This study examined the mediating effect of intimate partner violence (IPV) between alcohol use and relational satisfaction by the Actor Partner Interdependence Model (APIM). For this study, data were drawn from the 13^th-wave Korea Welfare Panel data and a total of 2,263 married couples were included in the analysis. SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 24 were used to analyze data and the Actor Partner Interdependence Mediation Model (APIMeM) examined the mediating effect. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, the actor effect and the partner effect on the relationship of alcohol use and partner violence were all verified to be positive effects. Second, the actor effect and the partner effect on the relationship of partner violence and relational satisfaction were all verified to be negative effects. Third, comparison of the actor effect and partner effect between the husband and wife showed that the partner effect in which alcohol use to partner violence was greater in the husband than in the wife. In addition, both the actor and partner effect of violent reducing their relational satisfaction were greater in wives than in husbands. The findings of this study suggest that IPV has a mediating role between couples' alcohol use and the relational satisfaction and husband's violent behavior has more negative effect on the quality of the relationship than the wife's violent behavior.

이 연구는 부부의 상호의존성을 고려하여 자기-상대방 상호의존 모형(the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model)으로 문화적 도전과 경제적 곤란이 다문화부부의 이혼의사에 미치는 자기효과와 상대방효과를 조사하고, 이 두 효과의 조합을 비율로 측정하여 양자관계의 패턴을 살펴보았다. 여성결혼이민자 부부표본 415쌍(n=830)의 자료로 APIM에 대한 경로분석을 실시한 결과, 한국인 남편의 문화적 도전에 대한 높은 인식은 자신과 배우자의 이혼의사에 미치는 자기효과와 상대방효과가 유의했고, 결혼이민자인 부인의 그런 인식은 자신의 이혼의사에 기여하는 자기효과만 유의했다. 반면 남편의 경제적 곤란 인식은 자신과 부인의 이혼의사에 미치는 효과가 미미했고, 여성결혼이민자에게 지각된 경제적 곤란은 자신과 배우자의 이혼의사에 미치는 자기효과와 상대방효과가 유의했다. 붓스트랩을 이용하여 APIM 효과들의 관계패턴을 검정한 결과, 남편의 이혼의사는 문화적 도전의 자기중심패턴이, 그리고 부인의 경우는 커플패턴이 지지되었다. 경제적 곤란은 효과크기의 비교로 남편과 부인의 이혼의사가 각각 상대방중심패턴과 자기중심패턴에 가까움을 유추할 수 있었다. 이 결과들은 한국인 남편이 배우자와의 문화차를 포용할 수 있는 문화적 역량을 키우고 여성결혼이민자가 경제적 자립에 대해 희망을 가질 수 있도록 이들과 가족의 경제적 역량을 강화하는 것이 부부의 화합과 다문화가족의 해체방지에 기여할 수 있음을 시사하여 끝으로 이를 논의하였다.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the actor and partner effects of health status, marital satisfaction, and self efficacy on retirement preparation in middle aged couples using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model. Methods: Participants were 121 middle aged couples living in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do and Daegu City, Korea. All measures were self-administered. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 20.0. Results: 1) Wife's self efficacy and marital satisfaction showed direct actor and partner effects on retirement preparation in middle aged couples. Wife's health status showed an indirect actor effect through wife's self efficacy and marital satisfaction on wife's retirement preparation, and showed an indirect partner effect through husband's self efficacy on husband's retirement preparation. 2) Husband's self efficacy and marital satisfaction showed only direct actor effect on retirement preparation. Health status among the husbands showed an indirect actor effect on husband's retirement preparation through their self efficacy and marital satisfaction, and an indirect partner effect through wife's marital satisfaction on wife's retirement preparation. 3) The actor effect size of health status on self efficacy and marital satisfaction was larger among husband's than wife's. Additionally, the partner effect size of health status on self efficacy and marital satisfaction was different between the two groups; however, the actor and partner effect size of self efficacy and marital satisfaction on retirement preparation was the same for husband and wife. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that nursing intervention strategies for improving self efficacy and marital satisfaction are strongly needed to enhance retirement preparation of middle aged couples in Korean community.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate actor and partner effects of sexual attitude and marital intimacy on sexual satisfaction in pregnant couples. Methods: Data were collected from 176 pairs of the pregnant couples visiting for prenatal care at hospitals from June 18 to September 24, 2016. The collected data were analyzed by paired t-test and Pearson's correlation coefficients using SPSS 18.0 and interdependent effect (Actor-Partner Interdependence Model analysis) through AMOS 18.0. Results: The sexual attitude and marital intimacy of the pregnant woman did not have a partner effect on the sexual satisfaction of her husband, respectively (${\beta}=.12$, p=.141), (${\beta}=.01$, p=.938). The sexual attitude of the husband had a partner effect on the sexual satisfaction of the pregnant woman (${\beta}=.13$, p=.021), but the marital intimacy of the husband did not show a partner effect (${\beta}=.07$, p=.202). Conclusion: Study suggests that the sexual attitude and marital intimacy of pregnant couples should be considered as factors when developing an intervention to improve sexual satisfaction in couples. Moreover, pregnant couples should participate in intervention together because the sexual satisfaction has conceptual view of interdependence in two-person relationships.

This study examined the effects of the actor and partner according to the activity immersion conflict perceived by rural multicultural couples in terms of the self-esteem and happiness using Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM). For this purpose, the data of 482 persons from 241 husband-immigrant women dyads were analyzed. As results of the analysis, only the effect of the actor among the actor and partner effect according to the activity immersion conflict affected the self-esteem significantly in both husband and immigrant women. Conflict, namely the actor and partner effect, affected the happiness in both the husband and immigrant women significantly. Second, the difference in the actor conflict level on activity immersion perceived by the couple according to the women's native country was significant in both husband and immigrant women. The level of actor conflict was highest in Vietnamese husbands and the Philippine women. On the other hand, the difference in the partner conflict level on the activity immersion according to the women's native country was significant only in the women, and the level of Vietnamese women was highest. Therefore, the characteristics in the level of actor and partner conflict on activity immersion was caused by the difference in the number of activity organizations participating between the husband and women. Based on the results, this study suggests some measures to reduce the conflict of couples through activity. In addition, some plans for a follow-up study using APIM are suggested.

The purpose of this study was to examine actor and partner effects among infertile couples in determining whether self-esteem affects the degree of infertility-related stress via perceived spousal support. The sample comprised 219 couples who experienced infertility, each of whom completed an online survey. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics, t-test, correlation analysis and APIM (Actor-Partner Interdependence Model) were performed using SPSS 25.0 and Mplus 7.3 program. The main results were as follows. First, the actor effect of spousal support on self-esteem was significant in both husbands and wives. Second, the actor effects of spousal support on infertility-related stress and self-esteem on infertility stress were significant only in husbands. Third, in the association between husbands' and wives' spousal support and infertility-related stress, three mediating pathways via husband's self-esteem were found to be significant. Based on these results, the necessity for a couple-level analysis in infertility research, psycho-emotional interventions for infertile couples, and implications for follow-up studies were discussed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the actor and partner effects of self efficacy, marital adjustment and family support on Yangseang in infertile couples using the actor-partner interdependence model. Methods: The participants were 108 infertile couples. Data were collected using the Yangsaeng Scale, Infertility Self Efficacy Scale, Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale, and Perceived Social Support Scale from March to April in 2016. The Actor-Partner Interdependence Model was used to analyze the actor and partner effects of self-efficacy, marital adjustment and family support on Yangsaeng. Results: The fit indices for the model were Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = 0.99, Normed Fit Index (NFI) = 0.99, Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) = 0.90, and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) = 0.01, which met the criteria. We found that only self efficacy had an actor effect on Yangsaeng. Marital adjustment and family support of infertile husbands had an actor effect on the Yangsaeng. In addition, marital adjustment showed an interaction effect. Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that the level of Yangseang in infertile couples was positively associated with the levels of self efficacy and martial adjustment. Partner effects may be hidden due to much stronger actor effects on Yangseang.

이 연구는 다문화 가정의 어머니와 아버지의 성 역할태도가 부모-자녀관계의 질에 미치는 자기효과와 상대방효과를 살펴보기 위한 서술적 인과관계 연구이다. 본 연구에서는 다문화 가정 부모의 커플자료 분석을 위해 여성가족부의 2015년 전국다문화가족실태조사 대상 중 만 5세 이하 자녀를 두고, 결혼이주여성과 한국인 남성으로 구성된 5,531쌍의 자료를 활용하였다. 자료 분석을 위해 SPSS 20.0과 AMOS 20.0 통계프로그램을 사용하였으며, 구조모형 검증 방법에 기초한 자기-상대방 상호의존모형(Actor-Partner Interdependence Model, APIM) 분석방법을 활용하였다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 어머니와 아버지 모두 성 역할태도가 부모-자녀관계에 미치는 자기효과가 확인되었다. 즉, 어머니와 아버지 모두 평등한 성 역할태도를 가질수록 긍정적인 부모-자녀관계를 형성하는 것으로 나타났다. 자기효과 간 크기 비교 결과, 어머니보다는 아버지의 경우 성 역할 태도가 부모-자녀관계에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 아버지의 성 역할태도는 어머니-자녀관계에 영향을 미치는 상대방효과가 있는 반면, 어머니의 성 역할태도가 아버지-자녀관계에 미치는 상대방효과는 통계적인 유의성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 어머니와 아버지 모두 상대방효과 보다는 자기효과가 더 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 배우자의 성 역할태도 보다는 자신의 성 역할태도가 부모-자녀관계에 더 큰 영향을 미침을 의미한다. 본 연구 결과는 다문화 가정의 부모를 대상으로 한 부모 교육 시 평등한 성 역할태도 교육의 중요성을 시사한다. 특히 본 연구는 아버지의 경우에도 평등한 성 역할태도가 긍정적 자녀관계를 촉진할 수 있다는 경험과학적 증거를 확인했다는 의의가 있다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine whether the maternal and paternal value of children mediates the relationship between the marital relationship satisfaction and the parental sense of competence in the longitudinal dyadic approach. Method: The data were obtained from the Panel Study on Korean Children (PSKC) conducted by the Korea Institute of Child Care and Education. Using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model（APIM), the author analyzed three waves (from 5th to 7th year) of the data, and the sample size was 1,773. The average age was 34.79 for mothers, and 37.26 for fathers. Their average length of marriage was 95.3 months, and their children were 51.03 months old on average. Results: The marital relationship satisfaction influenced the parental sense of competence with both the actor effect and the partner effect of mothers and fathers. The marital relationship satisfaction also influenced the value of children, with the actor effect from both mothers and fathers and with the partner effect only from mothers. The value of children influenced the parental sense of competence with the actor effect only from mothers and fathers. Also, the value of children mediated the relationship between the marital relationship satisfaction and the parental sense of competence with the actor effect from both mothers and fathers. For the partner effect, only the mediation path from fathers' marital relationship satisfaction to mothers' value of children to mothers' parental sense of competence was significant. Conclusions: These results suggest the importance of highlighting the marital relationship satisfaction and the value of children to improve the parental sense of competence.
