Abstract

This study is an empirical research based on data analysis obtained by surveying 655 adult men and women. The notable findings are as follow: First, overall, individuals' perception of extramarital affair is negative, but about 16.4% respondents have a positive perception of it. Second, the respondents have a more critical perception of their spouse's extramarital affairs compared to their own. Thirdly, the less critical perception of extramarital affair, the more acceptance of my extramarital relationship, the less tolerance of my spouse's extramarital relationship regardless marital status. Forth, while the less tolerance of spouse's extramarital relationship, the less openness to extramarital sex among unmarried group, the more acceptance of my own extramarital relationship, the more openness to extramarital sex among married group. Lastly, individuals' perception of extramarital relationship does not directly affect the openness to extramarital sex only among unmarried group, however, the correlation between the perception of extramarital affairs and the openness to extramarital sex is fully mediated by the effect of unacceptance of spouse's extramarital affairs. The moderating effect of marital status is proved.

본 연구는 남·녀 655명을 대상으로 설문조사하여 얻은 자료를 분석한 실증연구로 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전반적으로 불륜에 대한 인식은 부정적인 편이지만, 약 16.4%의 응답자들은 긍정적인 인식을 갖고 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 둘째, 본인의 외도에 비해 배우자의 외도에 보다 비판적인 인식을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 결혼여부와 상관없이 불륜에 대해 덜 비판적일 수록 본인의 혼외관계를 더 많이 용인하고, 배우자의 혼외관계를 용인하지 않는 현상이 뚜렷하였다. 넷째, 미혼집단은 배우자외도 불용인이 혼외성관계 개방성에 부적(negatively)효과를 미쳤고, 기혼집단에서는 본인외도 용인이 혼외성관계 개방성에 정적효과를 미쳤다. 다섯째, 미혼집단은 '불륜인식은 '혼외성관계 개방성'에 직접효과를 미치지 않았지만, '배우자 외도 불용인'을 완전매개로 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀져 결혼상태의 조절효과가 입증되었다.
