결혼만족도 향상을 위한 수용 프로그램 = (The) study of acceptance program for marital satisfaction enhancement

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to develop a marriage enrichment program, called Acceptance Program and to verify its effectiveness. This program is designed to increase marital satisfaction. Up until now, functions of marriage enrichment programs mainly focused on results of behavioral changes including couple's communication and problem solving skills improvement. However, if the phrase, marriage satisfaction is defined as "personal feeling and evaluations regarding many areas of their marriage life, through their internal attitudes, specifically their cognitive process," rather than attempting to change external conditions, it is for one's benefits to obtain skills to evaluate internal conflicts and be able to change his/her personal attitudes that lies internally.
The subject of this study was formed based on studies of previous marital therapy programs such as Acceptance-based Integrated Couple Therapy (ICT), developed by Jacobson and Christensen. While developing and implementing their first program, Traditional Behavioral Couple Therapy (TBCT), Jacobson and Christensen encountered stagnant results on the subject of their program. With the belief that there had to be a "missing link" in the practice side of their study which resulted stagnant and even lower effectiveness, these scholars conducted further research and concluded this "missing link" to be the content of acceptance. By adding this factor, Jacobson and Christensen developed another program called, ICT, with the hope of drastically improving the couple therapy's effectiveness. As a result, ICT became a contextually based integrated behavioral couple treatment including several acceptance strategies designed to help couples to achieve improved satisfaction and adjustment in their marriage lives.
This study's focus is to investigate ICT's implementations and how the factor of acceptance came to play such a significant role in improving the marriage satisfaction. Additionally, assuming acceptance is a necessary ingredient in developing likely marital programs, I based my thesis also on integrating REBT‘s theory with the attempt more effectively to increase the couple's acceptance by replacing their irrational belief regarding marriage life with rational belief.
In order to effectively test the newly designed program, 21 married couples participated. Based upon various test results, these couples showed higher satisfaction as the level of overall area of marital satisfaction increased. Although the study of this new program will continue to improve, based on the initial results, I hope and expect such acceptance-focused programs to be highly effective in resolving any marital problems or conflicts in today's society in a more practical manner.
