Purpose: This study tries to systematically understand factors that explain levels of happiness among pregnant women in the Ecological systems theory. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 169 pregnant women in Korea. Collected data from self-report questionnaires were analyzed by hierarchical regression analysis using the SPSS statistics 23 program. Results: A total of 5 models were examined according to individual, microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem in the Ecological systems theory. In the first model including individual factors, extraversion, neuroticism, and physical and psychological change constitute significant factors explaining happiness. In the second model with microsystem factors and in the third one with mesosystem factors, marital intimacy appears to be a significant factor. In the fourth model including exosystem factors, community service is a significant factor. In the final model with social atmosphere, personality (${\beta}=.15$ for extraversion; ${\beta}=-.30$ for neuroticism), physical and psychological change (${\beta}=-.15$), marital intimacy (${\beta}=.35$), and community service (${\beta}=.18$) turn out to be significant. These factors explain 59% of the variance of happiness in the pregnant women in Korea. Conclusion: Considering the fact that pregnant women's happiness is explained by microsystem and exosystem factors as well as individual factors, developing intervention programs that can promote influencing factors such as marital intimacy and community service is necessary to improve levels of happiness among pregnant women in Korea.

본 연구는 베이비붐세대와 노인세대의 행복영향요인을 비교분석하여, 노년기 행복감의 영향요인의 차이를 밝히는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이에 '2019 서울서베이 도시정책지표조사'자료를 사용하여 베이비붐세대(1955~1963년 출생자) 7,831명과 노인세대(1954년이전 출생자) 7,620명 등 총 15,451명을 표본으로, 주관적 행복감의 정도와 행복감에 영향미치는 요인들에 대해 회귀분석을 실시였다. 분석결과, 베이비붐세대의 행복감의 정도가 노인세대에 비해 유의미하게 높았으며, 행복영향요인으로 연령, 건강, 배우자유무, 종교유무, 경제수준, 직업유무, 여가활동, 문화생활참여, 가족관계, 경제적지지, 심리적지지, SNS참여, SNS이용만족도, 스트레스정도, 근린환경만족도, 녹지환경만족도 등이 유의미하게 나타났으나 두 집단에서 영향요인간에 차이를 보여주었다. 두 집단모두 가족관계가 행복감의 가장 큰 영향요인이었으나 다음으로 베이비붐세대에게는 여가활동참여를 통한 만족도가, 노인세대에게는 경제적지지유무, 즉 필요할 때 경제적 도움을 줄 수 있는 사람의 유무가 행복감에 큰 영향력을 갖고 있었다. 또한 베이비붐세대에는 영향이 없는 SNS참여정도가 노인세대에게는 유의미한 행복영향요인으로 나타나 디지털환경에의 참여가 노인세대에게 중요한 의미임을 보여주었다. 본 연구결과에서 베이비붐세대와 노인세대는 집단적 특징면에서 유의미하게 다르며, 따라서 이들의 노년기 행복추구를 위한 사회복지적 대응은 차별적으로 접근되어야 함을 제안하였다.
