성인초기 직장인의 D유형 성격, 우울과 사회적 지지

초록

The purpose of this study is to identify young adult workers' population of type D personality and the degree of depression and social support, and also to determine the relations among those variables. The data was collected from 312 young adult workers from June to September in 2012. The population of type D personality was 33%, and the ones of the degree of depression and social support were 43.14 and 54.34 respectively. Also, it was shown that there was a significant difference between depression (t=-8.860, p<.001) and social support (t=7.131, p<.001) among the subjects who had type D personality and the ones who didn't. Meanwhile, it appeared that there was a positive relation between type D personality and depression (r=.630, p<.001), and a negative relation between depression and social support (r=-.466, p<.001). Considering the result that the workers who have higher degree of type D personality tend to be depressed more and to have lower social support, health care providers should pay attention to various measurements in order to support their psychosocial health based on the examination of their clients' individual characters. More importantly, they should develop intervention programs that can reduce negative affectivity and social inhibition by actively utilizing their human networks.
