The purpose of this study was to explore ethnic socialization enacted by Japanese marriage migrant women currently raising 7- to 18-year-old children in Korea. To accomplish this goal, we examined the following research questions: (1) What is the level of ethnic socialization enacted by Japanese marriage migrant mothers? (2) Does the level of ethnic socialization vary by demographic and ethnocultural factors? (3) To what extent do demographic and ethnocultural factors influence the enactment of ethnic socialization by Japanese marriage migrant mothers? The sample consisted of 243 Japanese marriage migrant women currently raising 7- to 18-year-old children in Korea. For data analysis, T-test, correlation, ANOVA, and hierarchical regression analyses were used. Also, we performed separate analyses for two subtypes of ethnic socialization in particular, namely cultural socialization and preparation for bias. Ethnocultural factors examined in this study were the level of discrimination experience, Japanese ethnic identity, and husbands' ethnic orientation in childrearing. The main results of this study were as follows. First, results showed that Japanese marriage migrant women enacted moderate levels of cultural socialization and preparation for bias. Second, Japanese marriage migrant women's cultural socialization and preparation for bias were both positively related to the levels of women's discrimination experience and Japanese ethnic identity. Also, the younger the age of the firstborn child, the more preparation for bias these women performed. In addition, women whose Korean husbands wanted to raise their children more biculturally performed more cultural socialization compared to those with Korean husbands who wanted to raise their children as Korean. Third, hierarchical regression analyses revealed that women's discrimination experience and ethnic identity positively predicted both types of ethnic socialization. Also, Korean husband's bicultural orientation towards childrearing predicted a higher level of cultural socialization by Japanese marriage migrant women. Results of this study provide basic information about ethnic socialization among multicultural families in Korea, which can be useful for promoting positive self-identity among multicultural children. Furthermore, the results suggest that husbands' support and cooperation in ethnic socialization can be crucial for marriage migrant women to socialize their children utilizing their cultural and experiential resources.

본 연구에서는 중·고등학생 자녀를 양육하고 있는 결혼이주여성을 대상으로 자녀양육에서 나타나는 스트레스 발생요인과 이에 따른 대처방안이 무엇인지 알아보고자 한다. 이를 위해 서울·경기지역에서 중·고등학생 자녀를 양육하고 있는 결혼이주여성 7명을 대상으로 심층인터뷰를 실시하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 결혼이주여성들의 스트레스 발생요인에는 개인요인, 가정요인, 사회적요인 그리고 문화적응요인이 있었다. 둘째, 스트레스 발생요인별 대처방안을 살펴보면 그들은 개인요인의 자기효능감에서 문제중심적인 대처를 하지만, 부모역할관에 있어서는 정서중심적인 대처를 하고 있었다. 또한 가정요인인 자녀의 활동성과 사회성은 자녀들의 학교생활적응과 엄마의 양육스트레스에 많은 영향을 주며 상황에 따라 각각 다른 대처방안을 나타냈다. 사회적 요인에 있어서 그들은 시댁의 사적 지지체계를 적극 활용하는 등의 문제중심적 대처방안을 사용하였고, 친정을 통해 정서적 위로를 받는 등 정서중심적 대처방안을 사용하였다. 그리고 문화적응요인인 주변의 시선이나 편견에 대해서는 회피, 무시, 망각 등을 드러냈고 이러한 요인에 대해서는 정서중심적인 대처를 하고 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to determine the characteristics of Filipino marriage immigrants' acculturation stages in regards to their Korean family life culture and to identify the source of the support for each stage, hence to provide information for educational programs that would promote successful acculturation for each stage. The following findings have been obtained through in-depth interviews with 18 female Filipino immigrants to Korea. In a range of obstacles from the Honeymoon Stage to the Confusion stage, the first are the language and the aspects of the food/cooking/ingredients/diet that are different from their own culture. Especially, pregnancy/childbirth is a major change in one's life and the biggest challenge in the acculturation process. As food and cooking are the first change that the immigrants have to face and get accustomed to in the early stage of their Korean life, the food culture is rather easier for the immigrants to get accustomed to than other parts of Korean life. From the Honeymoon Stage to the Harmony Stage, the immigrants make efforts to help their family in the home, while they look to their future in their children during the Autonomy Stage. Regardless of how long they have been in Korea, from the Honeymoon Stage to the Autonomy Stage, the immigrants have a hard time with the patriarchal environment in Korea due to the bilateral nature of kinship in the Philippines. Secondly, the immigrants receive the most support from their husband, family, and the tutors in Korean culture, while their mothers-in-law are the main source of the support for the Korean diet. At the Confusion Stage, the immigrants start visiting the regional multicultural family support centers and get help from the friends they meet there while depending on the TV for cooking tips. From the Harmony Stage, they may seek a job through the community network with their own effort and their children's help. In the Autonomy Stage, they are concerned about their children rather than their own parents, and they find their own identity as a Korean and realize that their effort is important.

농촌의 인구활력화, 지역경제 활성화, 농촌의 문화다양성, 농촌 가족사회의 유지, 그리고 농촌자원의 향상과 같은 다문화가족이 농촌사회에 미치는 영향 및 기여가치에 대한 WTP(Willingness to Pay)를 추정하기 위해, 농촌지역 41개 시 군에서 weibull model에 기초한 이중이선선택법으로 조사가 이루어졌다. 이어 추정모형을 개발하고 로지스틱(logistic)을 이용해 WTP를 추정하였다. 추정결과, 다문화가족의 기여가치 유지를 위해 농촌지역민이 평가한 WTP는 458억원이었고, 이것은 개개 농촌가구가 연간 13,840원을 지불할 수 있음을 의미한다. 비교준거로서 다문화가족 남편이 평가한 WTP는 502억원 이었고 이것은 개개 농촌가구가 연간 15,170원을 지불할 수 있음을 의미한다.

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.
