Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore socio-demographic factors, personality factors, socio-psychological factors, and relationship factors related to happiness of young children's fathers. Method: Subjects of this study were fathers who had 3, 4 and 5 years old children attending childcare centers. Data were analyzed by SPSS 18.0 program. Results: First, father's subjective well-being was predicted by father's extraversion of personality, job satisfaction, satisfaction of economic status, marital intimacy, and relationship with child. Marital intimacy was the strongest predictor of father's subjective well-being. Second, father's global life satisfaction was associated with occupational status, family monthly income, father's extraversion of personality, satisfaction of economic status, marital intimacy, and relationship with child. Father's global life satisfaction was explained by satisfaction of economic status the most. Third, father's meaning of life was related to father's educational level, father's extraversion of personality, job satisfaction, satisfaction of economic status, marital intimacy, and relationship with child. Father's meaning of life was explained by relationship with child the most. Fourth, father's positive emotion was predicted by father's extraversion of personality, job satisfaction, satisfaction of economic status, marital intimacy, and relationship with child. Extraversion of personality was the strongest predictor for father's positive emotion. Fifth, neuroticism of personality and marital intimacy were related to father's negative emotion, and neuroticism of personality was the strongest predictor for father's negative emotion.

Background: Happiness is one of the most important indicators of health, wellbeing, and quality of life among older adults. The objective of the study was to investigate factors associated with happiness among senior citizens residing in rural areas using the 2017 National Survey of Older Koreans. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among 3,149 senior citizens living in rural areas using secondary data from the 2017 National Survey of Older Koreans. Happiness was measured by a single question and responses were recorded dichotomously. Descriptive and inferential statistics were computed at a 5% level of significance. Results: In all, 64.5% of the participants considered themselves as happy most of the time in the last 1 week. In the study, socio-demographic factors did not predict happiness except age. Satisfaction with a health status, financial situation, relationship with children, cultural satisfaction, and satisfaction with friends and society were positively associated with happiness among senior citizens residing in rural areas of Korea. Odds of reporting happiness were higher among those who traveled in the last 1 year, visited elderly welfare centers, and were involved in voluntary work than among those who did not. Conclusion: Happiness among senior citizen was significantly associated with life satisfaction with regard to health, finance, relationship with family, friends and society, and social activity participation.

The questionnaire included Subjective Happiness Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Perceived Stress Scale and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and General Self-Efficacy Scale. Results: Data from 15 children were used for data analysis. The correlational analysis results showed that subjective happiness was positively correlated satisfaction with life, social support, and self-efficacy, and was negatively correlated with perceived stress. Satisfaction with life was positively correlated social support, and was negatively correlated with perceived stress.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: School meals are not just meals consumed at school, they are part of the culture, education, and life experience at school. Nevertheless, few studies have revealed the influence of school meals on students' school lives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of satisfaction with the school meal program on students' school happiness. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A survey conducted in December 2015 asked 2,336 students (1,062 elementary school students, 880 middle school students, and 394 high school students) about their satisfaction with the school meal program and their school happiness. Multiple regression analyses were used to examine the relation between the students' school meal satisfaction and their happiness level. RESULTS: The average level of satisfaction with school meals of elementary school students was 4.1 out of 5 points, comparatively higher than that of middle and high school students, with a significant difference between school levels (P < 0.001). In addition, school happiness, as well as overall happiness, of elementary school students was higher than that of middle and high school students (P < 0.001). The school meal operation factor (0.232, P < 0.001) had the most influence on students' school happiness, followed by the school meal environment factor (0.219, P < 0.001) and school meal quality factor (0.136, P < 0.001). Overall satisfaction (0.097, P = 0.001) and school meal hygiene factor (0.095, P = 0.001) also had significant influences on students' school happiness. CONCLUSIONS: Students' satisfaction with the school meal program was related to their school happiness. Therefore, plans to enhance students' satisfaction with a school meal program needs to be implemented, with emphasis on placing a priority on school meal operation and school environment factors, in order to improve students' level of happiness.

본 연구는 COVID-19 전후 시점에 따른 장애인의 여가사회활동, 생활만족도, 행복 변화의 관계를 살펴보고 독거여부에 따른 조절효과를 살펴보는 데 목적을 두었다. 분석을 위해 장애인고용패널 3,773명의 자료를 분석에 활용하였고 분석결과 여가사회활동의 감소가 생활만족도감소를 더욱 강화시키고, 그에 따라 행복의 감소 역시 커지는 것을 확인하였다. 더불어 독거에 따라 여가사회활동이 생활만족도에 미치는 영향이 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 장애인의 여가사회활동감소가 생활만족도감소로 이어지며 행복 역시 감소되었고, 독거장애인인 경우 이러한 경향이 더 커졌다. 이러한 결과를 통해 사회적 거리두기가 중요하긴 하지만 장애인의 삶의 중요한 보호요인이 될 수 있는 여가사회활동이 축소되는 것에 대한 개입으로서 온라인을 활용한 모임, 문화예술활동 참여, 교육 등의 지원이 필요함을 제언하였고, 더 나아가 장애인사례관리 진행에서도 정신건강에 대한 스크리닝 및 독거장애인에 대한 개입이 필요함을 제언하였다.

이 연구는 태권도 교육 프로그램을 통한 다문화가정 자녀들의 만족도를 향상시켜 건강하고 건전한 태권도 활동을 권면하고 학교생활만족, 여가만족, 행복만족 등의 변화 정도를 확인하는데 목적이 있다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위하여 태권도 교육 프로그램에 참여하는 실험군 20명과 스포츠 활동을 실시하지 않는 비교군 20명으로 구분하여 집단별 사전검사, 중간검사, 사후검사의 반복측정 분산분석의 연구를 수행하였다. 이러한 과정을 통해 얻은 결론은 태권도 교육 프로그램에 참여한 실험군과 스포츠 활동을 하지 않는 비교군은 집단 간 측정시점에 따라 학교생활만족, 여가만족, 행복만족의 변화에 차이가 있었다. 즉, 실험군의 변화는 비교군에 비하여 더 높게 나타났다. 결론적으로 다문화 가정 자녀들의 경우 태권도 교육 프로그램의 참여 기간이 증가함에 따라 뚜렷한 효과가 나타났으며, 학교생활만족, 여가만족, 행복만족은 통계적으로 유의미한 변화가 나타났다.

The current study explores a possible mechanism through which game users' integrated sociopsychological factors lead to a higher level of life satisfaction, based on desire-fulfillment theory as well as hedonic and eudaimonic approaches to happiness. Using data from a survey of 789 game users in South Korea, we tested the relationships of psychological variables (self-esteem and game and life-efficacy), social variables (bonding and bridging social capital), and demographic variables (age and gender) with life satisfaction. Results show that self-esteem and game efficacy were an important antecedent to the degree of users' life satisfaction. Both bonding and bridging social capital increased life satisfaction. The importance of perspectives as well as their implications for game users and further associated research is explored.
