본 연구의 목적은 많은 생활 스트레스를 경험하고 있는 대학생들의 심리적 안녕감을 높일 수 있는 대안을 탐색하고자 사회적 지지와 회복탄력성을 매개변인으로 하여 그 효과를 검증하는 것이다. 본 연구를 위해 서울 인근에 있는 4개 대학 537명의 대학생을 대상으로 생활 스트레스 척도, 사회적 지지 척도, 회복탄력성 척도, 심리적 안녕감 척도를 실시하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 생활 스트레스는 사회적지지, 회복탄력성, 심리적 안녕감에 부적 영향을 미쳤으며 사회적 지지와 회복탄력성은 정적 영향을 미쳤다. 총효과 값에서 회복탄력성의 영향력이 가장 큰 것을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 생활 스트레스가 심리적 안녕감에 이르는 경로에서의 성별의 차이를 살펴보면 사회적지지에서 회복탄력성으로 가는 경로만이 성별에 따른 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 사회적 지지와 회복탄력성의 하위요인들이 심리적 안녕감에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과 사회적 지지보다는 회복탄력성이 더 큰 설명력을 지니고 있었다. 사회적 지지의 하위요인 중에서는 평가적 지지가 유의미한 영향을 미쳤고, 회복탄력성의 하위요인 중에서는 낙관성, 자기효능감, 적극적 도전성, 충동통제력이 심리적 안녕감에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 요인들이었다. 마지막으로 대학생의 심리적 안녕감을 높이기 위한 대안들을 제시하였다.
This study explored mediation effects of social support and resilience to increase psychological well-being among Korean college students who experience life stress. The data from the total number of 537 college students in 4 universities of Seoul area were collected and analyzed about life stress, social support, resilience and psychological well-being. The results are as follows. First, life stress had a negative influence on social support, resilience and psychological well-being, and social support and resilience had a positive influence on psychological well-being. The total effect shows that the influence on resilience is the most effective. Second, the only the path from social support to resilience has the meaningful difference on male and female students. Third, the results that analyzed the influences of social support and resilience sub factors on psychological well-being shows that resilience is more influencial than social support. Among 4 social support sub factors, only evaluative support is valid. Among 6 resilience sub factors, optimism, self-efficacy, reaching out and impulse control are valid. Finally, this study discussed educational implications for the ways to increase psychological well-being for college students.
