Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the latent classes in the changing patterns of marital conflict perceived by mothers to explore its relationship with the changing patterns of mothers' depression, school readiness, self-esteem, and happiness of their children five years after their birth. A total of 1,243 responses from the 1st (2008) to 5th (2012) and 7th (2014) to 10th (2017) Korean Child and Youth Panel Study(KCYPS) were analyzed by Latent Growth Modeling (LGM) and Growth Mixture Analysis (GMA). The results were as follows. First, three changing patterns in the mothers' perceived marital conflict groups were identified: low-low changing, average-uptrend, and high-unchanging group. Second, an increasing pattern of depression was found from mothers of high-unchanging group over five years. Third, school readiness for their children was differentiated according to the latent classes. In particular, children from the low-low changing group showed higher readiness as well as self-esteem and happiness. Fourth, children from mothers of the low-low changing group showed high self-esteem and happiness in lower grades in elementary school. The results of this study suggest that the mothers' perceived marital conflict had an influence on themselves as well as their children's school related behaviors. Suggestions for an intervention program to resolve marital conflict are also discussed.

본 연구는 자녀 출생 후 5년 동안의 어머니가 지각한 부부갈등의 변화 양상에 존재할 수 있는 잠재계층을 확인하고, 잠재계층에 따라 어머니 우울의 변화 패턴, 취학 전 유아의 학교준비도, 초등학교 저학년 시기의 자아존중감, 행복감에 차이가 있는지 확인하는 것이다. 이를 위해 한국아동패널의 1차년도(2008년)부터 5차년도(2012년), 7차년도(2014년)부터 10차년도(2017년)의 1,243명의 자료를 성장혼합모형분석, 다집단 성장 모형분석, 일원분산분석 방법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 어머니가 지각한 부부갈등 변화 양상은 저수준 저변화, 중수준 상향, 상수준 무변화의 3개 잠재계층으로 존재하는 것으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 잠재계층에 따라 어머니 우울의 변화 패턴을 확인한 결과, 상수준무변화 집단의 어머니는 5년 동안 우울 수준이 증가하는 패턴이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 셋째, 잠재계층에 따라 취학 전 유아 시기의 학교준비도 4개 하위 요인 모두에서 차이가 있었으며, 4개 하위 요인 모두 저수준 저변화 집단의 점수가 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 넷째, 초등학교 저학년 시기의 자아존중감, 행복감은 대체로 저수준 저변화 집단의 점수가 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 어머니가 지각한 부부갈등의 변화 양상이 어머니 자신뿐 아니라 취학 전 유아 시기, 초등학교 저학년 시기의 자녀의 특성에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 보여주며, 부부갈등 해결을 위한 교육 및 상담 지원이 필요함을 시사한다.
