연인과의 이별을 경험한 대학생의 의도적 반추와 이별 후 성장과의 관계에서 사고 정서가의 조절효과

Abstract

The research was regarding the effect of deliberate rumination on the posttraumatic growth of university students who experienced romantic breakups, and this study examined moderating effects of thought content valence on the relationship between deliberate rumination and posttraumatic growth. Through this, it was intended to present interventions that would facilitate posttraumatic growth of university students. In this study, 226 university students who experienced romantic breakups surveyed. The scales used in this survey was PANERT(Positive and Negative Ex-Relationship Thoughts Scale), the deliberate rumination and the posttraumatic growth scale. The results of this analysis can be summarized as follows. First, There were a positive correlation between the three variable(deliberate rumination, posttraumatic growth, thought content valence). Second, the moderating effect of thought content valence was found in the relationship between deliberate rumination and posttraumatic growth. Contrary to expectations, both positive and negative thought content valence hampered posttraumatic growth. These results mean that positive and negative thought content valence is a risk factor for posttraumatic growth, and that intervention is needed to reduce such positive and negative thought content valence in the counseling scene. The impact of these results for a counseling of university students who experienced romantic breakups, limitations of this study, and there commendations for future study were discussed.
