다문화가정의 종교가 가족통합과 정체성 확립에 미치는 영향 ‒일본인 결혼이주여성(통일교) 사례를 중심으로‒

Abstract

This study is to analyze Japanese female believer in TONGILGYO who married Korean man with the perspective that religious conditions work positively on the integration of family and the establishment of identity in multi-cultural home. The reason for it is that Japanese female believer in TONGILGYO married Korean man, compared to followers of other religions or non-believers, is relatively well adapted to Korean society. It is thought that, the reason that female believers of TONGILGYO moved to Korea after marrying better adapted to Korean society than women of various nationality, is for the multiple effect of the religious belief of TONGILYO and Japanese social personality of theirs. First, I conducted quantitative research into the situation of religion, family integration and the establishment of family identity in multi-cultural families. That is to verify the differences between families of other religions or non-religion and family of TONGILGYO quantitatively. Second, In order to supplement these quantitative findings, an in-depth interview was conducted on the life-history of female believer of TONGILGYO. Thus, this study is to confirm the differences in the Korean social adaptation of the Japanese female believer in TONGILGYO by combining the results of quantitative research and qualitative in-depth interview.
