Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediation effects of self-esteem on the relationship between meaning in life and resilience in middle-aged adults. The data were collected from May to June 2019 by giving a questionnaire to 148 middle-aged adults between the ages of 45-64 years. The research tools were meaning in life, self-esteem, and resilience. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression using the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. The result showed that the difference in resilience relating to general characteristics were significant age, religion, and health. There were significant positive correlations among meaning in life, self-esteem, and resilience. Self-esteem had a mediating effect on the relationship between meaning in life and resilience. Based on the findings of this study, in order to strengthen the resilience of middle-aged adults, it is necessary to develop a program that promotes self-esteem as well as meaning in life. This will help them have a healthy middle age and improve their quality of life.

본 연구의 목적은 중년의 삶의 의미와 회복력과의 관계에서 자아존중감의 매개효과를 조사하기 위함이다. 45-64세 중년 148명을 대상으로 2019년 5월부터 6월까지 자료를 수집하였으며, 연구도구는 삶의 의미, 자아존중감, 회복력이었다. 자료분석은 SPSS/WIN 21.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, 다중회귀분석으로 하였다. 연구결과로, 일반적 특성과 관련한 회복력의 차이는 연령, 종교, 건강에서 유의미했다. 삶의 의미, 자아존중감, 회복력 간에는 모두 유의미한 양의 상관관계가 있었고, 자아존중감은 삶의 의미와 회복력과의 관계에서 매개효과를 보였다. 연구결과를 바탕으로, 중년의 회복력이 강화되도록 하기 위해 삶의 이미는 물론 자아존중감이 증진되는 프로그램을 개발해야 한다. 이것은 그들이 중년기를 건강하게 보내고 삶의 질이 증진되도록 도움을 줄 것이다.
