In addition, the hypothesis was tested using a structural equation model using social capital, which is expected to play a mediating role in their relationship, as a mediating variable. As a result, first, the impact of marriage immigrant women's digital information utilization capabilities on life satisfaction was not statistically significant. Second, marriage immigrant women's ability to use digital information had a positive effect on social capital. Third, the social capital of married immigrant women was found to have a positive (+) effect on life satisfaction. Fourth, as a result of confirming statistical significance through bootstrapping of the impact of digital information utilization capabilities on life satisfaction through social capital, the confidence interval did not include 0 and was statistically significant.
