Abstract

We aimed to discover young adults’ perceived intergenerational and digital solidarity patterns with grandparents and their life satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea. Data collection was conducted from April to June 2022 in the Seoul-Incheon-Gyeonggi metropolitan area. The sample was 261 young adults who reported solidarity with their living grandmothers and 161 young adults who reported solidarity with their living grandfathers. The latent profile analysis indicated three profiles for grandmother–young adult and grandfather–young adult groups: tight-knit and digitally connected, detached, and sociable. Results showed that the sociable profile was predominant, suggesting emotionally connected relationships but lower instrumental support between Korean young adults and their grandparents. In addition, young adults in the tight-knit and digitally connected profile reported higher life satisfaction compared to detached and sociable profiles. The study highlights the significance of strong intergenerational connections in enhancing young adults’ well-being during challenging times such as COVID-19.

韩国年轻成年人与祖父母的代际团结和数字团结感:在 COVID-19 大流行期间生活满意度的相关性
我们的目的是在韩国 COVID-19 大流行期间,了解年轻人与祖父母的代际团结和数字团结模式,以及他们的生活满意度。数据收集工作于 2022 年 4 月至 6 月在首尔-仁川-京畿首都圈进行。样本包括 261 名表示与在世祖母团结一致的年轻人和 161 名表示与在世祖父团结一致的年轻人。潜特征分析表明,祖母-青年和祖父-青年群体有三种特征:紧密联系和数字连接、疏离和善于交际。结果显示,交际型特征占主导地位,表明韩国年轻人与祖父母之间存在情感联系,但工具性支持较少。此外,与疏离型和交际型相比,紧密联系型和数字连接型的年轻人对生活的满意度更高。这项研究强调了在 COVID-19 等充满挑战的时期,强大的代际联系对于提高年轻人幸福感的重要意义。
