This study aims to develop a family strength scale for dual-earner families with young children. Based on existing theories of family strength and a review of related literature, we draw on 80 items to measure the strength of dual-earner families. Using a sample of 747 people, all members of dual-earner families with young children, we examined the items' factor structures. Using the statistical method, we checked the validity and reliability of these items. The final scale consisted of four domains with a total of 49 items : basic foundation (basic structure, economic life, and resource management), parenting, social interest and participation (citizenship, volunteer, leisure, network), work-life balance (balance between work and family, sharing the family role, equal division of role). The developed scale can be used in the field, such as in the Healthy Family Support Center or Family Center, in the context of education, counseling, or consulting for dual-earner families. In order to enhance the usefulness and efficiency of the scale, the adequate education system for the professionals who handle this scale in the field and updated data are required.

현대사회에서 맞벌이부부 가족이 증가하고 있고 맞벌이부부가족으로써 가족체계가 유지되고 발달됨에 따라 맞벌이부부 가족의 스트레스 관리 방식을 밝히기 위해서는 가족간의 정서적, 관계적 상호작용 과정을 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 맞벌이부부 가족에 관한 이전의 연구들은 가족의 스트레스와 대처방안에 촛점을 두었고 정서적 상호작용과정에 대해서는 중요시 하지 않았다. 이 연구의 목적은 맞벌이부부 가족의 스트레스 관리에 대한 이해를 돕기위하여 가족의 발달적인 측면에 중점을 두어 두가지 이론―가족자원관리 이론과 Family FIRO모델의 통합을 제시하는데 있다. 가족자원관리 이론과 Family FIRO모델의 통합은 이론이 설명하지 못하는 측면에 대해 상호보완적이 시각을 제시해 준다.

본 연구는 가족스트레스 이론적 모델인 Double ABCX Model과 일과 가정생활의 역할 긴장에 관한 선행연구를 기초로하여 제안된 이론적 모델을 검증하는데 목적이 있다. 이론적 모델의 검증을 통하여 일과 가정생활의 역할 stressor나 두 가지 역할의 누적으로 쌓이는 역할 긴장이 가족스트레스 이론으로 설명될 수 있는가\ulcorner 또한 매개 변수인 가족자원과 대처방안에 의해 어떻게 중재되어 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 가를 규명하고자 한다. 미국 로스앤젤레스 지역의 한국교민 중 맞벌이 부부인 가족을 연구대상으로 선정하고 설문지법으로 남편과 부인의 자료를 분리하여 표집하였는데 본 연구에서는 153명의 부인으로부터 얻은 자료만을 분석하고자 한다. 자료는 이론적 검증에 유용한 LISREL VII 프로그램을 사용하여 분석한다. 자료의 분석결과가 처음 제안된 모델은 검증하지 못했지만 가족자원 변인과 대처방안 변인간의 상호 관계 효과를 고려하여 수정된 모델은 가족스트레스 이론으로 일과 가정생활을 병립하는데서 오는 stressor나 누적된 역할 긴장을 이해할 수 있음이 검증되었다. 모델의 검증을 통하여 맞벌이 부부가족의 부인에게는 일과 가정생활의 stressor가 누적되어 역할긴장을 증가시켰으며 이 역할긴장은 주로 가정생활의 역할 stressor에서 기인하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 가족자원은 일과 가정 생활의 두 역할 stressor에 의해 강도를 더하는 역할 긴장을 감소시키고 삶의 질을 증가시키는 중요한 매개변수로 나타났다.

In this investigation of child's psychological wellbeing and parental satisfaction with dual income family(DIF), subjects were 297 3rd and 5th grade elementary school students and their mothers. Results showed that boys and younger children were more satisfied with mother's working than girls and older children. Mothers' DIF satisfaction was dependent on gross family income, parents' occupations, working conditions of each parent, commuter marriage status, and length of time in DIF. Child's psychological wellbeing related positively to mother's parental satisfaction, and to mother's satisfaction with parental roles, parent-child relationships, spouse support and child support. Only sub factors of dilemmas in parental role related negatively to DIF status. Child's satisfaction with mother's roles, father's roles, and mother working influenced mother's parental role satisfaction.
