Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of burden of support for unmarried adult children on the depression of married women and the mediating effect of couple conflict in the process. To this end, 1,076 married women with baby boomer husbands and unmarried adult children were extracted based on the data from the 7th year of the Women and Family Panel (KLoWF) and analyzed by using a structural equation. Looking at the results of the analysis, first, the burden of supporting unmarried adult children had a positive(+) effect on the depression of married women, and also had a positive(+) effect on couple conflict. Second, it was found that couple conflict had a positive(+) effect on the depression of married women. Third, couple conflict was found to play a role as a partial mediator between the burden of supporting unmarried adult children and the feeling of depression. Based on the above findings, the study suggested the various programs to resolve couple conflicts and decrease the depression of married women.

본 연구의 목적은 미혼 성인자녀 부양부담감이 기혼 여성의 우울감에 미치는 영향과 그 과정에서 부부갈등의 매개효과를 검증하는데 있다. 이를 위해 여성가족패널(KLoWF) 7차년도 자료를 토대로 베이비부머 남편과 미혼 성인자녀 둔 기혼여성 1,076명을 추출해 구조방정식을 활용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과를 살펴보면 첫째, 미혼 성인자녀 부양부담감은 기혼여성의 우울감에 정(+)적인 영향을 미치고, 부부갈등에도 정(+)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 부부갈등은 기혼여성의 우울감에 정(+)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 부부갈등은 미혼 성인자녀 부양부담감과 우울감 사이에 부분매개 역할을 하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이와 같은 연구결과를 근거로 기혼여성의 우울감을 낮추고 부부갈등을 해소시키기 위한 다양한 프로그램들을 제시하였다.
