Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify the mediating effect of depression on the effect of forest recreation satisfaction on psychological well-being of customers using forest recreation resources and provide basic data for improving psychological well-being. As for the analysis data, a survey was conducted on 450 customers using forest recreation resources, and the final 355 people were selected as subjects of the survey after removing non-response and insincere responses from 377 copies collected. For analysis, the SPSS WIN 23.0 and Amos 21.0 programs were used, and the mediating effect of depression was verified through descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and structural model of major variables. The study results showed, first, that forest recreation satisfaction had a negative(-) effect on depression. Second, depression was found to have a negative(-) effect on psychological well-being. Third, depression had a complete mediating effect in the relationship between forest recreation satisfaction and psychological well-being. Based on these results, it is meaningful in that programs and practical and policy suggestions were made to improve psychological well-being.

본 연구는 산림휴양자원 이용 고객의 산림휴양 만족도가 심리적 안녕감에 미치는 영향에서 우울의 매개효과를 검증하여 심리적 안녕감 향상을 위한 기초자료를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. 분석 자료는 산림휴양자원 이용 고객 450명을 대상으로 설문조사를 진행하였고, 수거된 377부 중 무응답 및 불성실한 응답을 제거한 뒤 최종 355명을 조사대상자로 선정하였다. 분석을 위해 SPSS WIN 23.0과 Amos 21.0 프로그램을 활용하였고, 주요변수의 기술통계분석과 상관분석, 구조방정식 모형을 통해 우울의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 산림휴양만족도는 우울에 부(-)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 우울은 심리적 안녕감에 부(-)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 우울은 산림휴양만족도와 심리적 안녕감의 관계에서 완전매개효과가 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 심리적 안녕감 증진을 위한 프로그램 및 실천적·정책적 제언을 하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
