The current study was conducted to produce basic data for the policy establishment to improve the life satisfaction of residents in regional communities. The study subjected total 1,400 residents living in youngnam province in our nation for the survey by using convenience sampling. The survey took about 4 months started from March 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007. The abstract and conclusion of the result could be summarized as in below. 1. In subjective health status, 45.4% responded as normal, and the health status scored $2.68{\pm}0.67$ in 5 point scale(53.6 in 100 point scale). 2. The level of life satisfaction was found to show the score of $19.57{\pm}3.39$ in 30 point scale(65.2 in 100 point scale). Characteristically, the highest score was found in male in both age groups younger than 19 and in 20s, but lowest score was found in the age group in 40s(p<0.001). In the level of life satisfaction, 29.6% responded as satisfactory and 11.9% responded as not satisfactory. 3. In reviewing the life satisfaction by the health related characteristics, 65.7% of whom responded as very healthy answered satisfactory in life, and the life satisfaction was significantly high in peoples who do not smoke. However, the level was significantly higher in alcohol drinker than no alcohol drinker. People who have enough sleep tended to satisfy in their life, and the life satisfaction level of whom have leisure turned out to show superiorly high satisfaction level. 4. As the variables affecting on the life satisfaction, sex, age, education level, marital status, health status, stress level, life satisfaction level, healthy life activities and depression level were found, and the influence of these variables was 19.6%. As the above results demonstrate, the life satisfaction of residents in regional community was proportional to health status and highly affected by daily health life. So, the more attentions have to be made on health management and the self effort should not be neglected. Especially, since stress, depression level and leisure life did have effects on life satisfaction, more attentions have to be made on stress solving and on the development of leisure life programs. For the goal, the governments, related private organizations and specialized workforces have to make integrated efforts along with the health improvement project in large perspectives.

Comparison of Life Satisfaction between Urban and Rural Residents

최병목,이장영 한국사회과학협의회 2008 Korean Social Science Journal Vol.35 No.2

This paper analyzed the differences of the subjective evaluation of life satisfaction between the urban and rural. We used five variables of income, health, leisure, husband-wife relationship, and other family relationship. In general, the respondent of the research feel a little above average life satisfaction. They are less satisfied about income and leisure, more satisfied about husband-wife and other family relationship, and urban residents are more satisfied about health but rural residents are not. It seems to be interpreted that the reason of little difference between urban and rural is that the rural residents do not feel the rough and objective living condition of the rural area. Thus, even if the objective condition of the rural area could not influence the subjective living condition. To measure the relative influence of the five independent variables to the dependent variable, subjective life satisfaction, we used multiple regression analysis. In urban, the five independent variables affect to the life satisfaction after the control of other variables. However, in rural the four variables of income, health leisure, and other family relationship except husband-wife relationship affect to the life satisfaction. The importance of income for the life satisfaction from the many previous works is reaffirmed by this study.

정명숙 한국심리학회 산하 한국발달심리학회 2005 한국심리학회지 발달 Vol.18 No.4

This study was conducted to examine differences across age groups in the degree of satisfaction with life. A total of 1,067 participants (145 middle school students, 135 highschool students, 184 university students, 465 adults, and 138 older adults) took part in the study. The participants responded to a questionnaire which consisted of two scales: the Satisfaction with Life Scale developed by Diener et al.(1984) to assess their overall life satisfaction, and a scale to assess their satisfaction in each of four domains of life. Physical, material, social, and productive domains of life were extracted from factor analyses. The findings of the present study were as follows. First, overall satisfaction with life was the highest for the older adults and the lowest for the highschool students. A similar pattern of the results was obtained for satisfaction in material, social, and productive domains of life, whereas not the older adults but the middle and university students were found to be the most satisfied in the physical domain. Second, among all the demographic variables examined, socioeconomic status had the greatest influence on the level of satisfaction in the four domains of life as well as overall satisfaction with life. Third, the age variable was found to interact with several other demographic variables: They were gender by age interaction in satisfaction with social relationships and productivity; education level by age interaction in the overall life satisfaction and satisfaction with physical health; and family type by age interaction in material satisfaction and satisfaction with social relationships. Finally, for the younger as well as the older people, satisfaction in material and productive domains had great influences on their overall satisfaction with life, whereas satisfaction in physical and social domains had relatively little effects. The implications of these results were discussed. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 중․고․대학생, 성인, 그리고 노인들을 대상으로 그들이 삶 전반에 대해 느끼는 만족감과 삶의 각 영역에서 느끼는 만족감을 측정하였다. 이를 통해 (1) 삶 전반에 대한 만족감과 삶의 각 영역에서 느끼는 만족감이 연령에 따라 어떤 변화양상을 보이는지, (2) 경제수준, 교육수준 등 사회인구학적 변인들이 삶에 대한 만족감에 미치는 영향력은 각각 어느 정도인지, 그리고 (3) 전반적 만족도와 영역별 만족도는 어떤 관계이며 영역별 만족도들의 상대적 영향력은 각각 어느 정도인지 알아보고자 하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 삶에 대한 전반적 만족도는 노인이 가장 높았고 고등학생이 가장 낮았다. 영역별 만족도의 경우에도 물질, 사회, 생산 영역의 만족도는 전반적 만족도와 마찬가지로 대체로 노인이 가장 높고 고등학생이 가장 낮은 양상을 보였으나, 신체영역 만족도는 중학생과 대학생이 다른 연령집단에 비해 더 만족하고 있는 편이었다. 둘째, 사회인구학적 변인 중에서는 경제수준이 전반적 만족도와 영역별 만족도 모두에 가장 영향력이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 연령과 다른 여러 사회인구학적 변인들 간에 상호작용이 여러 군데서 발견되었다. 사회․생산영역 만족도에서는 성별과 연령의 상호작용이, 전반적․신체영역 만족도에서는 교육수준과 연령의 상호작용이, 그리고 물질․사회영역 만족도에서는 가족유형과 연령의 상호작용이 나타났다. 끝으로, 모든 연령집단에서 물질영역과 생산영역의 만족도가 삶에 대한 전반적 만족감에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 사회영역과 신체영역의 만족도는 상대적으로 영향력이 미미하였다. 이상의 결과에 대해 논의하였다.

경제적 어려움을 경험한 집단의 가족생활만족도와 영향요인

박종옥 한국FP학회 2019 Financial Planning Review Vol.12 No.1

The purpose of this study was to find family life satisfaction and its influence on a group that experienced economic difficulties. Data were obtained from 2017 12th Korea Welfare Panel Study, and 1,131 subjects, who had experienced economic difficulties for last year, were selected (economic difficulty experienced group). A total of 2,201 subjects, who had experienced other difficulties except for economic difficulties (other difficulty experienced group) and 3,112 subjects who had no any difficulties (no difficulty experienced group) were selected. Main results were as follows. First, family life satisfaction measured by a 7 point Likert scale revealed 5.50 for the total group, 5.04 for economic difficulty experienced group, 5.41 for the other difficulty experienced group, and 5.74 for no difficulty experienced group. For economic factors (expenditure/income index, monthly expenditure/total liquid asset index, total debt/total liquid asset index, total debt/total asset index, subjective income satisfaction), the levels of the group that experienced economic difficulties were the lowest out of the three groups. For psychological factors (depression, self-esteem), the group that experienced economic difficulties showed the most negative levels of three groups. For the family relation factors (spouse relation satisfaction, child relation satisfaction, stress from daily life), the group that experienced economic difficulties showed the most negative levels out of the three groups. Second, for the group experienced economic difficulties, family life satisfaction for men (husbands) was lower than that for women (wives). In addition, a lower depression and stress from daily life were associated with a higher self-esteem and spouse-child relation satisfaction, and the higher family life satisfaction. Furthermore, psychological factors and family relation factors had significant effects on family life satisfaction for all three groups. In contrast, economic factors, which did not show significant effect on family life satisfaction for the economic difficulty experienced group, had partially significant effects on family life satisfaction for other two groups. Third, a comparison of the influence levels based on the results of hierarchical regression analysis, family relation factors were the strongest factors influencing family life satisfaction, followed in order by the psychological factor, economic factors, and socio-demographic factor. Finally, based on the above main results, to enhance the family life satisfaction of the families who were having economic difficulties, and economic support policy would be necessary. On the other hand, family’s economic improvement might be not easy in a short period time. In that sense, psychological support programs, such as spouse support program, stress reducing program, and improving family relationship program might be helpful in enhancing family life satisfaction on the short term. 본 연구는 경제적 어려움을 경험한 집단의 가족생활만족도와 그 영향요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 제12차 복지패널 자료를 이용하여 총 6,444명을 대상으로, 지난 1 년간 경제적 어려움 집단 1,131명, 경제적 외의 어려움 경험집단 2,201명, 그리고 어떠한어려움도 경험하지 않은 집단 3,112명을 구분하여 분석하였다. 본 연구의 주요결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 가족생활만족도는 전체집단이 7점 중 5.50이었고, 경제적 어려움 집단(5.04)이다른 하위집단에 비해 만족도가 가장 낮았으며, 경제적 요인(가계수지지표, 비상자금지표, 중기부채부담지표, 장기부채부담지표, 주관적 수입만족도) 및 심리적 요인(우울감, 자아존중감), 가족관계적 요인(배우자 및 자녀관계 만족도, 성역할관, 가정생활 스트레스) 모두 경제적 어려움 집단이 가장 부정적으로 나타났다. 둘째, 경제적 어려움 집단의 가족생활만족도는 우울감과 가정생활 스트레스가 낮을수록, 자아존중감과 배우자․자녀관계만족도가 높을수록 만족도가 높았다. 전체 및 다른하위집단 비교해보면, 심리적 요인과 가족관계적 요인은 유사한 결과를 보였으나, 경제적 요인은 경제적 어려움 집단에서는 유의하지 않았던 요인이 다른 집단에서는 부분적으로 유의하였다. 셋째, 위계적 회귀분석을 통하여 사회인구학적, 경제적, 심리적, 가족관계적 요인들이가족생활만족도를 어느 정도 설명하는지를 살펴본 결과, 전체 및 하위집단별 집단 모두에서 가장 영향력이 큰 것은 가족관계적 요인이었으며, 심리적 요인, 경제적 요인, 사회인구학적 요인의 순으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구 결론을 기초로 경제적 어려움을 겪고 있는 집단에 대한 정책적 지원 및심리상담을 통한 심리적 지지 및 관계 개선의 필요성을 제안하였다.

대학생의 스트레스와 삶의 만족도, 대학생활만족도의 관계에서 몰입의 조절효과

백유미(Yu-Mi Baek) 한국산학기술학회 2017 한국산학기술학회논문지 Vol.18 No.5

본 연구의 목적은 성격5요인과 스트레스 대처방식과의 관계에서 자기효능감의 매개효과를 검증하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 설정된 연구문제는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 성격 5요인과 스트레스 대처방식, 자기효능감의 관계는 어떠한지 분석하였다. 둘째, 성격 5요인 가운데 그 자체가 대학생의 정신건강을 의미하는 변인으로, 임상적 의미가 매우 높은 신경증과 성실성을 선정하여 신경증 및 성실성과 스트레스 대처방식과의 관계에서 자기효능감이 매개역할을 하는지 알아보았다. 이러한 연구문제를 검증하기 위하여 충청지역 D대학 1학년 462명을 대상으로 성격 5요인 척도, 스트레스 대처방식 척도, 자기효능감 척도를 실시하였다. 첫째, 상관 분석 결과 신경증과 자기효능감은 부적 상관을 나타내고, 성실성은 정적 상관을 나타냈다. 그리고 성격5요인과 스트레스 대처방식을 살펴보면 성실성은 스트레스 대처방식 가운데 회피중심과 부적상관을 보였고, 신경증은 스트레스 대처방식 중 사회적지지, 문제해결중심과 부적상관을 보였다. 둘째, 위계적 회귀분석을 사용해 자기효능감의 매개효과를 분석한 결과 자기효능감은 신경증 요인과 회피중심 간에 관계에서만 부분 매개효과가 있음을 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 대학생의 스트레스 대처를 예측하기 위해 성격5요인이 유용한 심리적 구인이라는 점과 특히 대학생의 정신건강의 예언변수인 신경증 요인과 스트레스 대처방식 가운데 회피성향을 갖고 있는 경우 정신적 스트레스를 줄이기 위해 자기효능감에 대한 교육적 중재의 필요성을 밝혔다는 점에서 의의가 있다. This study targeted college students to determine the moderating effect of immersion in the relationship among stress, satisfaction with life, and satisfaction with college life. To this end, the level of stress, satisfaction with life, satisfaction with college life, and immersion were measured in353 students attending S University. First of all, correlation analysis showed that stress had a negative correlation with immersion, satisfaction with life, and satisfaction with college life and immersion had a positive correlation with satisfaction with life and satisfaction with college life. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to determine the moderating effects of immersion in the relationship among stress, satisfaction with life, and satisfaction with college life. The results showed that immersion had a moderating effect on the relationship between stress and satisfaction with life, while immersion did not have a mitigating effect on the relationship between stress and satisfaction with college life. Based on these findings, this paper suggests raising the ability of immersion as a measure of intervention in handling the stress of college students and discusses the significance and limitations of this study.

김나정(Najung Kim),차종석(Jongseok Cha) 한국인사관리학회 2018 조직과 인사관리연구 Vol.42 No.2

본 연구의 목적은 경력성공과 삶의 만족 관계에서 주관적 경력성공이 객관적 경력성공보다 그 영향력이 지배적임을 규명하면서 특히, 다차원적인 주관적 경력성공에 초점을 맞추어 성별 및 연령대별로 삶의 만족에 대한 영향력 차이를 분석하였다. 국내 직장인 544명을 대상으로 한 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 객관적 경력성공과 주관적 경력성공은 각각 삶의 만족에 유의한 영향을 주며, 삶의 만족에 대한 주관적 경력성공의 효과는 객관적 경력성공의 효과를 넘어서는 증분효과를 갖는다. 둘째, 주관적 경력성공의 다차원 중에서 ‘경제적 성취’, ‘독립적 근로’, ‘일과 삶의 균형’은 남성의 삶의 만족에 긍정적으로 유의하고 ‘학습과 개발’, ‘일과 삶의 균형’은 여성의 삶의 만족에 긍정적으로 유의하다. 셋째, 연령대별 차이를 살펴보면 장년층에게는 ‘경제적 성취’가, 중년층에게는 ‘학습과 개발,’ ‘일과 삶의 균형,’ 그리고 ‘경제적 안정’이, 청년층에게는 ‘일과 삶의 균형’과 ‘사회적 영향력’이 삶의 만족에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 이 연구의 결과들은 이론적으로 경력성공, 삶의 만족, 일과 삶의 균형 주제의 연구 분야에 많은 기여를 할 것이며, 실무적으로는 직장인의 경력개발 프로그램을 설계하는데 실질적인 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다. 끝으로 이 연구의 한계점을 언급하면서 향후 이를 극복하는 연구방향을 제시하였다. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between career success and life satisfaction. Specifically, this study first aims at examining the augmentation effect of subjective career success on life satisfaction beyond the effect of objective career success. Second, this study examines the gender-specific and the age-specific effects of multiple dimensions of subjective career success on life satisfaction. Hierarchical regression was used to test these ideas. The results from the data of 544 Korean workers showed that subjective career success contributes incrementally to the prediction of life satisfaction beyond objective career success. The findings regarding the gender and the age differences in the relationship between subjective career success and life satisfaction are twofold. First, among the multiple dimensions of subjective career success, ‘financial achievement,’ ‘independent work,’ and ‘work-life balance’ were identified as significant predictors of life satisfaction for male workers; while ‘learning & development’ and ‘work-life balance’ significantly predicted female workers’ life satisfaction. Second, the relationship between each dimension of subjective career success and life satisfaction revealed some difference according to their age level. Specifically, ‘financial achievement’ was identified as a significant predictor of life satisfaction for the age group of 50+, ‘work-life balance,’ ‘financial stability,’ and ‘learning & development’ significantly predicted the life satisfaction of the age group between 36 and 49, and for the age group of 35 and below, ‘social impact’ and ‘work-life balance’ were identified as significant dimensions of subjective career success. Theoretically, these findings contribute to the literature on life satisfaction and career success, as well as the literature on work-life balance. The findings also highlight that multiple dimensions of subjective career success can help the HR practitioners to better develop their career development programs. We end the paper by outlining some limitations of the study and by proposing possible future research directions.

‘삶의 만족’은 만족스러운가: 주관적 웰빙 측정의 보완

김정호,유제민,서경현,임성견,김선주,김미리혜,공수자,강태영,이지선,황정은 한국문화및사회문제심리학회 2009 한국심리학회지: 문화 및 사회문제 Vol.15 No.1

Based on the Motivational States Theory(MOST), the present research expanded and complemented Kim(2007)'s proposal to add the Life Satisfaction Expectancy Scale(LSES) to Diener et al's Satisfaction With Life Scale(SWLS) to measure subjective well-being(SWB). In the present study, the Life Satisfaction Motivation Scale(LSMS) was introduced to measure the strength of motivation for life satisfaction in general. Two hundred and eighty six college students participated in this study. Factor analyses revealed a two-factor structure, with the factors corresponding to life satisfaction and life satisfaction expectancy. Measures of internal and temporal reliability show the LSMS to be a good complement for the measure of SWB(The LSMS showed high internal and test-retest reliability). It was found that the addition of the LSES provided a significant increment in predictive power over the SWLS in the prediction of various factors related with well-being prediction. Exceptionally, in the prediction of anger the LSMS had the most predictive power. There were some differences between male and female students in the correlations among life satisfaction, life satisfaction expectancy and life satisfaction motivation and well-being-related factors. The merits of including LSES in the measurement of subjective well-being and the limitations of this study are discussed. 본 연구에서는 김정호 등의 동기상태이론에 기초해서, 주관적 웰빙의 인지적 요소의 측정으로 현재 대표적으로 사용되는 삶의 만족척도 외에 삶의 기대척도를 추가한 김정호(2007)의 연구를 확장하여 주관적 웰빙 측정의 보완을 다루었다. 본 연구에는 삶의 기대척도 외에 삶의 만족을 위한 동기의 강도를 측정하기 위해 삶의 동기척도를 포함하였다. 본 연구에는 모두 286명의 남녀 대학생이 참여하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저 본 연구에서 주관적 웰빙의 구성요소로 삶의 만족과 삶의 기대가 독립적으로 구분이 되는지 보기 위해 각각의 측정에 사용되는 총 10 문항에 대해 요인분석을 실시한 결과 삶의 만족척도와 삶의 기대척도의 문항들이 두 개의 요인으로 잘 구분되었다. 특히 삶의 만족척도뿐만 아니라 삶의 기대척도도 별도의 집단을 통한 검사-재검사에서 좋은 신뢰도를 보였다. 둘째, 주관적 웰빙과 관련된 변인의 설명에 삶의 만족, 삶의 기대 및 삶의 동기가 유의한 예측변인인지를 알아보기 위해 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 전반적으로 삶의 만족이 주요한 예측변인이었고 삶의 기대가 추가적으로 유의한 예측변인이었다. 예외적으로 특성분노의 경우에는 삶의 동기가 주요한 예측변인이었다. 셋째, 삶의 동기, 삶의 만족 및 삶의 기대와 웰빙 관련 변인들간의 관계에서 남녀에 따른 차이를 살펴본 결과 우울, 특성불안, 특성분노, 부정정서 등의 설명에서 약간의 차이를 보였다. 끝으로 동기상태이론의 입장에서 주관적 웰빙의 측정에서 삶의 기대의 포함이 갖는 중요성과 본 연구의 제한점을 논의하였다.
