Abstract

This study examined the effects of social capital on psychological identity and practical wellbeing for the Korean baby boom generation. To achieve this, an empirical survey was carried out on baby boomers who use elderly welfare centers and cultural centers living in D City. The overall research results showed that trust (t=6.893, p<.05), participation (t=5.157, p<.05), network (t=8.093, p<.05), and norm and reciprocity (t=4.787, p<.05), as sub-factors of social capital for baby boomers, had a significant effect on their practical wellbeing. Psychological identity was moderated (t=2.023, p<.05) in the effect of trust on practical wellbeing, adopting the hypothesis. This means that the social ties and the strong trust relationship between family members and relatives, which built up amid rapid economic growth, work with positive expectations of social capital and have a major effect on practical wellbeing. Moreover, practical welling also rated high, along with the high trust relationship and psychological identity. Consequently, various exchange programs and group and volunteer activity programs for baby boomers should be established to decrease their psychological identity due to the loss of social roles. Moreover, the decline of activities at a time of retirement can slow practical wellbeing.

본 연구는 베이비붐 세대의 사회적 자본이 심리적 정체성과 실제적 안녕감에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 대구시에 거주하는 노인복지관과 문화센터 이용중인 286명을 대상으로 실증 조사하였다. 연구 결과, 베이비붐 세대의 사회적 자본의 신뢰(t=6.893, p<.05), 참여(t=5.157, p<.05), 네트워크(t=8.093, p<.05), 규범 및 호혜성(t=4.787, p<.05)은 실제적 안녕감에 유의한 영향을 미치고, 사회적 자본의 신뢰가 실제적 안녕감에 미치는 영향에서 심리적 정체성에 따른 조절효과(t=2.023, p<.05)를 보이는 것으로 나타나 부분 채택되었다. 이러한 결과는 급속한 경제성장기 속에서 쌓은 사회적 유대와 가족 친척간의 돈독한 신뢰관계가 사회적 자본에 대한 긍정적인 기대심리와 작용하여 실제적 안녕감에 중요한 영향을 미치며, 신뢰관계가 높고 심리적 정체성이 상위일수록 실제적 안녕감 또한 높다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 은퇴 시점에서 사회적 역할의 상실과 활동 축소 등으로 심리적 정체성이 낮아질 경우 실제적 안녕감이 떨어질 수 있다는 점에서 이들이 참여할 수 있는 다양한 교류 프로그램과 단체 활동 및 봉사활동 프로그램에의 참여를 증진시킬 수 있는 방안이 마련되어야 한다. 현재 베이비부머 세대들의 대다수는 노후에 대한 실질적인 대비 부족으로 국가의 제도적 혜택마저 제대로 보장받지 못하는 현실에서 이들을 위한 국가 복지적 관점에서의 제도적 보완이 요구됨을 시사한 것으로 평가할 수 있다.
