Abstract

As social network service(SNS) environments have been changed and increased, people perceive SNSs as a part of their daily lives. Therefore mutual communication activities based on the Internet and its influences are expanding continuously. This paper explored the difference between consumers' emotional well-being level and social capital formed through SNSs. Given that the reason of using SNS and its utilization can be different depending on consumers, this paper also examines generation differences. Hence, we examine how the forms of emotional well-being and social capital in SNSs can be different according to each generation. We conducted a survey targeting the consumers who have an experience of using online SNS and looked into the effects of emotional well-being and social capital among generations using eighty three valid samples. In this study, we find that there are differences on the effects of the sizes and the types of social capital formed through SNS, depending on the generations. In particular, the size of social capital from younger generation was larger compared to the older generation and bridging social capital, one of social capital types, was also bigger in the younger generation compared to the older generation. Although general emotional well-being was not differentiated among the generations, we could find a generation difference by showing that older generation's negative well-being, one of emotional well-being types, was more sensitive than younger generation. Based on such results, this paper proposes SNS utilization plan sub-divided by generations, suggesting management direction of online social networks.

SNS(social network service) 이용환경의 변화 및 증가에 따라 소비자들은 SNS를 일상의 일부로 받아들이고 있으며, 인터넷을 기반으로 상호소통하는 활동과 영향력은 지속적으로 확대되고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 SNS를 통해서 형성될 수 있는 사회자본과 소비자들의 정서적 웰빙 수준의 차이점을 고찰하고자 한다. 또한 SNS 이용 이유 및 활용도는 소비자들마다 상이하게 나타날 수 있는 점을 고려하여 본 연구에서는 세대별 차이를 살펴보았다. 즉, SNS를 통해 나타날 수 있는 사회적 자본과 정서적 웰빙의 형태는 세대별로 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 검증하였다. 본 연구는 SNS사용 경험이 있는 소비자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 최종 83부의 표본을 활용하여 세대 간 사회자본 및 정서적웰빙의 효과를 살펴보았다. 연구결과, SNS를 통해 형성된 사회적 자본의 크기 및 유형에 따른 효과는 세대에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 사회적 자본의 크기는 고령세대보다 젊은세대가 크게 나타났으며, 사회적 자본의 유형 중 연결적(bridging) 사회자본도 고령세대보다 젊은세대가 크게 나타났다. 또한 전반적인 정서적 웰빙은 세대에 따라 차이가 없었지만, 정서적 웰빙의 유형 중 부정적 웰빙은 고령세대가 젊은세대 보다 더욱 민감하게 나타나 세대별 차이를 보였다. 이러한 결과들을 토대로 SNS관리방향을 제시함으로써 세대별 세분화된 SNS활용방안을 제시하였다.
