Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify type of anger expression and mental health in middle aged women. Methods: From August to October 2005, survey data were collected by using the State Trait Anger Expression Inventory and Symptom Check List-90-Revision (SCL). Participants (1,442) were classified into four types of anger expression by K-mean cluster analysis. For collecting interview data for content analysis, 18 participants (4-5 participants from each type of anger expression) were recruited. The interview data were collected between March and September 2006. Results: The average score of the state anger of middle-aged women was 11.95, and that of the trait anger was 18.75. The average anger expression scores were 12.72 for Anger-In, 13.45 for Anger-Out, and 18.51 for Anger-Control. The average SCL scores were 45.03 for somatization, 42.23 for obsessive-compulsiveness, 42.44 for interpersonal sensitivity, 42.45 for depression, 42.40 for anxiety, 42.62 for hostility, 44.44 for phobic anxiety, 43.65 for paranoid ideation, and 43.08 for psychoticism. The anger expression types identified in this study were 1) anger-out in secret, 2) anger-control with a patience, 3) anger-out with suppression, and 4) low anger expression type. The psychosomatic symptom scores were the highest in type III (anger-out with suppression), and the lowest in type IV (low anger expression type). Conclusion: This study can be helpful in assisting middle aged women to control their anger effectively and may contribute to the improvement of their mental health.

Defining prediction variables related to metamemory for the adults in aging process has worthwhile meaning from the perspective that the produced results can be helpful to reducing the difficulty of memorizing efforts and it can also enhance quality of life of aged. This study attempted to analysis relationship between perceived health status, depression, memory self-efficacy and meta memory for the subjects of middle age and old age adults. This study was designed by adopting descriptive correlational analysis method for the 468 middle and old age adults who are living in Seoul. Samples were selected by convenience sampling. Data collection was done over 1 month period in june 1998. The instruments used in this study were health status measuring scale including depression measuring scale, memory self efficacy measuring scale and metamemory measuring scale which were verified for reliability. Data collected were analized by using SPSS for frequency, Peason correlation, t-test and ANOVA according to the variables character and the study purposes. Results of the study were as follows. 1. Relationship between perceived health status, depression, memory self-efficacy and metamemory. Relational analyses between perceived health status, depression, memory self-efficacy and metamemory supported the hypotheses of 1st, 2nd and 3rd(p < .01). These results suggested that the aged perceived great health status then their memory self-efficacy, and metamemory showed the high scores. In the case of depression when its level became decreased metamemory was inclined to increased. Thus, it is identified that strong relationship exists between these variables. 2. Perceived health status, depression, memory self-efficacy by subject's general characteristics. Scores of perceived health status were high in the group of man compared to the group of women, and also highly educated group showed great perceived health status. Group of persons having occupation showed high score of perceived health status and low depression score. The score of memory self-efficacy and metamemory showed higher in the middle aged than the old aged. The high scores of memory self-efficacy and metamemory were found in the group of highly educated people and who have continuing education. The high scores of memory self-efficacy were found in the group of persons having their job and high metamemory scores found in the group of persons having religion. In summary, the greater perceived health status and memory self-efficacy, the more metamemory scores were likely increased and the more depression level was decreased, the more metamemory was likely increased. Also it was found that general characteristics like educational level, continuing education and religion influenced the metamemory of the aged. Therefore, prevention the aged from getting depression and activation of health promotion are needed to delay time of memory loss.

본 연구는 중년 여성의 일상생활스트레스가 건강과 우울에 미치는 영향과 이 관계에서 영적 안녕과 대처기제의 매개효과와 조절효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 서울 시내와 수도권에 소재하고 있는 10여개 교회에서 40-50대 여성신도들을 대상으로 조사를 실시하였다. 전체 응답자 중 230명의 자료를 최종분석에 활용하였고, 구조방정식 모형으로 분석하였으며, 구체적으로 경로 분석, 조절효과 분석 등을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 일상생활스트레스는 신체적으로나 정신적인 건강을 해치는 원인으로 작용하고 있고, 우울 수준을 높이는 원인으로 작용하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 일상생활스트레스는 건강과 우울에 직접적인 영향을 미치며, 동시에 일상생활스트레스는 영적 안녕을 매개로 하여 영향을 미치는 부분 매개 효과를 하고 있었다. 즉 일상생활스트레스는 영적 안녕을 저해하고, 저해된 영적 안녕은 신체 건강과는 연관성이 분명하지 않지만 정신건강을 해치고, 우울 수준을 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 일상생활스트레스가 건강과 우울간의 관계에서 대처기제들의 조절효과를 분석한 결과, 12개 대처기제 중에서 자기비판, 긍정적 해석, 자제 등 3개의 대처기제가 유의한 조절효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 중년 여성의 일상생활스트레스 원과 건강특성 간의 관계에의 부적 영향을 최소화하기 위한 실천에의 함의와 정책 방안을 제시하였다.

중년여성들은 여성성의 상실과 함께 신체적, 정신적 변화를 겪게 되며, 자녀의 성장과 독립으로 돌봄과 양육의 역할이 감소되면서 심리적으로 공허함을 느끼기도 한다. 이 여성들은 자신의 역할감소에 따른 상실감과 공허함을 자신의 여가생활을 위해 자신의 가치관과 신념을 유지하는 계기로 이해하고 있다. 이에 중년여성들은 공예활동체험을 통하여 인간과 인간의 소통을 통한 사회적 관계에서 이루어지는 관계형성과 자아실현의 기회로 인식하여 우울감이나 공허한 마음과 같은 중년의 위기에 나타나는 부정적 감정을 극복하고 자아존중감과 사회적 지지를 확립하고 있다. 우리는 이 연구에서 공예활동의 체험요소가 중년여성의 자아존중감과 사회적 지지에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 공예활동의 체험요소를 독립변수로, 자아존중감과 사회적 지지를 종속변수로 하는 연구모형을 설정하였다. 연구결과 교육적 체험, 오락적 체험, 일탈적 체험은 자아존중감에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있으나 심미적 체험은 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하고 있다. 그리고 오락적 체험, 심미적 체험은 사회적 지지에 유의한 영향을 주지만 교육적 체험, 일탈적 체험에는 유의한 영향을 주지 못하였다. 따라서 중년여성의 감각과 감성의 변화에 영향을 줄 수 있는 체험공간의 환경적 특성인 미학적 요소와 시각적 요소를 살릴 수 있는 콘텐츠와 교류할 수 할 수 있는 출발에서 접근할 수 있도록 공예체험에 대하여 제도적으로 지원하는 방안이 제공되어야 한다. 그리고 공예활동으로 궁극적인 삶에 변화를 주는 요인을 고려하지 않은 한계가 있어 웰빙과 관련된 변수 등을 도출하여 새로운 모형을 제시할 것을 제안하고자 한다.

This survey of 836 midlife women ($51.0{\pm}4.0$ yrs) was undertaken by exclusively a face to face interview by well-trained interviewers guarantying data collection of higher quality. This survey data was analyzed using the SPSS program. The main purpose of this study was to describe the factors affecting self-rated health status, including dietary habits and physical mental social factors. In the self-rated health status of a 'good' group, age was lower (p < 0.05), monthly income was higher (p < 0.01), dietary habits score (p < 0.001) and appetite (p < 0.001) and the degree of movement (p < 0.001) and life satisfaction (p < 0.001), marital intimacy (p < 0.001) and relationship satisfaction with their children (p < 0.001) were significantly higher than the 'bad' group. The level of depression (p < 0.001) and severe feeling of menopausal symptoms (p < 0.001) were significantly higher in the 'poor' group. The results of correlation analysis demonstrated that educational level (r = 0.069, p < 0.05), income (r = 0.157, p < 0.001), eating habits (r = 0.235, p < 0.001), appetite (r = 0.263, p < 0.001), life satisfaction (r = 0.197, p < 0.001), marital intimacy (r = 0.167, p < 0.001), child relationship satisfaction (r = 0.149, p < 0.001), positive attitude toward menopause (r = 0.070, p < 0.05) showed a positive correlation, but depression (r = -0.122, p < 0.001) and menopausal symptoms (r = -0.292, p < 0.001) showed a negative association with self-rated health status. The predictable factors affecting the self-rated health status of middle-aged women were examined by multiple regression analysis. The 'menopausal symptoms - physical discomfort' was the most important variables followed by the 'appetite', 'eating habits', 'menopause symptoms - sensory problems', 'BMI', 'positive attitude toward menopause' and 'high marital intimacy'. These results showed that the 'appetite' and 'eating habits' are important factors affecting the self-rated health status. Therefore, a program of dietary education must be considered for the effective health education and counseling of middle-aged women.
