Second, a higher level of life satisfaction was found among adolescent who were more likely to perceive positive parenting attitudes including monitoring, affection and reasoning. However, there was no significant correlation between negative parenting behavior and life satisfaction. Third, a lower level of life satisfaction was observed among adolescent who were more likely to perceive emotional problems such as depression, aggression and social withdrawal. Fourth, according to the analysis on the effects of parenting attitudes and emotional problems on life satisfaction, affection parenting of all positive parenting styles and depression among emotional problems had an impact on life satisfaction. The more affectionate a parent is with his/her children in parenting, the lower the degree of depression in adolescents, and the lower degree of depression in adolescents, the higher degree of life satisfaction was found among adolescents from single parent households.

The present study investigated the effect of area-specific social networks on urban workers life satisfaction. For this, 356 adults over age 20 were interviewed from June 17th 2013 to June 29th 2013. The findings are as follows: First, the closeness of family network index demonstrates that participants with higher affective support have higher life satisfaction. In addition, stronger extended family network brings more life satisfaction and so does a bigger friendship network. Secondly, the extended family network explains 17.6% of the variance in social networks follows by family network, other network, and friendship network, respectively. The closeness variable of social networks yields statistical significance on all categories of networks. The affective support level in the closeness variable of social networks shows differences as well; family network positively associates with life satisfaction. The purposes of this research are to investigate the actual conditions of urban workers' life satisfaction and the influence of family, extended family, friendship, and other variables on life satisfaction. If social networks have an influence on life satisfaction, to find the domain of social networks that holds the most influences on life satisfaction is an important ground in the process of implementing regional welfare.

본 연구는 미혼모들의 자립의지가 삶의 만족에 미치는 영향과 이 관계에 대한 사회자본의 조절효과를 규명하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위하여 지역사회에 거주하는 총 207명의 미혼모를 대상으로 조사된 설문자료를 활용하여 연구를 수행하였다. 연구문제 해결을 위하여 기술통계, 상관관계, 위계적 다중 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 자립의지와 사회자본, 주관적 건강상태는 삶의 만족에 유의미한 영향을 미쳤다. 미혼모의 자립의지가 높을수록, 사회자본의 수준이 높을수록, 주관적 건강상태가 좋을수록 삶의 만족 수준이 높아지는 것으로 확인되었다. 사회자본의 조절효과를 분석한 결과, 미혼모의 자립의지가 이들의 삶의 만족에 미치는 영향을 조절하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 미혼모들이 같은 수준의 자립의지를 가지고 있더라도 높은 수준의 사회자본을 형성하고 있는 경우 더 큰 삶의 만족 수준을 획득할 수 있음을 의미한다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 미혼모의 삶의 만족을 향상시키기 위한 실천적 개입방안을 제시하였다.

This study examined the effects of self-differentiation on family-life satisfaction and job satisfaction, and investigated the mediating effects of conflict-managing behavior. The participants in the present study were 196 married employees. LISREL was employed to test this hypothetical structural model. The results of this empirical study demonstrated that self-differentiation had positive effects on both family-life satisfaction and job satisfaction, which was mediated by the conflict-managing behavior but did not have a direct effect on either family-life satisfaction or job satisfaction. This study verified that conflict-managing behavior had mediating effects on the relationships among self-differentiation, family-life satisfaction, and job satisfaction. The results indicated that the higher the level of self-differentiation was, the more effective conflict-managing behavior was. And the more effective conflict-managing behavior was, the higher the levels of family-life satisfaction and job satisfaction were.

이 연구의 목적은 개인 수준의 문화적 자본과 국가 수준의 사회 복지 지출이 노인의 생활만족도에 영향을 미치는지 실증적 분석을 통해 설명하는데 있다. 본 연구의 방법은 65세 이상의 노인 3,297명의 대상과 OECD국가 중 총9개 국가를 대상으로 HLM(다층모형)분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 생활만족도와 사회계급은 유의미한 영향이 확인되었다. 따라서 노인의 생활만족도를 증진하기 위해서는 사회계층의 차이를 좁힐 수 있는 정책적·실천적 개입 방안이 마련되어져야 할 것이다. 둘째, 노령연금과 유족연금은 생활 만족도에 큰 영향이 확인되지 않았다. 하지만 상호작용 결과, 사회계급은 생활만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있으며 이는 소득불평등도가 낮을수록 생활만족도에 더 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 결론적으로, 개인과 국가 모두 노인의 생활만족도를 증진시키기 위해 다각적인 관점으로 노력해야 함을 시사하고 있다.

본 연구는 노인의 연령규범과 사회활동, 그리고 삶의 만족도 간의 구조적 인과관계를 검증하고 노인의 죽음준비행동의 조절효과를 검증하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 분석을 위해 2017년 노인실태조사 자료 중 배우자와 자녀가 있는 노인 6,288명을 대상으로 하였으며 구조방정식 모형을 적용하였다. 연구결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노인의 연령규범이 긍정적일수록 노인의 사회활동이 유의하게 상승한다. 둘째, 노인의 사회활동이 늘어나면 삶의 만족도가 유의하게 상승한다. 셋째, 노인의 연령규범이 긍정적일수록 노인의 삶의 만족도가 유의하게 상승한다. 넷째, 노인의 연령규범과 삶의 만족도 간의 관계에서 사회활동의 유의한 정(+)의 매개효과가 있었다. 다섯째, 노인의 연령규범, 사회활동, 그리고 삶의 만족도의 구조적 인과관계에서 죽음준비행동의 조절효과를 검증한 결과 연령규범이 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향에서 죽음준비를 하지 않는 노인이 죽음준비를 한 노인에 비해 그 영향력이 유의한 차이로 크게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 노인의 삶의 만족도를 높일 수 있는 실천방안을 제언하였다.

Previous research on the association between marriage and life satisfaction is limited due to the lack of attempts to investigate the time profiles of life satisfaction around marriage. This study addresses unresolved questions about the positive association between marriage and life satisfaction as well as tests if it is moderated by childhood parental divorce. Using 14 waves of the Korean Welfare Panel Study(N=3,890 individuals or 25,338 person-year observations), the author first used an ordinary least squares model with clustered standard errors and found that married people reported higher life satisfaction before marriage, compared to people who remained single during the survey. This result supports a social selection perspective. Next, the author used a fixed effects regression model and found that the transition into marriage was associated with an initial rise and subsequent decline in life satisfaction. Life satisfaction increased after reaching its lowest level in the third year of marriage. Life satisfaction after the transition into marriage was significantly higher than that observed three or more years prior to marriage. The result supports a social causation perspective. Such changing patterns were not moderated by parental divorce during childhood. This study advances the current literature on marriage and life satisfaction by using a nationally representative longitudinal data set as well as by testing social selection and causation perspectives.
