Results were as follows: Firstly, middle school students showed the highest levels of life satisfaction, and vocational high school students reported the lowest levels. Also, life satisfaction was inversely related to school grades. Secondly, for all the students, life satisfaction was positive correlated with self-esteem, open communication with parents, school life satisfaction, and social-cultural satisfaction. Lastly, open communication with parents and overall satisfaction with life at school explained more of the variance in adolescent life satisfaction than any other factors.

본 연구는 65세에서 80세 사이의 연령대에 있는 서울/경기지역 노인복지센터에 참여하는 217명의 한국 노인들을 대상으로 이들의 사회활동, 종교적 경험, 영성 수행 등이 노인 우울증 및 삶의 만족에 미치는 영향을 탐구하기 위하여 수행되었다. 종교 및 영성에 관련된 변수는 일상적 영성 경험, 가치관, 관용, 개인의 종교 활동, 종교 및 영적 수양, 종교적 지지 등 여섯 가지 영역으로 나뉘어 측정되었다. 사회활동과 종교 및 영성을 측정하기 위하여 사회활동척도 (Social Activities Scale)와 종교/영성 다중체계 척도 (Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiosity/Spirituality)를 사용하였으며, 우울증 측정을 위해서는 노인우울척도(Geriatric Depression Scale)를 적용하는 동시에 삶의 만족도 측정은 삶의 만족척도 (satisfaction with Life Scale)를 사용하였다. 인구학적 변인들을 통제한 후 분석한 연구결과, 높은 수준의 종교 및 영적 수양, 사회활동, 높은 소득수준, 낮은 수준의 일상적 영성 경험이 노인들의 우울증 발생에 낮게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 여성일수록, 고령일수록, 사회활동이 낮을수록 삶의 만족도는 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 추후 연구에 대한 제언 및 사회복지 실천에 대한 함의를 논하였다.

Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire to explore positive and negative psychological factors. The questionnaire included Subjective Happiness Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Perceived Stress Scale and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and General Self-Efficacy Scale. Results: Data from 15 children were used for data analysis. The correlational analysis results showed that subjective happiness was positively correlated satisfaction with life, social support, and self-efficacy, and was negatively correlated with perceived stress. Satisfaction with life was positively correlated social support, and was negatively correlated with perceived stress. Conclusion: Results indicate that the positive psychology factors were closely related with social support and self-efficacy and may alleviate perceived stress and depressive feelings. Therefore, researchers and clinicians should include positive psychological factors in their health management model for children with chronic illness.

SWLS(Satisfaction With Life Scale)는 국내외에서 가장 많이 사용되는 삶의 만족도의 측정도구이다. 본 연구는 연령과 성별이 다른 집단에서 SWLS의 요인구조와 측정동일성을 검토했다. 성인 초기 대학생 433명(남자 195명, 여자 238명)과 중년기 성인 503명(남자 237명, 여자 266명)으로 구성된 총 936명의 자료를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 확인적 요인분석을 사용하여 SWLS의 요인 구조를 검토했을 때, 4번과 5번 문항간 잔차를 허용한 수정된 단일요인모형이 지지되었다. 따라서 SWLS는 한국에서도 과거 시점을 반영하는 4번과 5번 문항이 다른 문항들과 구별되는 속성을 공유하는 것으로 확인되었다. 둘째, SWLS는 남성과 여성 집단 간에 형태, 요인부하량, 절편, 오차변량의 동일성이 모두 지지되었다. 그러나 대학생과 중년의 성인 집단 간에는 부분측정동일성만이 지지되었다. 이러한 결과는 SWLS 척도를 사용하여 한국인의 연령 및 성별 삶의 만족도를 비교하는 것이 가능하지만, 연령차를 해석할 때에는 보다 세심한 주의를 기울일 필요가 있음을 시사한다.

This study develops a scale for consumer clothing satisfaction based on Lee et al. 's (2002) five stages of the consumer life cycle (acquisition, possession, consumption, maintenance, and disposal). Data were gathered by surveying college students using convenience sampling, and 419 questionnaires were used in the statistical analysis. In analyzing the data, an exploratory factor analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis using a structural equation modeling were conducted. The proposed scale, which identified various sources of satisfaction and dissatisfaction associated with the 5 consumption cycles of clothing, suggests some guidelines for marketers in enhancing consumer clothing satisfaction across consumption stages. The model test for the scale also identified that consumption satisfaction had the greatest effect on consumer clothing satisfaction showing the strongest loading and squared multiple correlation.

The data were collected by a structured questionnaire that included general characteristics, Geriatric Leisure Activity Scale, Geriatric Life Satisfaction Scale, Geriatric Depression Scale, from March to December, 2004. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS program including descriptive statistics, ${\chi}^2-test$, t-test, Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Hierarchical Regression. Result: In hierarchical regression, the elders who live with their children showed more life satisfaction than elders who lived by themselves. However, living arrangement showed no effect on the level of depression of the elderly parents. Significant leisure activity interaction effect was found on the depression among the elderly: The elderly with no leisure activity reported lower levels of depression when they lived with their adult child. Conclusion: It is necessary to explore further the various relationship among living arrangement and life satisfaction of the elderly, their preferences and expectations regarding inter-generational obligations and living arrangements.
