Many studies have demonstrated that family plays a crucial role in health and wellbeing in life. There has been little research, however, examining the relative importance of activities together with family members in middle-aged adults. The goal of this study was to examine the effect of family meal, phone conversation with family, and family leisure activities on happiness, health, and family relationship. Total 286 middle-aged adults (M=50.13) participated in this study. Dependent variables were happiness (SWB), physical and psychological illness symptoms, family satisfaction, sex satisfaction, and parenting sense of competence. This research showed that (1) frequency of meal with family was positively correlated with happiness, family relationship, and negatively physical/psychological illness symptoms; (2) high frequency of talking on the phone with family resulted in that high level of happiness, family satisfaction, sex satisfaction, and parenting sense of competence, and lower illness symptoms; (3) the more participants spent leisure time with family, the happier and the more family satisfaction they feel. Findings suggest that activities together with family members in middle-aged adults may enhance their happiness, health, and quality of family relationship.

This study considered allocating and balancing time use as an important factor that determines the quality of life, and attempted to analyze the happiness of married women through the perspective of satisfaction with time use. We investigated the structure of time use, and analyzed the factors that affect happiness in the perspective of time use through the Time Use Survey data. Analyzing the happiness of married women, we found out that the level of happiness and the factors affecting happiness varied by generation. In the case of economically active women, the happiness of baby boomers and Generation X was mostly impacted by mandatory work hours, while the happiness of Generation Y was mostly impacted by the presence of care-dependent people. However, in the case of economically unactive women, the happiness of baby boomers and Generation X was mostly impacted by leisure and volunteering time that could be used freely, while the happiness of Generation Y was mostly impacted by the attitude toward gender roles. Therefore, through the perspective of time use, the happiness and the factors determining the happiness of married women differs by generation and economic activeness. This study has significant implications for the establishment of family policies for married women.

This study aims to verify the structured relationship between college students' stress and their stress in the meditating depression and self-efficacy. Findings of the research are summarized as follows. The study looked into how stress would directly affect depression and self-efficacy. It was found that the stress would have immediate effects on depression and self-efficacy. In addition, it was noticed that stress indirectly influences college students' subjective happiness in meditating factors of depression and self-efficacy. After the investigation on the immediate effects of depression in relation to the self-efficacy, results of the study indicated that depression has an immediate negative influence on the self-efficacy. Self-efficacy appeared to affect subjective happiness positively and directly. However, its indirect effects on the subjective happiness was confirmed. Although the study failed to find any direct influence of the stress on subjective happiness, it was learned that stress causes an indirect effect through the meditating factors of depression and self-efficacy. In conclusion, the study suggests that subjective happiness can be improved by stress and depression relaxation, and improvement of self-efficacy.
