본 연구의 목적은 영성과 심리적 안녕감 간의 자기자비의 매개효과이다. 연구도구로 는 영성(the Korean Spirituality Scale; KSS), 자기자비(the Korean version of Self-Compassion Scale; K-SCS), 심리적 안녕감(the Death Attitude profile-Revised and the Psychological Well-Being Scale; PWBS)을 분석하였다. 자료 분석은 IBM SPSS V.22 와 M-Plus 6.12(Muthn & Muthn, 1998-2011)과 매개효과를 검증하기 위해 Bootstrapping을 사용했다. 결과로는 영성은 심리적 안녕감에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며(B=.332, p<.001), 영성이 자기자비(B=.319, p<.001)에, 자기자비는 심 리적 안녕감에(B=.381, p<.001) 순차적으로 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 과정을 통하여 영성과 심리적 안녕감의 사이에서 자기자비를 토대로 한 매개효과의 경로 및 간 접효과를 확인했다. 이러한 점은 영성, 자기자비와 심리적 안녕감의 매개효과유의성검증 을 하는데 의의가 있다.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation among spirituality, mindfulness awareness, self-compassion, death acceptance, and psychological well-being using a mediation model. The measurement scales used in this research analysis are as follows: the Korean Spirituality Scale(KSS), the Korean version of Self-Compassion Scale(K-SCS) and the Psychological Well-Being Scale(PWBS). IBM SPSS V.22 and M-Plus 6.12(Muthn & Muthn, 1998-2011) were used for the analysis of this survey data. The verification of the mediating effect was examined by Bootstrapping. As a result of adding mediating variable, loving-kindness and compassion, spirituality had a direct influence on psychological well-being(B=.332, p<.001). Spirituality had a influence on self-compassion(B=.319, p<.001), and later self-compassion had a confluence on psychological well-being sequentially(B=.381, p<.001). However, the path model and indirect effect significance verification on the relationship spirituality and Loving-kindness and Compassion and psychological well-being was verified and suggested as well. This study contributed to verify a significant mediation effect of spirituality and Loving-kindness and Compassion and psychological well-being.
