국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 초등학교 교사의 낙관성과 정서조절양식 및 심리적 안녕감의 관계를 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 연구를 위해 부산광역시의 초등학교 교사 340명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, SPSS 12.0을 사용하여 T-test, one-way ANOVA, 상관분석, 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 초등교사의 인구통계학적 변인(성별, 연령, 근무경력)에 따라 낙관성과 정서조절양식의 하위요인 및 심리적 안녕감 간의 관계에서 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 둘째, 낙관성과 심리적 안녕감, 정서조절양식과 심리적 안녕감 간의 관계는 정적인 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 정서조절양식 중 능동적 양식과 회피분산적 양식은 심리적 안녕감에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 심리적 안녕감에 영향을 미치는 것은 낙관성이며, 낙관성과 정서조절양식의 하위변인인 능동적 양식과 회피분산적 양식이 결합될수록 심리적 안녕감을 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 이러한 연구결과들의 함의와 연구의 한계 및 추후연구를 위한 제안 등에 대해 논의 하였다.
