어떤 가족의례가 살아남는가?: 결혼과 임신·출산의례의 젠더 및 세대 비교

Abstract

This study examines which traditional family rituals have survived among marriage, pregnancy, and childbirth rituals, focusing on gender and generational differences. In total, 1,319 adult participants were recruited for the survey, and this group comprised adults from the baby boomer generation (BB: born between 1955 and 1963), Generation X (born between 1964 and 1980), Generation M (born between 1981 and 1996), and Generation Z (born between 1997 and 2003). Cross-tabulation analyses were utilized for the comparison according to gender and generation, and STATA 17.0 was used. The results demonstrated that both men and women agreed with having marriage rituals such as going on a honeymoon, taking wedding photos, and making and sending out wedding invitations. Regarding pregnancy and childbirth rituals, both men and women agreed with having prenatal education, eating seaweed soup after birth, and having a first-year birthday party. Regarding the generation analyses, generations X and M tended to disagree with marriage rituals, while generations BB and Z tended to agree with them. In this study, we discussed the necessity of family rituals according to gender and generation based on the family rituals that have survived.
