The present study examined the relationship between social capital, local festival participation, and subjective well-being. Moreover, this study examined whether the effect of social capital on subjective well-being can be mediated by festival participation. In addition, it examined the decomposition effect of festival participation and control of models for demographic characteristics. Data used are from the International Comparative Survey on Lifestyle and Values (ICSLV) SWB South Korea Survey. The total number of respondents for the analysis is 1694. The findings indicate that trustful relationships with family and relatives, friends, and neighbors are considerably related to subjective well-being than structural social capital. Moreover, the trust of informal social ties shows considerable potential in facilitating individuals' local festival participation, which is associated with subjective well-being. Individuals who often participate in traditional local festivals in their communities show higher subjective well-being than those who never attend any festivals. Local festivals in communities can play an important role in strengthening links with individuals in these communities and affect community residents' well-being. Lastly, the findings can suggest beneficial theoretical and practical implications, and enrich the previous literature on social capital and festival participation.
本研究考察了社会资本、地方节日参与度与主观幸福感之间的关系。此外，本研究还探讨了社会资本对主观幸福感的影响是否可以通过节日参与度来间接体现。此外，还对节日参与度的分解效应和对人口特征模型的控制进行了检验。本研究使用的数据来自生活方式和价值观国际比较调查（ICSLV）韩国主观幸福感调查。分析的总受访者人数为 1694 人。研究结果表明，与家人和亲戚、朋友和邻居之间的信任关系与主观幸福感的关系比结构型社会资本更为密切。此外，非正式社会关系的信任在促进个人参与地方节日方面具有相当大的潜力，而地方节日参与度与主观幸福感有关。经常参加社区传统节日的个人比从不参加任何节日的个人具有更高的主观幸福感。社区中的地方节日可以在加强与社区内个人的联系方面发挥重要作用，并影响社区居民的幸福感。最后，研究结果可以为理论和实践提供有益的启示，并丰富社会资本和节日参与度的相关文献。
