Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the relationships among college students' life stress, self-efficacy, locus of control, and subjective well-being. A total of 279 college students participated in this study. It was administered a questionnaire consisting of questioned of concerning life stress, self-efficacy, locus of control, and subjective well-being. The correlation analysis and the analysis of mediating effect were conducted on the data. The main results of data analysis showed (1) correlations among life stress, self-efficacy, locus of control, and subjective well-being, (2) significant mediating effect of self-efficacy between life stress and subjective well-being. The direction of a further study was suggested.

본 연구에서는 대학생의 생활스트레스, 자기효능감, 내외통제 및 주관안녕 간의 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 279명의 대학생들에게 생활스트레스, 자기효능감, 내외통제 및 주관안녕 질문지를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료를 토대로 상관분석을 한 결과, 생활스트레스, 자기효능감, 내외통제 및 주관안녕 간에 모두 상관이 유의하였다. 또한 생활스트레스와 주관안녕의 관계에서 자기효능감과 내외통제의 매개효과를 분석한 결과, 자기효능감의 매개효과는 유의하였으나 내외통제의 매개효과는 유의하지 않았다. 이러한 결과로부터 대학생의 생활스트레스가 주관안녕에 영향을 미침에 있어서 자기효능감의 잇점이 부각되었고, 생활스트레스의 부정적 영향을 낮추고 주관안녕을 높이기 위해 자기효능감을 증진시키는 방안 제고의 필요성이 논의되었다.
