베트남여성결혼이민자 가족의 문화적응과정에서 나타나는 갈등 연구

Conflict Process According to the Acculturation of the Vietnamese Migrated Women's Family in Korea

본 연구는 베트남여성결혼이민자 가족의 문화적응과정에서 드러나는 문화차이에 대한 이해, 가족갈등의 유형과 변화과정 등에 대해 살펴보기 위하여, 여성결혼이민자, 남편, 시모 3명 모두가 인터뷰 가능한 가족 10사례에 대해 반구조화된 심층면접을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 상이한 의사소통방식, 가부장적 가족문화에 대한 이해 차이, 일상생활방식의 차이로 인해 갈등이 촉발되고 있었고 촉발된 갈등은 각자 자신의 입장에서 타인의 부족한 점에 대한 분노와 좌절이 반복되는 가운데 증폭되었지만, 가족의 소중함과 타인에 대한 존중과 배려를 기반으로 스스로에 대해 그리고 다른 가족구성원과의 관계에 대해 갈등을 관리하는 방법을 발굴 적용해 오고 있음을 알 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to understand how Vietnamese migrated women's family members understand cultural differences and to review the causes and types of family conflict during the acculturation. To do this, the researcher interviewed 10 cases which consist of three family members in a case: a Vietnamese migrated woman, her husband and mother in law. Research results are as follows. First, they are three main factors such as different ways to communicate, patriarchic ways of thinking and different ways of daily life which have caused family conflict. The conflict caused has been reinforced by anger and frustration against other family members. However, based on understanding on the preciousness of family and importance of inter-respect, it is still on going to find out the moderate way to manage family conflict among their family members. This study has practical and methodological significances. At policy and practice level, this research stresses on the significance of focusing on the family as a unit to be approached for policy and practice intervention. As the methodological aspect, the research tried to search the relationship among family members in the Vietnamese migrated women's family by including not only a migrated woman but also her husband and mother in law. However, there is a limit as it only focuses on cases which family members could manage the family conflict.
