Abstract

This study utilized latent growth curve modeling to investigate the trajectories of adolescent life satisfaction changes in middle and high school students. The effects of self-esteem, career identity, school learning activity, gender, and household earnings on life satisfaction changes were examined. Data was obtained from the Korea Child Youth Panel Survey (KYCPS), a longitudinal study following students for 7 years. Year 3-6 data was utilized. Results found that the life satisfaction trajectory resulted as a quadratic model in which individual differences were significant. Second, school learning activity used as a time variant variable had a positive significant effect on life satisfaction each year. Third, gender and self-esteem as time invariant variables had significant effects on initial levels while self-esteem had effects on the slope and quadratic change. Further implications and research issues are discussed.

본 연구는 잠재성장모형(LGM) 분석을 활용하여 후기 청소년기 삶의 만족도의 변화모형을 도출하고 자아존중감, 진로정체감과 학습활동, 성별, 가구소득이 청소년들의 삶의 만족도 변화에 미치는 영향을 연구하여 후기 청소년들의 삶의 만족도를 향상시키는 방안의 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다. 연구대상들은 한국청소년패널조사(KYCPS)의 중1 패널 3차년부터 6차년도 자료를 활용했다. 연구분석 결과, 첫째, 중학교 3학년에서 고등학교 3학년까지의 삶의 만족도 변화모형은 감소하다가 다시 증가하는 2차 함수가 가장 적합한 모형으로 도출되었으며 초기치와 변화율 모두에 개인별 차가 유의미하게 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 청소년 삶의 만족도변화에 영향을 주는 시간의존적인 독립변수로는 학습활동이 모든 학년마다 정적으로 유의미한 영향을 주는 것으로 드러났다. 셋째, 청소년들의 삶의 만족도변화에 영향을 미치는 시간독립적인 독립변수들로는 성별과 자아존중감이 초기치가 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 자아존중감은 1차변화율과 2차 변화율에도 지속적으로 유의미한 영향을 미쳤다. 연구결과에 따른 후기청소년 삶의 만족도에 대한 개입과 함께 실천적 함의에 대한 제안과 과제가 제시되었다.
