대학생들의 자존감 구성요인에 있어서 문화적, 성차의 효과 = Cultural and gender differences of Korean students' self-esteem

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Cultural and gender differences of Korean students were tested in this paper. Korean Self-esteem Scale developed by Cha, Hong, Kim, & Han, 2006) and Multiple Self-esteem Indicator((MSEI) proposed by E. J. B'Brien & S. Epstein(1988) was employed to test the commonalities and differences in both gender of Korean students in study 1. Nine factors were emerged among Korean students through factor analyses: Ability, acknowledgement, self-confidence, appearance, volition, morality, body, and liking. On the other hand, 11 factors of self-esteem were identified among American students: Appearance, body function, personal power, moral self-approval, identity-integration, ability, defensive self-improvement, general self-esteem, self-control, loveability, likability. Hence, appearances, morality, ability, volition, and likability were common while approval from others of Korean and personal power and defensive self-improvement of American were distinguished between two cultures, which can be interpreted as a characteristic patterns of Korean and American as collectivism and individualism. And there was gender difference between Korean males and females on the factor components, which is a significant validation of this scale. Interdependent and independent aspects of both gender's components of self-esteem were tested in study 2. There was a significant gender gap in the independent dimension of self-esteem, but no difference was showed in the interdependent dimension. Korean male students were far more independent compared to Korean female students. Also, no gap in collective interdependence and relational interdependence, which are two sub-components of interdependence expected different in both gender, was shown between Korean male and female students. Suggestions and limitations centered on differences in interdependent dimension between both gender were discussed.
