Abstract

This study investigated the effects and relationships of various stress, school life adjustment and happiness factors among middle school and high school adolescents. The structural model group effects between boy and girl groups were also investigated. Data was employed from the 'Korean Children and Youth Well-Being Index Survey, 2018' while subjects of the analysis included 5,144 students. Based on the education statistics data, the sample was collected by probability proportional to size. Results utilizing structural equation modeling and multigroup analysis showed that first, school stress, friend stress, and look stress had significant effects on adolescent happiness. School life adjustment had positive significant effects on adolescents' happiness. Parent stress, money stress and school stress had significant effects on school life adjustment. Second, the mediating effect of school life adjustment between stress and happiness was significant with parent, school stress, and financial stress. Third, results of the multi-group analysis by level and gender showed that the structure was similar between boys and girls, with the only differences among mediating effects. Boys had significant mediating effects by school stress, and financial stress, while girls had significant mediating effects by school stress, financial stress, and parent stress. Finally, based on the results of the study, practice and policy implications were suggested to support the promotion of adolescents' happiness.

본 연구는 남녀 청소년의 다양한 스트레스와 학교생활적응이 행복감에 미치는 영향과 관계성에 대해서 살펴보고 청소년들의 행복감을 향상시키는 방안의 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다. 연구대상은 '한국 어린이·청소년 행복지수 2018년도 조사' 중고등학교 자료 5,144명을 활용했고, 2017년 교육기본통계자료를 기반으로 학급을 표집단위로 크기비례확률 추출법을 활용하여 표집했다. 구조방정식과 다중집단분석을 통한 연구결과로, 첫째, 청소년들의 행복감에는 학업스트레스, 친구스트레스, 외모스트레스가 부적으로 유의미한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 학교생활적응도 행복감과 정적으로 유의미한 관계였고 각 스트레스와 학교생활적응의 관계에서는 부모스트레스, 경제스트레스와 학업스트레스가 유의미하게 나타났다. 둘째, 각 스트레스와 행복감에서 학교생활적응의 매개효과는 부모스트레스, 학업스트레스와 경제적 스트레스만 학교생활적응을 통해 유의미한 간접효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 각 스트레스와 행복감의 관계에서 남녀차이에 대한 다중집단 구조분석 결과, 두 집단구조가 비슷한 것으로 나타났다. 남녀집단의 매개효과 결과에서는 차이가 있었는데, 남학생은 학업스트레스와 경제스트레스만 유의미한 매개효과가 나타났고, 여학생은 학업, 경제와 부모스트레스가 학교생활적응을 통한 유의미한 매개효과가 있었다. 연구결과에 따른 청소년들의 행복감에 대한 개입과 실천적 함의에 대한 제안과 과제가 제시되었다.
