패널회귀분석을 이용한 아동의 행복 결정요인

초록

This study examined the determinants of children’s happiness from a longitudinal perspective and aimed to provide practical and policy implications for their development. Using Stata 18/SE, frequency and descriptive analyses were conducted, followed by diagnostic tests to select an appropriate panel regression model. A fixed-effects model and feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) estimation were then applied. The results showed that teacher–student relationships, positive parenting attitudes, weekday parent–child conversation time, and school life satisfaction significantly influence children’s happiness across both models. Average monthly household income was identified as a consistent control variable. Based on these findings, short-term interventions should focus on reducing negative parenting practices, while long-term strategies should promote positive parenting. Additionally, happiness promotion should be incorporated into the educational curriculum with teacher-level autonomy. Limitations and directions for future research were also discussed.
