다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examined the relationship among the attachment style, communication competence and marital satisfaction with male and female adults of the thirties and forties in the first decade of marriage. ANOVA revealed men with secure attachments had the highest marital satisfaction than the ones with other attachment styles. Among 4 dimensions of communication competence, altercentrism explained significantly the marital satisfactions of men and, expressiveness and self-disclosure explained significantly that of women. Also women and the one with secure attachments had higher communication competence than their counterparts. Regression analysis found the man's communication competence mediated the relationships of attachments and marital satisfaction, while women's communication competence did not interact with attachments.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

결혼생활 10년 전후의 30-40대 성인 남녀(남: 167명, 여: 201명)를 대상으로 애착과 의사소통 능력 및 결혼관계 만족의 관계를 연구하였다. 4범주의 성인 애착척도와 의사소통 능력척도 그리고 결혼관계 만족척도를 사용하여 연구한 결과, 안정형 애착을 지닌 남성들이 안정형 애착의 여성들보다 더 높은 결혼관계 만족을 경험하고 몰입형 애착을 지닌 여성들은 안정형과 두려움형 애착의 여성들과 유사한 정도의 만족을 경험하였다. 의사소통 능력 중 타인지향성은 남성들의 그리고 표현력과 자기노출은 여성들의 결혼관계 만족을 유의하게 설명하였다. 또한 여성들이 남성들보다 그리고 안정형 애착의 소유자들이 안정되지 못한 애착의 소유자들보다 더 높은 의사소통 능력을 지니고 있었고, 회귀분석결과 남성들의 경우에만 의사소통 능력은 애착과 결혼관계 만족 사이를 조절하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 즉 남성들이 높은 의사소통 능력을 지닐 때는 애착유형에 따라 결혼관계 만족에서 큰 차이가 없으나 낮은 의사소통 능력을 지닐 때는 애착유형에 따라 결혼관계 만족에서 큰 차이를 보인다는 것이다. 그러나 여성들의 경우에는 애착유형과 상관없이 의사소통 능력만이 결혼관계 만족에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.
