Abstract

In this study, we categorized the subjective recognition of 20's young generation about virtual currency into a few meaningful types and analyzed the characteristics of each type using the Qmethodology. For the Qpopulation, we selected a total of 337 samples which were derived from the Internet search, in-depth interviews, and literature survey, chose the final 51 Qstatements, and performed the Q-classification for the 40 P samples of 20's, including university students. Then, we analyzed the results using the PC-QUANL program. From the analysis, we found meaningful differences between each recognition type, and, after classifying the recognition types into four, we named each of them as 'investment-vehicle' type, 'future-technology' type, 'kind of gambling-like plays' type, and 'foamy faddishness' type. We hope that this research result can contribute to follow-up research and social discussion as base materials.

우리나라는 가상화폐 전 세계 거래량의 10~30%의 비중을 차지할 정도로 가상화폐 열풍이 뜨거우며, 특히 상대적으로 금융투자 경험이 적고, 소득이 불안정한 20대의 가상화폐 구매 경험은 전 연령대 중 가장 높다. 본 연구는 Q방법론을 활용하여 20대 청년 세대의 가상화폐에 대한 주관적 인식을 유형화하고 각 유형의 특성을 분석하고자 하였다. Q모집단은 인터넷 검색, 심층면접, 문헌검토를 통해 총 337개의 표본을 도출하였고, 최종 51개의 Q진술문을 선정하여 대학생을 포함한 20대 40명의 P표본을 구성하여 Q-분류를 실시하였다. 분석은 PC-QUANL Program을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 각 유형간의 의미 있는 차이를 발견하였으며, 각 유형은 '투자수단', '미래기술', '도박 같은 놀이의 일종', '거품 같은 일시적 유행'의 4개의 유형으로 분류하여 명명하였다. 가상화폐에 대한 사회적 관심이 큰 지금의 상황에서 사회구성원들 간의 인식 차이는 사회적 갈등과 논란의 여지가 될 수 있다. 본 연구결과가 후속연구를 비롯한 사회적 논의의 근거자료로 기여할 수 있기를 기대한다.
