Abstract

The main object of the study is to investigate factors affecting the suicide ideation. According to the socioemotional selectivity theory, because of limitation of life time, the family relationship is more important for elderly than young or middle aged group. Based on this theory authors hypothesizes that the familism may show negative relationship with suicide ideation only in elderly group. The data for the study comes from the survey titled understanding on the successful aging of Korean people conducted in 2008. The sample size of the survey is 1,000 and the survey was conducted by the face to face interview with the standardized questionnaire. According to the analysis, familism shows negative relationship with suicide ideation only in elderly group, not in young or middle adult group.

본 연구의 목적은 가족주의 가치관(familism)이 자살생각에 영향을 주는지 분석하는 것이다. 자살생각은 가족 간 갈등에 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 사회정서선택이론(socioemotional selectivity theory)에 의하면 가족관계는 청 장년층에 비해 노년층에서 더 중요한 것으로 이해되고 있다. 본 연구는 선행 연구를 바탕으로 가족주의 가치관과 자살생각과의 관계가 청 장년층에 비해 노년층에서 부각될 것으로 예측하였다. 본 연구에서는 2008년 실시된 한국인의 성공적 노년에 대한 조사 자료를 활용해 분석을 실시하였다. 이 조사는 2008년 제주도를 제외한 전국의 20세 이상 성인을 대상으로 실시되었다. 조사의 표본은 1,000명이며 표준화된 설문지를 활용한 일 대 일 면접조사를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 본 연구의 주요 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자살생각은 청 장년 집단과 노인 집단에서 상이한 요인에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 자살생각은 우울이나 스트레스 등 정신적 건강 요인에도 영향을 받는 것으로 확인되었다. 셋째, 노년층에서는 가족주의 가치관이 자살생각과 부적 관계를 보이고 있으나 청 장년층에서는 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타났다.
