Most of maladjusted soldiers and officers have excessive depression due to inadequate personal relationships and anxiety that comes from anticipating their future environment. Such clients have a negative distorted view of themselves from early childhood. Thus they are always filled with the thought of oppressing themselves and attacking others. This is why they are constantly anxious and distressed. This kind of false idea clings onto oneself as a distorted sense of self and does not allow one to see the true nature of oneself. To get rid of this anxious state of mind, meditation practice has some good effects. Especially, breathing-meditation, walking-meditation, eating-meditation and so forth have significant effects on psycho-therapy. Because practice of meditation is excellent in letting us get back to the true sense of ourselves, it can change false ideas into pure mind. As it changes anxiety into stable and pure, wise and generous mind, our negative ideas turn into positive thinking, and rather than separating oneself from another and thus guarding against nonself it enables us to see another as helpful partners and thus share together. When the clients go into this stage they gradually open their hearts and turn into positive and outgoing people. As this links directly to a happier life, zen therapy which opens the closed mind can become one important therapy.

본 연구는 이미 개발된 바 있는 집착척도(김은희, 2002)의 문제점을 수정 및 보완하여 새로운 집착척도를 개발하고 타당화하기 위해 이루어졌다. 연구 1은 예비 연구와 본 연구로써, 집착의 구성개념을 새롭게 설정하여 문항을 개발하고, 요인분석과 문항분석을 통해 최종 집착척도를 확정한 후, 신뢰도와 구성개념 타당도를 확인하는 과정이었다. 연구 1의 결과 6요인(과거 중심성/현재성 결여/미래 중심성/시각 고정성/상황 경직성/욕구 집착성) 총 36문항으로 구성된 개정판 집착척도가 개발되었다. 연구 2는 개정판 집착척도의 타당화 과정으로, 집착척도의 구성개념 타당도와 준거관련 타당도를 확인하였다. 연구 2의 결과 개정판 집착척도는 구성개념 타당도와 준거관련 타당도 면에서 적절한 척도인 것으로 나타났고, 심리적․정신적 적응과 부적응을 기준으로 한 다양한 집단에서 그 타당성이 일반화되어 나타났다.

We conducted this study to develop and validate the new Clinging Scale. This scale was based on the previously developed Jipchak Scale (Eun Hee Kim, 2002). Study 1 resulted in developing the final Revised Clinging Scale of 36 items, which were derived from 6 different factors (past fixation, lack of nowness, future fixation, fixed opinion, situational inflexibility, and desire obsession). Study 2 was conducted to validate (construct and criterion-related validity) the Revised Clinging Scale. The validity of the Revised Clinging Scale was supported by findings from various groups classified by their psychological or mental health and ability to adapt.
