The subjects were 480 girl and boy students 1 middle school in Gyung Ki-Do, 2 middle schools in Seoul (Gwang Jin-Gu, Gang Nam-Gu).
This study was been used by marital conflict scale which is CPIC (The Children's Perception of International Conflict Scale) developed by Grynch and his colleague (1992). This is also verified the validity and the trust by Guoen young ok, Lee jung duk(1997). One instrument used to measure parent - child communication was Barnes and Olson (1982)' s adolescent form of parent - child communication scale, which was modified by Min Ha - yeoung (1991) to fit into circumstances in our nation.
For collected data, utilizing SPSS WIN 10.0 program for frequency, percentage, t-test, unitary vary quantity analysis, Duncan test, Cronbach ' s α coefficient was calculated, measuring Pearson correlative coefficient for verifying correlation.
To sum up, the results are as follows;
First, Marital conflict, perceived by adolescent is not generally high level and the disposal utility factor by adolescent form is higher compare with other numerical index, the contents by adolescent is perceived lower compare with numerical index. Boys perceived marital conflict higher than girls. If the parents have lower scholar or the fathers are not office workers or the mothers are holding housewives, specialized jobs and the standard of living is lower than middle lower classes, the students who were the subject perceived marital conflict highly. Subordinate factor for this index, boys are conscious of cause of marital conflict more than girls and being difficult, hard to deal with conflict conditions. Particularly father of students has bachelor degree and mother of students has finished middle school or lower than that.
This circumstance make the students to be conscious of the problem is causing from themselves. If the father is holding labor or lower class job, the numerical value rised up about settlement, frequency, intensity, menace. The students are exposed by marital conflicts, if the mothers are housewives.
And also, the more the students are conscious of themselves lower classes, the more the students deal with higher utility factor, frequency, intensity, settlement, menace.
Second, the students are mostly having open communications with their parents, but usually more open communications with their mothers.
The mothers are having more open communication with their eldest children,but normally having difficulty communication with middle children. As long as the students are conscious of living conditions higher or the fathers are younger, the students could openly communicate with their parents. If the mothers are younger or fathers are special work or the families are nuclear, the subjects would have open communication with their fathers. If the students have expansive families, most of their communications with fathers are trouble. On the other hand It doesn't appear difference according to sex, scholastic abilities of fathers, existence, classes of mother's occupations.
Third, perceiving marital conflict by the adolescent and communication between parents-adolescent is the less the students are conscious of parents conflict, the more the students have open communication with their parents. The higher Being conscious of marital conflict, the more the students have trouble communication with their parents. Subordinate factor for this marital conflict index, the open communication with mothers are having correlation about every field in the index but the open communication with the fathers have no correlation with contents and self-criticism. On the other side, it has correlation with every factor in index about trouble communication with parents. Particularly it has high correlation with frequency.
This study, perceiving marital conflict by adolescent effect communication with each other, besides this matter could bring the trouble behavior of adolescent. The adolescent are needed about recognition from their parents and training this matter for parents which marital conflict falls on adolescent as negative side and seriousness.
