초록

Korean society is undergoing rapid social changes, leading to shifts in the perception and structure of families. Along with these societal transformations, the proportion of unwed mothers has been increasing. However, unwed mothers consistently experience discrimination, inequality, and unfavorable treatment in their daily lives, which has been reported to pose various challenges to their mental health. Consequently, there is a pressing need for research to clearly understand the relationship between experiences of discrimination and mental health. Accordingly, this study employed a dual mediation model, examining the mediating role of stress and depression between experiences of discrimination and life satisfaction among unwed mothers. The analysis method utilized the SPSS PROCESS macro model 6. Analyzing data collected from 620 participants through an online survey titled "Survey on Childbirth and Child-Rearing in Families of Unwed Mothers" conducted from July to September 2019, the results indicated that experiences of discrimination among unwed mothers had negative impacts on both stress, depression, and life satisfaction. The validation of the dual mediation model revealed that both stress and depression had significant indirect effects, and the dual mediation effect through both stress and depression was also statistically significant. Through these research findings, we investigated the influence of discrimination experiences on the mental health of unwed mothers and discussed implications for enhancing their awareness and addressing the challenges related to mental health.

Abstract

Korean society is undergoing rapid social changes, leading to shifts in the perception and structure of families. Along with these societal transformations, the proportion of unwed mothers has been increasing. However, unwed mothers consistently experience discrimination, inequality, and unfavorable treatment in their daily lives, which has been reported to pose various challenges to their mental health. Consequently, there is a pressing need for research to clearly understand the relationship between experiences of discrimination and mental health. Accordingly, this study employed a dual mediation model, examining the mediating role of stress and depression between experiences of discrimination and life satisfaction among unwed mothers. The analysis method utilized the SPSS PROCESS macro model 6. Analyzing data collected from 620 participants through an online survey titled "Survey on Childbirth and Child-Rearing in Families of Unwed Mothers" conducted from July to September 2019, the results indicated that experiences of discrimination among unwed mothers had negative impacts on both stress, depression, and life satisfaction. The validation of the dual mediation model revealed that both stress and depression had significant indirect effects, and the dual mediation effect through both stress and depression was also statistically significant. Through these research findings, we investigated the influence of discrimination experiences on the mental health of unwed mothers and discussed implications for enhancing their awareness and addressing the challenges related to mental health.
