본 연구는 문화예술학습활동의 참여도가 개인의 삶의 만족도와 심리적 안녕감에 미치는 영향과 함께 자기효능감과 개방성의 조절효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 울산광역시 지역축제 참가자와 문화원문화교실 수강생 240명에게 설문자료를 배포하여 이 중 유효한 설문지 227부(94.6%)를 활용하였다. 연구문제로는 첫째, 문화예술학습활동을 관람활동과 체험활동으로 분류하여 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향을 분 석하였으며, 둘째, 문화예술학습활동이 심리적 안녕감에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 마지막으로 이들의 관계에서 자기효능감과 개방성의 조절효과에 대해서 분석하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 문화예술학습활동 참여도는 개인의 삶의 만족도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 문화예술학습활동의 참여도는 개인의 심리적 안녕감에도 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난다. 셋째, 자기효능감과 개방성의 조절효과에 대한 분석결과를 살펴보면, 자기효능감은 문화예술학습활동과 삶의 만족도 및 심리적 안녕감 간의 관계에서 모두 조절효과가 발견되었으며, 개방성에 대한 조절효과는 문화예술학습활동과 심리적 안녕감 간의 관계에서만 발견되었다.
This study examines how the participation in cultural and artistic activities impacts on an individual’s life satisfaction and psychological wellbeing. And these impacts of participation are verified based on the moderating effect of self-efficacy and openness. For this, the questionnaires were distributed to 240 people who were either the participants of the Ulsan Whale Festival or the students of the Cultural Center. And among them, 227 questionnaires (94.6%) were used for the study. The first purpose of the study is to identify how both indirect and direct participation in cultural and artistic activities correlate with the degree of the individual’s life satisfaction. The second purpose was on the correlation between the participation in cultural and artistic activities and the individual’s sense of psychological wellbeing. And lastly, the study was to know how the self-efficacy and openness moderate in these two kinds of correlation. The results of the analyses are as follows. Firstly, it shows that the participation in cultural and artistic activities has a significant positive influence on the life satisfaction. And, it is also measured to have a positive influence on individual’s sense of psychological wellbeing. In the case of the moderating effect of self-efficacy, self-efficacy driven by cultural and artistic activities is significantly positively related to both the degree of life satisfaction and the sense of psychological wellbeing. And, in the case of the moderating effect of openness, openness in regards of the psychological wellbeing shows much more significance with activities through exhibitions, movies, musical instruments, dancing and so on. However, at the same time, openness in regards of the life satisfaction is not meaningfully related to both indirect and direct participation of activities. Based on the results, the study shows that both indirect and direct experiences of cultural and artistic activities, the degree of life satisfaction, the sense of psychological wellbeing, self-efficacy, and openness are all very useful variables to promote the level of participation in cultural and artistic activities.
