Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationships between online and offline social capital and psychological well-being of university students. Data came from 236 university students who attended 4-year universities in Seoul and had used Social Network Service. The results of this study indicated that only offline social capital was statistically significant to predict psychological well-being including depression and happiness when both online and offline social capital variables were entered. In detail, the university students' depression was associated with their gender, satisfaction with their economic status, and offline bridging social capital. In addition the students' happiness was associated with their satisfaction with their economic status, offline bridging, and bonding social capital. These results indicate that offline social capital is more important for improving psychological well-being of university students compared to online social capital. Policy implications for improving psychological well-being of university students are discussed.

본 연구는 대학생의 온라인 및 오프라인 사회적 자본과 심리적 복지감 간의 관계를 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 서울지역 4년제 대학에 재학 중이며 소셜 네트워크 서비스를 이용하고 있는 236명의 대학생을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 본 연구의 종속변인인 대학생의 심리적 복지감은 우울과 행복으로 각각 측정하였고, 사회인구학적 변인과 온라인 및 오프라인 사회적 자본(연계형 및 결속형)을 독립변인으로 하는 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 우선 대학생의 우울을 예측하기 위해 사회인구학적 변수와 온라인 및 오프라인 사회적 자본을 함께 투입한 결과, 성별, 주관적 경제만족도, 오프라인 연계형 사회적 자본만이 대학생의 우울과 관련된 것으로 조사되었다. 다음으로 대학생의 행복을 예측하는데 있어 주관적 경제만족도와 오프라인 연계형 및 결속형 사회적 자본이 통계적으로 유의미한 변인으로 나타났다. 즉, 온라인과 오프라인 사회적 자본을 함께 고려하였을 경우 오프라인 사회적 자본만이 대학생의 우울과 행복과 같은 심리적 복지감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 이와 함께 본 연구 결과의 시사점 및 정책적 제언에 대해 논의하였다.
