본 연구는 대학생의 생의 의미와 행복 정도를 확인하고 이들 변수간의 관계를 파악하며 행복에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상자는 경상남도에 소재하는 일개 대학의 재학생 205명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료수집기간은 2016년 10월 10일부터 10월 30일까지였고, 수집된 자료는 빈도와 백분율, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, Cronbach's alpha 계수, Pearson's correlation coefficient 및 multiple regression으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 대상자의 행복 점수는 6점 만점에 평균 4.18점, 생의 의미는 5점 만점에 평균 3.73점이었다. 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 행복 수준은 성별(p=.045), 학년(p=.038), 전공만족도(p<.001), 건강상태(p<.001)에 따라 차이가 있었다. 대상자의 행복은 하위요인인 자신감(p<.001), 자기통제(p<.001), 긍정적 정서(p<.001)와 생의 의미(p<.001), 생의 의미발견(p<.001), 생의 의미추구(p<.001)와 유의한 양적 상관관계를 보였다. 대상자의 행복에 영향을 미치는 요인은 생의 의미발견, 건강상태, 전공만족도가 유의하였고, 전체 설명력은 41%였다. 따라서 생의 의미는 행복에 밀접한 관련성이 있으며, 가장 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 요인임을 확인하였기에 대학생의 행복강화를 위한 전략 개발에 생의 의미를 높이는 전략이 고려될 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: This study analyzes meaning-centered intervention studies conducted in Korea and abroad to compare and confirm their characteristics and results. Methods: A literature search using keywords in English and Korean was performed using nine electronic databases in December 2017. Search participants included adolescents, and interventions conducted in meaning-centered intervention studies were selected for evaluation. A Risk of Bias Assessment tool for non-randomized studies was used for quality assessment. Results: All studies were based on quasi-experimental designs. The semantic intervention included topics such as freedom, choice, responsibility, pain, death, finding value of life, purpose and meaning of life, and becoming a master of my life. All studies used logotherapy, and included meaningful interventions that influenced the meaning and purpose of the life of adolescents. The life satisfaction of adolescents changed significantly when there is a positive and open relationship with their parents. Therefore, an educational program for parents based on meaning therapy is desperately needed. Conclusion: Meaning-centered interventions were found to be effective interventions for exploring the meaning of life not only for adolescents with problems but also for healthy youth, and as such could be used as basic data for the development of an appropriate intervention for enhancing their life.

본 연구는 장기 목표 추구 과정에서 의미 부여가 주관적 안녕감에 미치는 영향에서 삶의 의미의 매개 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 부산 소재 대학생 180명을 대상으로 각자의 장기 목표가 무엇인지 개방형 질문에 대한 답변을 하도록 하고, 목표를 추구하는 과정에서의 의미부여와 삶의 의미 및 주관적 안녕감에 대해 설문조사를 실시하였다. 자료분석은 상관 분석, 위계적 회귀분석을 이용한 매개효과 검증 및 sobel test를 실시하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 상관 분석 결과 의미 부여, 삶의 의미 및 행복은 서로 정적 상관을 나타냈다. 둘째, 회귀분석 및 Sobel test 결과, 장기 목표 추구 과정의 의미 부여가 행복에 미치는 영향에서 삶의 의미는 완전 매개 효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 학생이 장기 목표를 추구하는 과정에서 의미 부여를 하는 것이 전반적인 삶의 의미를 증진시키는 것 뿐 아니라 대학생의 주관적 안녕감을 높이는 데 도움이 됨을 시사한다. 또한 삶의 의미가 대학생의 주관적 안녕감에 매우 중요한 요인임을 보여준다. 마지막으로 후속 연구를 위한 제한점이 논의되었다.
