Most of the researches on the view of marriage from 1970s until now have merely been the status survey to get a glimpse of thoughts on the marriage of the time. It is true that the recognitions of marriage in the recent days, especially those of the youth are going through a great deal of changes. However, it is also recognized that although westernized views on marriage recently are flooding in, still the traditional perspectives are firmly rooted underneath. Therefore, this study intended to predict the potential conflicts from diversified marital perspectives of the youth in the contemporary society applying the Korean views on marriage as an effort to develop views on marriage in scientific way, analyze the psychological problems before and after marriage, and pursue successful marriage to form a stable and desirable family. As for the method, questions were selected by 275 university students and the validity and reliability of marriage views by 1,283 married couples were examined. As a result, the following conclusions were made. The scale for Korean marriage values were summarized to six factors - 'traditional marriage', 'successful marriage', 'irrationality of marriage', 'necessity of marriage', 'cohabitation', and 'divorce and remarriage', showing high correlation with the existing scales, and the reliability coefficient of each subscale indicated as comparatively reliable with the value of Cronbach α=.88 at Cronbach α=.63.

This study investigated how the awareness about marriage, the value of children, and the motivation for childrearing influences childbirth will in nursing students. The data was collected from May 1 to May 30, 2019, and 248 data samples were finally used for analysis. The collected data was analyzed using the SPSS /WIN 22.0 program. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, t-tests, ANOVA, Scheffe's test and multiple regression analysis were all calculated. The average of awareness about marriage was 3.39±.38, the average of the value of children was 2.72±0.39, the average motivation of childrearing was 2.73±0.78 and the average of childbirth will was 3.12±0.48. The childbirth will according to the general characteristics, was significantly different according to age (F=6.002, p=.003). Among the awareness about marriage, conservative view on marriage(r=.207, p=.001), active view on marriage(r=.226, p<.001), instrumental view on marriage(r=.181, p=.004), and motivation of childrearing(r=.283, p<.001) showed positive correlation ed with childbirth will. Childbirth will was negatively correlated with passive view on marriage (r=-.292, p<.001), and the value of children (r=-.226, p<.001). The factors affecting childbirth will of the study subjects were age(β=.155, p=.007), passive view on marriage(β=-.383, p<.001), motivation of childrearing (β=.315, p<.001), and the explanatory power was 23.6%. According to this study, it is necessary to confirm the effects of developing an intervention program and applying this program to improve the decisions of nursing students concerning marriage and having children.

The low birth rate in South Korea is a very serious problem. Recently, as personal happiness has emerged as an important life value of life, unmarried people have developed a negative tendency toward marriage. This study was conducted to investigate the attitude toward marriage, gender role and having children among college students, and to identify the factors affecting marriage. The participants were 383 unmarried nursing college students who live in D city. Data were collected from self-report questionnaires and analyzed using the t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression using the SPSS 22.0 program. Gender was a significant variable influencing attitude toward marriage. Moreover, the attitude toward marriage was negatively correlated with gender role, and positively correlated with having children. Attitude toward gender role was negatively correlated with having children. Regression analysis of the factors affecting attitude toward marriage showed that gender (male), attitude toward gender role, and attitude toward having children were significant influencing factors. Moreover, this model explained 51.9% of variance in attitude toward marriage. Overall, it is necessary to change individual values to solve the problem of low birthrate.

이 연구는 필자가 2007년 하반기부터 1년간 필리핀에 머물면서, 여성들의 국제결혼에 관해 실시한 연구결과의 일부이다. 이미 한국에서 결혼생활을 하고 있는 외국인여성을 대상으로 한 국내연구와는 달리, 이 연구는 출국준비 중인 필리핀신부들을 대상으로 심층면접을 실시하고 있다. 특히 면접대상자가 일상적으로 사용하는 언어를 이용하고, 시집식구들을 의식할 필요 없는 자유로운 분위기에서 면접이 이루어졌다는 점, 그리고 출국이전의 상황과 심경을 알아보았다는 점 등은 이 연구가 가진 장점이다. 또한 한국으로 들어오게 된 과정을 역추적 하는 방식이 아니라, 결혼, 국내외배우자선택, 특정국적의 배우자선택 과정을 여성 개인의 시각에서 서술토록 한 것도 기존의 연구와 다른 점이다. 연구결과, 필리핀여성의 국제결혼은 미국, 캐나다, 일본 등을비롯해 다양한 국적의 배우자와 이루어지고 있으며, 한국은 그 중의 하나에 지나지 않음을 알 수 있다. 한편, 한국인 남편은 국제결혼알선업체를 통해 만나는 사례가 다수이지만, 한국에 취업이나 시집을 간 친지를 통해 만나는 경우, 취업이나 휴양을 위해 필리핀에 남편이 방문한 동안 만나는 경우, 온라인 교제싸이트를 통해 만나는 경우 등 만남의 경로가 다양함을 알 수 있다. 또한 만남의 경로에 따라 서로 다른 결혼관과 가족관이 발견된다. 이 연구의 결과들에 비추어, 국제이주노동에서 논의되는 이론들의 일부 요소들이 국제결혼현상에서도 어느 정도 설명력을 가진다고 판단된다. 이와 동시에 국가간 방문기회와 인터넷교제기회의 증가라는 전지구화 현상 또한 국제결혼의 또 다른 일면을 파악하는데 주요한 요소가 될 것으로 보인다.

This study examined the role of self-construals in marital satisfaction among men and women, and explored how independent and interdependent self-construals contribute to or undermine marital satisfaction. Data were drawn from a self-administered questionnaire study in which 489 married people(aged 25-75) residing in Seoul participated. Path analyses were conducted using Structural Equation Modeling Program, and a goodness of fit of the proposed path model was evaluated. As expected, the positive impact of independent self-construal on marital satisfaction was mediated by self-esteem and clarity of communication, and that of interdependent self-construal on marital satisfaction was mediated by psychological stability and a sense of relational well-being. The direct effects of these two types of self-construal on marital satisfaction were opposite. As predicted, independent self-construal decreased marital satisfaction, whereas interdependent self-construal increased it. All of the direct and indirect effects of independent and interdependent self-construals on marital satisfaction were statistically significant, except the indirect effect of interdependent self-construal as mediated by psychological stability. The goodness of fit indexes of the path model indicated that the model was acceptable. However, the results of separate path analyses for men and women showed that some of the effects of self-construals on marital satisfaction differed by gender. Based on these results, implications for clinical social work practice were discussed.

This study aims to develop policies and programs to improve self-differentiation that will have an impact on establishing a positive view of marriage among college students by examining and confirming the impact of college students' self-differentiation on their views on marriage among college students in early adulthood. This is an attempted research study. For this purpose, a self-report online survey was conducted and analyzed among 204 college students attending a university in northern Gyeonggi Province. The analysis method used SPSS 25.0 program to calculate internal consistency, frequency analysis to identify the general characteristics of the research subject, descriptive statistical analysis to determine the level of the research variable, and differences in research variables according to the characteristics of the research subject. To find out, an independent samples t-test, analysis of variance, and post hoc test were conducted, and analysis using SPSS Process Macro was conducted to verify the mediation effect. The results of the analysis showed a positive (+) correlation between self-differentiation and views on marriage, which suggests that self-differentiation has a significant impact on establishing a positive view on marriage, and for this purpose, it is necessary to establish a positive view on marriage among college students. To this end, we aimed to provide basic data to support education for healthy families through national policy.
