국문 초록 (Abstract)

재무적 의사결정은 부부관계에 대한 만족도와 관계가 있다. 본 연구는 상징적 상호작용이론에 근거하여 재무의사결정의 관여도와 재무만족도가 부부관계 만족도와 어떤 관련이 있는지 살펴보았다. 본 연구의 결과 부부공동의사결정과 단독결정여부는 재무의사결정과정에서의 관여도에 대해 그들이 느끼는 만족도만큼 중요함을 보여주었다. 본 연구의 결과에 따른 시사점은 부부와 그들의 재무적 문제를 다루는 교육자, 재무치료사 및 관련 전문가와 연구자에게 유용하게 이용될 수 있다.

How couples make financial decisions is known to be associated with relationships satisfaction. The current study uses symbolic interaction theory to examine how a person’s involvement in financial decision-making and their satisfaction is related to relationship satisfaction. The results from this study indicate that whether couples make decisions jointly or not is nearly as important as the level of satisfaction they have with their involvement in the financial decision-making process. Findings suggest implications for educators, financial therapists, and other professionals working with couples and their financial issues, as well as highlighting opportunities for further research in this area.
