ABSTRACT

Background & Purpose: This study investigated the difference in caring according to the presence or absence of volunteer activity and the effect of volunteer activity on caring. Methodology: For this purpose, 418 students (194 males, 224 females) in the first and second grades of middle schools located in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Chungcheong were randomly selected. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS 22.0, For differences between groups, independent sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance(ANOVA) were used. A multiple regression analysis was performed on the influence of volunteer participation and demographic characteristics on caring. Findings/Conclusions: The main results shown in the analysis were: First, the level of caring was higher in the group that participated in volunteer activities than the group that did not participate. Second, the level of caring was relatively higher in the female group than in the male group. Third, the level of caring of the group that participated in volunteer activities for a long time was higher than that of the group that did not participate. A particularly noteworthy result is that the main factor influencing the caring of other people's feelings, which is a sub-factor of caring is the amount of time spent in volunteer activities. Implications: The significance of this study is that it was confirmed that in order to improve the level of caring, it is necessary to participate in volunteer activities, but to provide guidance to participate for a longer period of time.
