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.

This study examined the nature of multi-cultural families' housing problems living in South Korea. A qualitative research was conducted through in-depth interviews with immigrant women from three Southeast Asian countries. The subjects of this study were 15 married immigrants from the Philippine, Cambodia, and Vietnam living in Seoul. The major findings were as follows: firstly, reciprocity for the in-between person and environment: the preferred to blend into Korean society instead of making a community based on national origin. Secondly, intention to housing: all participants were passive about moving and the Vietnamese and Cambodians placed more importance on the family community than the Filipinas. Thirdly, meaning of housing and interaction: for the most important area in the house, the Vietnamese and Cambodians stated that rooms were for a couple and treated family space more importantly than Filipinas who pursuit personal comfort. Fourthly, housing adaptation process: adapting to climate difference between home countries and Korea was the biggest difficulty. Fifthly, residential satisfaction/dissatisfaction: mostly satisfied with housing facilities; however, they were dissatisfied with the number of rooms and house size due to a necessity for personal space. In conclusion, ideas implied from native country of married immigrants in multicultural families did not change significantly in preference of the current environment. The needs for an ethnic community was not great, because they seemed able to assimilate positively by living with a Korean husband and relatives. Gradual assimilation through a cultural acculturation process can be considered desirable.

Our previous studies have demonstrated the inadequate nutritional status of Vietnamese female marriage immigrants in Korea. Major possible reasons include food insecurity due to economic problems as well as a lack of adjustment to unfamiliar Korean foods and limited access to Vietnamese foods; however, no study has investigated food insecurity among such intermarried couples. This study was performed to investigate the prevalence of food insecurity in Korean-husband-Vietnamese-wife couples and to determine whether they exhibit an intrahousehold discrepancy regarding food insecurity. A cross-sectional analysis of the Cohort of Intermarried Women in Korea study was performed with 84 intermarried couples. Among the 84 Vietnamese immigrants, 48.8% and 41.7% had food insecurity due to economic problems and a lack of foods appealing to their appetite, respectively. There was a marked discrepancy in reporting food insecurity between Vietnamese wives (22.6-38.1%) and their Korean husbands (6.0-15.5%). Vietnamese wives were five and two times more food-insecure due to economic problems and no foods appealing to their appetite, respectively, than their Korean spouses. A follow-up study is needed to investigate the causes of this discrepancy and ways of reducing food insecurity among female marriage immigrants living in low-income, rural communities.

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.

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.

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.

본 연구는 베트남출신 여성결혼이민자의 결혼만족감에 관한 연구로서, 여성의 인구사회학적 변인, 한국인 남편의 인구사회학적 변인, 여성의 긍정적 내적자질로서의 자아효능감, 남편과 지인으로부터 받는 사회적지지, 그리고 문화적응과 관련된 다양한 변인들을 중심으로 결혼만족감에 영향을 미치는 요인이 무엇인지를 검증하였다. 표집방법으로는 의도적 표집(purposive sampling)방법이 사용되었으며, 연구대상자는 서울, 경기 및 충청지역에 거주하는 베트남출신 여성결혼이민자 201명이었다. 4단계로 이루어진 위계적 다중회귀분석 결과 최종모델에서 결혼만족감에 영향을 미치는 변인은 남편의 연령(${\beta}=-.18$, p<.01), 사회적지지(${\beta}=.61$, p<.001), 문화적응 스트레스(${\beta}=-.24$, p<.001)로 나타나 남편의 연령이 젊을수록, 사회적 지지의 수준이 높을수록, 그리고 문화적응 스트레스를 적게 경험할수록 결혼만족감이 유의미하게 높아지는 것으로 검증되었다. 이상의 변인들의 결혼만족감에 대한 설명력은 58.6%로 높게 나타났으며, 베트남여성결혼이민자의 결혼만족감 증진을 위한 사회적 지원방안에 관해 제언하였다.
