This study investigated the relationships between factors of aggression and satisfaction with life and the differences of irrational belief, primary secondary anger thought, and satisfaction with life among four groups classified based on the levels of hostility and verbal aggression. 268 middle school boys in Chungnam areas served as subjects. The results showed that hostility showed the most negative correlation with satisfaction with life. Stepwise regression analyses showed that hostility negatively predicted satisfaction with life, whereas verbal aggression positively predicted satisfaction with life. Factors of irrational belief, primary/secondary anger thought were negatively correlated with satisfaction with life. Analyses of variances revealed that covert hostility group showed higher scores on self-depreciation, disregard and disappointment in intimate relationship situation, hopelessness, whereas overt hostility group showed higher scores on derogation of others/revenge. In addition, covert hostility group showed lower scores on satisfaction with life than other groups. Finally, limitations of this study and suggestions for future study were discussed.

For this, a survey was conducted on middle-aged people in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, and frequency analysis, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis were conducted using SPSS 25.0. As a result of the analysis, life satisfaction was influenced by self-efficacy, social preparation for old age, physical preparation for old age, economic preparation for old age, and academic ability in order and It was confirmed that psychological factors rather than demographic characteristics were more influential factors on life satisfaction of middle-aged people.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between value types and life satisfaction of Korean university students. 275 students' scores for value types, positive·negative affectivity, and subjective well-being were obtained using questionnaires. Data was analysed by correlation analysis and path analysis. The results can be summarized as followings. First, the correlation between all negative affectivity and all value was not significant. Second, conformity, benevolence, self-direction·stimulation, hedonism, achievement and security value types were positively correlated with positive affectivity, whereas, conformity, benevolence, universalism and security value types were positively correlated with life satisfaction. Third, the student's higher scores of conformity, benevolence and hedonism value types induced higher level of positive affectivity, which, in turn, increased life satisfaction. The results suggested that value types can indirectly influence life satisfaction through positive affectivity.

This study used data from the 8th main survey of the National Old Age Security Panel to find out the effect of grandparents' capital that provides family care for grandchildren on life satisfaction. As a result of the study, the influence of capital of the study subjects on life satisfaction was 20.1%. Among the grandparents' capital, household gross income and health status had a significant positive (+) effect on life satisfaction. In other words, the higher the household gross income of grandparents who provide family care to grandchildren and the better the health status, the higher life satisfaction. On the other hand, caring time was found to have a negative (-) effect on life satisfaction, which means that the longer the time to care for grandchildren, the lower the life satisfaction of grandparents. These results suggest factors influencing grandparents' life satisfaction in these days when the likelihood of grandparents caring for grandchildren increases, and it was found that household gross income, health status, and caring time are major variables. Based on this, a plan was suggested to increase the life satisfaction of grandparents caring for grandchildren.
