Abstract

The degree of adolescents' life satisfaction is very low and the formation of social relationship through SNS is getting important to adolescents. This study aimed to examine if bridging social capital and bonding social capital through SNS and political-social participation affect the life satisfaction of adolescents. Using 2012 Adolescents Social Media Usage Survey of National Youth Policy Institute, this study analyzed 4708 data by Multiple Regression. The results showed that the life satisfaction of male adolescents was higher than that of female adolescents. And the higher the level of bridging social capital and bonding social capital through SNS and political-social participation was, the higher the level of adolescents' life satisfaction. On the basis of the results, practical suggestions to increase the life satisfaction of adolescents were discussed.

청소년들의 삶의 만족도가 매우 낮은 상황에서 SNS 이용 증가로 인한 사회적 관계 형성은 중요해지고 있다는 인식 하에서 본 연구는 SNS를 통해 형성된 교량적 사회적 자본과 결속적 사회적 자본, 실질적 정치사회 참여가 청소년들의 삶의 만족에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 했다. 이를 위해 한국청소년정책연구원이 2012년 실시한 2012년 청소년의 소셜미디어 이용실태 데이터 중 주요변수에 모두 응답한 4,708명의 자료를 최종분석에 사용하였다. 연구결과 여학생에 비해서 남학생의 삶의 만족이 높고, SNS를 통해 형성된 교량적 사회적 자본과 결속적 사회적 자본, 정치사회참여의 수준이 높을수록 삶의 만족이 증가했으며, 세 변수들의 상대적 영향력은 결속적 사회적 자본, 정치사회참여, 교량적 사회적 자본의 순으로 더 큰 영향력을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 청소년의 삶의 만족도를 증가시키기 위한 논의가 이루어졌다.
