Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the determinants of subjective well-being among Korean Adolescents. Specially, it tried to find out how socio-demographic, health, and delinquent behavior factors influence on their level of subjective well-being. This study used the 2009 Korean Youth Health Risk Behavior On-line Survey data. It conducted a secondary data analysis of 75,006 cases. It conducted frequency analysis, t-test, F-test, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Although various independent variables influenced on their level of subjective well-being, gender, grade, living with parents, educational background of father, economic status, academic record, level of stress, level of depression, overall health status, internet addiction, alcohol use, smoking and drug use were key determinants of their level of subjective well-being among Korean Adolescents. Findings may be used for realizing the key factors of subjective well-being and developing new promising strategies to enhance the subjective well-being among Korean Adolescents.

본 연구는 제5차 청소년건강행태 온라인조사 자료를 활용해 청소년의 주관적 행복감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 인구사회학적 특성 요인, 건강 요인, 일탈행동 요인을 중심으로 탐색하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 첫째, 독립변인인 인구사회학적 특성 요인, 건강 요인, 일탈행동 요인과 종속변인인 주관적 행복감 수준을 빈도분석, 백분율, 평균 등의 기술 통계분석을 통해 파악하였으며, 둘째, 각 독립변인별 주관적 행복감에 대한 차이를 t-검증과 F-검증을 통해 비교분석하였으며, 셋째, 본 연구에 활용한 변수간 상관관계와 다중공선성의 정도를 상관관계분석을 통해 파악하였다. 또한 각각의 독립변인들이 주관적 행복감에 미치는 영향을 다중회귀분석을 통해 파악하였다. 연구결과를 통합회귀모형에 근거해 제시하면, 인구사회학적 특성 요인에서는 여학생인 경우에, 고학년일수록, 양부모와 동거할수록, 아버지의 학력이 낮을수록, 경제적 수준이 높을수록, 학업성적이 높을수록, 건강 요인에 있어서는 스트레스 및 우울감이 낮을수록, 전반적인 건강상태가 좋을수록, 일탈행동 요인에서는 인터넷, 술, 담배 및 약물을 적게 사용할수록 청소년의 주관적 행복감 수준이 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 이상의 결과를 토대로 청소년의 주관적 행복감 증진 방안에 대한 제언을 전달하였다.
