본 연구는 초고령 사회로의 진입이 예고된 가운데 다양한 심리적, 경제적인 난제로 위협을 받고 있는 융복합시대 중년기 성인들이, 어떻게 내적 또는 외적통제성을 발휘하여 생활만족도라는 현실의 인지정서적 균형과 노후준비라는 발달과업을 수행하고 있는가를 파악하고자 하였다. 이에 중년기 성인의 내외통제성을 독립변인으로, 생활만족도 및 노후준비를 종속변인으로 설정하여 검증하였고, 최종적으로 284부의 설문이 결과분석에 사용되었다. 연구결과, 중년기의 내통제성이 생활만족을 높이고, 실제적인 노후준비에도 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 생활만족과 노후준비 간에도 서로 상관관계를 나타냈다. 이에, 내통제성과 같은 인간의 심리적 내적자원이 개인의 현실적 삶의 만족과 노후준비와 같은 발달과업에 긍정적인 영향요인임을 확인하였다.
