Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effects of depression in the relationships between marital conflict and parenting behavior of fathers. The data from fathers of 1703 4-year-old children participating in the Panel Study of Korean Children was analyzed. Findings of this study from structural equation modeling analysis indicated that marital conflict was associated positively with depression. Parenting behavior was predicted by depression. Marital conflict had a negative effect on parenting behavior. This study showed that the relationships between marital conflict and parenting behavior were mediated by depression.

본 연구는 유아기 자녀를 양육하고 있는 아버지를 대상으로 하여 부부갈등과 우울, 양육행동의 관련성과 더불어 부부갈등, 우울, 양육행동이 관련되는 과정에서 우울의 매개효과를 살펴보았다. 한국아동패널 5차년도 자료를 사용하여 아버지가 지각한 부부갈등과 우울, 양육행동의 구조적 관계를 분석하였다. 연구의 자료 분석 결과, 부부갈등은 우울에 직접적인 영향을 미치고, 우울은 양육행동에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 구조모형 분석 결과를 살펴보면, 부부갈등은 양육행동에 직접적인 영향을 미치며, 또한, 우울을 통해 양육행동에 간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 아버지의 부부갈등이 우울을 통해 양육행동에 영향을 미친다는 것을 밝힘으로써 부부갈등과 우울, 양육행동의 관련성에서 우울의 매개효과를 확인하였다.
