ABSTRACT
Using questionnaire data from a sample of 144 mothers who have 6-36 months children in Seoul, this study examined the relationship among wife's parenting stress, social support, and wife's marital satisfaction. The main results of this study were summarized as follows; 1. Whereas the level of the employed wife's parenting participation was very low, the level of another person's support was very high. On the other hand, her husband participated less in the parenting than the unemployed wife's husband did. 2. Parenting stress was negatively related to marital satisfaction while the satisfaction of husband's support was positively related to marital satisfaction. 3. The satisfaction of husband's support mediated the relationship between parenting stress and wife's marital satisfaction. That is, wife's satisfaction of husband's support predicted higher marital satisfaction. 4.For both employed and unemployed wife, the most important indicator of marital satisfaction was not parenting stress but her husband's emotional support.
