Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore socio-demographic factors, personality factors, socio-psychological factors, and relationship factors related to happiness of young children's fathers. Method: Subjects of this study were fathers who had 3, 4 and 5 years old children attending childcare centers. Data were analyzed by SPSS 18.0 program. Results: First, father's subjective well-being was predicted by father's extraversion of personality, job satisfaction, satisfaction of economic status, marital intimacy, and relationship with child. Marital intimacy was the strongest predictor of father's subjective well-being. Second, father's global life satisfaction was associated with occupational status, family monthly income, father's extraversion of personality, satisfaction of economic status, marital intimacy, and relationship with child. Father's global life satisfaction was explained by satisfaction of economic status the most. Third, father's meaning of life was related to father's educational level, father's extraversion of personality, job satisfaction, satisfaction of economic status, marital intimacy, and relationship with child. Father's meaning of life was explained by relationship with child the most. Fourth, father's positive emotion was predicted by father's extraversion of personality, job satisfaction, satisfaction of economic status, marital intimacy, and relationship with child. Extraversion of personality was the strongest predictor for father's positive emotion. Fifth, neuroticism of personality and marital intimacy were related to father's negative emotion, and neuroticism of personality was the strongest predictor for father's negative emotion.

Purpose: This study tries to systematically understand factors that explain levels of happiness among pregnant women in the Ecological systems theory. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 169 pregnant women in Korea. Collected data from self-report questionnaires were analyzed by hierarchical regression analysis using the SPSS statistics 23 program. Results: A total of 5 models were examined according to individual, microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem in the Ecological systems theory. In the first model including individual factors, extraversion, neuroticism, and physical and psychological change constitute significant factors explaining happiness. In the second model with microsystem factors and in the third one with mesosystem factors, marital intimacy appears to be a significant factor. In the fourth model including exosystem factors, community service is a significant factor. In the final model with social atmosphere, personality (${\beta}=.15$ for extraversion; ${\beta}=-.30$ for neuroticism), physical and psychological change (${\beta}=-.15$), marital intimacy (${\beta}=.35$), and community service (${\beta}=.18$) turn out to be significant. These factors explain 59% of the variance of happiness in the pregnant women in Korea. Conclusion: Considering the fact that pregnant women's happiness is explained by microsystem and exosystem factors as well as individual factors, developing intervention programs that can promote influencing factors such as marital intimacy and community service is necessary to improve levels of happiness among pregnant women in Korea.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships of married middle-aged men and women's gender-role identity, marital conflicts and psychological adjustment. Psychological adjustment was composed of mid life crisis, depression, and perceived happiness. The data of the study were collected from 397 married, middle aged men and women from 40 years to 59 years-old by using self-administered questionnaire method. The results showed that gender role identity was different according to sex. In addition, women's perceived level of marital conflict was found to be significantly different according to their gender role identity, indicating that androgynous women reported the lowest level of marital conflict. However, men's gender role conflict was not related to their marital conflict. Furthermore, men's psychological adjustment level was not different according to their gender role identity, while women's psychological adjustment differed, indicating that androgynous women reported the lowest level of psychological adjustment and the undifferentiated women the highest level of psychological adjustment. Finally, the result indicated that for both men and men, marital conflict were positively correlated with mid-crisis and depression, and negatively related with happiness.

본 연구는 자녀 출생 후 5년 동안의 어머니가 지각한 부부갈등의 변화 양상에 존재할 수 있는 잠재계층을 확인하고, 잠재계층에 따라 어머니 우울의 변화 패턴, 취학 전 유아의 학교준비도, 초등학교 저학년 시기의 자아존중감, 행복감에 차이가 있는지 확인하는 것이다. 이를 위해 한국아동패널의 1차년도(2008년)부터 5차년도(2012년), 7차년도(2014년)부터 10차년도(2017년)의 1,243명의 자료를 성장혼합모형분석, 다집단 성장 모형분석, 일원분산분석 방법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 어머니가 지각한 부부갈등 변화 양상은 저수준 저변화, 중수준 상향, 상수준 무변화의 3개 잠재계층으로 존재하는 것으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 잠재계층에 따라 어머니 우울의 변화 패턴을 확인한 결과, 상수준무변화 집단의 어머니는 5년 동안 우울 수준이 증가하는 패턴이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 셋째, 잠재계층에 따라 취학 전 유아 시기의 학교준비도 4개 하위 요인 모두에서 차이가 있었으며, 4개 하위 요인 모두 저수준 저변화 집단의 점수가 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 넷째, 초등학교 저학년 시기의 자아존중감, 행복감은 대체로 저수준 저변화 집단의 점수가 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 어머니가 지각한 부부갈등의 변화 양상이 어머니 자신뿐 아니라 취학 전 유아 시기, 초등학교 저학년 시기의 자녀의 특성에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 보여주며, 부부갈등 해결을 위한 교육 및 상담 지원이 필요함을 시사한다.

본 연구의 목적은 기혼 취업여성의 우울에 관한 인과적 관계를 규명하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 분석자료로는 제1차 서울시복지패널 조사자료를 이용하였으며, 서울시복지패널자료의 조사대상자 중 20~50대 기혼 취업여성 507명을 분석대상으로 선정하였고, 분석방법으로는 구조방정식 모형을 이용하였다. 분석결과, 기혼 취업여성의 성역할태도로부터 복리후생만족도와 결혼행복감을 거쳐서 우울에 완전매개효과 경로가 형성되었고, 복리후생만족도는 우울과 결혼행복감 간에 부분매개효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 기혼 취업여성의 우울을 해소하기 위한 방안을 제시해보면 우선, 기혼 취업여성의 우울은 우리 사회가 가사노동은 아직까지 여성의 역할로 간주하는 데에서 기인하는 바가 크므로 취업여성들이 일과 가족생활을 양립할 수 있도록 지원하고, 그러한 맥락에서 남성의 가사 및 육아참여를 유도할 수 있는 정책적 조치가 요구된다. 둘째, 기혼 취업여성이 전통주의 성역할 태도를 견지할수록 결혼행복감 및 복리후생만족도는 낮은 결과가 나타났음을 고려해 볼 때 우리 사회에 잔존하고 있는 전통주의적 성역할 가치관을 변화시킬 수 있는 복리후생제도 및 가족친화제도의 활성화 방안이 요구된다. 셋째, 기혼 취업여성의 우울에 큰 영향을 미치는 결혼행복감을 증진시키기 위해서는 부부 및 부모 교육을 포함한 가족서비스를 더욱 강화하는 방안을 모색하는 것이 필요하다.

본 연구는 중년여성의 자아탄력성, 부부의사소통, 정신건강이 행복감에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 수행되었다. 본 연구에 참여한 연구대상자는 239명으로, 평균연령은 54.15±6.38세 이었다. 연구분석 방법은 SPSS 21.0을 사용하여 일반적 특성에 따른 제 변수간의 차이, 자아탄력성, 부부의사소통, 정신건강, 행복감의 상관관계를 확인하였고, 중년여성의 행복감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하기 위해 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 자아탄력성 평균 3.46점((1-5점), 부부의사소통 평균 2.44점(1-5점), 정신건강 평균 1.82점(0-4점), 행복감 3,21점(1-5점)으로 나타났다. 일반적 특성에서 행복감의 차이는 교육수준(F=3.406, p=.035), 주관적 건강상태(F=7.385, p=.001)에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 제 변수들간 상관관계를 확인한 결과 행복감은 자아탄력성(r=.393, p=<.001)은 정적상관관계를 보였고 신체화(r=-.134, p=.039), 우울(r=-.356, p<.001), 불안(r=-.269, p<.001)과는 부적상관 관계를 보였다. 중년여성의 행복감에 영향을 미치는 예측요인은 우울(β=-.437, p<.001)자아탄력성(β=.350, p<.001), 신체화(β=.239 p=.009), 건강상태: 보통(β=-.150, p=.009), 나쁨(β=-.147, p=.015)로 30.4%의 설명력을 보였고, 회귀모형은 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났다(F=14.02, p<.001). 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 중년여성의 행복감을 증진시키기 위해 자아탄력성을 증진시키고 정신건강을 강화하는 교육 프로그램이 개발되어야 할 것이다.
