This research analyzed the contents of the high school home economics textbooks within the 7th Curriculum from three theoretical viewpoints: structure functionalism family development and healthy family. A quantitative and in-depth content analysis were carried out with the six elements of family structure, family role, family relation, family life cycle, adjustment to the aged, marriage and childbirth. From the in-depth analysis, a healthy family viewpoint was reflected in the family structure, family role, adjustment to the aged, marriage and childbirth elements and a structure functionalist viewpoint was found in the family relation element. The family life cycle elements reflected a strong tendency of family development theory. The quantitative content analysis consisting of pictures, illustrations, examples indicated that a structure functional viewpoint was prevalent in both the family structure and family role elements. Overall, structure functionalism and healthy family viewpoint were reflected at similar level in the textbook. Implications for curriculum development, teaching methods and future study were suggested.

The purpose of this study was to have a phenomenological understanding of the experiences in the marital relationship after the first baby is born. For this purpose, thirteen couples (marriage duration of less than five years; within three years of the child birth) were recruited and semi-structured interviews were conducted. The interview data were analyzed through the open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. In the next step, we derived the marital relationship paradigm after the first baby arrived. The causal/situational conditions that caused changes in the marital relationship were the parenting burden and the marital adjustment level. The central phenomena were parenting and housework burden, which were moderated by the husbands' support. The action/interaction strategies were couple's high awareness and acceptance for their new role and pursuit of the shared meaning of the family. When the strategies were successful, a deeply satisfying feeling and shared values could be obtained. Finally, we identified the core category to integrate of other categories into a conceptual framework, and that is 'the awareness and acceptance for their new role and the pursuit of a sense of We-ness'.

본 연구는 초기재혼부부의 결혼생활유지에 자기분화, 부부갈등대처방식에 미치는 효과의 프로그램을 개발하기 위한 사전 연구로서 재혼부부를 대상으로 자기분화, 부부갈등대처방식이 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 연구하고자 한다. 요구도 조사를 위한 포커스 인터뷰 대상은 서울과 경기도 수도권에 사는 부부이고 나이는 30세 이상에서 62세 미만을 선정하였으며, 재혼생활 기간이 1년 이상 6년 미만의 실질적 경험이 있는 부부를 선정하였으며, 부부 한쪽이라도 배우자가 전혼관계를 통해 자녀가 있는 복합가정을 선정하였다. 본 연구는 재혼부부를 대상으로 2017년 4월 4일부터 5월 25일까지 포커스 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 1회기에 100분씩 총 2회기로 개별적 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 포커스 인터뷰를 실시한 결과, 재혼부부들은 원가족에서 형성된 미분화로 역기능적인 습관들이 삼각관계를 형성하고 불안을 더욱 증폭시켰다. 부부가 문제해결을 하는 상황에서 낮은 자아분화 수준으로 표현하며 갈등을 더욱 고조시켰다. 낮은 자기분화수준은 갈등관계에서 자신을 이성과 감정을 분리하지 못하고 감정적으로 반응하기도 하며, 환경에 흡수되는 부정적 갈등 대처방식에도 영향을 미쳤다. 재혼부부에게 가장 취약한 면이 부부간 친밀감이며 유대관계이다. 전혼에서 상처와 부정적 정서로 인해 부부 신뢰감이 취약하였다. 비교적 짧은 재혼기간의 영향과 여러 갈등 요소 인 경제적 갈등, 계부모-친부모의 갈등, 계부모-계자녀의 갈등, 전 배우자와의 갈등, 부부간 잠재적 갈등 등으로 인해 친근한 부부유대관계를 맺지 못하는 어려움을 호소하기도 하였다. 특히 전혼관계의 배우자에 대한 부정적 경험이 남아 있을 경우 현재 배우자를 신뢰하지 못하는 갈등이 영향을 주고 있었다. 그로 인한 부부갈등의 악순환을 초래하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 재혼부부의 결혼생활유지를 돕는 자기분화, 갈등대처방식에 미치는 통합적 프로그램을 구성하려고 하는 필요성을 시사하는 것이다. 점진적으로 재이혼은 증가하여 부부 및 가족 구성원인 또 다시 부정적 영향을 미치고, 사회문제로 확산될 수 있음을 시사한다. 예방적 차원에서 재혼부부의 결혼생활유지 프로그램에 대한 필요성을 시사한다.

This study aimed to explore the social networks which married immigrant women have in Korea. Special attention was paid to factors such as individual, family, and migrant characteristics contributing to the different patterns of social networks. I drew upon the nationally representative data on 60,719 immigrant women married to Korean men from the '2009 Survey on Korean National Survey on Multicultural Families.' Results showed that the foreign wives tended to maintain a connection with our society through contact with their neighbors and participation in social gatherings. Findings also showed that the types of social networks by the number of trusted neighbors and meetings were diverse among the immigrant women. In addition, the factors differentiating the types were mostly associated with socioeconomic resources or Korean proficiency. More interestingly, the immigrant women's contacts with their family members in their homeland contributed to their maintenance of more active social networks. These results provided a useful outlook on the relationship between patterns of social networks and the characteristics of the married immigrant women, which eventually showed a heterogeneous nature among them. At the societal level, supportive systems for enriching immigrant women's social networks should be developed particularly in terms of not their dependency, but their potential contributions to our society.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore perceived meanings of dating and marriage among well-educated Korean couples who were in optimal marriageable ages. Particularly, an emphasis was placed on finding out where the traditional gender norms and post-modern contexts intersect on the couples' course of dating and marriage. Method: We undertook a qualitative analysis of 8 couples (age: 26-34) dating. Participants were limited to university graduates of upper-middle rank universities in Seoul, South Korea. The rationale for choosing such sample was based on the idea that characteristics of class is inherent in the act of dating and marriage, and that such characteristics lead to different contextual experiences in dating and marriage. This study was based on interviews conducted over a three-month time span. The interviews were first transcribed into research text and then subjects and key categories were drawn from the transcripts for analysis. Results: Participants sought meanings of joy, learning, and self-improvement in dating, and they were free from traditional gender norms in their romantic relationships. They viewed marriage as having a permanent companionship with their partner, becoming independent from their parents, and/or a social norm to be followed. Participants reported mixed perceptions about marriage in such fashion that they described their parents' relationship in terms of a gendered leader-supporter relationship, while viewing their own relationship as being genderless partners. In transition to parenthood, however, they regressed to traditional gender norms dichotomized as women being a homemaker and men being a breadwinner. In sum, participants displayed expectations that were inconsistent with regard to dating and marriage over the study period. That is, during the course of dating and early marriage, they did not hold separated gender norms; however, when transitioning from being a newly married couple to giving their first childbirth, expectations shifted to traditional gender norms and values. Conclusion: This suggests that it is not marriage, but the experience of childbirth and motherhood, which strengthen traditional gendered norms, engendering regeneration of the gender norms in families. The results indicate that there is a need to promote co-parenting behavior among the newly-married couples and to educate gender equality about parent roles or for parents in South Korea so that they can overcome traditional gendered norms in family.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the convergence factors to posttraumatic growth(PTG) in survivors with female urogenital neoplasm survivors. A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 141 female urogenital neoplasm survivors via e-mail from September to October, 2016. The questionnaire consisted of PTG inventory, illness intrusiveness rating scale, cancer coping, family cohesion evaluation scale, and medical outcomes study social support survey. The data were analyzed by ANOVA, Pearson-correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Total score of PTG was 84.13points and statistically significant according to age, religion, marital status and positively associated with coping, family cohesion and social support. Results of the regression analysis showed religion(${\beta}=.127$), marital status(${\beta}=.081$), coping(${\beta}=.232$) and family cohesion(${\beta}=.415$), it were explained 44.7%. This study indicates that it is important to understand general characteristics of personal. And a convergent approach is needed to promote PTG by hospital and community.
