기혼남성의 성격유형, 갈등대처방법과 결혼만족도와의 관계

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the influences of husbands' personality types and coping styles on conflict on their satisfaction in marriage life. The results are as follows: First, a most important variable that influences husbands' marital satisfaction is their own coping styles on conflict such as integration and compromise. 'Demographic variables' such as 'education', 'duration of marriage', 'income' and 'personality types', 'extraversion' or 'introversion', came next in order. Second, husbands' marital satisfaction is affected with the strategies they employ in conflict situations. In particular, the strategies as 'integration' and 'compromise' proved to be effective in getting rid of conflicts in marriage life. Third, husbands' 'demographic variables' affect their marital satisfaction. Those who were educated more wealthily and better have a tendency to have fuller marital satisfaction. The longer they had been married, the less they appeared to be satisfied with their marriages. Fourth, husbands' marital satisfaction is closely related to whether they are extroversive or introversive. Extroversive husbands have more marital satisfaction.
