Effects of Accumulative Cultural Stress of Women Migrated for Marriage on Their Psychological Wellbeing - Focused on Mediating and Moderating Effects on Psychosocial Resources’ -

This study aims to reveal how stress caused by adapting into new culture influences the psychological well-being by reviewing meditation and moderation effects of their psychosocial resources by surveying 324 women who migrated for marriage from China, Vietnam, Philippines, and Japan living in 12 cities and provinces in Chungcheongbukdo. First, the introduction stated the necessity and purpose of the research. Second, I defined women who migrated for marriage, stress from adapting to a new culture, and psychosocial resources and provided the basis to set up researchable variables and models, followed by the research methods and offered the key analysis results. In conclusion, I provided policy-wise and practical suggestions based on the analysis. The study is significant in that women who migrated for marriage should adapt themselves to changes arising from migration and try to lead stable lives, while local communities should embrace them as neighbors and provide various resources for their psychological well-being.
