초록

본 연구는 외국인 며느리를 둔 시부모를 대상으로 하여 문화적응 스트레스를 측정하기 위한 척도를 개발하고 그 신뢰도와 타당도를 검증해보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 기존의 유학생을 대상으로 하는 문화적응 스트레스 척도를 기본척도로 하여 다문화 가정의 시부모에 적합하도록 재구성하였다. 분석 결과, 문항의 제거와 표본의 이상치 점검을 위한 문항분석을 통하여 최종적으로 11문항이 선정되었다. 다음으로 문화적응 스트레스 척도의 요인구성을 살펴보기 위하여 탐색적 요인분석을 실시하였으며 시부모의 문화적응 스트레스 척도는 ‘편견 및 차별감 지각’, ‘문화적 가치관 차이로 인한 갈등’, ‘일상생활의 불편’의 세 가지 요인으로 구성됨을 확인하였다. 이렇게 구성된 척도의 타당도를 검증하기 위하여 구조모형을 통한 확인적 요인분석을 실시하였으며 그 결과 양호한 모형적합도를 보여주었다. 척도의 신뢰도는 Cronbach's 로 검증하였으며 0.86으로 나타났다.

There is recent recognition that the approach toward family members is crucial for understanding problems in multi-cultural families by emerging from typical approach focused on migrant women. While researches have reported serious conflicts and adaptation problems from cultural difference between parent-in-law and foreign daughter-in-law, cultural stress of parent-in-law has not been systematically examined. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a scale to measure acculturation stress of parent-in-law who have a foreign daughter-in-law. The sample consisted of 266 parents-in-law from three provinces of South Korea. Initially, 16 items were generated based on the existing scale of acculturation stress and they are tested by item-analysis through the descriptive and correlational analysis. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted to investigate the factor structure of the scale and a confirmatory factor analysis was used to validate the scale. By item-analysis, five items were deleted from initial scale items because of redundancy. Findings from an exploratory factor analysis provided the evidence that the scale consists of three factors which are the perception of prejudice and discrimination, conflicts from different cultural value, and daily discomfort. Cronbach's for the scale is 0.86. Multiple fit indices from confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the hypothesized three-factor model for acculturation stress achieved a good fit with the data. Results showed the evidence for the reliability and validity of the scale for acculturation stress of the parent-in-law who have foreign daughter-in-law. The scale would have potential effects for assessing psychological stress for parent-in-law in research and clinical practice. Further implications and limitation of the study and suggestions for future studies were discussed.
