Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating effect of self-efficacy in the relationship between appearance satisfaction and happiness of high school students. To this end, 219 high school students in Busan were tested for appearance satisfaction, happiness, and self-efficacy. Correlation analysis was conducted to find out the relationship between these variables, and hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to verify the mediating effect of self-efficacy. The results of the study are as follows. First, the relationship between appearance satisfaction, happiness, and self-efficacy showed a significant positive correlation. Second, the relationship between appearance satisfaction and happiness showed a partial mediating effect of self-efficacy. Based on the results of this study, it was found that appearance satisfaction and self-efficacy perceived by students themselves are important factors to improve the happiness of high school students. Through this, implications for active intervention measures at school sites and suggestions for follow-up research were discussed to enhance students' positive perception of appearance satisfaction and self-efficacy.
