The purpose of this study was to examine whether self-differentiation mediates the relationship between adolescents' family functioning and self-esteem and to examine whether peer support and family conflicts had moderated mediating effects. For this purpose, 522 students from four high schools in Gyeonggi province were surveyed about their family functioning, self-differentiation, self-esteem, and peer support. The results were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and PROCESS. The mediating, modulating, and moderated mediating effects were analyzed. The results of this study were as follows. First, correlation analysis showed that family functioning, self-differentiation, self-esteem, and peer support were significantly positively correlated. Second, the moderated mediating effects of peer support were as follows. First, self-differentiation had a partial mediating effect in the relationship between family functioning and self-esteem such that family functioning and self-differentiation were positively correlated and self-differentiation and self-esteem were positively correlated. Second, peer support had a moderating effect in the relationship between family functioning and self-differentiation that promoted self-differentiation. Thus, peer support affected family functioning and self-differentiation. Third, verifying the moderated mediating model of peer support by combining the mediation model of self-differentiation and the moderation model of peer support identified above showed that self-differentiation mediated the relationship between family functioning and self-esteem. Thus, family support affected self-differentiation and self-differentiation affected self-esteem. The significance of this study was as follows. First, it showed that self-differentiation significantly mediated the relationship between family functioning and self-esteem, clarifying the relationship between family functioning and self-esteem. Second, it showed that peer support moderated the relationship between family functioning and self-differentiation, identifying a mechanism that promotes self-differentiation. Third, it showed the mediation of self-differentiation of the relationship between family functioning and self-esteem depended on peer support.

The aim of this study was to validate the influence from academic stress caused by the achievement pressure of their parents and the adjustment effect of self-differentiation. The data was collected from 257 students from the 19th of May, 2014 to the 30th of May, 2014 for freshmen and sophomores of a college in the Kyoungbook region to validate the study. The SPSS/PC 18.0 program was used for the statistical analysis. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed more less influence of academic stress caused by the achievement pressure((${\beta}=.111$, p<0.05) of their parents but there was no reasonable value in validating the adjustment effect to reduce the academic stress by self-differentiation, i.e., it should be a non-linear and complex effect rather than a simple linear relationship for self-differentiation.

본 연구는 초기재혼부부의 결혼생활유지에 자기분화, 부부갈등대처방식에 미치는 효과의 프로그램을 개발하기 위한 사전 연구로서 재혼부부를 대상으로 자기분화, 부부갈등대처방식이 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 연구하고자 한다. 요구도 조사를 위한 포커스 인터뷰 대상은 서울과 경기도 수도권에 사는 부부이고 나이는 30세 이상에서 62세 미만을 선정하였으며, 재혼생활 기간이 1년 이상 6년 미만의 실질적 경험이 있는 부부를 선정하였으며, 부부 한쪽이라도 배우자가 전혼관계를 통해 자녀가 있는 복합가정을 선정하였다. 본 연구는 재혼부부를 대상으로 2017년 4월 4일부터 5월 25일까지 포커스 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 1회기에 100분씩 총 2회기로 개별적 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 포커스 인터뷰를 실시한 결과, 재혼부부들은 원가족에서 형성된 미분화로 역기능적인 습관들이 삼각관계를 형성하고 불안을 더욱 증폭시켰다. 부부가 문제해결을 하는 상황에서 낮은 자아분화 수준으로 표현하며 갈등을 더욱 고조시켰다. 낮은 자기분화수준은 갈등관계에서 자신을 이성과 감정을 분리하지 못하고 감정적으로 반응하기도 하며, 환경에 흡수되는 부정적 갈등 대처방식에도 영향을 미쳤다. 재혼부부에게 가장 취약한 면이 부부간 친밀감이며 유대관계이다. 전혼에서 상처와 부정적 정서로 인해 부부 신뢰감이 취약하였다. 비교적 짧은 재혼기간의 영향과 여러 갈등 요소 인 경제적 갈등, 계부모-친부모의 갈등, 계부모-계자녀의 갈등, 전 배우자와의 갈등, 부부간 잠재적 갈등 등으로 인해 친근한 부부유대관계를 맺지 못하는 어려움을 호소하기도 하였다. 특히 전혼관계의 배우자에 대한 부정적 경험이 남아 있을 경우 현재 배우자를 신뢰하지 못하는 갈등이 영향을 주고 있었다. 그로 인한 부부갈등의 악순환을 초래하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 재혼부부의 결혼생활유지를 돕는 자기분화, 갈등대처방식에 미치는 통합적 프로그램을 구성하려고 하는 필요성을 시사하는 것이다. 점진적으로 재이혼은 증가하여 부부 및 가족 구성원인 또 다시 부정적 영향을 미치고, 사회문제로 확산될 수 있음을 시사한다. 예방적 차원에서 재혼부부의 결혼생활유지 프로그램에 대한 필요성을 시사한다.

This study examines the mediating effects of self-efficacy between self-differentiation and depression by analyzing 105 parents who have at least one child with a disability. Regression analysis confirmed all hypothesis between self-differentiation, self-efficacy, and depression. There exists partially or complete mediation. That is the indirect effect on depression, self-efficacy explains the relationships between self-differentiation and depression to be as minimum as 24 percent to as maximum as 100 percent. This demonstrates that the self-efficacy significantly affects the relationship between self-differentiation and depression. Findings of this study recommend that self-efficacy should be enhanced through improving the level of self-differentiation. The results also imply that rehabilitation counselors need to understand the way of improving self-efficacy as well as the fact that the influencing factors of self-differentiation on self-efficacy is important. The findings of this study are informative for researchers, educators, and clinicians for mental health and psychological rehabilitation who assist the parents of children with disabilities.
