중년 여성 158명을 대상으로 후회 영역, 후회 정서, 후회에 대한 대응 전략과 주관적 안녕감과의 관계를 살펴보았다. 중년 여성이 가장 빈번하게 후회하는 삶의 영역은 ‘결혼 및 배우자 선택’, ‘교육 부족’, ‘자기개발’과 관련된 것으로 나타났으며, 후회 관련 정서를 많이 느낄수록 주관적 안녕감이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 후회 대응 전략과 관련해서는 후회 반추를 많이 사용할수록 후회 관련 정서를 많이 느끼고 주관적 안녕감이 낮은 반면, 대안적 목표 추구 전략을 많이 사용할수록 주관적 안녕감이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 후회한 것에 대한 지각된 수정가능성이 후회 정서와 주관적 안녕감에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, 수정가능성이 적다고 지각할수록 후회 관련 정서를 많이 느끼고 주관적 안녕감이 더 낮은 것으로 나타나 잃어버린 기회 이론을 지지하는 것으로 나타났다. 경로분석 결과 지각된 수정가능성과 후회 대응 전략 중 후회 반추는 직접적으로 주관적 안녕감에 영향을 미치기도 하고 후회 관련 정서를 매개로 간접적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 후회 대응 전략 중 대안적 목표 추구는 주관적 안녕감에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
This study investigated the relationships among perceived opportunity, coping strategies, regret-related emotions, and subjective well-being in 158 middle-aged women living in Busan, South Korea. Middle-aged women regret most frequently the areas of marriage, education, and self-development. The more regret-related emotions they felt, the less subjective well-being they had. Rumination as a coping strategy for regret was related to higher regret-related emotion and lower subjective well-being, while the use of engagement of new goals as a coping strategy was related to higher subjective well-being. The lower the perceived opportunity of modification experiences involving regret, the higher the regret-related emotions and the lower the happiness. Out of the two contrasting principles regarding regret-future opportunity principle and lost opportunity principle-this supported the lost opportunity principle. Finally, the path analysis result showed that perceived opportunity and rumination had effects on subjective well-being both directly and indirectly. Engagement of a new goal had a direct effect on subjective well-being.
