ABSTRACT

The present study examined whether health behaviors mediate the relationship between eating habits and college life satisfaction and whether housing type moderates the a-path (eating habits → health behaviors), the b-path (health behaviors → college life satisfaction), and the overall indirect effect. A convenience sample of 300 college students in Gwangju was analyzed using PROCESS Models 4 and 59 with 5,000 bootstrap resamples, controlling for gender, age, academic year, and BMI. Eating habits and college life satisfaction significantly differed by housing type, with dormitory residents reporting more regular eating patterns and higher levels of satisfaction. Health behaviors partially mediated the association between eating habits and college life satisfaction (indirect effect = 0.25, 95% CI [0.17, 0.34]). Furthermore, moderated mediation was supported, as the index of moderated mediation for dormitory residence (vs. commuting) was statistically significant (index = 0.180, 95% CI [0.067, 0.307]). These findings suggest that housing context plays a critical role in strengthening the indirect pathway linking eating habits to college life satisfaction through health behaviors.
