자기자비 글쓰기 프로그램이 대학생의 사회불안에 미치는 영향: 자기비난, 자기개념 명확성, 사회비교경향성을 중심으로

초록

This study examined the effects of a self-compassion writing program on social anxiety of college students. Furthermore, the program's effects on self-criticism, self-concept clarity, and social comparison tendency were examined to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between self-compassion and self-concept. 42 participants with social anxiety were randomly assigned to one of two groups: treatment (n=22) or wait-list control (n=20). The treatment group completed a writing task for 15 to 20 minutes once a day for six days. Pre- and post-treatment measurements were taken, and a two-week follow-up assessment was performed. The survey was completed by the wait-list control group at the same time as the treatment group. As a result, when compared to the control group, the treatment group demonstrated significantly higher levels of self-compassion and lower levels of social anxiety and self-criticism. These effects were maintained at the follow-up assessment. There was no significant difference in self-concept clarity or social comparison tendency. The implications, limitations, and future research directions were discussed.
