This study explored the relationship between self-esteem of soldiers and adaptation to military life and verified the mediating effect of depression in such relationships. The subjects of this study were 230 Army soldiers based in Gangwon-do. The collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, difference verification, hierarchical regression analysis, and the mediating effect method. First, according to the difference verification, the level of adaptation to military life was higher when the health status was good, among the general characteristics, when the family health was good, when the soldiers had friends, when they were sergeants rather than privates or corporals, and when they had someone to discuss their concerns. Second, the hierarchical regression analysis showed that the soldiers adapted to the military life better with better health status, when they served as combat soldiers, and when they had someone to consult. In addition, the higher the self-esteem, the main variable, and the lower the depression level, the higher the level of adaption to military life. Third, as a result of the mediating effect analysis, depression was found to have a partial mediating effect in the relationship between self-esteem and military adaptation. Therefore, this study presented practical alternatives to increase self-esteem and reduce depression as a factor to cope with soldiers' adaptation to military life.
