초록

본 연구는 Schwartz의 가치이론에 근거한 가치형, 자연과의 연결감 및 다차원적 행복 측정치를 사용하여 대학생들(N=224)이 추구하는 가치와 자연과의 연결감이 행복의 측정치에 따라 어떤 관계 양상을 보이는지 알아보고자 하였다. 특히, 행복의 개념을 확장하여 쾌락주의적 관점에서의 행복인 삶의 만족과 긍정정서, 자기실현적 관점에서의 행복인 심리적 안녕감과 사회적 안녕감, 그리고 한국형 토착행복 등 다양한 유형의 행복을 측정하였다. 상관분석 결과, 박애형, 자기주도형, 보편주의형, 자극추구형 가치들은 행복 지표들 중의 어느 하나와는 정적 상관이 있었으며, 성취형 가치는 삶의 만족과 부적상관, 자연과의 연결감은 모든 유형의 행복 측정치와 정적 상관이 있었다. 위계적 회귀분석 결과, 인구학적 변인(성, 종교, 경제수준), 가치형, 자연과의 연결감은 행복의 유형에 따라 행복을 25%~36%정도 설명하였으며, 가치형과 자연과의 연결감이 추가되면 행복에 대한 설명력이 유의하게 증가하였다. 가치는 삶의 만족, 긍정정서, 토착형 행복, 사회적 안녕감 보다는 심리적 안녕감의 예언에 더 큰 영향력을 발휘하였으며, 박애형 가치, 자기주도형 가치, 그리고 자연과의 연결감은 일관되게 여러 유형의 행복에 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과들은 국민 행복 증진을 위한 방안으로 박애와 자기주도와 같은 건전한 가치의 확산과 일상생활에서 자연과의 연결 기회 제공 등이 중요함을 시사한다.

Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between individual values, nature-relatedness, and happiness in a sample of Korean university students(N=224). Specially, we used Schwartz's PVQ, life satisfaction, positive affect, psychological well-being, social well-being, and Korean Happiness scale to measure values and happiness. According to the bivariate correlational analysis, generally, there were positive correlation between benevolence, self-direction, universalism, stimulation and one of 5 happiness measurements and there was negative correlation between achievement and life satisfaction. Nature-relatedness were positively related with five types of happiness measurements. According to the hierarchical regression, demographic variables(sex, religion, economic levels), value types, and nature-relatedness explained 25%~36% of variance in happiness. Value was more related with psychological well-being than life satisfaction, positive affect, social well being, Korean happiness scale. This results emphasize the importance of healthy value(benevolence, self-direction) and provision of opportunities contact with nature to promote human happiness.
