본 연구의 목적은 한국의 가족 및 친족관계의 특성을 국제 비교적 맥락에서 분석하는 것이다. ISSP(International Social Survey Program)의 모듈인 '사회관계와 지원체계'를 조사한 2004년 한국일반종합조사의 자료를 바탕으로 하여, 한국의 친족 간 접촉빈도와 사회적 지원에서 친족이 차지하는 위치를 비교적 시각에서 분석하였다. 연구결과는 한국의 대면적 친족접촉빈도가 조사대상 국 중 최하위 권에 있으며, 한국의 가족 및 친족이 정서적 지원보다는 도구적 지원의 대상으로 작동하는 성격이 보다 강함을 보여주고 있다. 한국의 낮은 친족접촉빈도는 한국의 경제발전 수준이나, 강한 가족주의의 전통으로는 쉽게 설명되기 어렵다는 점에 주목하여, 유교적 전통 중 위계적 집합주의가 섬소한 대면적 접촉빈도를 설명할 수 있음을 주장하였다. 사회적 지원과 관련하여서는 한국의 가족주의가 도구적 가족주의의 성격을 가지고 있음을 확인하는 한편, 친족집단의 낮은 정서적 지원정도와 위계적 집합주의와의 관련이 논의되었다. 또, 이러한 낮은 정서적 지원의 양상이 반드시 한국의 가족관계가 비정서적인 것을 의미하는 것은 아니라는 것이 지적되었다.

최근 시장개방과 더불어 각종 문화매체의 통한 문화교류와 급속도로 증가하고 있는 인터넷 이용은 현대사회의 대중문화의 글로벌화를 만들어 현대인의 가치관에 큰 변화를 주고 있다. 특히 20세기 이전까지 전통적인 사회를 고수하고 있던 비서구권의 문화가 보다 서구적이며 비전통적으로 변화되어 가고 있다(Featherstone, 1990). 1988년의 이미 Triandis 등의 연구자들은 일본문화에 대한 연구에서 일본인들의 가치관이 전통적인 집단주의 측면보다 서구적인 개인주의 측면이 보다 강하게 나타나기 시작한다고 보고하였다. (중략)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the zero-sum belief scale among a sample of Korean adults. The original scale was developed by Różycka-Tran, Boski, and Wojciszke (2015) based on the Belief in a Zero-Sum Game (BZSG) model. A total of 508 participants (252 college students and 256 non-student adults) completed an online survey comprised of the scales of zero-sum belief, social trust, subjective socioeconomic status, individualistic-collectivistic tendencies, and social comparison orientation. Results of the exploratory factor analysis and the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that zero-sum belief scale has one factor. The internal consistency of the zero-sum belief scale was good. The Zero-sum belief scale did not have a significant relationship with social trust and subjective socioeconomic status. However, the scale was positively associated with vertical individualistic and vertical collectivistic tendencies and negatively associated with horizontal collectivistic tendencies. There was no significant relationship between zero-sum belief and horizontal individualistic tendencies, but there was a significant positive relationship between zero-sum belief and social comparison orientation. However, the results from the college student sample and the non-student adult sample were different. Lastly, this study could facilitate future research on zero-sum belief in South Korea, and future studies are needed to reveal the predictors and effects of zero-sum belief.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to discuss challenges for hope seeking intervention based on individual experience (HSIBIE) in palliative care, assuming that hope is an individualized unique, subjective, and dynamic experience. Methods: Literature, including analysis and discussion, was reviewed to identify limitations and ways to develop HSIBIE. Results: This study identified following challenges: 1. Hope was often described and utilized as a standardized unified structure with varying attributes or mono-structure emphasizing a realistic hope, or both of them (relativism vs. monism) in one literature. This challenge is represented as a problem in conceptualization. 2. Few studies discussed various patterns of hope or individuals' unique experiences in palliative care. 3. The HSIBIE and the method for the HSIBIE have been rarely discussed. Conclusion: A problem in conceptualization is often related to fixed ideas formed over a long period and used in a closed circle of scholars and professionals. Therefore, such fixed ideas should be openly challenged with fresh perspectives. The second issue requires a cross-cultural studies of various hope experiences in palliative care, which can be used for effective and appropriate HSIBIE.

The recent findings proposed and found that people from Eastern cultures could experience strong cognitive dissonance only when certain conditions, such as other-related choices, normative attitudes, were fulfilled. Even though such interesting findings are intuitively convincing on the basis of common understanding of individualist and collectivist cultures, the psychological mechanisms underlying the cultural variations of cognitive dissonance remain untested. The present study examined the role of attitude importance in cognitive dissonance by using the free-choice paradigm. After completing a pretest of individualism-collectivism scales, 60 college students ranked their preference to 10 items of either beverage or traffic regulations twice. Between the two ranking tasks, they were asked to engage in behavioral selection among their 5^th and 6^th preferred items. They also rated the personal importance of the preference. The results showed that attitude importance was positively correlated with attitude change and it could play a major role in experiencing cognitive dissonance beyond cultural orientation and situational factors. The current findings were discussed in universality of cognitive dissonance across cultures.

이 글에서는 우리나라 고학력화 현상의 원인을 봉건주의 시대 이후 일제기까지 형성된 교육요구, 그리고 교육자격의 예비직업자격 기능, 사회이동 통로로서의 학교교육 및 노동시장 분절 그리고 중간층의 증대를 중심으로 살펴볼 것이다. 우리 사회에서 고학력 선호경향이 쉽사리 가라앉을 전망은 없어 보인다. 우리 사회의 경우, 우리의 가치관에서부터 사회제도에 이르기까지 모든 요소들이 고학력에 대한 열망을 부추기고 있기 때문이다. 이러한 측면에서 볼 때, 고학력화 현상에 대한 문제는 개인의 능력.개성.특성이 존중되어 '삶의 질'을 만족스럽게 높여줄 수 있는 방향으로의 제도개혁과 함께, 나의 자식만을 위한 교육이 아닌 '우리들의 자식을 위한 교육'이라는 의식개척이 동시에 이루어져야 해결될 수 있을 것이다.

선거는 민주주의 사회에서 가장 중요한 사회적 행위 중의 하나이다. 여러 사회적 행위의 전자화를 위해서 정보보호 기술이 접목되고 있으며, 아직까지 개인의 익명성과 관련된 선거, 현금과 같은 분야는 매우 많은 요구사항으로 인하여 전자화 되지 못 하고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 규모가 큰 선거에서의 전자 선거 기법 도입을 위한 다양한 요구사항들을 분석하고, 전자선거 기법 구현시의 문제점 및 투표 및 개표 시스템의 전자화와 관련된 연구 동향을 알아본다. 또한, 부인봉쇄 서명 기법을 적용하여 전자선거에서의 투표자 중심의 요구사항을 만족하며 투표권에 대한 부인봉쇄 다중서명을 생성하도록 함으로써 보다 공정한 전자선거가 될 수 있는 인터넷 기반 전자선거 기법을 제안한다.

Materialistic values can be a important variable to understand Koreans' psychological well-being and mental health. This study aimed to validate the Korean version of the Material Values Scale (K-MVS)(Richins & Dawson, 1992). In study 1, we performed confirmatory factor analysis(CFA) to ascertain the three factor model of the original MVS using 417 Korean undergraduate student data(sample 1). The CFA confirmed the three-factor model of the MVS. Yet, three items that yielded low factor loadings in this study as well as in other MVS validation studies were excluded from the final model. In study 2, content, construct, and concurrent validity of the K-MVS were examined with 650 undergraduate student data(Sample 2). We also tested measurement invariance across two groups(i.e., college student group of Sample 2 and employee group of Sample 3). The result revealed that the three-factor model of the K-MVS hold true across the two groups. Lastly test-retest reliability was calculated with 408 female college student data(Sample 4) that filled out K-MVS twice within 6 months. These findings suggest that the K-MVS is a reliable and valid measure for assessing materialistic values in Korea.

The cultural values of the traditional way and the current cultural values of young people are very different, and the rejection of cross-cultural contact is greatly reduced because Korean young people easily accommodate other cultures of the US, Europe or Asia. At present, the cultural values of the traditional way and the current cultural values of young people are very different, and the youthfulness of Korean young people easily accepts other cultures of the US, Europe or Asia, so the resistance to cross - cultural contact is greatly reduced. The purpose of this study is to find out how the younger Korean youths are forming the change of the foreign culture and how the negotiation will proceed according to the formation of these cultures. The results of the analysis show that Korean young people have collectivism cultural rights and that they are consistent with the previous research that there is tendency to avoid uncertainty. On the other hand, there is a tendency of opposition as a result of the empirical analysis that the Koreans have a strong orientation, a high power interval, and strong masculinity. Also, as a result of analyzing the changes in Korean culture that belongs to the high background culture, Korean young people tend to be centered in the past and decision makers tend to decide by the chief executive. On the other hand, Korean young people were denied all the verifiable cultural attributes that cultural properties and communication that maintain openness to share space exposures and office space are non - verbal, tacit communication and time observation are very long and uncertain.

Originally confucianism is closer to communitarianism than to individualism. The ideal of confucianism is to realize ethical community. Chu Hsi's theory of the Song dynasty reestablishes the ideal of ethical community and dignitaries(士大夫) take the job to realize it as their own vocation. There are many developed 'family clans and kinsfolk societies', 'local covenants and sacred storehouses' and 'private academies' in the Chosun dynasty as in the Song dynasty. These communities are three kinds of axial confucian community, which are both natural ascriptive groups and voluntary contract groups in nature. Communities of Chosun dynasty are to strengthen the solidarity through friendship and mutual help as well as to cultivate good customs in society. Also these traditional communities are managed by democratic procedures, as these are originally voluntary contract groups. On the other hand, traditional neo-confucian self-training theories like that individual personality should be harmony with general order, or one should pursuit his private interest according to fair principles are the process of sublimation private individual into public citizen.
