Abstract

The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for reducing daily stress and depression and improving happiness in middle-aged women by verifying the effect of daily stress on happiness and the mediating effect of depression. For the analysis, the 8th survey of the Women's Family Panel surveyed by the Korea Women's Policy Institute was used. For the sample, SPSS WIN 25.0 was used for 1,673 married middle-aged women aged 55 to 64. As for the analysis method, frequency, technical statistics, and correlation analysis were performed, and the mediating effect of depression was verified through Baron & Kenny's analysis method. The main analysis results are as follows. First, the stress daily of middle-aged women had a negative (-) effect on happiness. Second, Depression was partially mediated in the relationship between daily stress and happiness in middle-aged women. Based on these results, it is significant in that it presents practical and policy measures and programs that can improve middle-aged women's happiness and lead to old age.

본 연구는 중년여성의 일상생활 스트레스가 행복감에 미치는 영향과 우울감의 매개효과를 검증하여 중년여성의 일상생활 스트레스와 우울감을 감소시키고 행복감 향상을 위한 기초자료를 제공하는 데 목적이 있다. 분석을 위해 한국여성정책연구원에서 조사한 여성가족패널 8차 조사를 활용하였다. 표본은 만 55세 이상~ 만 64세 기혼 중년여성 1,673명을 대상으로, SPSS WIN 25.0을 활용하였다. 분석방법은 빈도⋅기술통계⋅상관관계 분석을 실시하였고, Baron & Kenny의 분석방법을 통해 우울감의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 중년여성의 일상생활 스트레스는 행복감에 부(-)적인 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째, 중년여성의 일상생활 스트레스와 행복감 간의 관계에서 우울감은 부분 매개하였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 중년여성의 행복감을 증진시켜 이후 노년기까지 이어질 수 있는 실천적⋅정책적 방안과 프로그램을 제시하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
