집합주의 문화가 청년실업에 대한 불안 지각 및 정신건강에 미치는 영향 = The Effect of Collectivism on Anxiety Perception and Mental Health in Youth Unemployment

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구의 첫 번째 목적은 집합주의적 성향이 청년들이 지각하는 취업불안에 미치는 영향을 살펴보는데 있었고, 두 번째 목적은 이러한 집합주의적 성향이 취업불안 지각에 미치는 영향에 있어서 구직효능감, 자존감 그리고 상향․하향 사회비교의 매개효과를 검증하는데 있었다. 이를 위하여 연구 1에서는 서울특별시에 소재한 상위권 A 대학과 중위권 B 대학의 대학생을 대상으로 총 179명의 응답자료를 분석에 사용하였다. 연구 결과, 집합주의적 성향을 가진 사람일수록 취업불안이 높고 취업 정신건강 수준이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 구직효능감과 자존감이 집합주의적 성향과 취업불안 간의 관계를 매개하는 것으로 드러났다. 연구 2에서는 서울특별시에 소재한 C 대학의 대학생을 대상으로 총 118명의 응답자료를 분석에 사용하였다. 연구 결과, 상향 사회비교는 집합주의적 성향과 취업불안 간의 관계를 매개한 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 하향 사회비교에서는 매개효과가 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 연구 결과를 토대로 본 연구의 시사점과 제한점, 그리고 추후 연구과제에 대해 논의하였다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The current paper examines the effect of collectivism on perceived youth unemployment anxiety as well as mental health and the mediating effects of employment self-efficacy; self-esteem; and the frequency of upward and downward social comparisons. In Study 1, data were gathered from 179 university students in upper-ranking schools and middle-ranking schools in Seoul, Korea. Our results indicated that (a) collectivism was positively correlated to, and also an significant predictor of perceived youth unemployment anxiety and mental health and (b) employment self-efficacy and self-esteem had mediating effects on the relationship between collectivism and perceived youth unemployment anxiety and mental health. In Study 2, data were gathered from 118 students in upper-ranking schools in Seoul, Korea. Our results indicated that (c) upward social comparison had mediating effects on the relationship between collectivism and perceived youth unemployment anxiety and mental health, while downward social comparison did not. The findings are discussed in terms of their general implications for understanding the importance of culture in employment seeking settings.
