초등학교 고학년 학생들의 외모에 대한 사회문화적 태도와 신념이 주관적 안녕감에 미치는 영향

초록

This study was to investigate causal relationships between beliefs about appearance, sociocultural attitudes towards appearance, and subjective well-being of upper elementary school students. The participants were 443 (i.e., 230 males, 213 females) students in Seoul metropolitan cities, Korea. Their average age was 11.4 years. It was found that female students had stronger sociocultural attitudes towards appearance and beliefs about appearance than male students. The structural equation model for the participants supported that sociocultural attitudes towards appearance had negative direct and indirect effects on subjective well-being. Also, students' beliefs about intelligence had a negative direct effect on subjective well-being. Results are discussed in terms of their implications in school settings.
