The scale of this study was based on ISS(Index of Sexual Satisfaction) developed by Hudson(1981). But it is reconstructed to 21 items instead of Hudson`s 25 items after conducting of Cronbach`s α test in pretest. The main findings of this study were summarized as follows: First, the mean score of married women was 3.48(SD=0.47) and that of married men was 3.50(SD=0.47) in 5 grade Likert scale, which meant married men and women were satisfied with their sexual satisfaction a little upper than half score(3.0). These score reflect the conservatism of Korean society, especially in sexuality issue. It revealed that men still take initiative in sexuality. The result of t-test indicated that there were no significant differences between the sexual satisfaction of married men and women. Second, in case of married women, there were significant differences in demographic variables such as education level, type of marriage and income, but there were no significant differences in demographic variables such as age, period of marriage, number of children, family type, job and health.

Abstract

Generally known socio-demographic statistic show that marriage and family are traditional institutions which are continuously loosing importance and are increasingly getting weaker. Some scientists explain this phenomenon with the concept of post-modern time. They use this concept as a "model to explain" the diagnosis of our time. I will try to analyse some studies about the family and the post-modern time which are published in the German-speaking area. And I will try to find out, above all in Western countries, how much the concepts "Plurality", "Individuality", "Deinstitutionalisation", "Relation" and "Post-modern" are linked to each other. `Postmodern Family` is an interesting topic for the understanding of recent changes in the family, providing much stimulus for the family research area. I hope that this study about the Western concept of `Postmodern Family` may contribute to the understanding of the going and coming changes in the Korean family.
