This paper examines the significance of spouses’ education on self-rated health among Korean female elderly residing in Seoul (aged 50-69) and analyzes if there are gendered effects. In other words, the present research argues that given patriarchal culture among elderly population in Korea, it is more likely that females are more strongly affected by their spouses’ educational level than their own. Subsequently, three possible mechanisms are explored in terms of lifestyle (lifestyle hypothesis), psychological state (psychological spill-over hypothesis), and income (economic resource hypothesis). The dataset is from a project, Social Capital and Its Impact on Health Promoting Behavior, by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs(KIHASA) in 2012. The dataset if representative of the non-institutionalized Seoul citizens in their 50s and 60s and, for this paper, only married females were included, which is 692 respondents. The results show that the effects of wives’ own education on self-rated good health were not statistically significant whereas husbands’ education had significant effects on wives’ self-rated good health. This result affirms the male dominance hypothesis in that male spouses’ education exerts bigger impacts on their wives’ health than the wives’ own educational level. As for mechanism, lifestyle factors, i.e. BMI, regular exercise, and drinking were not important in predicting wives’ good self-rated health. Moreover, the combined lifestyle factors did not change the significance of husbands’ education on wives’ health. This suggests that the hypothesis on the role of lifestyle is not upheld in this study. Next, regarding psychological spill-over hypothesis, the effect of husbands’ secondary versus tertiary education turned insignificant after Geriatric Depression Scale and life satisfaction are entered in analysis. This suggests that those whose husband graduated from middle and high school may have lower self-rated health as compared to those whose husband achieved higher degrees in vocational college and university, via the mediation of greater depressive symptoms and reduced life satisfaction. Lastly, the effects of husbands’ primary and secondary education, as compared to tertiary level, turned insignificant when household income is taken into consideration. This suggests those in the two lower brackets in terms of spouses’ education (i.e., primary and secondary) may experience lower self-rated health due to lower household income than those who belong to the highest bracket in terms of spouses’ education (tertiary). This supports the hypothesis stating the mediating effects of income in comprehending the effects of husbands’ education on wives’ health status. The strong influence of husbands’ education on elderly wives’ health suggests that elderly citizens in Seoul are exposed to rather patriarchal culture where varied aspects of wives’ life may be determined by husbands’ SES. With regard to mechanism, the findings suggest that household income functions more strongly than other factors such as lifestyle and psychological conditions.
