Abstract

This study aimed to verify the mediating effect of locus of control on the relationship between materialism and well-being of middle-aged woman. For the study, the survey of 239 middle-aged women in B, C, D city was used. As a scale, a Richins & Dawson(1992)'s widely-used materialism scale, the Levenson(1981)'s locus of scale, Watson, Clark & Tellegen(1988)'s positive and negative affect scale (PANAS) and Ryff(1989)'s psychological well-being scale(PWBS) were used. The survey data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, reliability, correlation and the mediating effect was verified by Baron & Kenny (1986)'s 3 step using SPSS 23 and sobel test. Mediating analysis indicated that the significant relationships between materialism and affective well-being and psychological well-being were reduced significantly when the external locus of control was statistically controlled. Results are meaningful with respect to overcome materialism of middle-aged woman and in the relation to other research that has explored reasons why materialism is related to lower level of affective well-being & psychological well-being.

본 연구의 목적은 물질주의와 안녕감 간의 관계에서 통제성의 매개 효과를 확인하는 것이다. 연구 대상은 B시, C시, D시의 중년기 여성 239명이었으며 척도는 Richins과 Dawson(1992)의 물질주의 척도, Levenson(1981)의 통제성 척도, 그리고 안녕감은 Watson과 Clark 및 Tellegen(1988)의 정서적 안녕감 척도(PANAS)와 Ryff(1989)의 심리적 안녕감 척도(PWBS)가 사용되었다. 자료 수집 후 기술 통계 분석, 측정도구의 신뢰도 분석, 상관관계 분석, 위계적 회귀분석, 그리고 Sobel 검사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 물질주의와 안녕감 간의 관계에서 통제성의 하위 변인인 외부통제성이 부분 매개효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과를 근거로 중년기 여성의 높은 물질주의에 따른 낮은 안녕감을 좀 더 높일 수 있는 방법으로 외부통제성을 낮추는 것을 제시하였다.
