Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effect of emotional intelligence on college students' sense of community and psychological well-being. Accordingly, a survey was conducted targeting 267 college students attending universities in the Busan and Gyeongnam regions. For data analysis, the SPSS 21 program was used to check the general characteristics of the survey subjects, the mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis of the main variables. Correlation analysis was performed to check multicollinearity among the main variables, and mediation effects were examined. For this purpose, regression analysis was conducted according to the three-step verification method proposed by Barron and Kenny.The results of this study were as follows. First, college students' sense of community was found to have a significant impact on their psychological well-being. Second, the sense of community perceived by college students was found to have a significant impact on emotional intelligence. Third, emotional intelligence was found to have a significant impact on psychological well-being. Lastly, emotional intelligence was confirmed to have a partial mediating effect in the relationship between college students' sense of community and psychological well-being. Lastly, emotional intelligence was confirmed to have a partial mediating effect in the relationship between college students' sense of community and psychological well-being. Accordingly, we strive to find and implement various ways to increase the sense of community that is closely related to the emotional intelligence skills and social participation of college students in the special situation of college, so that college students can form and sustain a happier and more satisfying life. We will have to help you do it.

본 연구는 대학생들의 공동체 의식과 심리적 안녕감에서 정서지능의 매개효과를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이에 부산·경남 지역의 대학교에 재학중인 대학생 267명을 대상으로 설문조사를 진행하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 21 프로그램을 활용하여 조사대상자의 일반적 특성, 주요변인의 평균, 표준편차, 왜도 및 첨도를 확인하였고 주요 변인들간에 다중공선성을 확인하고자 상관관계 분석을 실시하였으며 매개효과를 살펴보기 위해 Barron과 Kenny가 제안한 3단계 검증 방식에 따라 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대학생의 공동체 의식은 심리적 안녕감에 유의미한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 대학생이 인식하는 공동체 의식이 정서지능에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 정서지능이 심리적 안녕감에 유의미한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 대학생의 공동체 의식과 심리적 안녕감 간의 관계에서 정서지능은 부분 매개 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 이에 우리는 대학이라는 특수 상황에서 대학생들의 정서지능 기술과 사회적 참여에 밀접한 관련이 있는 공동체 의식을 높이는 다양한 방안을 찾아보고 실행하려는 노력을 통해 대학생들이 보다 행복하고 만족스러운 자신의 삶을 형성하고 지속해 나갈 수 있도록 도와야 할 것이다.
