Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of ego-resilience on life satisfaction and the mediating effects of school adjustment between them among first graders, and to provide basic data for improving children's life satisfaction. For this purpose, the investigator collected data from 601 first graders at 25 elementary schools in the Jeonju area and analyzed them with the SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0 statistical programs. The findings were as follows: first, there were significant correlations among the three factors of children's life satisfaction, ego-resilience, and school adjustment; and secondly, both of their ego-resilience and school adjustment had impacts on their life satisfaction, and their ego-resilience had influences on their life satisfaction via school adjustment. These findings indicate that there is a need for supports at various levels to increase the school adjustment abilities of first graders as well as their ego-resilience in order to improve their life satisfaction.

본 연구의 목적은 초등학교 입학초기 아동의 자아탄력성이 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향과 학교생활적응의 매개효과를 알아보고 아동의 삶의 만족도를 증진시킬 수 있는 방안을 마련하는 기초자료를 제공하는 데 있다. 이에 전주지역의 25개 초등학교 1학년 아동 601명을 대상으로 아동 자아탄력성 검사, 학교생활만족도 검사, 삶의 만족도 검사도를 활용하여 설문지를 분석하고, SPSS 22.0과 AMOS 22.0 통계프로그램을 활용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 아동의 삶의 만족도, 자아탄력성, 학교생활적응의 각 요인 간의 상관관계는 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 아동의 자아탄력성과 학교생활적응은 삶의 만족도에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤고, 또 자아탄력성은 학교생활적응을 매개로 하여 아동의 삶의 만족도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 초등학교 1학년 아동의 삶의 만족도를 높이기 위해서는 아동의 자아탄력성을 증가시키는 것 뿐만 아니라 학교생활적응력을 높일 수 있도록 다양한 차원의 지원이 필요함을 시사한다.
