본 연구의 목적은 Benjamin(1974)이 개발한 사회적 행동의 구조분석(Structural Analysis of Social Behavior; 이하 SASB) 모형을 통해 내사측면Iintorject)에서 경계선적 성격특성 집단과 비교집단의 차이를 검증하는 것이다. 본 연구를 위해 연구자는 첫째, SASB Intrex 질문지를 번안하였고 둘째, 경계선적 성격특성 척도(PAI-BOR)와 SASB Intrex 질문지를 대학생 대상으로 실시한 후, PAI-BOR 점수에 의해 상위 15% 집단(경계선적 성격특성 집단)과 하위 15%(비교집단) 집단으로 구분하였으며 셋째, 두 집단간 패턴계수의 차이를 다변량 분석을 통해 검증하였다. 마지막으로 경계선적 성격특성 집단이 SASB 모형의 내사측면에서 보이는 패턴을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 두 집단 간 패턴계수의 차이가 유의미하여 SASB 모형의 내사 측면이 경계선적 성격특성 집단과 비교집단을 유의미하게 변별해 냄을 보여주었다. 구체적으로 경계선적 성격특성을 보이는 집단은 공격 패턴계수 ATK=0.90으로 자기공격적 방향성을 두드러지게 보였고, 통제 패턴계수 CON=-0.63으로 자기방임적 방향성을 보였다. 갈등 패턴계수 CFL은 상관정도가 낮아 분석에서 제외하였다. 프로파일을 통한 구체적인 군집의 특성은 자기공격·자기무시·자기방임으로 나타났다. 이같은 결과는 Benjamin의 가설을 비롯한 다른 선행연구들과 대체로 일치한다. 본 연구는 첫째, 경계선 성격장애에 대한 DSM-Ⅳ의 진단방식 외에 관계 유형으로서의 진단을 내리고자 하였다. 둘째, 경계선 성격장애를 특징짓는 외적인 행동들-반복적인 실직, 자기손상적 행동 등-에 대한 심리내적인 설명을 제공함으로써 상담의 목표와 전략을 수립하는 데 기여한다. 셋째, 경계선 성격장애 상담의 핵심이자 가장 어려운 과제이기도 한 관계형성 및 유지에 유용한 지침을 SASB 모형이 구체적으로 어떻게 제공해 주는지 제시함으로써 모형의 유용성을 소개하였다. 마지막으로 환자가 아닌 일반 대학생을 대상으로 하여 이들에 대한 이해 및 성장·발달을 도모하는 교육적·예방적 의미를 담고 있다.

The circumplex models have progressed as complementary and alternative diagnostic forms of DSMs, which used in general. But, DSMs doesn`t show the causes and how to access when adapted to some actual counseling settings. The circumplex models are useful and dynamic diagnostic methods describing relational traits in detail. The Structural Analysis of Social Behavior(SASB) model is one of the most elaborate circumplex models. The present study intends to analyse the borderline personality disorder(BPD) features on the introject surface using SASB model. As one of the three surfaces - other, self, introject - in SASB, the introject surface is measured about the attitude or mental tendency of the self toward the self. The questions of this study are like that: Question 1. Is there the significant difference of pattern coefficients on the introject surface between the BPD featured group and the comparative group? Question 2. What is the pattern of the BPD featured group on the introject surface? This analysis was conducted through the following stage. First, SASB Intrex questionnaire was translated to Korean. Second, the PAI-BOR, BPD scale, and SASB Intrex data were collected and divided by PAI-BOR scores into two groups - the BPD featured group(15% from the highest rank, cut-off is raw score 38) and the comparative group(15% from the lowest rank, cut-off is raw score 19). Third, pattern coefficients are examined through MANOVA whether the pattern difference of introject surface is significant between two groups or not. This procedure is to test the validity of SASB Intrex questionnaire. Fourth, the pattern of introject surface about BPD featured undergraduates was analysed through SASB computerized program. The results of this study are follows: First, the difference of pattern coefficients between two groups was significant [Wilks` Lambda =.565(F=11.91, p<.01)]. This result supports the validity of SASB model partly. That means SASB Intrex questionnaire (especially, introject surface) differentiate the BPD featured group from the comparative group significantly. Second, the patterns of the BPD featured group in SASB model showed self-attack, self-neglect, self-emancipate at their worst. At their best, the BPD features didn`t appeared apparently. This means the BPDs change their attitude toward the self suddenly by their condition. That implies their affective unstability and fickleness. This conclusion is consistent with the previous articles including Benjamin`s(1996a). The implications of this study are as follows: First, it supports the validity of SASB model partly. Second, it introduces SASB model to domestic researchers and counselors with the concern about interpersonal relation measures. Third, relation between counselor and client is very important in actual setting, especially, when it comes to counseling with a BPD featured person. We can obtain the practical and useful informations and guides about the interpersonal relation mode through SASB model. This helps to understand and solve the problems of clients in detail. Fourth, subjects of this study are general undergraduate not patients. We often find that the BPD features were appeared in normal sample not little. This study implies the educational, preventive, and developmental meaning in relation to normal young adults.
