Marital status has been identified as an important risk factor affecting adult mortality. Many studies have found that marriage has positive effects on mortality and increases life expectancy. Since most pension contracts providing retirement income are provided to married couples, mortality assumption for actuarial valuation based on the entire population is likely to overestimate the actual mortality of the group of beneficiaries specified in the contracts. This study considered the differences in mortality according to marital status to analyze the length and value of the payments of a typical pension contract for a married couple. The study quantified the effect on actuarial measurements of considering marital status in mortality assumptions with a multi-state model framework using Korean experience mortality data organized by marital status. The results of analysis indicate that considering marital status in mortality assumptions improves mortality risk management.

The purpose of this study was to examine the change of couple relationship factors predicting marital satisfaction and divorce intention over time tv comparing the couples' first year with their present year of marriage. The couple relationship factors consisted of affection, ambivalence, affectional expression, the expression of negativity. The study subjects 355 married women having preschool children aged 7 years old and elementary school students in the 6th grade. Data were analyzed by SPSSWIN with the method of MANOVA. The results of this study showed that couples in happy groups without divorce intention became less affectionate and demonstrated less affectional expression, and more ambivalence and expression of negativity over time. However, the amount of change was not as large as that of the unhappy groups. The findings of this research indicated that the decline of affection and affectional expression and the increase of ambivalence and expression of negativity were probably, as normative, a natural consequence of the transition from the first year of marriage to a more mature relationship. Therefore, the change over time was not important. However, the amount and aspects of change were the main points which researchers and practitioners should pal attention to in the future.

This study investigated a path model in which men's and women's communication behavior escalating marital conflict (CBEMC) may be influenced directly and indirectly, via negative interpretations of their spouse, by their spouse's problem behavior, the couple's turning toward bids, and dyadic perspective-taking. Self-report data were collected from 498 married men and women who were living in Busan, Korea. Multiple-group analysis revealed that the path model was not equivalent for men and women. Their couple's turning toward bids and dyadic perspective-taking for men, and their spouse's problem behavior and dyadic perspective-taking for women, had direct effects on CBEMC. Further, their spouse's problem behavior and the couple's turning toward bids had indirect effects on CBEMC through negative interpretations in both men and women. The indirect effect of dyadic perspective-taking on CBEMC was significant only for men. Finally, considering total effects, dyadic perspective-taking was the strongest predictor of CBEMC for both genders.

The present study examined whether enjoyable couple activity and common dyadic coping as daily positive couple interactions have direct or indirect effects on marital satisfaction through the mediation of sexual intimacy among urban Chinese women in the early years of marriage. The subjects were 182 urban women born under the one-child policy, who live in Heilongjiang, Anhui and Beijing provinces of China, and have been married up to six years. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. We conducted a hierarchical multiple regression analysis in SPSS software and tested the significance of the mediation effects using bootstrapping method in Mplus software. The results of the study are as follows. First, both enjoyable couple activity and common dyadic coping had positive direct impacts on urban Chinese women's marital satisfaction and positive indirect impacts on marital satisfaction via sexual intimacy. Second, enjoyable couple activity was the strongest predictor of marital satisfaction, followed by common dyadic coping and sexual intimacy. The path model explained 48% of the variance in marital satisfaction. The results suggest that enjoyable couple activity, common dyadic coping, and sexual intimacy should be considered in the design of interventions to enhance urban Chinese women's marital satisfaction in the early years of marriage.

본 연구의 목적은 부부의 개인별 덕목이 결혼만족도에 미치는 효과와 부부 덕목이 결혼 만족도에 미치는 효과를 살펴보는 것이다. 개인별 덕목이란 개인이 지닌 가치 있고 바람직한 핵심 특성을 의미한다. 부부 덕목이란 부부가 함께 공유하는 덕목을 의미한다. 한국인 부부 107쌍(남 107명, 여 107명)이 연구에 참여하였다. 축약판 개인 덕목 척도(Values in Action-Inventory of Strengths: VIA-IS), 개인 덕목 척도를 바탕으로 연구자가 문항을 재기술한 부부 덕목 척도, 부부의 전반적인 결혼 만족을 측정하기 위해 한국판 결혼만족도 검사 중 전반적 불만족 척도(K-MSI, General Dissatisfaction Scale: GDS)를 역채점한 척도가 사용되었다. 부부의 자료가 상호의존적인 특수한 관계임을 감안, APIM(Actor-Parter Interdependence Model) (Cook & Kenny, 2005; Kenny, Kashy, Cook, & Simpson, 2006)을 적용하였고 이를 구조방정식 모형을 통해 분석하였다. 그 결과, 개인 덕목 대비 더 다양한 부부 덕목이 결혼만족도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로 부부가 덕목을 개인적으로 지니기보다는 함께 공유하는 것의 중요성을 논의하였다.

본 연구는 한국노동패널(KLIPS) 자료를 이용하여 최근(2000년 이후) 혼인을 경험한 가구를 대상으로 그들의 혼인기간 경과에 따른 이혼이행 가능성에 대해 살펴보았다. 혼인당시 부부의 상황이 이후 이혼에 이르기까지의 기간에 미치는 영향에 대해 면밀히 살펴보고자 하였다. 특히 가계의 재무상황 중, 상당한 심리적 부담으로 작용할 수 있는 '부채'에 초점을 두고 신혼부부의 이혼이행기간에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 혼인당시 남편과 아내의 연령 및 연령차이 그리고 교육수준 등이 향후 이혼으로의 이행 가능성과 통계적으로 유의미한 관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났으며 본 연구의 주된 관심사인 가구의 재무특성(주로 부채)와 관련해서는 많은 양의 부채가 향후 이혼의 가능성을 높이고 있음을 살필 수 있었다. 아울러 절대적 액수에서의 부채뿐만 아니라 가구의 소득에 대비한 부채의 높은 수준 또한 이혼의 가능성을 증가시키고 있음이 통계분석결과를 통해 제시되었다. 본 연구는 이혼의 증가라는 시대적 흐름 속에서 신혼부부를 대상으로 혼인기간 경과에 따른 그들의 이혼이행 가능성에 대해 살펴보았다. 무엇보다 대규모 통계자료를 이용해 분석결과의 일반화 가능성을 높이고 정책적 함의를 도출하고자 노력하였다는 점에서 그 의의를 찾을 수 있다. 이를 통해 신혼부부의 생애 주기 특성을 고려한 부채의 원인을 진단하고 맞춤형 지원정책의 필요성을 제시하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing quality of life of married immigrant women in Korea. Methods: The participants included 508 married immigrant women who met the eligibility criteria and agreed to participate in the study. Participants were evaluated for subjective assessment of married immigrant-related constructs using a self-report questionnaire, for self-esteem, self-efficacy, and quality of life (QOL). The analysis was done using SPSS for Windows, version 10.1, and included stepwise regression. Results: The major findings were as follows; 1) There were significant relationships between marital satisfaction (r=.39, $p$=.001), violence by the husband during the couple's arguments (r=-.24, $p$<.001), satisfaction with life in Korea (r=.39, $p$<.001), self-esteem (r=.16, $p$<.001), self-efficacy (r=.51, $p$<.001) and quality of life. 2) Marital satisfaction, self-efficacy, education level and satisfaction life with in Korea were significant factors, which explained 53% of the variance in quality of life (F=43.97, $p$<.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that a powerful predictor of QOL for married immigrant women was self-efficacy. Conclusion: Developing nursing interventions to enhance self-efficacy toward improvement of QOL among married immigrant women is recommended.
