Abstract

This study aims to explore the relative influences of covert narcissism and evaluative concerns perfectionism on SNS addiction tendency, and the mediating effect of evaluative concerns perfectionism in the influence of covert narcissism on SNS addiction tendency of undergraduates. The results of this study can be summarized in the following. First, control failure and disturbance of adaptive, avoidance of negative emotion, and virtual life orientation and withdrawal were best accounted for by exploitation/self-centeredness. On the other hand, absorption and tolerance was best accounted for by hypersensitivity/vulnerability in undergraduates. Also, SNS addiction tendency was accounted for by only socially prescribed perfectionism of evaluative concerns perfectionism. Second, evaluative concerns perfectionism partially mediated the relations between covert narcissism and absorption and tolerance and between covert narcissism and virtual life orientation and withdrawal, while it didn't mediate the relations between covert narcissism and control failure and disturbance of adaptive and between covert narcissism and avoidance of negative emotion.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 내현적 자기애와 평가염려 완벽주의가 SNS 중독경향성에 미치는 상대적 영향력과 더불어 내현적 자기애가 SNS 중독경향성에 미치는 영향에 대한 평가염려 완벽주의의 매개효과를 살펴보는 것이다. 연구대상은 대학생 415명으로 이들을 대상으로 질문지 조사를 실시하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS win 21을 사용하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대학생의 조절실패 및 일상생활장애, 부정정서의 회피, 가상세계지향성 및 금단을 가장 잘 설명하는 변인은 착취/자기중심성이었으며, 몰입 및 내성을 가장 잘 설명하는 변인은 과민/취약성으로 나타났다. 둘째, 평가 염려 완벽주의는 내현적 자기애와 몰입 및 내성, 가상세계지향성 및 금단 간의 관계를 부분 매개하는 반면, 내현적 자기애와 조절실패 및 일상생활장애, 부정정서의 회피 간의 매개하지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
