This study examines the roles of rejection sensitivity and gender sensitivity in the relationship between the exposure to domestic violence and date violence, in an attempt to prevent and intervene in the recent surge in date violence. To this end, an online survey was conducted on 400 college students at nine universities located in Seoul, Daejeon, Gyeongbuk, Daegu, and Ulsan; 390 data were used for the final analysis. The SPSS Statistics 22.0 and PROCESS macro v3.4 were utilized for analysis. First, the results showed that rejection sensitivity significantly mediated the relationship between the exposure to domestic violence and date violence. The more exposed to domestic violence, the higher the rejection sensitivity and the higher the date violence. Also, it was found that the moderating effect of gender sensitivity was significant in the relationship between the exposure to domestic violence and date violence. The more domestic violence exposure experiences, the higher the date violence, but the higher the gender sensitivity, the weaker the positive effect of the exposure to domestic violence on date violence. These findings that identified the factors affecting date violence can serve as basic data to prevent date violence, while suggesting effective interventions through rejection sensitivity and gender sensitivity.
This study explored the differences of psychological distress, non-dailiness, health behavior, and the influences of non-dailiness, health behavior on negative-affect, anxiety, burnout, somatization among gender and age groups during COVID-19. Online survey was conducted among 1,434 participants between February 19, 2021 and March 3. According to multiple-regression analysis, for women in 20/30s ‘parenting-difficulties’ predicted negative-affect, burnout, ‘social media-induced sleep problems' predicted negative-affect, anxiety, somatization, ‘the need for mental health care' predicted negative-affect, burnout, somatization. For men in 20/30s, ‘reluctance to use public transportation' predicted burnout, ‘activity-constraints' predicted negative-affect, ‘alcohol-assumption' predicted burnout, somatization, ‘social media-induced sleep problems' predicted anxiety, burnout, somatization, ‘preventive behaviors' predicted negative-affect, and ‘the need for mental health care' predicted negative-affect, somatization. For women over 40s, ‘reluctance to use public transportation' predicted negative-affect, ‘activity-constraints' predicted negative-affect, anxiety, ‘income-decreasing' predicted negative-affect, burnout, somatization, ‘social media-induced sleep problems' predicted negative-affect, anxiety, burnout, somatization, and ‘the need for mental health care' predicted negative-affect, anxiety, burnout, somatization. For men over 40s. ‘reluctance to use public transportation' predicted negative-affect, burnout, ‘parenting-difficulties’ predicted burnout, ‘social media-induced sleep problems' predicted negative-affect, anxiety, burnout, somatization, 'alcohol-assumption' predicted anxiety, burnout, somatization, and ‘the need for mental health care' predicted burnout, somatization. Implications and recommendations are presented.
The aim of this study is to examine the mechanism through the gratitude disposition leads to life satisfaction. To this purpose, this study was to investigate the effect of gratitude disposition on life satisfaction. And it also was to verify whether there are the mediating effect of social support and the moderated mediating effect of self-esteem. In this regard, the theoretical background and previous studies on gratitude disposition, social support, self-esteem, and life satisfaction were reviewed, and research model and hypotheses were derived based on these reviews. In this study, hypotheses were verified using SPSS process macro with 388 sample data collected by a survey of men and women in their 20s or older working at beauty shops located in the Seoul metropolitan area. As a result of the study, first, it was found that gratitude disposition had a positive effect on life satisfaction. Second, it was found that social support mediated the positive relationship between gratitude disposition and life satisfaction. Third, it was found that self-esteem moderated the effect of social support on life satisfaction. In other words, when self-esteem was higher than when self-esteem was low, the positive relationship between social support and life satisfaction was stronger. Finally, self-esteem moderated the mediating relationship between gratitude disposition and life satisfaction via social support, and those with higher self-esteem were found to be larger than those with lower self-esteem. This study showed that gratitude disposition of beauty shop workers can have a positive effect on life satisfaction through the mediating effect of social support, and in this process, by integrating and verifying the mediating effect of social support and the moderated mediating effect of self-esteem, the comprehensive mechanism about the effect of gratitude disposition on life satisfaction can be further understood.
