메뉴The purpose of this study was to examine whether adult attachment mediates the relationship between family health and married women's marriage satisfaction, and to verify whether spouse support regulates the mediating effect of adult attachment. Therefore, in order to collect data on these variables, data were collected using an online survey method for 213 married women across the country. As a result of the study, first, the results of analyzing the relationship between family health, adult attachment, marriage satisfaction, and spouse support all showed significant correlations. Second, as a result of verifying the mediating effect of adult attachment, the mediating effect of adult attachment was confirmed in the relationship between family health and marriage satisfaction. Third, it was confirmed that the moderating effect of spouse support in the relationship between adult attachment and marriage satisfaction was significant as a result of confirming whether spouse support regulates the relationship between adult attachment and marriage satisfaction. Fourth, as a result of confirming the controlled mediating effect of spouse support, it was verified that the effect of family health on marriage satisfaction through adult attachment was controlled by spouse support. Based on this, the significance and limitations of this study and the suggestions of subsequent studies were discussed.
This study aims to develop a group counseling program that promotes female North Korean defectors' adaptation to South Korean society by enhancing their communicative competence and verifying its effectiveness. To this end, the program was developed in four modules: communicative attitudes, communicative knowledge, communicative skills and communicative awareness by applying Motivational Interviewing and Social Skills Training according to the program development procedure proposed by Kim et al (2022). The purpose of the attitude module is to improve openness and motivation to communicate with South Koreans, and the purpose of the knowledge module is to understand the language, lifestyle, and communicative differences in South Korean society. The goal of the skills module is to learn how to communicate to build meaningful relationships in South Korean life, and the goal of the awareness module is to develop critical thinking about relationships by understanding oneself and others. As a result of the 16 sessions of the program, 50 minutes per session, over two days, for 10 Female North Korean defectors, the results showed an increase in communicative knowledge, skills, and awareness, although not statistically significant, and a significant increase in interaction management among the sub-factors of the Interpersonal Competence Scale, compared to before the program. Participants also reported that the program helped them to increase their confidence, recognize the need for change, understand communication culture differences, empathize with others, learn new content, and identify communication habits. Based on these findings, implications for the practice of group counseling for female North Korean defectors and suggestions for further research were discussed.
This study investigated the role of selfie behaviors in SNS as a mediator of the relationship between social comparison orientation and disordered eating among female adults in their 20s. The participants were 144 female college students who completed a series of self-report questionnaires that measure social comparison orientation, SNS selfie behaviors, and disordered eating behavior. The results indicated that general selfie behaviors did not significantly mediate the association between social comparison orientation and disordered eating behavior, whereas other-focused selfie behaviors significantly mediated the relationship between social comparison orientation and disordered eating behavior. Based on the findings, theoretical and practical implications as well as the limitations of this study are discussed.
This study analyzed the effects of satisfaction with working from home on organizational effectiveness and the moderating effects of gender and presence of children among married public officials. As a result of the analysis, the following results were derived. First, married public officials’ satisfaction with working from home had a positive effect on organizational effectiveness. Second, It was found that for women, satisfaction with working from home had a smaller effect on organizational commitment and job satisfaction than for men. There was no significant moderating effect in the relationship between organizational citizenship behaviors. Third, having children did not have a moderating effect in the relationship between satisfaction with working from home and organizational effectiveness. Lastly, as a result of analyzing the three-way interaction effect, it was found that for women with children, satisfaction with working from home had a greater impact on organizational commitment and job satisfaction than for women without children. In the future, it is expected that the theoretical scope of research will be expanded if groups are classified by reflecting the characteristics of institutions and tasks and the research subjects are expanded to private institutions.
The purpose of this study was to verify the mediating effect of spouse parenting alliance and the moderating effect of learning flow in the relation between parenting anxiety and well-being of student mothers. Data was collected online from 182 married female graduate students in their 30s and 40s with children aged 3-9 living in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 21 program and PROCESS Macro Models 4, 1, and 5. As a result of the analysis, spouse parenting alliance completely mediated the effect of parenting anxiety on the well-being of student mothers, and the mediating effect was moderated according to the learning flow of student mothers. In addition, when the learning flow of student mother was low, the higher the parenting anxiety, the lower the well-being, but when the learning flow was high, there was no difference in well-being due to parenting anxiety. This suggests that psychological intervention such as psycho-education and marital counseling for couples to promote parenting alliance will be helpful when trying to help student mothers with low well-being due to parenting anxiety, and individual counseling for student mothers can be effective when using positive psychological intervention that can increase learning flow a counseling strategy.
This study examined gender and narcissistic types as factors in the relationship between anonymity and aggression in 206 adults. Using hierarchical regression in SPSS 29.0, anonymity, aggression, overt narcissism, and covert narcissism were analyzed. Results reveal that the impact of anonymity on aggression loses significance when considering narcissistic types, despite sole anonymity significantly explaining aggression. Both overt and covert narcissistic tendencies explained aggression, controlling anonymity. Gender differences were observed, with only covert narcissism significantly explaining aggression in men, while women showed significant effects for both narcissistic tendencies in anonymity controlled conditions. The study underscores the need to scrutinize personal factors such as narcissistic types and gender for a comprehensive understanding of anonymous counseling. It emphasizes considering individual characteristics beyond the influence of anonymity itself.
