초록

본 연구는 독립된 성인으로 본격적인 사회 진출을 앞두고 있는 대학생들이 사회의 불공정성에 무력감을 느끼고 좌절하며 적응의 어려움을 겪는 현실에 주목하였다. 이에 세상이 자신에게 공정하다고 지각하는 개인적 공정세상신념이 대학생의 정신적 안녕감으로 이어지는 구체적 기제를 이해하고자 감사 및 친구/모르는 타인에 대한 친사회적 행동의 매개효과에 초점을 맞추었다. 서울, 충남, 전남 지역 대학생 154명의 자기보고식 설문자료를 분석한 결과, 개인적 공정세상신념은 감사와 정신적 안녕감을 직접 정적으로 예측하였으며, 개인적 공정세상신념과 정신적 안녕감의 관계에서 감사의 단순매개효과가 유의하였다. 또한 개인적 공정세상신념이 감사의 증가와 모르는 타인에 대한 친사회적 행동 증가를 순차적으로 거쳐 정신적 안녕감을 설명하는 이중매개효과도 유의하였다. 한편, 친사회적 행동(친구/모르는 타인)의 단순매개효과, 감사와 친구에 대한 친사회적 행동의 이중매개효과는 유의하지 않았다. 본 연구는 개인적 공정세상신념이 정신적 안녕감을 예측하는 구체적 기제를 검증하여 대학생의 정신적 안녕감 증진을 위한 개입 시사점을 얻었다는 의의가 있다.

Abstract

To explore the mechanism between personal belief in a just world and mental wellbeing, this study focused on the mediating effects of gratitude and prosocial behavior toward friends/strangers. For this purpose, self-reported data of 154 college students in Seoul, Chungnam, and Jeonnam were analyzed. As a result, personal belief in a just world positively predicted gratitude and mental wellbeing. The mediating effect of gratitude was also significant. Furthermore, the double mediation effect of gratitude and prosocial behavior toward strangers was significant. However, neither the mediating effect of prosocial behavior toward friends/strangers, nor the double mediation effect of gratitude and prosocial behavior toward friends was significant. This study is of note in that it verified the mechanism by which personal belief in a just world predicts mental wellbeing. In particular, it was interesting to see that prosocial behavior has different effects on mental wellbeing depending on its targets. Implications for intervention to improve mental wellbeing of college students were discussed.
