자기분화와 결혼만족도의 관계에서 정서조절방략의 매개효과

Abstract

This study attempted to verify the mediating effect of emotional regulation strategies in the influence of self-differentiation on marital satisfaction. For this purpose, we surveyed 480 married men and women living in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon areas using the self-differentiation scale, the marital satisfaction scale, and the emotion regulation strategies scale. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis using SPSS 21.0 program. The results of the study are as follows. Firstly, it shows that there are positive correlations among self-differentiation, emotion regulation strategies and marital satisfaction. Secondly, it shows full mediating effect of cognitive emotion regulation strategies, and confirms partial mediating effect of experimental and behavioral emotion regulation strategies in relation of self-differentiation and marital satisfaction. Through this result, counselling focus on cognitive emotion regulation strategies has a priority when we do psychological counselling involvement for enhancing marital satisfaction, and we also need education and training solution for positive emotion regulation strategies. Finally, I proposed the discussion, conclusion and follow-up study of this study.
