Abstract

This study examined the trajectories of the marital satisfaction of parents to classify its latent classes and how marital satisfaction influences the behavioral problems of their children between the identified latent classes. The 1st to 8th and 10th data from the Korea Child-Adolescent Panel Survey were analyzed using the latent class growth analysis and BCH method. First, based on the mother's trajectory of marital satisfaction, five latent classes were identified: 'low constant', 'intermediate constant', 'temporary increment-constantly decrement', 'high constant, and 'highest constant'. At the same time, based on the father's trajectory of marital satisfaction, four latent classes were identified: 'increment', 'intermediate-slightly decrement', 'high-slightly decrement', and 'highest constant'. Second, mothers with low marital satisfaction had more children with behavioral problems, and their influence had more problems with internalized behavioral problems. These problems progressed to externalized behavioral problems as they grew. Both internalized and externalized behavioral problems were also found between the identified latent classes of the father's marital satisfaction. Children of fathers with low marital satisfaction showed more behavioral problems. These findings suggest that the marital satisfaction of parents is an important variable that can influence the behavioral problems of their children.

본 연구의 목적은 자녀 출생 이후 5년 동안의 부모의 결혼만족도 변화 궤적에 기초한 잠재계층이 어떤 형태로 존재하는지 확인하고, 잠재계층에 따라 자녀의 문제행동(만 5세, 만 6세, 초1, 초3 시기)에 차이가 있는지 확인하는 것이다. 이를 위해 한국아동패널의 1차(2008년)~8차(2015년), 10차(2017) 자료를 활용하여 잠재계층성장분석, BCH 방법(BCH method) 분석을 하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 어머니의 결혼만족도 변화 양상은 '최저수준 유지형 집단', '중간수준 유지형 집단', '일시 증가-지속 감소형 집단', '상수준 유지형 집단', '최상수준 유지형 집단', 아버지의 결혼만족도 변화 양상은 '상승형 집단', '중간 수준-소폭 감소형 집단', '상 수준-소폭 감소형 집단' '최상수준 유지형 집단'으로 구분되었다. 둘째, 어머니의 결혼만족도 잠재계층에 따라 만 5세-만 6세, 초1에서 최저수준 유지형, 중간수준 유지형 집단이 최상수준 유지형 집단보다 내재화 문제행동 수준이 더 높은 경향성이 확인되었으며, 만 5세-만 6세, 초1, 초3에서 대체로 최저수준 유지형, 중간수준 유지형, 일시 증가-지속 감소형 집단이 최상수준 유지형 집단보다 외현화 문제행동 수준이 높은 경향성이 확인되었다. 아버지의 결혼만족도 잠재계층에 따라 만 5세-만 6세, 초1, 초3에서 내재화, 외현화 문제행동에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 대체로 중간 수준-소폭 감소형 집단이 상 수준-소폭 감소형, 최상수준 유지형 집단보다 자녀의 문제행동 수준이 높은 경향성이 확인되었다. 본 연구는 자녀 출생 이후 5년 동안의 부모의 결혼만족도가 자녀의 문제행동(만 5세, 만 6세, 초1, 초3 시기)에 영향을 미치는 중요 변인임을 시사한다.
