Abstract

The purpose of the present convergence study is to investigate the relationship among self control, fairness, and happiness. It is to determine whether fairness had a mediating role in the relationship between self control and happiness. Participants were 275 undergraduate students. Self control, fairness, and happiness scales were used. For data analysis, correlation analysis, factor analysis, structural equation modeling analysis were conducted. The present study used structural equation modeling to examine the relation among variables. The analyses revealed that the present data best fit the research model in which self control were directly associated with happiness and mediated by fairness(${\chi}^2(51)=91.723$, TLI=0.919 CFI=0.937 RMSEA=0.054). The results indicate that self control affect happiness directly. And also self control affect happiness indirectly by mediation of fairness. Self control had a positive effect on fairness and happiness. This suggests that it is important to have educational and psycho-social interventions to improve happiness of undergraduate students.

본 연구는 대학생의 자기통제와 공정함 및 행복 간 구조적 관계를 알아보기 위한 융합연구이다. 이를 위해 대학생 275명(남:107명, 여:168명)명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 먼저 자기통제와 공정함, 행복 설문지를 이용하여 자료를 조사하였고, 선행연구에 따라 연구모형을 설정하였다. 연구방법은 상관분석, 탐색적 요인분석, 구조방정식 모델 분석을 이용하였다. 연구 결과, 자기통제는 공정함을 매개로 행복에 직간접 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타는데, 공정함과 행복에 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 자기통제가 공정함에 직접 영향을 미치고, 공정함을 매개로 대학생의 행복에 직간접 영향을 미치는 요인인 것으로 이해할 수 있다. 이는 자기통제와 공정함이 대학생의 행복에 있어 교육적, 심리사회적 개입을 제공할 때 중요한 요소로 작용할 수 있음을 시사하는 것이다.
