본 연구는 다문화가정 부부 108쌍을 대상으로 여성결혼이민자의 삶의 만족과 관련 변인간의 상관관계와 삶의 만족에 영향을 미치는 변인을 파악하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 2011년 5월부터 8월까지 4개월에 걸쳐 진행되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 여성결혼이민자의 삶의 만족 및 희망은 남편의 희망 및 삶의 만족과 정적 상관관계를 보였고, 부부갈등과는 부적 상관관계를 보였으나 남편의 부부갈등은 유의미한 상관이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 여성결혼이민자의 삶의 만족에 영향을 미치는 변인은 여성결혼이민자의 주도사고와 남편의 삶의 만족으로 나타났으며, 그 중에서 희망의 주도사고가 가장 영향력 있는 변인이었다. 본 연구는 다문화가정 부부의 자료를 활용하여 여성결혼이민자의 삶의 만족과 희망, 그리고 부부갈등에 대해 처음으로 관심을 가졌으며 이러한 결과는 다문화가정의 안정을 위한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있다는데 큰 의미를 두고자 한다.
