부부성생활의 갈등과 불만족 요인을 지혜롭게 해결하고, 만족스러운 성생활을 영위하기 위해서는 부부간 상호만족적인 성적 스크립트를 함께 구성해나가는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 상호만족적인 성적 스크립트를 공구성(共構成)하는데 필요한 심리적 능력 요인을 측정하는 상호구성적 성지수 척도를 개발하고, 그 타당성과 기능적 효율성을 살펴보기 위해 실시되었다. 우선 개방형 설문, FGI, 문헌조사 등을 통해 상호만족적인 성적 스크립트를 공구성하는데 필요한 심리적 능력 요인으로는 성적 자기의 인식, 성적 자기의 표현, 성생활 갈등 해결 능력, 성적 의사소통 능력, 성신념의 5개 요인임이 밝혀졌다. 본 연구에서는 이들 5개 요인을 측정하는 문항을 제작한 후, 이것의 잠재요인의 수와 그 특성을 파악하였다. 그 결과, 총 4개의 요인을 추출할 수 있었으며, 제 1요인은 성적 자기 탐색 능력 요인, 제 2요인은 성적 자기 인식 요인, 제 3요인은 성신념 요인, 제 4요인은 성생활 갈등 해결능력 요인이었다. 이들의 총 설명변량은 41.09%였다. 상호구성적 성지수 척도의 타당성을 살펴보기 위해 성생활 만족 및 불만족 관련 척도와 성행동을 성지수 척도와 상관분석하였다. 그 결과, 유의미한 상관을 보임을 알 수 있었는데, 이는 성지수의 타당도를 검증한 결과라 하겠다. 성지수의 상대적 기여도를 살펴보기 위해 성생활 만족 및 불만족 관련 척도에 대한 성행동과 성지수의 설명력을 비교한 결과, 성지수가 성행동에 비해 설명변량이 많은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이는 성지수의 기능적 효율성을 검증하는 결과라 하겠다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 성지수 척도는 실제 부부 성생활 갈등에 대한 연구영역과 상담분야에 자료로서 도움을 줄 수 있으며, 성생활 갈등 및 불만족을 진단․치료과정에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
Until recent researches, Sexual behavior, sexual functioning and emotional experience were regarded as key factors for satisfying sexual life. While the sexual script theory emphasized on constructing the co-enjoyable and co-satisfying sexual script between couple for it. On the basis of the sexual script theory, this study was to develope the co-constructive sexual index(for short, the sexual index) that measures and diagnoses psychological abilities essential to the construction of a co-satisfying sexual script. Specifically, pre-studies(open-ended questionnaire, FGI, literature survey) were conducted to explore psychological abilities for satisfying sexual life. As a results, 5 psychological abilities - awareness of sexual self, expression of sexual self, sexual conflict solving ability, sexual communication ability and sexual beliefs - were extracted. Based on this result, main study was carried out to develope the co-constructive sexual index and to validate it. Three hundreds and twenty eight married persons(male: 179, female, 198) were responded to a questionnaire consisted of 61 sexual index questions, sexual satisfaction scales and 8 sexual behavior questions. First, a factor analysis and reliability analysis were conducted to extract constructs of the sexual index from 61 questions. The result were shown that the sexual index had acceptable 4 factors, including exploration ability of sexual self, awareness of sexual self, sexual beliefs and sexual conflict solving ability. Second, a correlation analysis was performed to investigate the validation of the sexual index. In result, it was revealed that the sexual index was highly correlated with sexual satisfaction scales and sexual behaviors. Third, through a regression analysis, the explanatory variance of sexual index on sexual satisfaction scales was compared to that of sexual behavior to verify the function of sexual index. The results demonstrated that the sexual index was more powerful explanatory variable on them than sexual behaviors. The theoretical and the practical implications of these findings were discussed.
