Abstract
This study was conducted to identify factors that affect the life satisfaction of college students. The subjects of this study were 191 students from three universities located in one area, and the data collection used self-reported questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Independent T-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and Multiple Regression Analysis. The results of the study showed that significant factors affecting the life satisfaction of the subjects were self-esteem and school life satisfaction, and the explanatory power according to the influence factors was 42.3%. The research results suggest that improving college students' self-esteem and school life satisfaction can help them improve their life satisfaction. Therefore, it is necessary to consider self-esteem and school life satisfaction when developing educational programs to improve the life satisfaction of college students in the future.
