본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 종교지향과 종교적 원리주의가 주관적 웰빙과 어떤 관계가 있는지와, 웰빙에 대한 종교지향과 종교적 원리주의의 상호작용을 탐색하는 것이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 서울시에 위치한 한 대학에 재학하고 있는 374명의 대학생들이었으며, 그들의 평균 연령은 22.54(SD=4.79)세였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 심리검사는 I/E-R 종교지향척도, 종교적 원리주의척도, 영적안녕척도, 정서빈도검사, 삶의 만족척도, 주관적 행복척도, 삶의 동기척도 및 삶의 기대척도이다. 분석 결과, 종교를 가진 대학생은 그렇지 않은 대학생보다 종교적 안녕을 더 경험하고 있었지만 주관적 웰빙 수준은 더 높지 않았다. 대학생의 종교지향은 영적 안녕은 물론, 삶의 만족, 주관적 행복, 긍정정서 등과 같은 웰빙 변인과 관계가 있었다. 하지만 종교지향이 주관적 웰빙 변인과 공변하는 부분은 4~6%가량 밖에 되지 않았다. 종교적 원리주의는 영적 안녕이나 삶의 만족과는 정적 상관이 있었지만, 삶의 동기와는 부적 상관을 보였다. 한편, 대부분의 주관적 웰빙 변인과 종교지향의 관계에서 종교적 원리주의의 조절효과가 발견되었다. 단순주효과 분석결과, 종교적 원리주의 성향이 약한 대학생의 경우 종교지향이 수준에 따라 주관적 웰빙 수준에 큰 차이가 없었지만, 종교적 원리주의 성향이 강한 경우 종교지향이 수준이 강하면 그렇지 않은 것보다 실존적 안녕 수준이 높고 긍정정서나 행복감을 더 느끼고 삶을 만족하고 있었는데, 특히 미래의 삶에 대한 동기와 기대 수준이 매우 높았다. 이런 결과는 종교 관련 변인들이 상호작용하며 주관적 웰빙에 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how religious orientation of college students and the religious fundamentalism are related to their subjective well-being, and the interaction of religious orientations and the religious fundamentalism on their well-being. The participants were 374 college students who studies at an university located in Seoul, whose average of age were 22.54 (SD=4.79). The psychological tests used in this research included the following: I/E-R, the Religious Fundamentalism Scale, the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, Emotion Frequency Test, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Subjective Happiness Scale, Life Satisfaction Motivation Scale, and Life Satisfaction Expectancy Scale. Although religious students experienced more religious well-being than non-religious students, their subjective well-being were not higher than those of non-religious students. Results reveal that religious orientations were positively related to subjective well-being such as life satisfaction, subjective happiness, and positive emotions, as well as spiritual well-being. However, those covariance was approximately 4~6% only. Religious fundamentalism was also positively related to spiritual well-being and life satisfaction, it was negatively related to the motivation to live though. On the other hand, moderate effects of the religious fundamentalism on the relations of religious orientations to most of subjective well-being variables. Results of simple main effect analyses indicated that the students who were strongly oriented toward religion with higher religious fundamentalism showed significantly higher existential well-being, positive emotions, life satisfaction, subjective happiness, and especially their motivation and expectation for future life, whereas there were no significant differences in subjective well-being of students with lower religious fundamentalism by religious orientation. This finding suggests that some religiosity variables could affect human well-being with interactions
