Data were collected from May 25 to June 20, 1999. The instruments for this study were as follows : the meaning of life scale developed by Jung D. R(1978) ; the self-esteem scale developed by Ro, E. Y, Kwon, J. H.(1997) ; the volunteer activity scale developed by Park G. J.(1999), the marital satisfaction scale developed by Choi G. Y.(1999) ; and the health status scale developed by Kim S. Y. (1991). SPSS PC+ was utilized for data analysis. Data were analysed according to frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Sheffe' s test and Pearson' s correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression. The reliability of the tools was tested by Cronbach's $\alpha$ : and it showed reliability scores of 0.88(for the meaning of life tool), 0.81(for the self-esteem tool), 0.94(for the marital satisfaction tool) and 0.78(for the health status tool). The results were as follows: 1) The scores showed that middle-aged women had a moderate level of meaning of life, with a mean of 30.31 and standard deviation of 6.24 (with values ranging from 12.00 to 48.00).

The scores showed that middle-aged women had a very low level of volunteer activity, with a mean of 0.87 and standard deviation of 0.93(with values ranging from 0.00 to 1.00). The scores showed that middle-aged women had a moderate level of satisfaction in their marriages, with a mean of 31.99 and standard deviation of 7.84(with values ranging from 12.00 to 48.00). The scores showed that middle-aged women had a moderate level of health status, with a mean of 6.63 and standard deviation of 1.57(with values ranging from 3.00 to 9.00). 2) There was a statistically significant difference of the meaning of life of middle-aged women according to their religion(F=8.930, p=.000), christian ($31.94{\pm}5.96$) had more meaning th life than buddhists ($28.40{\pm}6.23$). 3) There was a statistically significant correlations between the subject' s self-esteem and the her meaning of life(r=0.477, p=0.000), the subject' s level of volunteer activity and meaning of life(r=.428, p=.000), her level of marital satisfaction and meaning of life(r=.417, p=.000), and her level of health status and meaning of life(r=.261, p=.000) among these middle-aged women. 4) Self- esteem was the highest factor influencing the level of meaning of life in middle-aged women. 40.0% of the total variance of levels of meaning of life by was dependent on self-esteem, volunteer activity, marital satisfaction and health status. In conclusion, the higher the self-esteem and levels of volunteer activity, marital satisfaction, and health status of middle-aged women, the higher the meaning of life for them.

경기도 부천 지역에 소재한 중학교 1, 2, 3학년 남녀 학생 1,030명을 대상으로, 2008년 7월 14일부터 7월 21일까지 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문지를 사용하여 자료를 수집하였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS V.12.0 통계 프로그램을 활용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 첫째, 여학생이 남학생에 비해 자신을 좀 더 비만한 것으로 인식하고 있었으며 남학생에 비해 좀 더 마른 체형을 이상적 체형으로 인식하고 있었다. 또한, 자각체형과 실제 비만도를 비교하였을 때, 절반 가량의 학생이 자신의 체형에 대하여 왜곡되게 인식하고 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 이 가운데 30% 가량은 실제 상태보다 뚱뚱한 것으로 인식하고 있었다. 대체적으로 여학생이, 그리고 비만할수록 현재의 체중에 대하여 불만족 경향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 식생활태도 점수는 여학생이 남학생 보다 낮았으며, 남녀 각각 비만도 집단별 차이는 없었다. 셋째, 자아존중감 점수는 비만도 집단별로 차이가 나타나 저체중집단이 가장 높았고, 비만집단이 가장 낮았다. 성별 차이는 저체중집단에서만 나타났으며, 남학생이 여학생보다 자아존중감 점수가 높았다. 넷째, 체형인식, 식생활태도, 자아존중감은 남녀 학생 각각 상관관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 자신의 체형에 대한 인식이 부정적일수록, 식생활태도가 좋지 않을수록 자아존중감도 낮았다.
