Abstract

This study was intended to identify path structures through pathway analysis with an emphasis on the cognitive elements that influence the acculturative stress of marriage-based immigrant women. The results of the study were designed to establish a foundation for practical measures and policies to support marriage-based immigrant women to adjust their lives in the culture. This study has established research model on the path structure according to the psychological stress theory as to how social support, coping strategy, and acculturative attitude recognized as a cognitive element of marriage-based immigrant women on the acculturative stress and implement practical verification. In addition, control variables for the use of ages, education level, period of marriage, and income level of socio-demographic variables were analyzed. To obtain data for the study, convenience sampling and snowball sampling of marriage-based immigrant women that resided in the area of C and J were conducted simultaneously through surveys and applied to the analysis of 204 cases. Analysis of the path structure of influence of social support, coping strategies, and acculturative attitudes that were perceived as a cognitive element of marriage-based immigrant women influencing acculturative stress revealed that these factors were specifically weighted towards acculturative. Moreover, comprehensive acculturative attitude was identified as a crucial variable reducing the effects of acculturative stress during the acculturative procedures of marriage-based immigrant women. This assumes that establishing and performing policies supporting co-existence of homeland cultures of marriage-based immigrant women and Korean cultures might be an efficient action for dealing with acculturative stress rather than forcing them to adjust to Korean culture.

본 연구는 결혼이주여성의 문화적응스트레스에 영향을 미치는 인지적 요소를 중심으로 경로분석을 하여 경로구조를 밝히고자 하였으며, 연구결과는 결혼이주여성의 문화적응을 돕기 위한 정책과 실천적 방안의 기초를 마련하고자 하였다. 이 연구는 결혼이주여성의 지각된 사회적지지, 대처전략, 문화적응태도가 문화적응스트레스에 영향을 미치는 경로구조를 심리 스트레스이론을 기반으로 연구모형을 설정하여 실증적 검증을 하였다. 그리고 통제변수로서 인구사회학적 변인으로 연령, 교육수준, 결혼기간, 소득수준을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구를 위한 자료는 C지역과 J지역에 거주하는 결혼이주여성을 대상으로 편의표집과 눈덩이표집을 병행하여 설문조사하여 수집하였으며, 204명을 분석에 적용하였다. 연구결과, 결혼이주여성의 문화적응스트레스에 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀진 이주여성의 인지적 요인으로 지각된 사회적 지지와 대처전략, 문화적응태도들의 영향 경로구조를 분석한 결과 문화적응태도가 매우 중요한 요인임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 결혼이주여성의 문화적응 과정에서 통합적인 문화적응태도가 문화적응스트레스를 감소시키는데 중요한 영향 요인임을 밝혔으며, 결혼이 주여성이 우리사회에 동화되길 강요하는 것 보다 결혼이주여성의 모국 문화와 우리 문화의 정체성을 공존할 수 있는 정책과 실천이 문화적응스트레스에 효과적으로 대처하는 방안이라 볼 수 있음을 시사한다.
