This study was conducted to explore the relationship between social status and happiness in the virtual world, which was not dealt with in previous studies. In addition, this study checked whether people were interested in social status itself or social status growth according to their level of happiness. To this end, the researcher composed conditions of high and low social status, and conditions of large and small growth in social status in online games, and presented them differently depending on the participant. Next, the researcher measured how much happiness level changed before and after exposure to each condition. As a result, happy participants had less of an effect of status on happiness in online games. However, unhappy participants were found to be happy when their status in online games was high and unhappy when they were low. Happy participants also paid attention to whether their status in online game had grown. However, unhappy participants paid attention to their high and low status in online games. This study has implications in that it is a rare study on the effect of happiness on the judgment of social status in the virtual world.

This study aims to examine the mediating effects of positive parenting attitudes, self-esteem, and depression on the relationship between parental happiness and children's happiness. To this end, the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018 were used. Structural equation modeling was implemented based on 2,551 data collected from fourth-grade children of elementary school and their parents. The happiness felt by the parents was found to have a positive correlation with positive parenting attitudes, self-esteem, and happiness perceived by the children, and a negative correlation with the children's depression. And, the happiness felt by the parents was found to affect the happiness of children by sequentially progressing through positive parenting attitudes, children's self-esteem and depression. Such results reflect how parents who perceive themselves to be happy tend to be warm, provide structure, and support the autonomy of their children. This also shows how such positive parenting attitudes encourage children to believe that they are valuable individuals and how this plays a role in reducing their sense of depression and enhancing their happiness.

This study aimed to investigate the social consequences of happiness. For this purpose, we examined the effect of happiness on the formation of adolescents' peer relationship. A total of 241 Korean junior high school students completed a happiness questionnaire consisting of subjective well-being, psychological well-being, self-esteem, and optimism at the beginning of the school year. Four months later, their popularity and social behaviors were measured using self-reports and peer-nomination measures. Happy male students were more likely to become nominated as a preferred friend by their peers at the end of the semester; happy females were evaluated by their peers as being more creative than others. Happy adolescents also viewed themselves as being more sociable, popular, and having more leadership than others. Overall, the findings imply that happiness also have positive social consequences in highly collectivist cultural settings, such as Korea.

처음에는 가족끼리 작은 실천을 했다. 그 기쁨은 컸다. 누군가와 함께 그 기쁨을 나누고 싶었다. 그래서 회사로, 그가 속한 집단으로 나눔이 점차 커져갔다. 최전남 남성기전(주) 대표(한국자동제어공업협동조합 이사장 대한기계설비건설협회 서울특별시회 감사) 이야기다. 최전남 대표의 꾸준한 나눔활동은 한사람의 배려(날개짓)가 여러 불우한 이웃을 행복하게 하는 나비효과를 기대하기 때문이다. 또한 따뜻하고 착한 중소기업의 인식개선에는 이만한 활동이 없기 때문이다. 남에게 배풂으로써 내가 행복하고 이웃이 행복하다는 '행복나눔 전도사' 최전남 대표를 만났다.

인간의 성공과 행복은 스스로 어떻게 하느냐에 달려있다. 끈기와 집념, 성실과 근면, 정직과 선의, 박애와 상조, 시간관리와 끊임없는 자기계발 등. 다시 말해 스스로 행복해지고 성공할 수 있다는 신념이 인간의 행복과 성공을 만든다. 어느 시대를 막론하고 사람들 중 일부는 국가나 제도의 힘을 빌려 행복과 성공을 보장 받으려 할 뿐 스스로 성취하려 하지 않는 경향이 있다. 지난 4월호부터 이런 낡은 정신에서 벗어나 보다 고양된 자세를 통해 삶을 깊이 있게 다듬어 나간 사람들의 이야기를 싣는다.

행복한 결혼은 상대가 상대를 서로 이해하고 협력하는 모습에서 가능하듯이 텔레매틱스 산업에서 디지털콘텐츠와의 행복추구는 정보 공유를 전제해 디지털콘텐츠를 서비스해야 된다. ‘가장 간단한 것이 좋은 것’이라는 니콜라스 네크로폰테의 조언과 같이 디지털콘텐츠의 행복한 결혼이 되기 위해서는 자동차 유저의 요구부터 파악해 공감대 내지는 타당성을 찾아 이를 발전시키는 자세가 절실하다.

행복한 가정의 비결 가운데 첫번째로 꼽힌것도 가족간의 대화이다. 가정의 모든 행복은 바로 '말'에서 시작하고 끝난다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 자녀에게 말한마디가 얼마나 큰 영향을 미치는지 자녀의 입장에서 생각해보는 것이 필요하다.
