BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Happiness is an important factor in life, and food literacy (FL) has been emphasized as a core concept for a happy and healthy life. This study examined the level of happiness of Seoul citizens according to their sociodemographic factors and their association with FL. SUBJECTS/METHODS: This study used the data from the Seoul Food Survey, a cross-sectional study conducted on 4,039 Seoul citizens from September to October 2021. FL was measured using a validated questionnaire consisting of 33 items from 3 sub-domains: 14 items in the nutrition and safety domain, 8 items in the cultural and relational domain, and 11 items in the socio-ecological domain. Statistical analysis involved descriptive statistics and multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS: Various sociodemographic factors, such as household income, subjective health status, and food insecurity, were found to be associated with the level of happiness. The level of FL was also associated with the happiness scores. After adjusting for variables associated with happiness, the participants with the highest quartile FL scores were 7.32 times more likely to respond that they were happy than those with the lowest FL score. Three FL domains and total FL showed linear increases in overall happiness after controlling for subjective health status and sociodemographic factors (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: After adjusting for the related covariates, higher levels of FL were associated with higher scores in happiness. Based on this study, it would be meaningful to evaluate ways to intervene in FL to improve the level of happiness among the general population.

The participants were 412 college students aged from 20 to 28. Data were analyzed using Cronbach's alpha, frequencies, percentiles, means, standard deviations, two-way ANOVAs and hierarchical regression analyses. The major findings were as follows. 1) In optimism, there were no significant differences in gender and the year of study in college. In orientations to happiness, male students pursued engagement in happiness more than female students and the seniors reported a significantly higher level of pursuit of happiness than freshmen did. In terms of psychological well-being, seniors scored significantly higher psychological well-being than freshmen. 2) Optimism and orientations to happiness were significant predictors of the psychological well-being of college students. With circumstances and optimism controlled, orientations to happiness still showed 13% variance in psychological well-being.

본 연구에서는 게임 수행이 청소년들의 행복도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 부산 지역 중 고등학생들에 대한 설문 조사 결과 게임 수행 여부는 청소년의 행복도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었다. 게임을 한다고 응답한 청소년들의 행복도가 게임을 하지 않는다고 응답한 청소년들의 행복도보다 유의미하게 높다는 결과가 도출되었다. 어떤 게임을 수행하는지, 그리고 얼마나 게임을 오래 하는지, 게임을 잘하는지 여부는 행복도에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 게임을 더 오래하고, 잘한다고 행복해지지는 않으며, 단지 게임을 하는가 여부가 행복도에 영향을 미쳤다. 게임 수행 여부 외에 행복도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요소는 공부를 잘하는가 여부였다. 결론적으로 게임을 수행하는지 여부는 공부를 잘하는지와 같이 청소년들의 행복도에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인이었다. 게임을 하는 청소년은 게임을 하지 않는 청소년보다 행복도가 높다.

This study explores economic and psychological factors as well as dietary, clothing, and dwelling lifestyle factors that influence the happiness of college students. For this, a survey of 570 students (222 males and 348 females) was conducted using 72 categories, including general characteristics, the happiness index, the health index, and economic, psychological, dietary, clothing, and dwelling factors. Gender differences in student characteristics were analyzed through an independent samples t-test, and relationships between variables were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients. Variables showing significant correlations with the happiness index were classified as independent variables for the dependent variable of the happiness index and used for a regression analysis. The happiness index showed no significant gender difference, but it was higher for males than for females. Males scoring higher in the economic lifestyle and self-esteem, among others, were more likely to think practically, and their economic lifestyles were relatively rational. In both genders significant positive correlations were found between the happiness index and allowance satisfaction, the allowance level, the economic lifestyle, self-esteem, major satisfaction, and peer satisfaction. Variables more likely to influence the happiness index for males were self-esteem, peer satisfaction, the economic level, major satisfaction, and regular exercise, whereas those for females were self-esteem, peer satisfaction, and stress eating. These results indicate that emotional factors such as self-esteem and peer satisfaction were more likely to influence the happiness index of college students for both genders than economic and physical factors.

본 연구는 부모의 행복과 자녀의 행복 간의 관계를 살펴보고 자녀가 지각하는 부모의 긍정적 양육태도, 자아존중감, 우울이 이들의 관계를 매개하는지 조사하였다. 한국 아동·청소년 패널 조사 2018 (Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey: KCYPS 2018) 1차 연도 자료를 활용하였으며 초등학교 4학년에 재학 중인 아동과 그 부모로부터 수집된 2,551부의 자료를 토대로 구조방정식 모델링을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 부모가 느끼는 행복은 자녀가 지각한 긍정적 양육태도, 자아존중감, 행복과 정적 상관이 있으며 자녀의 우울과 부적 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 부모의 행복은 긍정적 양육태도, 자아존중감과 우울을 순차적으로 거쳐서 행복에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 행복하다고 지각하는 부모들이 자녀에게 따뜻하고, 구조를 제공하며 자율성을 지지해주는 경향이 있다는 것을 보여준다. 그리고 이러한 긍정적 양육태도는 자녀에게 자신이 가치 있는 사람이라는 믿음을 갖게 하여 우울을 낮추고 행복을 높이는 데에 기여한다는 것을 보여준다.

본 연구의 목적은 정서적 인지적 공감 요인으로서 공감적 관여와 조망수용이 행복감을 예측하는지를 확인하고, 그 과정에 인지적 정서조절 기제인 인지적 재평가가 매개하는지를 검증하는 데 있다. 336명의 대한민국 성인 남녀를 대상으로 공감적 관여, 조망수용, 인지적 재평가, 행복감을 포함한 설문을 진행하였다. 분석 결과, 공감적 관여와 조망수용은 모두 인지적 재평가, 행복감과 유의한 정적 상관을 보였고, 인지적 재평가 역시 행복감과 유의한 정적 상관을 보였다. 또한 매개분석 결과, 인지적 재평가는 공감적 관여와 행복감 간의 관계는 물론 조망수용과 행복감 간의 관계 사이에서 유의한 수준으로 매개효과를 보였다. 구체적으로, 타인에게 정서적으로 공감하고 또한 인지적으로 이해하고 수용하는 사람들은 정서조절 장면에서 자신에게 처한 상황을 다시 바라보고 재평가하는 경향이 있어, 이는 궁극적으로 행복감으로 이어지는 것이다. 이 결과는 개인이 행복한 삶을 영위하기 위해 삶을 넓은 시각으로 보아야 하며 여기에 타인에 대한 공감이 기여하게 된다는 점을 보여준 결과라고 볼 수 있다. 끝으로, 본 연구의 시사점과 한계점이 함께 논의되었다.

본 연구는 보육교사의 행정업무스트레스와 행복감 및 교사효능감 간의 관계를 분석하는데 목적을 두었다. J 지역 보육교사 243명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 수집된 자료는 Jamovi 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계와 관련성과 매개효과를 분석하였다. 자료분석 결과 첫째, 보육교사의 행정업무 스트레스와 교사효능감, 행복감은 정규성 가정을 충족하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 업무 스트레스와 교사효능감, 행복감 간의 관계 분석에서 행정업무 스트레스와 교사효능감은 통계적으로 유의한 부적인 상관이 나타났고, 행복감과 교사효능감은 유의한 정적인 상관을 나타냈다. 또한 행복감과 행정업무 스트레스의 상관에서는 부적인 상관을 나타냈는데 이는 행정업무 스트레스가 높을수록 교사효능감과 행복감은 감소하고, 행복감이 높을수록 교사효능감이 높아진다고 볼 수 있다. 셋째, 행정업무 스트레스는 행복감과 교사효능감을 의미있게 예측하는 변인으로 나타났으며, 매개효과에서 교사효능감은 부분적으로 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 행복감과 교사효능감에서 행정업무 스트레스가 중요하게 고려되어야 함을 알 수 있었고, 보육교사 처우 개선의 방향성을 제시하였다.
