초록

본 연구에서는 노스탤지어가 삶의 의미와 목적을 상실하여 정서적 고통을 경험하는 대학생의 삶의 의미, 긍정정서, 감사에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 실존적 공허 상태에 있는 대학생 38명을대상으로 노스탤지어를 유도하는 처치집단에 13명, 하루 일과를 돌아보는 비교집단에 13명, 무처치 통제집단에 12명을 배정하였다. 노스탤지어 및 하루 일과 돌아보기 활동은 평균 20일 동안 실시되었다. 참여자는 활동 시작 전과 종료 후에 삶의 의미, 긍정정서, 감사를 측정하는 설문지에응답하였다. 처치효과를 확인하기 위해 반복측정 변량분석을 실시한 결과, 노스탤지어 처치집단은 하루 일과 돌아보기 비교집단과 통제집단에 비해 삶의 의미와 감사가 유의하게 증가하였다. 그러나 긍정정서에는 유의한 증가가 발견되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 노스탤지어가 실존적 공허상태 대학생의 삶의 의미와 감사를 증진시킬 수 있는 효과적인 개입방법임을 확인하고, 노스탤지어의 치료적 활용을 제안하였다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 의의와 한계점을 살피고, 추후 연구를 제언하였다.

Abstract

The present study was conducted to examine the effects of the nostalgia on the meaning in life, positive affect, and gratitude of college students in an existential vacuum state. Participants were assigned to three groups: nostalgia group (N=13), daily events reminiscence group (N=13), and waiting-list control group (N=12). Both nostalgia and daily events reminiscence groups went through activities for an average of 20 days. Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire on the meaning in life, the positive affect and gratitude before and after activities, whereas the waiting-list control group filled out a questionnaire pretest (prior to the activity) and posttest (at the completion of activity) without any special treatment. Repeated measure ANOVA was conducted to examine the effects of nostalgia. As a result, the nostalgia group showed significant increase in the meaning in life and gratitude, as compared to the daily events reminiscence group and the control group without any activities. However, nostalgia did not have a significant effect on increasing the positive effects. This study was able to assess that nostalgia can be an effective intervention for finding meaning in life and increasing the gratitude for college students in the state of existential vacuum. Finally, we discuss the limitations of this study and suggestions for further studies.
