Abstract

This study examined the role of trait anxiety in the relationships among academic contingencies of self-worth, self-esteem, academic help-seeking, and academic concealment. The participants were 254 male and female undergraduate students, and the analyses were conducted using PASW 18.0. The results were as follows. Anxiety was confirmed to be a mediating variable between the academic contingencies of self-worth, self-esteem, and academic concealment. That is, the academic contingencies of self-worth and self-esteem had an effect on academic concealment through anxiety. On the other hand, the academic contingencies of self-worth had a positive effect on anxiety. On the other hand, self-esteem had a negative effect on anxiety. The need to develop education and counseling approaches as a special intervention is discussed. The approaches are meant to reduce the academic self-worth and anxiety. In addition, it is important to promote self-esteem in education and counseling. The limitations and implication for further study are suggested.

본 연구는 학업적 자기가치감 수반성과 자존감이 학업장면에서 도움추구와 은폐에 각각 영향을 미치는 과정을 알아 보고 이 과정에서 특성불안이 어떠한 역할을 하는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 258명의 대학생을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였고 254명의 자료가 최종적으로 분석에 사용되었다. 자료 분석은 PASW WIN 18.0을 사용하였으며 상관분석과 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 첫째 학업적 자기가치감 수반성은 불안 및 학업도움추구, 은폐와 정적 상관을 보였으나 자존감과는 부적 상관을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 자존감은 학업적 도움추구와는 정적 상관을 보였고 은폐 및 불안과는 부적 상관을 보였다. 둘째 학업적 자기가치감 수반성과 자존감은 불안을 매개로 하여 은폐에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 학업적 자기가치감 수반성과 자존감이 은폐에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 학업적 자기가치감 수반성은 불안을 높임으로써 은폐에 정적으로 영향을 미치는 반면, 자존감은 불안을 낮춤으로써 은폐에 부적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 학업적 자기가치감 수반성과 자존감이 학업장면에서 도움추구 및 은폐에 영향을 미친다는 점, 이 과정을 불안이 매개한다는 점, 학업적 자기가치감 수반성과 자존감이 불안에 미치는 서로 다른 영향을 경험적으로 밝혔다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 학교상담 및 교육장면에서 본 연구의 시사점을 논의하였고 제한점과 후속 연구의 필요성을 제안하였다.
