adults, the lower the shame, and the lower the level of shame, the higher self-acceptance, which can act as a factor to promote subjective well-being. This is meaningful in that it was possible to confirm the need for therapeutic intervention of counseling to alleviate negative emotional pain that may appear in the process of pursuing subjective well-being and to maintain positive emotions and well-being in life.
