Abstract

This study was conducted to identify factors that affect the life satisfaction of college students. The subjects of this study were 191 students from three universities located in one area, and the data collection used self-reported questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Independent T-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and Multiple Regression Analysis. The results of the study showed that significant factors affecting the life satisfaction of the subjects were self-esteem and school life satisfaction, and the explanatory power according to the influence factors was 42.3%. The research results suggest that improving college students' self-esteem and school life satisfaction can help them improve their life satisfaction. Therefore, it is necessary to consider self-esteem and school life satisfaction when developing educational programs to improve the life satisfaction of college students in the future.

본 연구는 대학생의 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위해 실시되었다. 연구대상자는 일 지역에 위치한 3개 대학의 재학생 191명으로 하였으며, 자료수집은 자가보고 설문지를 활용하였다. 자료분석은 빈도, 백분율, 평균, 표준편차, 독립표본 T검정, 일원배치 분산분석(One way ANOVA), 피어슨의 상관계수(Pearson Correlation Coefficient), 다중회귀분석(Multiple Regression Analysis)을 사용하였다. 연구결과 대상자의 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 유의한 요인은 자아존중감과 학교생활 만족도로 나타났으며 영향요인에 따른 설명력은 42.3%로 나타났다. 연구결과는 대학생의 자아존중감과 학교생활 만족도 향상이 대학생의 삶의 만족도를 높여주는데 도움이 될 수 있다는 것을 시사한다. 따라서 향후 대학생의 삶의 만족도 향상을 위한 교육프로그램 개발 시 자아존중감과 학교생활 만족도 증진을 위한 고려가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
