As the number of people living alone increases, several cultures relevant to
single life, such as ‘Honbap(having meal alone)’ or ‘Honsool(drinking alcohol
alone)’ are also rising rapidly. To keep up with those social changes, further
studies about single-person household are required. This study, reflecting those
sociocultural changes, aims to make clear the relationship between leisure
commitment and psychological well-being of single-person household. To
investigate the psychological well-being of single-person household more actually,
it would be efficient to study the culture-leading group of our society. So, the
range of this study includes the young adults and middle-aged people, and does
not include the single-person households of underprivileged people. For this
study, 292 questionnaires were disseminated to single-person households in Seoul
and Kyongki-do, from September to October, 2014. Except some invalid data,
227 Questionnaires(male 124, female 153) were used for analyzing the data. In
this study, frequency analysis and multiple regression were used by SPSS win
18.0 program. The results were as followings; First, it was verified that leisure
commitment has positive correlation with psychological well-being. Second,
cognitive commitment, the subfactor of leisure flow, influenced psychological
well-being significantly; self-acceptance, autonomy, personal relationship, and the
goal of life. But, it turned out that cognitive commitment did not affect
behavioral flow, which is another subfactor of leisure commitment. Third, though
behavioral commitment did not influence psychological well-being, it affected
personal growth positively. From the results, it could be proposed that leisure
commitment of single-person household influenced the improvement of
psychological well-being significantly.
