Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a husband forgiveness program for middle-aged wives in a form of group counseling and analyze effects of the program. The Husband Forgiveness Group Counseling Program was reconstructed from Enright`s program to provide psychological growth and personal inner healing for a female spouse who was unfairly hurt and conflict raised in a marital relationship. Quantitative analysis measures were used to verify the effects of the husband forgiveness group counseling program on middle-aged wives. Right after this four-weeks program, the participants showed increased cognitive forgiveness and accordingly, enhanced marital satisfaction. While the effects of anger relief in the program were minimal, the follow-up study carried out over the next four-months period showed meaningful results in diminishing anger. Therefore, it was proven that when conducted constantly, the forgiveness group counseling program could be highly effective.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand the life histories of divorced single mothers and their adaption to the life as a single mother using the life history method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with eight divorced single mothers aged from 42～ 56 years old. Five life dimensions were derived as a result of our analysis: (a) biological dimension: depletion (effects of chronic fatigue and nervousness) (b) psychological dimension: emotional complexity (effects of ambivalence of divorce, child-caring and role-conflict) (c) psychosocial dimension: "super woman complex" (effects of demanding roles) (d) social dimension: a woman living without a husband (effects of the non-mainstream society), and (e) cultural dimension: insurmountable wall (effects of patriarchal family system) We also found that marriage, divorce, and beginning of new life were major turning points in the life histories of divorced single mothers. Finally, our participants utilized several strategies to adapt to their lives as a divorced single mother, including (a) overcoming physical difficulties due to strong mental health, (b) intentionally avoiding complicated thoughts, (c) reconstructing the meanings of their lives and (d) ignoring social-cultural prejudices against divorced single mothers. Through in-depth interviews with divorced single mothers, we found that our participants went through different life situations but shared experiences in ways to make efforts to survive. Social assistance for divorced single mothers is needed to recognize and respect their lives as they are.

Abstract

This study is aimed at clarifying the meaning and essence of familial relationships in connection with utilization of long-term care services for the elderly by female main caregivers. To accomplish the objective, 11 female main caregivers who use long-term care services were selected through purposeful sampling method and in-depth interviews were conducted. The collected data was analyzed through phenomenological research method presented by Giorgi(1985) to establish the meaning of familial relationships in connection with utilization of long-term care services by female main caregivers as 21 themes, 7 groups of themes, and 3 categories. The research findings suggest the following. Familial relationships of female main caregivers face a dilemma involving subjective fairness, depending on whether agreement is established among the dependent elderly, their adult children, and spouses as to utilization of long-term care services. In addition, familial relationships have an ambivalent structure with either severance of the relationship or successful relationship through unity of family members. Based on the results, the meaning and essence of familial relationships in connection with utilization of long-term care services by female main caregivers will be discussed and policy suggestions will be made.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of ego-resilience and family-resilience on marital stability of female marriage immigrants. The subjects were 123 female marriage immigrants living in Daegu and Kyungpook and completed three kinds of questionnaires regarding ego-resilience, family-resilience, and marital stability. The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics, Multiple Regression and Hierarchical Regression. The major results of this study were as follows: First, marital stability of female marriage immigrants was affected by ``curiosity and optimism`` and ``behavior and emotional control`` of ego-resilience. That is, when ‘curiosity and optimism’, ‘behavior and emotional control’ are higher, marital stability increases. Second, marital stability of female marriage immigrants was affected by ``organizational pattern`` of family-resilience. That is, when ``organizational pattern`` is higher, stability increases. Third, when family-resilience were added into the final model of hierarchial multiple regression analysis, ``organizational pattern`` turned out to be the most effective factor and then ‘curiosity and optimism’ was an effective factor in the order to increase marital stability of female marriage immigrants.

Abstract

This study examined marital satisfaction trajectories of mothers with preschool children over the past 3 years using Korean Longitudinal survey of women and families(KLoWF). The purpose of this study was to find factors associated with the marital satisfaction trajectories. For data analysis, frequency, correlation, and multinomial logistic regression (SPSS 18.0) were used. We identified 5 groups of marital satisfaction trajectories: constant-high, constant mid-below, downward, upward, and mixed groups. The results of the study showed that sharing leisure activities with a partner and women`s educational level were significant predictors of a constant-high group compared to a mid-below group. Satisfaction with division of household labor and women`s educational level were significant predictors of a upward group which distinguished from a mid-below group. However, educational level was a only significant predictor for maintaining constant-high and increasing marital satisfaction compared to downward group. Based on the findings, researchers suggested practice implications for increasing marital satisfaction of mothers with preschool children.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine (1) what residents perceived as a community boundary and (2) what association were found between the perception on community boundary and family-friendliness of the community. Data were drawn from a sample of 318 married men and 310 married women who had children under the school age. Descriptive analyses, multinomial logit analysis, and one-way ANOVA were used for analysis. The findings showed that there was a variation in the perception of community boundary: 15.29% of the respondents selected an apartment complex, 30.25% Dong, 41.40% Gu, and 13.06% other categories as a community boundary. Women perceived community boundary in larger scope than men did. Those who lived in multiple houses perceived community boundary in smaller scope than apartment residents. Those who selected Gu as a community boundary had higher scores on the awareness of community service infrastructure than those who selected other community boundaries. Those who selected apartment complex as a community had higher scores both on social capital and family-friendliness of community.
