노년기 생활환경과 중 고령자의 자원봉사활동: 현금기부 자원봉사활동을 중심으로 = Life Environments and Volunteering among Older Adults: Focused on Money Volunteering

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The paper intends to determine the effects of environments or contexts on volunteering among older adults and explain the why under assumptions of environmental theory on aging. This paper makes attempts to apply concepts, Belonging and Agency to person-environments(p-e) interaction. For the purpose, the study uses 2009 Statistics Korea data of Korean Social Survey and selects a sample of 10,268 people who are more than 55 years old. The Binary Logit model and Tobit model results show that a dependent variable, money volunteering participation is positively related to all environmental variables in statistically meaningful level(p<.000). Also, another dependent variable, yearly frequency of money volunteering is positively related to social environmental variables in statistically meaningful level, but the study fail to find statistically meaningful relationships between the latter dependent variable and residence environment variables. Under the thesis of environmental theory on aging the results are interpreted as follows. Money volunteering among the older people is promoted by identity and autonomy which become formed by Belonging and Agency which are emergent in the process of p-e interaction and as result of long aging in place. This suggests that civic engagement among senior citizens can be improved by bettering environmental conditions in place and environmental variables are considered to be important in the future volunteering studies.
