본 연구는 자녀와의 애착유형에 따라 가족관계가 성공적 노화에 미치는 영향에 관하여 인과적 경로모형을 설정하고 이를 검증하였다. 연구대상자는 60세 이상의 노인 509명이다. 애착유형별 연구모형의 적합도 및 경로계수, 매개효과를 살펴본 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 안정형은 연구모형의 적합도가 다소 낮았으며 성공적 노화에 대하여 배우자, 자녀, 손자녀와의 관계 모두 유의미하지 않았다. 둘째, 몰두형은 배우자 및 손자녀와의 관계가 성공적 노화에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 배우자와의 관계는 자녀와의 관계에 그리고 자녀와의 관계는 손자녀와의 관계에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 손자녀와의 관계는 자녀와의 관계가 성공적 노화에 미치는 영향을 완전매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 거부형은 배우자 및 손자녀와의 관계가 성공적 노화에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 자녀와의 관계는 손자녀와의 관계에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 손자녀와의 관계는 자녀와의 관계가 성공적 노화에 미치는 영향을 완전매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 두려움형은 성공적 노화에 대하여 배우자 및 자녀와의 관계가 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 배우자와의 관계는 자녀와의 관계에 영향을 미치고 자녀와의 관계는 손자녀와의 관계에 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 자녀와의 관계는 배우자와의 관계가 성공적 노화에 미치는 영향을 부분매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 애착유형별 연구모형은 각 유형별 차이뿐만 아니라 전체집단 모형과도 차이가 나타났는데, 이러한 결과는 성공적 노화에 관한 가족관계 변인을 연구함에 있어 노인의 애착을 고려하는 것이 유용함을 시사한다 하겠다.

This study showed that the association between grandmother-mother relationship and grandmother-grandchildren ties is mediated by the coparenting. Participants consisted of 329 grandmothers who were rearing preschool aged grandchildren in the Seoul and Gyeonggido area. SPSS 23.0 performed descriptive statistical analysis and correlation analysis. The structural equation model was estimated with AMOS 23.0. Parameters were estimated using the maximum likelihood method. Model fit index used the chi-square statistic, the goodness of fit index (GFI), the Turker-Lewis index (TLI), the comparative fit index (CFI), the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA). The mediation effect analysis followed a two-step verification process; direct and indirect effect. In addition, statistical significance of the indirect effect was examined using a bootstrapping procedure. The results are as follows. First, a positive correlation was found between the grandmother-mother relationship, grandmother-grandchildren ties, and coparenting. Second, the association between grandmother-mother relationship and grandmother-grandchildren ties is mediated by coparenting. The results of this study suggest that the quality of the grandmother's relationship with mothers and cooperative coparenting is important to building relationships with grandchildren. In addition, coparenting can be an important mechanism for grandmother-mother relationships and grandmother-grandchild ties. Based on the results of this study, we discussed ways to improve the grandmothers' relationship quality with the mother and strengthen parenting ability.

Using ethnographic methods, this study identifies the meaning of paternal experiences through a series of individual one to two hour interviews with men who have grandchildren. The interviewees consisted of twelve fathers from fifty to seventy years of age and the middle SES class. The results were as follows. First, adult-children-marriage and parent transitions were found to be important changes for men on their father's perception of their role as a father. Second, fathers with grandchildren felt happiness due to their grandchildren and held grandchildren as being important. Third, protecting and supporting their families was the main focus of paternity. Forth, the period of paternal experiences with grandchildren can be called "the stage of strong grandfather identity" because men who have grandchildren put more importance in the relationship with grandchildren than do their own adult-children, and grandchildren themselves play an important role in establishing male identity.

This study was conducted in order to understand grandmothers' intent of caring for working mothers' children and the influence of related variables with regard to living arrangements. The data was collected from 245 grandmothers who have been caring for their grandchildren for more than 6 months. The data was analyzed by mean, t-test, x2-test, and logistic regression analysis. The results were as follows: first, as to whether the grandmothers were willing to take care of their grandchildren again, 56.5% answered "yes", while 43.5% were not willing to do so. Those who were not living together with their grandchildren were more likely to answer positively. Second, it was found upon analysis that the significant variables of the experience differed according to grandmothers' residential status. In the case of co-residing grandmothers, the significant variables were the number and age of the grandchildren, their relationship, satisfaction, and feeling of burden, while only satisfaction was significant in non-co-residing grandmothers' cases. This implies that the more satisfaction the non-co-residing grandmothers experience, the more likely they are willing to take care of their grandchildren again. As for the co-residing grandmothers, it implies that the characteristics of the grandchildren, satisfaction, and feeling of burden, all influence their caregiving intent for the next time.
