Abstract

Explicit & implicit self-esteems were measured with 132(23 elementary & 109 middle school students) gifted & 282(29 elementary & 253 middle school students) ordinary students. Additional measures on psychosomatic symptoms & aggression were obtained with gifted students. Gifted boys reported higher ESE on most of subscales except the athletic self-esteem. However there was no difference in ISE between two groups. Self esteem types significantly predicted psychosomatic symptoms & aggression in the gifted. Especially the discrepancy between ESE & ISE was the most important predictor for both internalized & externalized behavior problems. The behavior problem ratings were higher in the self-esteem discrepant groups compared to the congruent groups. This study showed that the congruency between ESE & ISE is important from childhood and later studies need to find intervention strategies against the self-esteem discrepancy.

영재 남아 132명(초등학생 23명, 중학생 109명)과 일반 남아 282명(초등학생 29명, 중학생 253명)을 대상으로 명시적 자존감과 암묵적 자존감에서의 차이를 살펴보고, 영재 남아의 자존감 유형에 따라 신체증상과 공격성에서의 차이를 분석하였다. 명시적 자존감의 경우 영재 아동이 일반 아동에 비해 전반적으로 높게 나타나, 운동 능력을 제외한 학업능력, 사회적 수용, 외모, 품행, 전반적 자기가치감에서 유의한 차이를 보였다. 암묵적 자존감에서는 영재 아동과 일반 아동 간 차이가 유의하지 않았다. 영재 남아의 두 자존감의 수준에 따라 4개의 집단으로 나누어 문제행동을 살펴본 결과, 두 자존감 수준이 일치할 때보다 불일치할 때 신체증상과 공격성이 더 높았다. 아동기부터 두 자존감이 일치하는 것이 중요함을 확인하였고 영재 아동을 위해 자존감일치를 중재할 수 있는 방안에 대한 후속연구가 필요함을 제안하였다.
