This study aims to examine the structural relationship among attachment type, stress coping methods, and subjective well-being of elementary school students attending the elementary aftercare center using PLS-SEM.
The subjects of this study are 65 elementary school students, with 28 males and 37 females who participated in the elementary aftercare center in the G province. The instruments used in the study are elementary school students' attachment types, stress coping methods, and subjective well-being. In this study, the measurement model is composed of reflective indicators. The structural model sets the stress coping method as a mediator in the effect of elementary school students' attachment type on subjective well-being. The SPSS 27.00 program was used to conduct descriptive statistics analysis, and the SmartPLS 4.08 program was used for PLS-SEM analysis of the research model. The study's results showed that the higher the intimacy-type attachment from dual-earner families participating in the elementary aftercare center, the lower the passive coping, and the higher the intimacy-type attachment, the higher the subjective well-being. In addition, the active coping method increases subjective well-being, and there was no mediating effect of the stress coping method in the relationship between the attachment type and subjective well-being of elementary school students. This study examined the mediating effect of stress coping methods in the relationship between the attachment type of elementary school students and the subjective well-being of dual-earner families participating in the elementary aftercare center. Significantly, it revealed that the results of subjective well-being could vary depending on the difference between children.
Through this study, it is expected that basic information on how to support students from dual-earner families who attend the elementary aftercare center can be provided.
