다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated the post-divorce adjustment level, by focusing on life satisfaction, health, stress and
resource factors, for divorced men and women in their 20s and 30s. Also, it examined how these factors
affect life satisfaction and health. For this empirical analysis, data were collected from 114 divorced men and
112 divorced women, living in the Seoul metropolitan area, from 23rd Sep. to 20th Oct., 2002. The
questionnaire for the survey dealt with demographic information, life satisfaction, health, stress and resource
factor scales.The major findings of the research project were as follows.:
First, the life satisfaction and health levels of the divorced men and women were low. Especially, divorced
women had more physical and psychological problems than men. Second, the divorced men’s satisfaction
was affected by pre-divorce life events and education level, whereas the divorced women’s satisfaction was
affected by subjective economic dissatisfaction, pre-divorce life events, everyday life level when they were
divorced, and social support. Finally, the attitude toward divorce of significant others and pre-divorce life
events were important variables for the divorced men’s health, whereas attachment toward ex-spouse, predivorce
life events, pre-divorce marital conflict and social support were affectable variables for the divorced
women’s health. The results of current research are expected to contribute to the divorce adjustment
programs according to gender.
