This study examined the effect of resilience on the adjustment of retired husbands and their wives. Data was collected from 174 retired husbands and their wives in the Seoul metropolitan area. Collected data were analyzed by mean score, percentile, paired-t tests and regression analyses. The major findings were as follows : 1. There was no significant difference in the adjustments between retired husbands and their wives. 2. Individual resilience, family resilience and social resilience had a strong impact on the adjustment of retired husbands and their wives. Self-esteem, acceptance of retirement, communication between the couple, family cohesion, and retirement policy had a significantly positive impact on the husbands' adjustment. 3. As for the adjustment of the wives, self-esteem, communication between the couple, family cohesion, acceptance of husbands' retirement and religious activity had a significantly positive impact. In summary, this study shows the importance of resilience in the adjustment of retired husbands and their wives.

This study analyzes the impacts of household work participation and shared activities between couples on marital relationship and depression among retired men and women with retired husbands. To investigate this, a survey of 367 married people is conducted on retired men and women with retired husbands. The influencing factors on the marital relationship of retired men are found to be couples' shared activities, gender role attitudes, and subjective health status. The marital relationship of women with retired husbands is influenced by shared activities by couples, the division of domestic labor, and gender role attitudes. The factors affecting retired men's depression are shared activities by couples, perceived health status, type of jobs before retirement, and age. Women's depression is related to household income, shared activities by couples, husbands' jobs before retirement, subjective health status, and division of household labor.

This study was to examine the effects of economic, social, psychological, and marital resources on the relationship between retirement related stress and life satisfaction among the retired husbands and their wives. Economic resources included actual income, the amount of reduced income after retirement, and perceived adequacy of income, while social resources consisted of the supports from children, relatives, friends and neighbors. Psychological resources constituted sense of mastery and marital resource was measured by the emotional supports from the spouse. Data from 178 couples in Seoul revealed that retirees and their spouse perceived retirement as a very stressful extent, with husbands viewing their retirement as more stressful than their wives. The retirement related stress was found to be the most significant predictor on the life satisfaction of the couples. For retired husbands, life satisfaction was closely associated to sense of mastery and supports from children and relatives. The health status, perceived adequacy of income, sense of mastery, and supports from children and relatives were related to life satisfaction for wives. Therefore, the effects of personal resources on life satisfaction were smarter than that of retirement related stress for both retired husbands and their wives. Along with discussions, implications for retirement education and suggestions for future study are provided.

This study examined the retirement adaptation process for middle-aged and elderly couples. Twelve couples who had experienced retirement were recruited by theoretical sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed through the grounded theory approach of Strauss and Corbin (1998). This study showed the results of 124 concepts, 41 sub-categories and 17 categories indicated through an open coding process. As a paradigm in axial coding, the causal conditions in the adjustment procedures of elderly couples whose spouses are retired were 'retirement preparation,' 'retirement acceptance,' and 'marital satisfaction.' A central phenomenon was 'crisis and conflicts of twilight couples.' The contextual conditions that correspond to this phenomenon were 'psychological separation from adult children,' 'division of household labor,' and 'economic status.' The action/interaction strategies to control the phenomenon were 'recognition of marital relationships,' 'conflicts coping,' 'resolution methods,' and 'self-reflection.' The intervening conditions that facilitate action/interaction strategies were 'attitudes of husbands,' 'mutual awareness of couple,' 'health status,' and 'support systems.' The consequences were 'readaptation of marital relationships,' and 'unresolved conflicts,' and 'trying alone.' This research classified middle-aged and elderly couples' adaptation into three types such as mutual effort, separation & resignation, and conflicts vestige. The findings provide basic information to develop a retirement adaptation program for the middle-aged and elderly.

본 연구는 남편과 아내의 은퇴가 상호의존적임을 파악한 연구로, 대다수가 비자발적으로 은퇴하는 경향을 고려하여 배우자의 자발적 은퇴와 비자발적 은퇴가 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 한국고령화연구패널 4차년도 응답자 중 노동경험이 있는 75세 이하의 부부 1,038쌍(2,076명)을 대상으로 프로빗분석과 다변량프로빗분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 아내의 은퇴는 남편의 은퇴 결정에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 드러났다. 배우자의 비자발적 은퇴 역시 유의미한 영향요인으로 나타났는데, 60세 미만 집단에서 남편의 비자발적인 은퇴는 아내의 은퇴에 정적 영향을 미치나, 아내의 비자발적인 은퇴는 남편의 은퇴에 부적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 아내의 노동시장 지위가 남편에 종속되는 비율이 높고, 아내가 남편에 비하여 배우자의 건강문제로 은퇴하는 비율이 더 높은 기술통계와 맥을 같이 한다. 본 연구는 기존연구에서 다뤄지지 않은 부부의 상호의존적 영향을 확인하여, 향후 은퇴 연구와 고령자 노동정책에 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 은퇴 후 부부를 대상으로 여가활동 경험, 생성감, 자아통합감, 생활만족 간의 관계에서 구조적 관계를 밝히고 생성감과 자아통합감의 매개효과를 검증하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 연구방법은 SPSS for window 21.0프로그램과 AMOS 18.0을 이용하여 먼저 변인들 간의 관계를 알아보기 위하여 주요 변인들 간 상관분석을 실시하였다. 다음으로, 확인적 요인분석과 가설모형의 적합도를 확인하였다. 마지막으로 간접효과의 유의성을 검증하기 위하여 부트스트래핑 절차를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 도출된 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 여가활동 경험과 생활만족, 생성감, 자아통합감은 각각 정적 상관을 나타내었다. 둘째, 연구모형에서 은퇴 후 부부의 여가활동 경험과 생활만족에서 생성감 및 자아통합감이 이중매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났고 은퇴 후 부부의 생활만족에 영향을 주는 직접효과보다 생성감과 자아통합감의 매개를 통해 생활만족에 영향을 주는 간접효과가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 은퇴 후 부부를 같이 조사한 것이 아니라 은퇴 경험이 있는 당사자나 은퇴한 남편을 둔 부인을 대상으로 자료를 수집함에 있어 한계가 있다. 이에 부부와 각자의 배우자가 생활만족을 느끼는 데 차이가 있고 이에 따른 변인 간의 경로 간 유의성에도 차이를 보일 수 있어 후속연구에서는 아내와 남편으로 해서 분석할 필요성이 있다.
