한국과 미국대학생의 주관적 안녕감과 심리적 안녕감의 관계 = Relationships between subjective well-being and psychological well-being among Korean and American college students

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구의 목적은 한국과 미국대학생들의 주관적 안녕감과 심리적 안녕감의 관계를 검토하는 것이었다. 이를 위하여 한국대학생 127명과 미국대학생 92명의 삶의 만족도, 정적 정서경험과 부적 정서경험의 빈도, 그리고 심리적 안녕감의 6 차원(Ryff, 1989)을 자기보고법에 의해서 측정하였다. 삶의 만족도에서 한국대학생은 미국대학생보다 낮은 수준을 보여주었지만 정적정서와 부적정서의 차이인 정서균형점수에서는 두 집단간에 차이가 없었다. 심리적 안녕감의 6 차원 중 긍정적 대인관계를 제외한 5 차원에서 한국대학생은 미국대학생에 비하여 낮은 수준을 나타냈다. 두 집단 모두에서 주관적 안녕감에 대하여 자아수용과 환경지배력이 비교적 강한 상관을 보였지만 삶의 목적은 미국대학생집단에서 주관적 안녕감과 더 강한 상관을 보였다. 주관적 안녕감에 대한 회귀분석에서도 자아수용과 환경지배력이 유의미한 설명변인으로 나타났다. 그러나 긍정적 대인관계는 한국대학생집단에서만 그리고 삶의 목적은 미국대학생집단에서만 유의미한 설명변인으로 나타났다.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationships between subjective well-being and psychological well-being among Korean and American college students. Life satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect, and psychological well-being(Ryff, 1989) of 127 Korean and 92 American college students were measured by self-reports. Korean students showed lower life satisfaction than American students but they were not different from American students in the affective balance score that was computed by subtracting negative affect from positive affect. Korean students showed lower scores than American students in 5 dimensions of psychological well-being, except the positive relations dimension. In both Korean and American students, the self-acceptance and environmental mastery dimensions were strongly related with subjective well-being. The purpose of life dimension showed strong relations with subjective well-being only in American students. The results of regression analysis on subjective well-being also indicated that the self-acceptance and environmental mastery dimensions were significant predictors of subjective well-being. The positive relations dimension was a significant predictor of subjective well-being only in Korean students and the purpose of life dimension was a significant predictor of subjective well-being only in American students.
