Abstract

This study empirically examined the effect of married women's self-awareness on the acceptance of extra-marital relationships and the mediating effects of individuals' criticism of television's drama about infidelity. The data was obtained by conducting a survey of married women (304 persons) and was analyzed based on the Structural Equal Model (SEM). The notable findings are as follows. First, the respondents are generally less receptive to extramarital relationships. Of the total respondents, 46.7% do not accept extramarital relations. 43.8% of the respondents showed an unclear position on extra-marital relationships, and about 10% of respondents showed an accepting position on extramarital affairs. This suggests that extramarital relationships can emerge as a real issue that is important for married women. Second, self-awareness does not directly affect married women's acceptance of extramarital affairs, however, 'self-awareness' proved to have a significant effect on 'acceptance to extramarital relationships' by using 'criticism' as a full mediation effect for affair-themed TV dramas. The effects of critical thinking and the judgment of married women on the content of TV dramas containing adultery has been confirmed to be a very important aspect of married women's understanding of extramarital relationships. Some practical and political implications are discussed based on this study's findings.

본 연구의 목적은 기혼여성들의 혼외관계 수용성에 자기지각이 미치는 영향에 TV 불륜 드라마에 대한 비판인식의 매개효과를 실증적으로 규명하는 것이다. 본 연구는 위해 기혼여성(304명)을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 얻은 자료를 구조방정식 모델(SEM: Structural Equational Model)에 기초하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 밝혀진 주요 내용은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 응답자들은 혼외관계 수용성(Mean=2.6346, 5점 척도) 수준은 전반적으로 낮은 편이다. 전체 응답자들 중에서 혼외관계를 수용하지 않는다고 밝힌 응답자는 46.7%였다. 혼인관계에 대해서 불분명한 입장을 보여준 응답자들이 43.8%였고, 혼외관계에 수용적인 입장을 보인 응답자들도 약 10%정도 되었다. 혼외관계문제가 기혼여성들에게 중요한 현실문제로 대두될 수 있음을 시사해준다. 둘째, 기혼여성의 '혼외관계 수용성'에 '자기지각성'은 직접적으로는 영향을 미치지는 않았지만, 불륜을 주제로 한 TV 드라마에 대한 '비판의식'을 완전매개(full mediation)로 하여, '자기지각성'은 '혼외관계 수용성'에 유의한 영향을 미칠 수 있음이 밝혀졌다. 기혼여성들이 불륜 TV 드라마의 콘텐츠에 대해서 얼마나 비판적인 사고와 판단을 할 수 있는지 여부가 기혼여성들이 혼외관계에 대한 인식을 이해하는데, 매우 중요한 측면임을 확인하였다. 연구결과를 토대로 실천적 함의를 논의하며 제안하였다.
