“…Table 5 presents the results, which indicated that the model was statistically significant The variable with the strongest influence on meaning in life was resilience(β=.46, p<.001), followed by social support (β=.25, p<.001) and health status (β=.13, p=.041). These results support previous studies reporting that resilience significantly predicted the sense of a meaningful life 29 , and social support and meaning in life were positively correlated 4,30 .…”

“…The meaning in life was higher in the upper or middle economic groups, and they had better health. This supports previous research that found that religion promoted meaning in life and helped individuals lead healthier lives 28 , and studies that found that economic status and health were positively correlated with meaning in life 4 . As familial and financial responsibilities tend to be stressful during midlife, meaning in life might decrease during this period.…”

“…행복의 영향요인에는 불안, 우울과 같은 부정적인 정서가 포함 되는데 [4], 중년기는 신체•정신적 건강의 쇠퇴, 노후 및 은퇴에 대 한 불안 및 다양한 사회적 변화에 적응해야 하는 부담감과 가정 이나 사회에서 생산적인 역할을 담당해야 하는 발달 단계의 과업 을 성취하느라 가정적으로나 사회적으로 다양한 위기를 경험하게 된다 [8]. 이러한 경험은 노화 과정에 적응해 나가는 정상적인 발 달 단계 중 하나이지만, 정신•심리적 문제를 야기하고 노년기의 행복한 삶에 영향을 미친다 [2]. 노화에 대한 개인의 태도 및 경험 은 각기 다른 양상을 보이며, 노화에 대한 부정적 인식은 노화불 안을 증가시킬 수 있다 [9].…”

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the relationship of health status, aging anxiety, social networking, generativity, and happiness and to investigate the main factors influencing happiness of late middle-aged adults.Methods: The study collected data from a total of 153 middle-aged men and women aged 50 to 64 years old from a consumer panel of Macromill-Embrain, the biggest online survey provider in Korea. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and a stepwise multiple regression using the SPSS 22.0 program.Results: The subjects’ happiness mean score was 16.17±9.29. Statistically significant differences in happiness were found according to education (F=4.38, p=.014), economic status (t=5.13, p<.001), and religion (t=2.18, p=.031). Happiness was correlated significantly with health status (r=.41, p<.001), aging anxiety (r=-.62, p<.001), family support (r=.43, p<.001), friend support (r=.36, p<.001) and generativity (r=.63, p<.001). The factors influencing happiness of late middle-aged adults were generativity (β=.37, p<.001), aging anxiety (β=-.35, p<.001), family support (β=.20, p<.001), and economic status (β=.13, p=.033). The explanatory power of the model was 58.0%.Conclusion: This study will be used as basic data when developing a nursing intervention program for successful aging by identifying factors that affect the happiness of late middle-aged adults.

Background/Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify the factors influencing the subjective wellbeing of the middle-aged class and to identify the relative influence of the variables. Method/Statistical Analysis:The subjects of this study consisted of a middle-aged class group, aged 40 to 64, among the panels of an online research company, and data was collected from a total of 196 subjects. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, post-test Scheffé test, Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression using SPSS 22.0. Findings:The average score of the subjective well-being of the middle-aged class was 3.34. The difference in subjective well-being according to general characteristics was found to be significant according to education (F=4.89, p=.009) and economic status (F = 9.76, p<.001).Subject's subjective well-being was positively correlated with health status (r=.56, p<.001), meaning in life (r=.66, p<.001), generativity (r=.76, p<.001), self-efficacy (r=.62, p<.001), and social support (r=.57, p<.001). As a result of stepwise regression analysis, generativity (β=.424, p<.001), health status (β=-.209, p<.001), social support (β=.190, p=.001), and self-efficacy (β=.150, p=.014) were factors affecting subjective well-being, and the explanatory power of these 4 variables was 62.6%. The most influential variable was generativity.Improvements/Applications: This study considered variables in various fields to provide nursing intervention to promote subjective well-being of the middle-aged class, and as a result, it will contribute to promoting a qualitative life by improving the health potential of the middle-aged class.
