Abstract

This paper aims at understanding the conceptual definition and the characteristics of happiness of korean university students. We analyzed the data using Hybrid model introduced by Schwartz-Barcott and Kim. The data was conducted from June, 2018 to July 2018. The participants in this study were 13 and an another part of the data was obtained from literatures regarding happiness of university students. We categorized Happiness of korean university students into eight attributes in four dimensions. In other words, The concept of happiness on korean university students is as follows: (i) Satisfaction of Individual's subjective, (ii) Satisfaction of Individual's objective, (iii) Achievement of goal, (iv) A positive cognition for the future, and (v) Relationship satisfaction from meaningful person, (vi) Physical and mental well-being of oneself and meaningful person, (vii) Satisfaction of everyday life, (viii) Satisfaction of college life. The major contribution from this paper is that we provide a guideline for establishing a strategy to reduce negative emotions and increase happiness of university students in korea by identifying the concept of Happiness on Korean university students. Based on this study, we recommend to develop an educational program to increase happiness of university students in korea.

본 연구는 한국 대학생의 행복감의 개념을 정립하고 정의하기 위해 시행되었다. 연구 분석 방법은 Schwartz-Barcott와 Kim의 혼종 모형(Hybrid model)을 이용하였으며, 자료 수집은 2018년 6월부터 2018년 7월까지 13명의 대상자와 대학생의 행복감과 관련된 문헌으로부터 수집하였다. 본 연구 분석 결과, 한국 대학생의 행복감은 4개의 차원과 8개의 속성으로 도출되었다. 결과적으로 한국 대학생의 행복감에 정의는 다음과 같다. 한국 대학생의 행복감은 (i) 현 상황을 있는 그대로 받아들이며 만족하는 개인의 주관적 만족감, (ii) 사회 경제적 요인과 같은 개인의 객관적 만족감, (iii) 꿈을 향해 나아가기 위한 목표의 성취감, (iv) 미래에 대한 긍정적 인지를 의미한다. 또한 (v) 의미 있는 타인으로부터의 지지를 통한 관계 만족감, (vi) 자신과 의미 있는 타인의 신체 정신적 안위감, (vii) 일상생활의 만족감, (viii) 대학생활의 만족감을 의미한다. 본 연구는 한국 대학생의 행복감의 개념을 정립함으로 한국 대학생의 부정적 정서를 감소시킬 수 있는 전략에 실제인 밑거름이 될 수 있는 자료를 제공했다는데 의의가 있다. 본 연구를 기초로 하여 한국 대학생의 행복감을 증진시키기 위한 프로그램 개발을 제안한다.
