베이비부머의 여행체험활동 참여가 자긍심과 행복감에 미치는 영향

Abstract

본 연구는 한국의 베이비부머가 여행체험활동을 통하여 퇴직 후 갖게 되는 심리적 갈등, 상실감, 박탈감, 소외감으로 부터 벗어날 수 있을 것인가? 라는 것을 연구를 하였다. |This study is to research whether Korean baby boomers are able to participate in travel experiences after retirement and live with self-esteem and a sense of well-being in their later lives. The questionnaire consisted of questions about demographic characteristics, self-esteem, psychological well-being, and participation in travel experience activities. As an empirical analysis method, frequency analysis was performed to find out the characteristics of the baby boomer, the subject of the study. Correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between travel experience activities, self-esteem, and happiness. Regression was performed to examine the causal relationship between travel experience activities, self-esteem, and well-being, and all empirical analyzes were verified with significance level. Statistical processing was analyzed using SPSS WIN 25.0 program. As a result of the empirical analysis, it can be understood that the self-esteem increases when the degree of travel experience is high, and in the case of hypothesis 1, "The travel experience of the baby boomers generation will have a positive effect on the life self-esteem of old age", it is interpreted that the hypothesis was adopted. It can be said that the higher the degree of travel experience, the higher the well-being. Hypothesis 2 is "The travel experience of the baby boomers generation will have a positive effect on the life and happiness of old age". It can be said that the hypothesis was adopted. In order to test the hypothesis about the mediating effect, three conditions must be met. If the conditions presented in < Table 4-8 > are met, the influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable is determined by the regression equation. If the influence is no longer statistically significant, it can be seen that the tentative parameter strongly mediates the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable. However, although statistical significance is a necessary condition for testing mediating hypotheses, it cannot be regarded as a sufficient condition. When examining the causal relationship between travel experience, self-esteem, and well-being in the hypothesis test by the structural equation, it was found that the effect of the travel experience activity on self-esteem was significantly positive (+), and the effect of self-esteem on the well-being. The influence was found to have a significant positive (+) effect, with the travel experience having a significant positive (+) effect on the well-being. Hypothesis 3 is that "The baby boomer generation’s travel experience will have a mediating effect on self-esteem in the effect on well-being.”In the effect of baby boomer generation's travel experience on well-being, the mediating effect of self-esteem was verified. If the direct effect between the independent variable and the dependent variable is also significant, it is considered as a complete mediation. If both the direct effect and the indirect effect are significant at the same time, it is considered as a partial mediation (Kim Gye-soo, 2011). As a result of testing the hypothesis, both the indirect effect and the direct effect were found to be significant variables (p<.05). It can be seen that Hypothesis 3 “Pride will have a mediating effect on the effect of the baby boomer generation’s travel experience on happiness.” As a result of hypothesis testing, Hypothesis 1, Hypothesis 2, and Hypothesis 3 were all adopted. Baby boomers' participation in travel experience activities is a positive activity that enables them to use their free time after retirement to have a richer life in old age and to live the rest of their lives with self-esteem and well-being. It was proved through the test of hypothesis that participation in travel experience activities for baby boomers can lead their second life after retirement with self-esteem and well-being.
