Patterns and changes of marriage have drawn much attention as they have been pointed out a key factor of low fertility. Nonetheless, systematic studies on marriage have been quite limited. This study, using recent nationwide survey on marriage and fertility, attempts to explain whether and how intention of marriage would differ between never married men and never married women. The logit regression analysis reveals that the likelihood of planning marriage between both sexes are still different even after controlling demographic characteristics, economic status, household and family background, and attitudes toward sex and premarital cohabitation. Furthermore, important factors affecting the likelihood of planning marriage turns out to be different between men and women. For instance, men with a job is more likely than men without a job to plan marriage. However, for women, the effect of having a job is not found. Such result, with other sex differential effects of living arrangement and attitudinal variable, suggests that the mechanism through which men and women transit from singlehood to marriage would differ. More attention on gender differential should be paid in developing conceptual arguments and conducting empirical analysis regarding marriage and its related topics.

This study was intended to identify path structures through pathway analysis with an emphasis on the cognitive elements that influence the acculturative stress of marriage-based immigrant women. The results of the study were designed to establish a foundation for practical measures and policies to support marriage-based immigrant women to adjust their lives in the culture. This study has established research model on the path structure according to the psychological stress theory as to how social support, coping strategy, and acculturative attitude recognized as a cognitive element of marriage-based immigrant women on the acculturative stress and implement practical verification. In addition, control variables for the use of ages, education level, period of marriage, and income level of socio-demographic variables were analyzed. To obtain data for the study, convenience sampling and snowball sampling of marriage-based immigrant women that resided in the area of C and J were conducted simultaneously through surveys and applied to the analysis of 204 cases. Analysis of the path structure of influence of social support, coping strategies, and acculturative attitudes that were perceived as a cognitive element of marriage-based immigrant women influencing acculturative stress revealed that these factors were specifically weighted towards acculturative. Moreover, comprehensive acculturative attitude was identified as a crucial variable reducing the effects of acculturative stress during the acculturative procedures of marriage-based immigrant women. This assumes that establishing and performing policies supporting co-existence of homeland cultures of marriage-based immigrant women and Korean cultures might be an efficient action for dealing with acculturative stress rather than forcing them to adjust to Korean culture.

Increasing rate of late or deferred marriage in our society may have been inferred from alleged contribution of media use on people's idealistic expectations about marriage. This study examined the relationship between Korean-Chinese romance drama viewing and various sub-concepts of idealistic fantasy about marriage. Results from survey analysis indicate that although romance drama viewing has a positive association with life satisfaction, it was positively associated with various aspects of idealistic marriage fantasy (i.e., less materialism in marriage, more belief in love at first sight, and more unrealistic expectations on marriage). Further, differential cultivation effects of Korea and Chinese romance dramas were discussed.

This study is a descriptive research study to understand the degree of perception of gender role attitudes and domestic violence targeting marriage migrant women. The subjects of this study were 371 married migrant women residing in area J from October 4 to December 20, 2019. Data analysis was statistically processed using SPSS/WIN 24.0 program. As a result of this study, the subject's gender role attitude was found to be an average of 2.05 points out of 4 points. The subject's perception of domestic violence was an average of 2.02 out of 4 points. There were statistically significant differences in gender role attitude according to the general characteristics of the subjects in terms of domestic residence period, education level, nationality, average monthly income, and the use of international marriage brokers. There were statistically significant differences in perception of domestic violence according to the general characteristics of the subjects in terms of age, education level, nationality, and whether they were married. Based on these findings, it is hoped that the foundation for preventing and solving domestic violence in multicultural families can be laid through awareness education and publicity on domestic violence.

본 연구의 목적은 노년층 남성과 여성의 인구통계적 특성이 의복태도, 의복행동, 쇼핑행동에 미치는 영향을 규명하는 것이다. 설문지를 통하여 나이 55세 이상의 미국 남부에 거주하는 67명의 남성과 75명의 여성이 자료분석에 이용되었다. 의복 및 쇼핑과 관련된 변수로 의복태도, 유행의사 선도력, 기성복에 대한 만족, 쇼핑관심, 점포충성도가 사용되었으며, 인구통계적 특성은 수입, 결혼여부, 사회참여도, 학력, 나이, 성으로 구성되었다. 결과로 의복태도는 미혼일수록, 사회참여도가 높을수록, 학력이 높을수록 그 수치가 높은 것으로 낱났다. 기성복에 대한 만족은 수입과 학ㄱ력이 높을수록 또 남성이 여성에 비해 만족도가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 쇼핑에 대한 관심의 정도는 결혼여부, 학력, 성과 관련이 있었다. 즉 미혼일수록 교육수준이 높을수록 남성보다는 여성이 쇼핑에 관심이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그 외 유해의사선도력은 오직 성에 의해서만 영향을 받았으며, 점포충성도 역시 학력에 의해서만 영향을 받았다. 남성과 여성 각각의 차이에 대한 분석에서는 남녀에 따라 인구통계적 특성이 의복태도, 의복행동, 쇼핑행동에 미치는 영향이 다르게 나타나 남녀간의 차이를 보여주었다. 예로 남성에게 있어 결혼여부는 쇼핑관심에 영향을 미치는 중요 변수이나 여성의 경우 교육수준이 쇼핑관심에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 유통업 종사자들은 노년층 남성 중 미혼자를, 노년층 여성 중 고학력자를 주요 표적으로 삼아 마케팅 전략을 세울 필요가 있다 하겠다.

This study investigates changes in family values (attitudes toward marriage, children, and traditional sex roles) and examines how the values influence on their intentions of marriage and expected age at first marriage. A sample consists of 5,984 never married men and women drawn from the 2005 and 2009 National Marriage and Fertility Study. The results show that the endorsement on marriage and children has decreased while endorsement on traditional sex role attitude has increased over the past five years. Those who have higher values on marriage, children, and traditional sex role have a higher likelihood of marriage intention. However, the effects of the family values on marriage intention have weakened during the period. The endorsement on marriage lowers the mean ages of the expected first marriage. Comparing the effects of the family values during the period, this study find that normative aspects of the family values have lower effects, whereas individual aspects of the values have stronger effects over time. These findings suggest that the effects of family values vary across sex, time, and the aspect of the values.
