This study examined the predictors of life satisfaction of marriage migrant wives with school-aged children in South Korea. For this purpose, we draw data from the 2015 National Survey on Multi-cultural Families (NSMF). The target group was marriage migrant wives who were in a first marriage and had school-aged children (N=3,004). We used OLS regression to examine the predictors of the target group's life satisfaction with the SPSS 18.0 program. The results are as follows. First, marriage migrant wives with school-aged children had maintained their marriage for at least 14 years. They were satisfied with their relationships with both their spouses and their children. Also, they were satisfied with their spouse's child care roles. They did not support the multi-cultural policy of assimilation. Their Korean proficiency was slightly higher than the middle level. More than half had jobs and had not attended a parent meeting. Second, although they were satisfied with their everyday lives, their levels of life satisfaction were less than that of migrant wives with children below 5 years of age. Third, all variables explained 38.8% of the life satisfaction experienced by marriage migrant wives with school-aged children. Satisfaction with their spouses, subjective health, satisfaction of spouse's child care role, monthly family income, satisfaction with their children, experience attending a parents meeting, and Korean proficiency were positively associated with the life satisfaction of this target group. The findings of this study are significant because they can provide certain implications for family life education and policy within a multi-cultural society.

The pourpose of this study is to determine the exact size which can be the basic elements of the fashion design with the measurement of middle-aged women's body, and to grasp the peculiar tomato type of the middle-aged women by compacting each measurement and examing the change of body shape. Making 215 house wives about 40 to 55 years old the subject of this research, we measured the body size from June to August, 1994. After analyzing the data through the 43 item.; of the body measurement, grasping the characteristics of the tomato type, we classified three types of physical standard and looked into the element of body structure. The results were as follows; 1. The average Rohrer index of middle-aged women in Tas-gu is about 1.5 and they usually seem to be fat compared with other groups. 2. Age has much influence on the body change of middle-aged women. Especially around 45 years old, the body change showed remarkable. 3. When analyzing the elements of the body measurement, the biggest elements of middle -aged women's body structure are in the items of width, thickness and girth related to the expansion of body line. Therefore in the middle age, the thickness and the girth have more influence on the human body than the height and the length, so the items of thickness and girth is the most important factor in the somato type. 4. In the slim body and standard body, the thirst factor is the items of height and length related to vertical size and the second is the items of width and thickness and girth. In ice fat body the first factor is the items of width, thickness, girth and the second is those of height, length. Unlike other body shapes, the fat body has many factors, which shows that the fat body has much variation in each part in proportion to fatness.

This study aimed to examine the actor and partner effects of marital satisfaction on life satisfaction in middle-aged and older couples via their health behavior and health. The study participants included a total of 2,108 couples, aged 57 and over, from the eighth wave of data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA). The marital satisfaction, health behavior, health, and life satisfaction of the husbands and wives were measured to conduct the analysis. This analysis was conducted based on the Actor-Partner Interdependence Mediation Model (APIMeM) with the bootstrapping technique being used as the mediating effect. The results indicated that there were significant actor and partner direct and indirect effects when it comes to the relationship between the participants' marital satisfaction and their own life satisfaction, mediated by health behavior and health. However, no significant influences regarding the health of the participants on the life satisfaction of their spouses were found. These results suggest that it is important for middle-aged and older couples to improve their marital relationships in order to promote the health and life satisfaction of both parties. Doing so will help husbands and wives lead healthier lifestyles based on their positive relationships.

본 연구는 45세 이상 중노년기 부부를 대상으로 부부의 운동참여가 악력의 종단적 변화 궤적을 매개로 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향을 남편과 아내의 상호의존성에 기반하여 탐색하고자 한다. 이를 위해 전국단위의 자료수집을 실시한 한국고령화연구패널의 1차(2006년)에서 6차(2016년)까지의 종단자료를 활용하였다. 연구대상은 1차년도에 45세 이상인 중노년기 부부 1,997쌍이다. 본 연구의 종속변수는 남편과 아내 각각의 삶의 만족도이며, 매개변수는 남편과 아내 각각의 악력의 초기값과 변화량, 독립변수는 부부의 운동참여이다. 분석과정은 상관분석, 평행잠재성장모형의 기초모형과 연구모형 분석, 매개경로에 관한 간접효과 검증의 세 단계로 진행되었다. 상관분석 결과 중노년기 부부인 남편과 아내는 동일 시점에서의 악력, 삶의 만족도와 관련하여 유의한 상관성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 평행잠재성장모형의 기초모8형 분석결과에 따르면 시간이 흐름에 따라 평균적으로 중노년기 남편과 아내의 악력이 감소하는 경향이 있는데, 악력의 초기값에 대해서는 부부인 남편과 아내의 상관성이 발견되었지만 악력의 종단적 변화량에 대해서는 상관성이 발견되지 않았다. 연구모형 분석결과에서 발견된 유의한 직접효과들을 토대로 매개경로에 관한 간접효과 검증을 실시한 결과, 부부의 운동참여가 남편의 악력 초기값을 매개로 남편의 삶의 만족도와 아내의 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 두 개의 종단적 경로가 통계적으로 유의하였다. 이와 더불어 남편만 운동에 참여하는 것 역시 남편의 악력 초기값을 매개로 아내의 삶의 만족도에 간접적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 본 연구결과는 중노년기 부부의 노화 과정이 부부의 젠더관계와 상호의존성 맥락에서 이해될 필요가 있다는 것과 중노년기 부부의 운동참여를 증진시키고, 신체적 기능 감퇴를 예방하여 삶의 질을 증진하기 위해서는 부부단위의 접근이 필요하다는 것을 시사한다.
