This study investigates the effect of in-law relationship on the marital adjustment of married couples by considering family-oriented Korean culture. Previous in-law studies did not consider the influence of another party who did not attend the survey due to sampling limitations. However, the marital adjustment of married couple and the satisfaction of the relationship with parents-in-law are two-way relationships that affect each other and are not one-sided relationships. By considering the non-independence of the couple's data, Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) was utilized to examine the structural relationship between marital adjustment (marital satisfaction and marital stability) and in-law relationship quality (relationship satisfaction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for wives, relationship satisfaction between mother-in-law and son-in-law for husbands) of 203 married couples. Results indicated that a high satisfaction of wives' in-law relationship increased personal marital adjustment as well as husbands' marital adjustment. The husbands' positive relationship with in-laws also increased personal marital adjustment and their wives' marital adjustment. The results of this study can be used as basic data for program development and counseling for healthy in-law relationship as well as educational data for couples intending to marry.

본 연구의 목적은 자녀 출생 이후 5년 동안의 부모의 결혼만족도 변화 궤적에 기초한 잠재계층이 어떤 형태로 존재하는지 확인하고, 잠재계층에 따라 자녀의 문제행동(만 5세, 만 6세, 초1, 초3 시기)에 차이가 있는지 확인하는 것이다. 이를 위해 한국아동패널의 1차(2008년)~8차(2015년), 10차(2017) 자료를 활용하여 잠재계층성장분석, BCH 방법(BCH method) 분석을 하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 어머니의 결혼만족도 변화 양상은 '최저수준 유지형 집단', '중간수준 유지형 집단', '일시 증가-지속 감소형 집단', '상수준 유지형 집단', '최상수준 유지형 집단', 아버지의 결혼만족도 변화 양상은 '상승형 집단', '중간 수준-소폭 감소형 집단', '상 수준-소폭 감소형 집단' '최상수준 유지형 집단'으로 구분되었다. 둘째, 어머니의 결혼만족도 잠재계층에 따라 만 5세-만 6세, 초1에서 최저수준 유지형, 중간수준 유지형 집단이 최상수준 유지형 집단보다 내재화 문제행동 수준이 더 높은 경향성이 확인되었으며, 만 5세-만 6세, 초1, 초3에서 대체로 최저수준 유지형, 중간수준 유지형, 일시 증가-지속 감소형 집단이 최상수준 유지형 집단보다 외현화 문제행동 수준이 높은 경향성이 확인되었다. 아버지의 결혼만족도 잠재계층에 따라 만 5세-만 6세, 초1, 초3에서 내재화, 외현화 문제행동에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 대체로 중간 수준-소폭 감소형 집단이 상 수준-소폭 감소형, 최상수준 유지형 집단보다 자녀의 문제행동 수준이 높은 경향성이 확인되었다. 본 연구는 자녀 출생 이후 5년 동안의 부모의 결혼만족도가 자녀의 문제행동(만 5세, 만 6세, 초1, 초3 시기)에 영향을 미치는 중요 변인임을 시사한다.
