결혼이주여성과 한국여성의 상호문화변용의 자료를 수집하여 근거이론으로 분석한 결과, 자녀양육, 언어, 직업이나 이웃 등의 접근성과 정보교류의 맥락적 요인은 중심현상인 `중층 공간에 위치`한 다문화 주체들의 친밀한 교제나 평형 유지 등과 밀접한 관련을 보였다. 그리고 다문화 주체들의 성격, 이중국적, 해외경험 등의 개인적 자원이나, 가족과 사회 지지체계의 관계적 자원 그리고 신앙 경험의 중재적 조건에 따라 중심현상의 강도에 변화를 야기하며 마주하기, 경계 넘나들기, 경계허물기, 상호의존하기, 상호존중하기의 단계들로 나타나는 작용/상호작용 전략을 통해 중심현상을 구체적으로 설명하고 있다. 결과적으로 결혼이주여성과 한국여성들의 상호문화변용은 그 관계가 지속됨에 따라 다문화적 지평 확장으로 나타나는데 그 변화의 정도나 차원에 따라 개인적, 사회문화적, 세계적 차원에서 개별성, 통합성, 상호성으로 나아가는 다문 화적 지향을 보여주었다.

This study was conducted to confirm the results of the mutual acculturation with Korean Women as well as the only acculturation of the immigrant women. These multicultural subjects exposed their own stories and were analysed as the positive as well as negative interrelationship between them. The principal formation might be founded as the acceleration or the impediments for their mutual interaction. Generally the immigrant women as well as Korean women faced many difficulties and felt prejudices while their raising children in the patriarchal society. Therefore their mothering experiences between them might be mediators for understanding each other. These mothering process might help them extracting the result of more active mutual acculturation. This study explores the vivid experiences of the immigrant women as well as the Korean women. It was based on the qualitative research method, a series of in-depth interviews conducted on 19 participants who comprised of 9 immigrant women and 10 Korean women. The data was collected and were analyzed according to the grounded theory within the theory of qualitative research methods. From the analysis, the core phenomenon that persists in the process was analyzed by `located in the intermediate spaces`. This core phenomenon was emerging from the causal conditions of their acceptability of the multicultural phenomenon, passively or actively. The contextual conditions behind this phenomenon were affected according to the dimensions of information that they could access to and exchange each other. The immigrant women and Korean women interact more easily rather than the other community members and their experience of raising their children could identify themselves as a multicultural entity and empathy for maintaining close relationships. These multicultural subjects were mediated conditions of these personal, social, and religious resources. At this core phenomenon and interventional condition were shown their context through the relationships. Their personal sense of acculturation were analyzed as not only conflicts and incorporation but also acception. In other words, interactions of these multicultural entities exist in the intermediate space can reach out beyond the boundaries. Acceptance and avoidance degree for their multi-cultural phenomena as their boundary extension through the lapse of time. To become as the inner group members, the community barriers had to be collapsed and need a process of mutual dependence and mutual respect. There is a specific change is confirmed in 5 steps. Step 1: facing, step 2: boundary crossing, step 3: boundary break down, step 4: interdependence, step 5: respect to each other. The results presented in accordance with these action / interaction strategies were able to see that the subject of multicultural immigrant women can be changing the cultural horizons of Korea women through the process analyses. Finally the consequences were made and divided into individuality, integration. There is reciprocity gradually expanded. These changes might be caused of the change in the personal, social, cultural, and global levels. The discussion within this study used a sociological, educational, and counselling perspectives on the context of multicultural and global society and proposed the paradigm shift. Especially this study proposed that the praxis in pastoral counselling even in the perplexed and confused spaces. Therefore, this study found out that the Kingdom of God can be exposed in the diversity and unity through the mutual acculturation process and supporting of all members of community.
