Abstract

This study was carried out to analyse the differences in the attitudes toward the elderly according to the characteristics of women immigrants, and identify the variables to predict the attitudes toward the elderly. The participants were 592 women immigrants sampled from six cities and one county. The major results of the study were as follows. Firstly, there were significant differences in the attitudes toward the elderly depending on age, residential area, spouse's educational level, family income, hope to support homeland's parents, and contact with homeland's family. Secondly, the characteristics related with Korean family explained the largest portion of the attitudes toward the elderly, and predictors of the attitudes were age, residential area, family income, and hope to support homeland's parents.

이 연구는 592명의 여성결혼이민자를 대상으로 이들의 개인적, 한국 가족 및 모국 가족 특성에 따른 노인에 대한 태도와 이를 예측하는 변인을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구는 2010년에 진행하였으며, 조사도구는 Sanders 등의 노인에 대한 태도 척도를 사용하였고, 분석은 평균비교와 위계적 회귀분석을 주로 사용하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 여성결혼 이민자의 노인에 대한 태도는 연령, 거주지, 배우자의 교육수준, 가정소득, 모국 부모 부양 희망 및 모국 가족과의 연락 정도에 따라 차이가 있었다. 둘째, 위계적 회귀분석 결과 노인에 대한 태도의 설명력은 한국 가족 특성이 가장 높았으며, 예측변인은 연령, 거주지, 가정 소득, 모국 부모 부양 희망으로 나타났고, 그 중에서 가정소득이 가장 영향력 있는 변인으로 나타났다.
