초록

본 연구에서는 두 개의 실험연구를 통해 질투와 존경의 이득을 자기향상의 동기화와 정보처리의 측면에서 비교하고, 작업기억용량의 개인차가 정서조절에 영향을 주는지를 분석하였다. 연구 1에서는 참가자(N=38)들의 작업기억용량을 측정한 후, 질투나 존경 중의 한 가지 조건에서 자신의 경험을 생생하게 머릿속에 떠올려보게 하였다. 그 결과 질투조건에서는 존경조건보다 타인의 우월성을 합당하다고 인식하는 정도가 낮게 나타났다. 또한 질투조건에서는 작업기억용량이 높을수록 행복감이 높았으며, 불안이 증가할수록 자기향상을 위한 학습시간을 증가시키려는 경향이 나타났다. 반면 존경조건에서는 작업기억용량과 정서, 학습시간과의 관계가 유의하지 않았다. 연구 2(N=43)에서는 참가자들의 작업기억용량을 측정한 후, 질투/존경/통제조건에서 질투시나리오에 대한 회상을 비교하였다. 그 결과 질투조건에서 존경/통제조건보다 시나리오 회상율이 더 높게 나타났다. 또한 질투조건에서는 참가자의 작업기억용량이 높을수록 불안을 더 적게 느꼈고, 정확회상율이 더 높았던 데 비해, 존경/통제조건에서는 작업기억용량, 불안 및 회상율과의 관계가 유의하지 않았다. 이 결과는 질투가 정보처리과정에서 중요한 역할을 할 가능성을 보여주며, 작업기억용량이 정서조절능력과 관계있음을 시사한다.

Abstract

In two experiments, we compared envy with admiration in attentional and motivational benefits. In addition, we tested whether individual differences in working memory capacity (WMC) have consequences for emotion regulation. In Study 1, following WMC tasks, the participants were primed either with envy or with admiration through a recall task, in which they had to recall their own experiences about envy or admiration. The participants in the envy condition considered it more undeserved that another person had an advantage over them, than in the admiration condition. Additionally, in the envy condition, WMC was related to happiness, and anxiety was related to the motivation to study more. In contrast, there were no significant relationships between WMC, emotion and study hours in the admiration condition. Study 2 (N=43) found greater memory for the envy scenario in the envy condition than in the admiration and in the control condition. Additionally, there were significant relationships between WMC, anxiety and recall accuracy in the envy condition. However, these relations were not found in the admiration and in the control condition. Findings implicate that envy may play an important role in memory systems and that WMC is related to emotion regulation abilities.
