중년기 삶의만족도 영향요인에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how middle-aged people’s resentment, class consciousness, and subjective health affect their happiness, life satisfaction, and meaning of life, and at the same time, to determine whether volunteering and donation activities have a mediating effect in this relationship. This is to take a look at. A structural model analysis was conducted to identify causal relationships between the major variables set in this study, and the results of the analysis are as follows. The results of the analysis showed that middle-aged resentment had a significant negative effect on life satisfaction and meaning of life, but had a positive effect on volunteer activities and donation activities. In other words, the higher the level of resentment among middle-aged people, the lower the satisfaction and meaning of life, but the increased volunteer and donation activities. Next, class consciousness was found to have a significant negative effect on life satisfaction, meaning of life, volunteer activities, and donation activities. This means that as the class consciousness of middle-aged people increases, life satisfaction, meaning of life, volunteer activities, and donation activities also increase. Subjective health had a significant negative effect on life satisfaction, meaning of life, and donation activities, but did not appear to have an effect on volunteer activities. Considering that the higher the subjective health score, the more negatively one perceives one’s own health status, the worse one’s subjective health status is in middle age, the lower the satisfaction with life, the meaning of life, and donation activity. do. Lastly, volunteer activities were found to have a positive effect on life satisfaction but not on the meaning of life. This means that the more volunteer activities one does in middle age, the more life satisfaction increases. In addition, donation activities were found to have a positive effect on both life satisfaction and meaning of life. This means that as middle-aged people engage in more donation activities, their life satisfaction and meaning in life also increase.
