Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting the subjective happiness of adolescents in Busan using data from the "12th Online Survey on Youth Health Behaviors, 2016." It intended to provide basic information for the development of intervention programs that can improve the subjective happiness of the youth. Methods : Data on 3,979 adolescents residing in Busan were drawn and statistically examined using frequency analysis, a t-test, an ANOVA, and a multiple regression analysis. SPSS 24.0 was used for all analyses. Results : Subjective happiness showed statistically significant differences depending on the factors of health equity like emotional support, gender, school level, financial state, academic performance, type of residence, and parents' educational level, and on the factors of health status, like subjective health state, depression, sleep and stress. Conclusions : The results of this study suggest that a variety of intervention programs on health status factors need to be developed, and implemented to improve the subjective happiness of adolescents in Busan.
