This study aims to analyze marital satisfaction over the family life course and to find its determinants in Korea and Japan. The data for this study came from nationwide representative sample surveys on family in these two countries including 5,308 Korean and 4,920 Japanese men and women living with their spouses. In order to see the cultural difference and similarity in marital relations, the effects of education, income, employment, marriage gradients (normative patterns between the spouses), family stress, and quality of conjugal interactions on Korean and Japanese couples' marital satisfaction were examined. It was found that the marital satisfaction showed a U-shape pattern for both Korean and Japanese couples. In both countries husbands tend to have higher marital satisfaction than wives over the entire life course. The most important determinants of Korean and Japanese couples' marital satisfaction are good qualities of conjugal interactions including deep trust and concerns for spouse and sex life satisfaction. For Korean couples good conjugal interactions is better predictor of marital satisfaction than sex life, while for Japanese couples sex life is more important determinant of marital satisfaction.

본 연구는 개인-환경 상호작용 가정을 바탕으로 한국의 두 가지 결혼 유형에 따른 배우자 선택과 결혼 적응의 메커니즘을 이해하기 위하여 개인, 과정, 맥락의 역할을 포함안 연구 모델 (person-process-context model)을 적용시켰다. 배우사 선택, 이에 따른 부부간 유사성과 결혼적응에 있어 개인과 사회적 특성의 상대적 기여도와 그 매커니즘을 조사하기 위해 154쌍의 한국 부부를 대상으로 설문조사 하였다. 연구결과에 의하면, 중매결혼과 연애결혼의 결혼유형에 관계없이 모두 동질혼의 경향을 보였다. 개인적 특성이 결혼 적응도와 높은 상관을 보인 반면, 부부간 유사성은 결혼 적응도와 유의한 상관이 업었다. 이는 결혼 적응에 있어서 환경적 요소(e. g. dyadic similarity)보다 개인적 요소가 중요하다는 것을 시사한다. 결혼유형에 따른 동질혼의 정도에는 유의한 차이가 없으며, 또한 동질혼의 정도에 따른 결혼적응도에는 유의한 차이가 발견되지 않았다. 연애결혼과 중매결혼의 중요한 차이는 결혼전 교제기간 이었다. 연애 결혼한 부부는 비교적 오랜 교제 기간을 통해 더 만족한 결혼생활을 영위하는 것으로 나타났다. 결혼전 교제기간의 효과를 통제한 후 두 결혼 유형의 결혼적응도에 대한 차이는 사라졌다. 연구결과들을 결혼과 성격에 관한 이론을 비탕으로 논의하였다.

본 연구는 한국복지패널(KOWEPS) 15차 연도(2020년) 자료를 활용하여 장애인의 인구사회학적 특성인 성별, 연령, 교육수준, 혼인상태에 따라 가족문제해결, 가족관계만족도, 가족생활만족도에 대하여 어떠한 차이가 있는가를 분석하고, 이를 장애인 복지 정책 기초자료로 활용하는데 목적을 두었다. 연구대상은 한국복지패널 15차 년도 전체패널 27,447명에서 2021년 현재 장애인으로 등록된 1,281명중 80세(1942년생) 이상 422명을 제외한 859명으로 하였다. 연구결과 성별, 연령, 교육수준에 따른 가족문제해결, 가족관계만족도, 가족생활만족도의 평균값이 대부분 유의미한 차이가 없는 양상으로 나타났으나 가족문제해결, 가족관계만족도, 가족생활만족도의 3개변인 모두에서 결혼 상태에 따른 평균의 차이는 각각 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 유배우자의 경우는 그렇지 않은 결혼 상태에 비해 가족관계가 원만하게 이루어지고 있는 것으로 나타나 장애인들의 경우 가족 간의 순기능적 의사소통과 사회적 지지가 반드시 필요한 것으로 판단된다.
