기혼중년남성의 가족탄력성이 스트레스 대처행동에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of married middle-aged men’s family resilience upon their stress coping behavior. The study subjects were 301 married middle-aged men between the ages of 40-54. The results were as follows. First, the extent of family resilience was above the middle level. Among the stress coping behavior, rational action presented the highest average score. Second, among the sub-variables of family resilience, the influential variables upon the coping behavior of stress were belief system’s family coherence, positive perspective, the flexibility of morality, religion and organizational pattern, connectivity, family resources, communication-oriented mutually cooperative problem-solving, clarity and emotional coping. There was significant difference in the coping behavior in response to stress by groups. When family resilience was higher, the men responded to stress rationally. Third, among the variables of family resilience, organizational pattern had the highest influence upon the coping behavior in response to stress, followed by belief system, communication and marriage status in that order. The groups of proper formation of family norm and proper reorganization of family structure, proper exchange of information within family circles and first-marriage coped with stress rationally.
