Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out the mediating effects of positive communication on the relationship between level of forgiveness and marital satisfaction of married men and women. For this purpose, a total of 300 married men and women were surveyed using the Rye forgiveness level, positive communication scale, and marital satisfaction scale. The collected data were analyzed through structural equation modeling. First, there was a correlation between the level of forgiveness of married men and women, positive communication, positive communication, marital satisfaction, forgiveness and marital satisfaction. Second, forgiveness of married men and women affects marital satisfaction through fully mediating effect of positive communication. This suggests that the higher the level of forgiveness of married men and women, the higher the positive communication and the higher the marital satisfaction. Based on these results, the implications and limitations of this study and suggestions for future research were suggested.

본 연구는 기혼남녀의 용서수준과 결혼만족의 관계에서 긍정적 의사소통이 어떠한 요인으로 작용하는지를 규명하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위하여 기혼남녀의 용서가 긍정적 의사소통을 매개로 결혼만족에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석을 위해 총 300명의 기혼남녀들에게 Rye 용서수준 척도, 긍정적 의사소통 척도, 결혼만족도 척도로 구성된 설문지를 실시하였고, 이를 통해 수집된 자료에 대하여 구조방정식 모형을 통한 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 기혼남녀의 용서수준과 긍정적 의사소통, 긍정적 의사소통과 결혼만족도, 용서수준과 결혼만족도간에 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 기혼남녀의 용서는 긍정적 의사소통을 완전매개로 결혼만족에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 기혼남녀의 용서수준이 높아지면 긍정적 의사소통이 증가하고, 이를 매개로 결혼만족도가 높아질 수 있음을 시사한다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구의 시사점과 제한점 및 추후 연구를 위한 제언을 하였다.
