다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of acculturative stress and social support on the social adjustment of the marriage-based immigrant women in Chungbuk province. With this purpose, this study was also to investigate the current conditions of the marriage-based immigrant women in Chungbuk province.

Research was focused on :

1. What are the current conditions of the marriage-based immigrant women in Chungbuk province these days?
2. What differences are found in the level of the acculturative stress, social support and social adjustment of the marriage-based immigrant women in Chungbuk province ?
3. What are the effects of acculturative stress, social support on social adjustment of the marriage-based immigrant women ?

One hundred and forty one marriage-based immigrant women(mean age= 31.1) in Chungbuk province participated in this study. They were from China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Japan, Mongol, Indonesia and so on. The majority of the participants' nationality of origin was Vietnam. Data were analyzed with frequency, cross analysis, t-test, ANOVA with Scheffe post-hoc test, correlation analysis and multi-regression analysis using SPSS 12.0 program.

The findings were as follows :

First, the participants from the countries of Socialism(Vietnam, China etc.) were prevalent in this study and 57.4% of them have lived less than 3 years while the participants from the countries of Capitalism(Japan, the Philippines etc.) have lived a little longer.
Difference of means to get into international marriage was found. Women of socialist countries tended to marry with the monetary and economical reason rather than love and religious reasons shown among the participants of the countries of Capitalism.
Second, among the sub-variables of acculturative stress, communicative stress was the highest and hostility stress, the lowest. The rather great age difference, low level of education, buddhism, living in the extended family system, economical reason of marriage were proved to be major stressors of the acculturative stress of the participants.
Third, among the sub-variables of social support, current family support was the highest and material support, the lowest. Participants from the socialist countries acknowledged more positively to the role of social support. Women with better economic condition in rural residence with self-help group perceived social support highly.
Fourth, among the sub-variables of social adjustment, social-relation was the highest and family member relation, the lowest. Women with better economic condition, with longer years of education, with self-help group adjusted to the Korean society a lot better.
Fifth, social support had greater influence on the social adjustment than acculturative stress. The current family support had significant influence on social adjustment. The support from government and the friends of the same nationality showed negative effects on the social adjustment of participants. This means the support from the government was far short of the marriage-based immigrant women's needs.

Results of this study imply changes in the policies and programs for these women are necessary. Developing more specific and long lasting programs which are sensitive to the needs of each groups are required. Especially support programs should involve husbands and extended family members as well as immigrant women promoting the multi-cultural understanding among Koreans and the social inclusion of these women.
