대학생의 D유형 성격과 건강증진행위 사이의 자기효능의 매개효과

Abstract

Purpose: This study examined the relationships among type D personality, self-efficacy, health promoting behaviors and mediating effects, as well as type D personality and health promoting behaviors of college students. Methods: From 10 May to 24 May 2013, a convenience sample of 223 subjects was recruited from a college in G city. Data analysis consisted of Pearson's correlation coefficient, followed by regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of type D personality was 21.4%. Type D individuals showed lower self-efficacy and interpersonal relationships than non-type D individuals. Type D personality (NA*SI) had signigicant negative correlations with self-efficacy and HPLP-Ⅱ. Self-efficacy fully mediated the relationship between type D personality(NA*SI) and HPLP-Ⅱ. Conclusion: One reason why type D individuals have maladaptive health behaviors is low self-efficacy.
