This study looks at Korean socio-cultural adaptation and child rearing experiences, and knows that the difficulty is not simply a problem caused by a married immigrant woman, and that the woman's adaptation process came from inadequate support from the family and society, resulting in a lack of emotional stability. Now do it.
For this study, in-depth interviews were conducted with middle-class married immigrant women who can communicate in Korean.
This study conducted a questionnaire survey by wire sampling targeting married migrant women living in the Jeonbuk region. The survey was conducted from October 1st to October 21st, 2020. The total number of survey subjects was 200, of which 175 were selected as the final subjects.
First, as a result of analyzing the mean and standard deviation of the sociocultural adaptation factors, the overall average was 3.02 points. As a result of analyzing by sub-factors, the integration factor was the highest with an average of 3.49, separation M=3.10, assimilation M=2.91, and marginalization. The factor was relatively low at M=2.59.
Secondly, the mean and standard deviation of child rearing attitudes by factors resulted in the overall average of 3.58 points. By factor, the rejective parenting attitude factor was the highest with an average of 3.49, the autonomous rearing attitude factor was an average of 3.25 points, and the controlled parenting attitude and the child rearing attitude were average 3.18, and affectionate parenting attitude was the lowest with an average of 2.74. The average and standard deviation result for each factor of parenting efficacy was 3.64 points on average, and as a result of analysis for each factor, communication ability and disciplinary ability averaged 3.72 points. The ability factor to raise healthy was 3.69 points on average, and the academic guidance ability was the lowest with an average of 3.51 points.
Third, socio-cultural adaptation, child rearing attitude, and parenting efficacy of marriage migrant women were high. In the analysis of the duration of residence and Korean language level of marriage migrant women, the age or duration of residence was long and the level of Korean language was high. Based on the results of this study, we learned about the influence of Korean language on the lives of migrant women.
Fourth, As a result of examining the effect of marriage immigrant women on their social and cultural adaptation and child rearing attitude, it was found that the social and cultural adaptation of marriage migrant women had a statically significant effect on their child rearing attitude. Could. However, the relationship between marriage migrant women's socio-cultural adaptation and parenting efficacy was found to have no statistical significance. This is contrary to other studies (Miyoung Kim, 2016; Ling Li, 2020) showing a significant relationship between social and cultural adaptation and parenting efficacy. In the study of Mi-Young Kim (2016), when looking at marriage immigrant women, 40.6% of the women lived for more than 5 to less than 10 years, with 36.1% for beginners and 51.1% for intermediate. On the other hand, in this study, the period of residence for more than 10 years was 73.7%, with 104% of intermediate level Korean level and 35.4% of advanced level, and the number of children was 14.9% higher. This seems to be a result of the increasing number of marriage migrant women living in Korea, increasing their Korean language level, and increasing the number of children in Korea to access the education system. As marriage immigrant women's confidence in raising their children increased, the impact of social and cultural adaptation on parenting attitude and parenting efficacy seemed to be less.
Fifth, suggestions for future research based on the results of this study are as follows.
There are many studies on parenting attitudes for Korean mothers, but studies on marriage migrant women are insufficient and not sufficiently explored. Therefore, in future studies, an extensive and detailed study of marriage immigrant women's child rearing process is needed.
In the child rearing attitude of this study, the rejective parenting attitude factor was high. Therefore, there is a need to provide education to develop and apply parenting coaching programs to form attachments as mothers for marriage migrant women.
In the parenting efficacy of this study, the academic guidance ability was the lowest. Therefore, it is necessary to expand and operate programs that can help and understand the difficulties in raising children for married migrant women.
