The purpose of this study was to model the relations between male and female university students' self-differentiation, rejection sensitivity, and interpersonal anxiety. Questionnaires from 502 university students in Seoul were analysed. The findings are as follows. Firstly, self-differentiation, rejection sensitivity, and interpersonal anxiety were significantly different according to gender. Secondly, the level of differentiation from family regression was higher for both male and female students. And the lower the rejection sensitivity experiencing in vertical relations became, and the lower the rejection sensitivity on horizontal relations was, the lower the interpersonal anxiety became. Thirdly, it was confirmed that for male students, differentiation from family regression affected rejection sensitivity on horizontal relations, and for females, differentiation from emotional reactivity affected ejection sensitivity on both horizontal and vertical relations. Finally, rejection sensitivity played a full mediation parameter when self-differentiation affected interpersonal anxiety, and it was demonstrated differences by gender. This study was meaningful in that it confirmed the relations between male and female university students' self-differentiation, rejection sensitivity, and interpersonal anxiety.

This study examined the effects of self-differentiation on family-life satisfaction and job satisfaction, and investigated the mediating effects of conflict-managing behavior. The participants in the present study were 196 married employees. LISREL was employed to test this hypothetical structural model. The results of this empirical study demonstrated that self-differentiation had positive effects on both family-life satisfaction and job satisfaction, which was mediated by the conflict-managing behavior but did not have a direct effect on either family-life satisfaction or job satisfaction. This study verified that conflict-managing behavior had mediating effects on the relationships among self-differentiation, family-life satisfaction, and job satisfaction. The results indicated that the higher the level of self-differentiation was, the more effective conflict-managing behavior was. And the more effective conflict-managing behavior was, the higher the levels of family-life satisfaction and job satisfaction were.

The focus of this study was on the self-differentiation level of families with an elderly member suffering from dementia. Based on 340 questionnaires collected in Seoul and Gyeonggi, the study intended to explain the adaptation issues of those families. The variables of interest, which might be related to the self-differentiation, were chronic anxiety(i.e. stress), the family function, psychosomatic symptoms and the family's adaptation to care-giving. As a result of analyzing the effects of the variables potentially related to the self-differentiation level of care-giving families, the findings from this study were as follow. With decreasing self-differentiation level of the family caring for an elderly member suffering from dementia, the levels of stress and psychosomatic symptoms were significantly increased, but the family function and the adaptation to care-giving tended to decrease. Conversely, with increasing self-differentiation, the levels of stress and psychosomatic symptoms were significantly decreased, while the family function and adaptation to care-giving were promoted.

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.
