본 연구의 목적은 코로나-19 팬데믹이라는 위기로 인해 증가하고 있는 커플 관계에서의 갈등을 다루기 위해 비대면 정서도식 커플 집단상담 프로그램을 개발하고 미혼 커플의 정서인지 및 정서조절 향상에 미치는 효과를 검증하는 데 있다. 연구절차는 프로그램 개발 절차와 프로그램 효과성 검증 절차로 이루어졌고, 구체적으로 8단계의 프로그램 개발과정을 바탕으로 프로그램을 개발하였다. 연구대상은 미혼 커플 11쌍(22명)으로 총 4개의 집단으로 구성되었으며, 주 1회(2회기)씩 총 5주(10회기) 동안 진행되었다. 프로그램의 효과성 검증은 양적 분석과 질적 분석을 통해 실시하였다. 양적 분석 결과, 참여자들의 이성관계 만족도가 유의미하게 향상되고, 커플들의 관계정서도식에 유의한 변화가 있음을 확인하였다. 참여자들의 프로그램 소감문에 대한 질적 분석한 결과, 참여자들의 정서이해가 향상되고, 커플관계가 개선되었으며, 커플 집단상담만의 집단효과가 있었다. 끝으로, 본 연구의 의의 및 제한점을 제시하였다.
