Abstract

|
Objectives: This study examined factors affecting the life satisfaction of students in transition from childhood to adolescence.
Methods: Using the data from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey of NYPI, the researchers analyzed the data of 2,216 students who were in their first year of middle school and had experienced a decrease in life satisfaction following a significant change in environments. Hierarchical Multiple Regression was used to examine the comparative influence of socio-demographic factors, ego-resilience, school-adjustment, a sense of community, and types of parenting on the life satisfaction of adolescents.
Results: Data analysis identified that the life satisfaction of adolescents is affected by gender, health, religion, ego-resilience, school-adjustment, a sense of community, and types of parenting. After controlling for the influences of other factors, the researchers determined that types of parenting had a significant effect on life satisfaction.
Conclusions: Using the results as a guide, the authors offered practical suggestions for enhancing adolescents’ life satisfaction.
