Research instruments were follows: the Bulimia Test Revised; BULIT-R, the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale; MPS, and the Perceived Stress Scale; PPS. Through correlation analysis, the relationship between research variables were examined. And using the SPSS PROCESS Macro of Hayes (2013), the mediating effects of perceived stress in perfectionism and bulimic behavior were verified. As a result of correlation analysis, there was a significant correlation between multidimensional perfectionism, perceived stress, and bulimic behavior. The higher the perfectionism behavior, the more perceived stress was, and the more perceived stress, the more bulimic behavior was. Macro analysis showed that perceived stress partially mediated the relationship between multidimensional perfectionism and bulimic behavior. Self-oriented perfectionism, other-oriented perfectionism, and socially prescribed perfectionism had a directly affect bulimic behavior, and as the negative perceptions which is a sub-factor of perceived stress, it had an indirect effect on bulimic behavior. The mediating effect of positive perception, which is a sub-factor of perceived stress, was not significant.

This paper attempted to examine the psychological inner dynamics that the marriage-based female migrants undergo in adapting to Korea. When social support affects happiness and adjusting to life in Korea of the marriage-based female migrants, we investigated whether the paper will have direct effects or indirect effects of gratitude, return and indebtedness. This paper, involving 225 marriage-based female migrants from 5 East Asian countries, was conducted from Nov. 15, 2017, to Jan. 30, 2018 using purposive sampling methods. Structural equation modeling(SEM) using AMOS 22.0 showed the followings. First, it had a significantly direct effect on the gratitude of marriage-based female migrants when support from spouses and friends in their home countries. Second, the support of the in-laws only had a significant effect on the happiness of marriage-based female migrants. Third, support from Korean friends also had a significant effect on marriage-based female migrants’ adaptation to Korean life. Fourth, only when the support of a spouse and friends in their home affected the happiness of marriage-based female migrants, the gratitude and indebtedness showed a significant indirect effect. Fifth, when the support of a spouse and friends in their home affected the happiness and adaptation of Korean life of marriage-based female migrants, it showed a significant mediating effect on the gratitude and return. Finally, the cross-cultural comparison of the 5 East Asian nations showed cultural differences. The paper suggested that there is a difference in perception among marriage-based female migrants depending on the each social support sources in the process of adapting to Korean life.
