Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze direct and indirect effects that depression of adolescents have on their life satisfaction through mediating variable called sense of community. To collect data, a survey was administered to 371 adolescents participating in volunteer activity at Youth Training Center located in C province. Data collected were analyzed for mediating effect, using structural equation model. The results showed that sense of community not only directly affect life satisfaction of the adolescents, but also work as a significant mediating variable between depression and life satisfaction. In other words, sense of community was found to reduce the negative impact of depression on life satisfaction. Based on these findings the ways of developing effective measures to promote the sense of community of young adolescents in educational field was discussed, such as developing various experience-activity programs and providing an institutional strategy which support such activity programs.

본 연구의 목적은 청소년의 우울이 공동체의식이라는 매개변수를 통해 삶의 만족에 미치는 영향을 분석함으로써 청소년들이 자신의 삶에 대해 느끼는 만족수준을 증진하기 위한 방안을 알아보는 것이었다. 이를 위해 C지역의 청소년 수련원에서 봉사활동에 참여하는 371명의 청소년을 대상으로 설문조사를 하여 자료를 수집하였으며, 구조방정식 모형을 활용하여 매개효과를 분석하였다. 연구의 결과, 우울은 청소년들의 삶의 만족에 직접적으로 영향을 미칠 뿐 아니라 공동체의식의 매개를 통해 간접적으로도 영향을 미친다는 것이 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 우리나라 청소년들의 삶의 만족증진에 공동체의식 함양이 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 공교육현장에서 정규 커리큘럼을 통해, 그리고 효율적인 봉사활동프로그램 운영체계를 갖춘 지역사회복지기관들과 학교 간의 상호보완적 협력관계를 통해 공동체의식을 함양하는 방안에 대해 논의하였다.
