Purpose: The purpose of this study was to prepare basic data for education and policy proposals related to enhancement of happiness by identifying factors affecting the subjective happiness among Korean adolescents by family type. Methods: The study was a secondary analysis using the raw data of the 16th Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (2020). A complex sample multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors affecting adolescent happiness by family type. Results: As a result, the factors that commonly affect the subjective happiness of adolescents for all family types were identified as economic status, academic performance, perceived stress, and loneliness. Additional factors that affect the subjective happiness of adolescents of both Korean two-parent and single parent families were sleep and subjective health status. Financial assistance, number of toilets, breakfast, exercise, depression, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempt were also reported for Korean two-parent families. Conclusion: This study provided empirical basic data for enhancing adolescent happiness in consideration of priority targets and family composition characteristics by identifying factors affecting subjective happiness by family type. Adolescent happiness is a factor that should be actively pursued at home, school, and society, and it should be the goal of education for holistic growth of students.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of being aware of the physical and psychosocial environment of the school on subjective feeling of happiness in Korean middle and high school students. Methods: The data of "Health and lifestyle Survey (2019)" conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute were analyzed after receiving approval though the website. A total of 5,311 middle and high school students were included in the analysis. Descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis were executed using SAS 9.4. Results: The mean score of subjective feeling of happiness was 6.92±0.56 out of 10. From the univariate analysis, the more positive the perception of the physical school environment was, such as classrooms, restrooms, exercise facilities, catering facilities, health facilities, other school facilities and school uniform, the higher the subjective feeling of happiness was (p for all <.001). In addition, the psychosocial environment of the school was significantly related to the happiness of adolescents (p<.001). After controlling for gender, school level, school grade, socio-economic status, and stress, positive perception of classrooms (B=0.04, p<.001), catering facilities (B=0.01, p=.021), health facilities (B=0.08, p<.001), and the psychosocial environment of the school (B=0.18, p<.001) was significantly associated with happiness of the students. Conclusion: Positive perception of the school environment was found to increase happiness in adolescents. Therefore, efforts should be made to make classrooms, catering facilities, and health facilities a pleasant space as well as to create a school atmosphere that values health.

Objective: The study aimed to examine the impact of a supportive school environment on children's prosocial behavior by investigating the sequential mediating effects of children's self-esteem and happiness. Methods: Results of the study were obtained by analysing data collected from 633 nine-year-old children in the 10th wave of the Panel Study on Korean Children(2017). The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and significance of mediated pathways using SPSS 23.0 and PROCESS macro 3.3. Results: First, children's self-esteem did not have mediational effects with respect to a supportive school environment and children's prosocial behavior. Second, children's happiness had mediational effects with respect to a supportive school environment and children's prosocial behavior. Lastly, a supportive school environment affects children's self-esteem, which affects children's happiness, thereby promoting children's prosocial behavior. Conclusion/Implications: In order to promote children's prosocial behavior, we should put emphasis on developing a supportive school environment, and increasing children's self-esteem and happiness. It is important that teachers treat children and classmates treat each other with a warm attitude so that they can value themselves and feel happiness in their lives.

목적: 본 연구는 한국 청소년의 가정환경, 건강행태, 심리적 요인 및 식습관 요인에 따른 주관적 건강상태의 차이를 분석하고, 주요 관련요인을 파악하고자 수행되었다. 방법: 분석자료로서 2015~2016년도 한국 청소년 건강행태 온라인조사 자료를 이용하였으며, 분석대상자 수는 중학생 53,791명, 고등학생 50,959명, 총 104,750명이었다. 학생들의 건강수준은 주관적 건강상태를 기준으로 건강집단과 비건강집단으로 구분하였다. 건강수준에 영향을 미치는 요인으로서 성별, 가정환경, 건강행태, 심리적 요인 및 식습관이 검토되었다. 이들 요인 간 건강집단과 비건강집단의 비율차이 검증을 위해 표본설계 정보를 반영한 Rao-scott 카이제곱검정을 실시하였다. 또한 주관적 건강수준에 영향을 주는 요인을 알아보고자 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시하였다. 결과 및 결론: 주관적 건강수준은 양친부모와 살지 않은 경우, 모의 교육수준이 낮을 때, 주관적 가정경제수준이 낮을수록 낮았다. 음주군, 고강도운동이나 근력운동을 실천하지 않는 군, 과체중이나 비만인군에서 주관적 건강수준이 낮았다. 또한 스트레스나 우울감 등 부정적인 감정이나 행복감을 느끼지 못할 때도 주관적 건강수준은 낮았다. 아침을 결식하거나 탄산음료, 고카페인음료, 패스트푸드 등의 비건강식품을 자주 섭취하는 군에서도 주관적 건강수준은 낮은 것으로 관찰되었다. 한국 청소년들에게서 건강 불평등(health inequalities)은 가정환경, 건강행태, 심리적 요인, 식습관 등 여러 요인들로부터 제기되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 요인들을 충분히 반영하여 청소년들이 건강해 질 수 있는 다각적 접근 방안이 모색되어야 할 것이다.
