초록
본 연구는 로맨틱 관계의 발전 단계에 따라 변화하는 남녀 간의 선물주기 행위를 진화심리학의관점에서 탐색하고 설명하였다. 본 연구에서 로맨틱 관계의 발전 단계는 구애기, 상호 헌신기, 여성 고투기(조정기), 그리고 안정기(또는 관계 종료)로 분류되었고, 그 관계 변화의 이유를 남성의헌신 및 배려 정도, 남성의 즐거움 생산 노력, 그리고 여성의 관계확인 욕망이라는 세 가지 변인으로 설명하였다. 20명의 여대생을 대상으로 심층 면접한 결과 예상대로 로맨틱 관계 발전 단계에 따른 남녀 간 선물주기 행위의 차이를 발견할 수 있었다. 구애기에 나타난 선물은 남성 주도의 아가페 선물, 완벽한 포용 선물, 완벽한 관심 선물, 예찬 선물이 있었고, 상호 헌신기에는 주로여성 주도의 (상대에게 주는) 독립적 시간 허용 선물, 관계유지 노력 선물과 같은 비물질적 선물과 공표 선물, 확장된 자아 선물, 좋은 파트너 선물과 같은 물질적 선물이 발견되었다. 이 후 단계에서는 서로간의 선물주기 행위가 급격히 감소하였고 체계적인 양상의 선물주기 패턴도 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구는 로맨틱 관계의 발전 단계에 따라 남녀 간의 고유한 선물주기 행위가 존재한다는 것을 이론적 관점에서 주장했다는 점과 또한 선물주기의 맥락에서 남녀 간의 서로 다른본성을 확인하고 그것에 대한 이해를 높였다는 데 의의가 있다.
Abstract
Why do gift giving behaviors occur in romantic relationship? I argue that gift giving in romantic relationship can be construed as strategic behaviors aimed to enhance each sex’s reproductive fitness. With evolutionary psychology used as the theoretical framework, gender differences in gift giving behaviors and dynamic changes in gift giving motives were investigated drawing upon four stages of romantic relationship development: Courtship, mutual commitment, women struggle(or adjustment), and equilibrium (or termination). 20 college women were depth-interviewed. As expected, the distinct types of gift giving behaviors for both sexes were revealed corresponding to the respective stage of the romantic relationship. The ultimate explanations underpinning the various types of gift giving of both sexes were provided
