초록

본 연구는 부모의 이혼 여부와 부부갈등에 따른 대학생들의 심리적 적응에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 이에 대학생들의 심리적 적응은 정신건강, 커플관계탄력성, 부모자녀관계와 자아분화를 통하여 비교하였고, 부모의 이혼과 부부갈등에 따른 차이를 알아보기 위하여, 이혼을 하지 않은 부모들은 고갈등부모와 저갈등부모 자녀집단으로 나누어 이혼부모 자녀집단과의 차이를 비교하였다. 이를 위해 전국 7개 지역에 위치한 4년제 14개 대학교에 재학 중인 대학생 1753명을 대상으로 자료를 분석하였다. 통계 방법은 빈도분석과 t-검증, 상관분석, ANOVA를 실시하였다. 분석결과, 첫째 부모의 이혼여부에 따른 대학생들의 심리적 적응을 살펴보면, 대학생들이 지각한 부모의 부부갈등은 부모가 이혼한 집단의 대학생들에게서 더 높게 나타났고, 부모자녀관계와 자아분화는 이혼하지 않은 부모의 대학생들에게서 더 높게 나타났다. 정신건강과 커플관계탄력성은 부모의 이혼여부에 따른 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 둘째. 부모자녀관계를 제외한 모든 변인에서, 이혼은 하지 않았지만, 부모의 부부갈등이 높은 집단의 대학생들이 가장 심리적인 적응의 어려움을 많이 경험하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구는 부모의 이혼 자체보다는 부모의 부부갈등이 자녀의 심리적 적응과 더 밀접한 관련이 있음을 시사한다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in psychological adjustment among university students according to their parents' divorce status and their parents' conflict. Specifically, students who have not-divorced parents were subdivided into two groups: those who have with a high degree of conflict and with a low degree of conflict. The results were as follows. First, the degree of the marital conflict from the divorced parents is higher than the one of the marital conflict from the parents not divorced. Second, the group who has the parents with a high level of marital conflict went through the highest difficulties among 3 groups at all variables without the parent-child relationship. Therefore, this study suggests that marital conflict is more closely related to psychological adjustment of children than parental divorce itself.
