This study aimed to examine the relationship between sexual communication and marital quality. Study data were collected from structured questionnaires completed by 695 married men and women aged in their 30s and 40s. The major results were as follows. For the interaction coordination and postsexual interaction, there were significant differences between men and women, in that men had more interaction coordination and postsexual interaction than women. The results show the stereotype of sexuality in Korean society that men should be more active, and assertive while women should be passive and dependent. For both men and women, those who had more dyadic sexual communication, more interaction coordination, and more postsexual interaction had a higher level of marital quality. That is, sexual communication can function significantly in increasing marital quality. The study results suggest the necessity of training to improve sexual communication skills. For example, in educational programs for couple enrichment, it will be useful to include skills such as expressing ones' desire, affect, and feelings explicitly.

본 연구의 목적은 가족의 기본이 되는 부부관계에 초점을 맞추어 부부관계와 부모자녀 관계 사이의 연관성을 알아보고자 1987년 7월부터 9월사이에 소아 정신과에서 치료받은 환아의 부모들과 일반 아동이 부모들을 대상으로 결혼 만족도 검사(Marital Satisfaction Inventory ; MSI)와 부부 적응도 척도(Dvadic Adjustment Scale ; DAS)의 두가지 설문지를 이용하였다. 환아 부모군은 환아의 진단면에 따라 정신증, 신경증, 틱, 자폐증, 정신지연의 5군으로 분류하였고 각군의 결과가 평가되었다. 1) 환아부모군은 대조군보다 결혼만족도가 낮다. 2) 환아부모군은 대조군보다 부부 적응도가 유의하게 낮다(P<0.01). 3) 환아부모군, 대조군에서 여자가 남자보다 역할개념이 더 진보적이며 환아부모군에서 역할부담이 여자에게 편중됨으로써, 양육갈등(conflict in child rearing)은 모성 우월현상과 연관됨을 시사한다. 4) 원래 가족의 고통스러운 가족력(Family History of Distress)는 결혼의 정서적 의사소통, 성생활, 자녀양육과 연관이 깊다. 5) 결혼 만족도 검사(Marital Satisfaction Inventory ; MSI)의 전반적 고통 척도(Global Distress Scale ; GDS)에 의하면 정신증, 신경증, 자폐증, 정신지체, 틱의 순서로 불만족도를 보였다. 6) 부부 적응도 척도(Dvadic Adjustment Scale ; DAS)에 의하면 정신증, 신경증, 틱, 자폐증, 정신지체의 순서로 부적응도를 보였다. 7) 틱군은 자녀양육 갈등 및 양육태도에 문제점을 시사하였고 부부관계 자체는 유의한 장애를 보이지 않았다. 위의 결과로서 부부의 부적응 및 불만족은 자녀양육 및 자녀문제와 밀접한 연관성이 있음을 시사하며 소아의 정신증과 신경증군의 발병요인은 결혼 불만족과 부적응과 관련이 깊으며 자폐증이나 정신지연군의 발병요인은 결혼 불만족과 부적응과 관련이 깊지 않음을 시사한다.
