본 연구는 2001년부터 2013년까지 집단미술치료 프로그램에서 자아관련 변인의 효과에 관한 국내 석·박사학위 논문과 학술지를 대상으로 성과 연구를 실시하여, 사전에 이루어진 선행연구들의 상이한 연구 결과를 분석하고 통합적인 결론을 내리는 데 그 목적이 있다. 선정기준에 따라 분석 대상 논문이 158편을 최종 선정하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 집단미술치료 프로그램에서 고정효과모형으로 추정한 전체 평균효과크기는 .971, 둘째, 자아관련 변인 평균효과크기는 자아존중감, 자기표현, 자아개념, 자기효능감, 자아정체감 순으로 나타났다. 셋째, 중재대상에 따른 효과크기는 연구자 전공에 따라 미술치료 전공자, 성별에 따라 혼성으로 구성된 경우, 유형에 따라 취약계층, 연령에 따라 성인기에서 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 중재변인에 따른 효과크기는 집단 크기에서 10명 이하로 구성된 집단, 집단회기 수에서 11~15회, 주회기 수에서 주 1회, 1회기별 소요시간에서 121분 이상이다. 측정도구에서는 자기표현의 기타 측정도구, 자아개념의 기타 측정도구, 자기효능감의 국내에서 개발된 측정도구, 자아존중감의 SEI(Self-Esteem Inventory) 척도, 자아정체감의 국외개발 측정도구 순으로 효과가 나타났다.
The purpose of this study was to examine the results of domestic theses, dissertations and academic journals about the effects of group art therapy programs on self-related variables, which were presented and issued between 2001 and 2013. 158 research papers were finally selected according to the tertiary selection criteria. The findings of the study were as follows: First, the overall mean effect size of the group art therapy programs was .971 when a fixed-effects model was used to estimate it. Second, as for mean effect sizes by self-related variables, the mean effect size of the programs was greatest in terms of self-esteem, followed by self-expression, self-concept, self-efficacy and ego-identity. Third, concerning effect sizes by the subject of intervention, the effect size of the programs was greater, according to the gender of subjects, the effect size of the programs was greatest in mixed-gender groups of subjects, and the type of subjects, that of the programs was largest in the underprivileged classes, and age, that of the programs was largest in adulthood. Fourth, regarding effect sizes by the intervening variables including group size, the effect size of the programs was greatest in the groups of 10 or less, according to the number of sessions, that was largest in 11~15 sessions, and the number of weekly sessions, that was greatest when they were conducted once a week. As to the length of a session, that was largest when a session run 121 minutes or more. By scale, that was largest when the other scales of self-expression, followed by the other scales of self-conception, domestic self-efficacy scales, self-esteem inventories(SEI), and foreign ego-identity scales.
