초록

본 연구는 목격자 증언 맥락에서 진술 정확성에 영향을 미치는 정서의 기능에 관한 문헌 고찰을 시도하였다. 목격자 증언의 정확성과 정서 간의 관계를 살펴본 연구에서 소개된 주요 이론과 개념들, 연구 방법을 토대로 살펴보았다. 해당 결과는 정서의 정의, 정서 유도 방식, 정서 측정 방식 순으로 제시하였다. 구체적으로 부정 정서, 각성, 스트레스, 기분을 중심으로 정서의 정의를 기술하였고, 정서 유도 방식은 실험실에서 주로 사용되는 영상, 가상현실, 연구자가 연출한 모의 사건을 중심으로 기술하였다. 정서 측정 방식은 자기보고식, 행동 측정, 정신생리학을 중심으로 기술하였다. 또한, 객관적이고 과학적 정서 연구를 위한 접근 방식, 적절한 실험 설계와 기억 검사, 개인차 통제의 필요성에 대해 논의하였다. 본 연구는 목격자 증언 맥락에서 진술 정확성에 미치는 정서의 기능을 살펴봄으로써 선행 연구의 비일관된 결과를 검토하고, 관련 연구들을 비교 분석하는 구조를 제시하는 데 의의를 두었다. 이와 같은 지식은 목격자 증언의 신뢰성 판단에 기초 자료로도 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

This paper was intended to examine the function of emotion that affects the accuracy of statements in the context of eyewitness testimony. The main emotion theories and concepts introduced in previous studies examining the relation between testimony accuracy and negative emotions were examined based on the characteristics of the research method. The results were presented in the order of emotion definition, emotion inducing method, and emotion measurement method. Specifically, the definition of emotion was described based on studies on negative emotions, arousal, stress, and mood. The emotion inducing method was mainly described based on images, virtual reality, and staged events designed by researchers, which have been mainly used in laboratories. Emotion measurement methods were described with respect to the self-report, behavioral checklist, and psychophysiology. In addition, the emotional approach for objective and scientific repeated verification, the importance of effective experimental design and appropriate scientific memory test, and the need for individual difference control were discussed. This paper reinterprets the contradictions shown by previous research by systematically structuring the function of emotion that affects the accuracy of testimony. It was meaningful to provide a frame for comparative analysis of related studies. Ultimately, it is expected that such knowledge will be used as basic documents for judging the reliability of eyewitness testimony in a legal context.
