Abstract

본 연구는 중년기 부부관계만족도와 우울감, 자녀와의 관계만족도의 종단적 변화 궤적을 파악하고, 부부관계만족도 변화에 영향을 미치는 요인들의 남녀 차이를 살펴보는 데에 목적이 있다. 한국복지패널 자료를 활용하여 잠재성장모형과 다중집단분석을 통해 분석한 결과, 중년기 부부관계만족도와 우울감, 자녀와의 관계만족도는 시간의 흐름에 따라 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 우울감의 상승은 부부관계만족도 감소에 영향을 미치며, 자녀와의 관계만족도의 증가는 부부관계만족도 증가에 미치는 영향력이 유의하였다. 남녀 차이에 있어서 중년기 우울감의 변화가 부부관계만족도의 변화에 미치는 영향은 여성의 경우만 유의한 것으로 나타났으며, 자녀와의 관계만족도 변화가 부부관계만족도 변화에 미치는 영향력은 남성과 여성 모두 유의하게 나타났으나 남성이 여성보다 더 큰 영향력을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 중년기 부부관계 강화를 위하여 다양한 접근이 필요함을 시사한다.Objectives: This study aimed to identify the longitudinal trajectory in middle-aged marital relationship satisfaction and depression, and relationship satisfaction with children; and to research the differences between men and women in factors affecting changes in marital relationship satisfaction. Methods: Analysis was performed applying multivariate latent growth modeling and multiple group analysis from the Korean Welfare Panel was performed. Results: This study found that middle-aged marital satisfaction, depression, and relationship satisfaction with children decreased over time. Moreover, changes in depression had a negative effect on changes in marital satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction with children had a significant influence on changes in marital satisfaction. For the gender gap, the effect of changes in the depression on changes in marital satisfaction was only found for women, while the influence of the rate of change in relationship satisfaction with children on the rate of change in marital satisfaction was related to both men and women, although the effect size of the rate of change was greater for men than for women. Conclusions: The results of this study confirm that various approaches are required to strengthen middle-aged marital relationships.
