Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the moderated mediation effect of an only-child status on the mediating effect of hope in the relationship between social support and life satisfaction of college students. The participants for this study were 302 undergraduates selected from a university in Guangdong province of China under a purposive sampling way. SPSS PC+ Win. ver. 25.0 and SPSS PROCESS macro ver. 4.2 were used to analyze the data. The applied statistical techniques were frequency analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and moderated mediation effect analysis. The results were as follows: First, there were positive and significant correlations between social support, hope and life satisfaction. Second, as a result of the moderated mediating effect analysis, the indirect effect of social support on life satisfaction through hope was higher for only children than for other children. Based on this, suggestions were made to improve life satisfaction.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 사회적 지지와 삶의 만족도 간의 관계에서 희망의 매개효과를 외동자녀 지위가 조절 매개하는지를 규명하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 대상은 중국 광둥성의 한 대학에서 의도적으로 표집한 302명의 대학생이다. 자료는 SPSS PC+ Win ver. 25.0과 SPSS PROCESS macro ver. 4.2를 활용하여 분석하였으며, 적용된 통계 기법은 빈도분석, 신뢰도분석, 상관관계분석, 조절된 매개효과 분석이다. 연구 결과 첫째, 사회적지지, 희망, 삶의 만족도 간에 정적인 유의미한 상관관계가 있었다. 둘째, 조절된 매개효과 분석 결과 외동자녀가 그렇지 않은 자녀에 비해 사회적 지지가 희망을 경유하여 삶의 만족도에 미치는 간접효과가 높았다. 이를 바탕으로 삶의 만족도 향상을 위한 제언을 하였다.
