Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the level of aging anxiety and life satisfaction of social workers, and the effects of aging anxiety on life satisfaction of social workers. For this purpose, data were collected from 161 social workers selected by the convenience sampling method and surveyed using the structured questionnaire through an online survey. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS 27.0 program. Research instruments were composed of Anxiety about Aging Scale(AAS), developed by Lasher and Faulkender(1993), Satisfaction With Life Scale(SWLS), developed by Diener, Emmons, Larsen, and Griffin(1985), and several socio-demographic variables as control variables. The major findings of this analysis are as follows. First, the level of aging anxiety was 2.81 points on the 5 point scale and life satisfaction was 4.40 points on the 7 point scale. Second, multiple regression confirmed that aging anxiety had a negative influence on life satisfaction, accounting 28.8% of the variance of life satisfaction of social workers. In addition, the factors affecting life satisfaction of social workers were subjective economic status and subjective health status. Based on the above results, implications for policy, practice, and future research suggestions for decreasing and preventing aging anxiety to increase life satisfaction of social workers were further discussed.
