| Summary: | This study identified the relationship between religiosity and the subjective well-being of middle-aged Korean women, and examined a double mediating effect model of existential consciousness and savoring beliefs on this relationship. The participants of this study were 285 middle-aged Korean women, aged between 40-60 years. The PROCESS Macro 3.5 Model 6 was used to analyze the sequential double mediating effects. The results revealed that existential consciousness and savoring beliefs were positively correlated with the subjective well-being of middle-aged women, whereas their intrinsic religiosity was not significantly correlated with subjective well-being because it was positively correlated with negative emotions, as well as with life satisfaction and positive emotions. In a sequential double mediation model for the subjective well-being of middle-aged women, the direct effect of intrinsic religiosity on savoring beliefs was negatively significant after adjusting for indirect effects through existential consciousness. The sequential indirect effect of existential consciousness and savoring beliefs on the intrinsic religiosity and subjective well-being of middle-aged women was significant. Without these indirect effects, intrinsic religiosity negatively influenced middle-aged women’s subjective well-being in this model. These results suggest that existential consciousness plays an important role in the subjective well-being of middle-aged women. |
