Lee, Jong Man (Dept. of Management Information Systems, Dongyang Mirae University)
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of offline leisure activities and online leisure activities on depressive symptoms in the COVID-19 endemic. To do this, this study proposed a theoretical model consisting of demographic characteristics such as gender, age, academic background, and monthly income, offline leisure activity types such as socially-oriented activities, online leisure activity types such as information searching activities, entertainment activities, and the level of depressive symptoms. A survey was conducted to confirm research hypotheses, and a total of 99 questionnaires were used for statistical analysis. The major results of analysis reveal that first, monthly income is an important factor in predicting the level of depressive symptoms. Second, both offline socially-oriented activities and online entertainment activities have a negative effect on the level of depressive symptoms. This study has implications in that it identified the characteristics of leisure activities that can reduce the level of depressive symptoms.
