Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between major satisfaction and university life adaptation according to the amount of physical activity for university students. This study implement survey to the 201 university students. Descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, one-way ANOVA and pearson's correlation analysis were conducted for data analyses. The results are as follows. First, university students' major satisfaction with the amount of physical activity is statistically significantly higher than that of low-intensity physical activity groups (p<.05). Second, university life adaptation according to the amount of physical activity was found to be statistically significantly higher in high-intensity physical activity groups than in medium-intensity physical activity groups and low-intensity physical activity groups (p<.05). Lastly, according to the relationship between physical activity, major satisfaction, and university life adaptation of university students, male students have a static correlation between physical activity, major satisfaction (general satisfaction), and university life adaptation (personal emotion adaptation) and female students have a static correlation between physical activity and university life adaptation(social adaptation) (p<.05). This study confirmed that the amount of physical activity of university students is related to their major satisfaction and adaptation to university life. Based on this conclusion, it is expected that university students will be able to manage their university life through physical activities.

본 연구는 대학생을 대상으로 신체활동량에 따른 전공만족도와 대학생활적응과의 관계를 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 따라서 대학생 201명의 데이터를 확보하고, SPSS 22.0프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계분석, 신뢰도분석, 일원변량분석, 상관분석, 사후검증으로는 Tukey방법을 실시하였다. 분석결과는 첫째, 신체활동량에 따른 대학생의 전공만족도는 중강도신체활동집단과 고강도신체활동집단이 저강도신체활동집단 보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<.05). 둘째, 신체활동량에 따른 대학생활적응은 고강도 신체활동집단이 중강도신체활동집단과 저강도신체활동집단보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<.05). 마지막으로 대학생의 신체활동량, 전공만족도, 대학생활적응의 관계를 살펴본 결과 남학생의 경우 신체활동량과 전공만족도(일반만족), 대학생활적응(정서적응)에서 정적상관관계가 있고, 여학생의 경우 신체활동량과 대학생활적응(사회적응)에서 정적상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<.05). 본 연구에서는 대학생의 신체활동량은 전공만족도와 대학생활적응과 관계가 있음을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결론을 토대로 신체활동을 통해 대학생의 대학생활 관리를 도울 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
