It has been revealed that the total number of foreigners who resides in South Korea has reached 1,143,087, among which 149,165 of the residents immigrated to South Korea through international marriage, and that the cases of Korea men marrying foreign women accounted for approximately 75% based upon the statistical date published by immigration office in 2015. However, considerable prejudice against the multi-cultural society still exist. The main bias lies in the cultural and social differences between husband and wife since the majority of female marriage immigrants are from developing countries. Based on this background, this thesis aims to discover the essentiality of female marriage immigrants receiving social recognition and positive judgment as fairly-treated individuals. It cannot be purely considered as an individual issue, but also refers to a diplomatic issue to some extent, consequently, positive intervention of related social welfare department should be discussed. Compared with objective-orientated clinical test, self-rated health level is apt to be more subjective. It was found that only 35.1% Korean over 15 stated in good status of health according to a concerning Korean’s status of health and expenditure of visiting medical institutions, and that Korea and Japan are the only two nations whose self-perceived health rate is below 40%. As the problem turns out to be much more critical, it seems to be more essential to study self-rated health of female marriage immigrants. In order to alleviate the acculturation stress, Berry and Kim pointed out a dominant factor which is social support. Status of marriage, age, nationality, level of education and entry year are the basic variables in terms of demographic sociology. In this study, in order to comprehend to what extent the influence of perceived acculturation stress on self-rated health, a nationwide research on actual condition in 12,324 multi-cultural families was conducted. The statistical methodology along with the final results of the study are interpreted as follows. Multiple regression analysis was utilized to deal with the influence of acculturation stress and social support on self-rated health level, while moderated regression analysis was implemented to determine whether and to what extent social support has regulation effect on self-rated health. With regard to the results of the study, it appears that the stronger discrimination culture is, the lower self-rated health level will be. Moreover, it is illustrated that on one hand the social status in one’s home country has no direct effect on the self-rated health, whereas, on the other hand, the higher social status in Korea is, the lower self-rated health level will be. Furthermore, the more social support can be offered, the better self-rated health will be. In the case of individuals from home country, job and leisure are regarded as primary concerns. In the meanwhile, in the case of Korean people, the education of children comes first; while in the case of other foreigners, leisure seems to be the main topic. On the contrary, it represents inversely proportional to self-rated health level. In addition, there is no dominant evidence that Korean Language education or Korean culture education correlates with self-rated health.
