In this study, the Korea Youth Policy Institute applied a self-registering model to verify the patterns of parental stress, multicultural youth psychological maladjustment, and interdependence between three factors by using five-point-time data tracked from middle school to high school. According to the analysis, First, Parent' stress at the time of the five surveys had a significant positive effect on the psychological maladjustment and the risk of academic interruption of multicultural adolescents at that point. Second, the psychological maladaptation of multicultural adolescents at the time of the previous five surveys had a significant positive effect on the risk of academic interruption at that point. Based on these analysis results, various support measures were proposed to cope with the stress of multicultural youth parents, and policy alternatives were proposed to prevent the risk of academic interruption by reducing the psychological maladjustment of multicultural youth.

This study aims to investigate the perception of public library users, who are local residences, on the multi-cultural services in public libraries using a series of statistical analyses on a questionnaire survey. The objectives of multi-cultural policies by Korean government are to foster assimilation of the multi-cultural people, social unification of Korean (local) communities, and cultural diversity in the communities. The results from the analyses show that the multi-cultural services in public libraries are understood from the unification and assimilation point of views, and that the perception of the multi-cultural services in public libraries is affected by the libraries' marketing activities, such as advertisements and participation. For the sustainable provision of the services, we suggest that the libraries would better consider 1) multi-oriented services with cultural diversity, assimilation, and social unification, 2) relationship with other multi-cultural agencies in a community, and 3) the perception of local residences on the services in public libraries.

The number of adolescents from multicultural backgrounds have been constantly increasing, and studies have shown that their acculturative stress highly affects their psychosocial development. This study aims to tap into the individual differences and find the relevant patterns in developing acculturative stress during early adolescence. Based on the stress process model, we explored the influence of moderating resources including bicultural acceptance, social support, and self-esteem, on the pattern of acculturative stress development. We also examined the difference in stress outcomes including depression, life satisfaction, and school adjustment, between the identified patterns. The participants were 1,376 multicultural adolescents in Korea who participated in the MAPS (Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study) 2, 3, 4th wave. Latent class growth analysis was conducted to examine patterns of acculturative stress development. The impact of stress moderating resources were examined using multinomial logistic regression. Analysis of variance followed to prove the difference in stress outcomes. The results demonstrated three distinct classes of acculturative stress development: increasing, decreasing, and constant-low. Social support from family and friends and self-esteem predicted the constant-low pattern of acculturative stress development. There were significant differences in the levels of adolescents' depression, life satisfaction, and school adjustment between the stress patterns. Policy support for multicultural adolescents' psychosocial development and social integration were all discussed in relation to the developmental properties of and individual differences in multicultural adolescents' acculturative stress.

As recent inflows of foreign immigrants to relatively advanced countries in Northeast Asia have rapidly increased, Japan in particular uses 'multicultural coexistance' as a key concept for developing both discourse and policies on them. This paper is first of all to suggest a new typology of multicultural societies in the world ill order to differentiate the case of Northeast Asian countries from those of Western countries. And this paper is to suggest that foreign immigrants in Japan have different positions in labor markets and living experiences according to historical and social backgrounds as well as their nationality. The transformation process towards multicultural society is not only historical and social but also geographical and spatial, as foreign immigrants have made different spatial distribution and regional segregation in types. In order to control this socio-spatial process towards multicultural society, Japan has developed the concept of 'multicultural coexistence' similar with that of multiculturalism in Western countries. This concept seems to be quite significant as it has been initiated by local communities for symbiotic relationship between foreign immigrants and native Japanese dwellers. But it can be regarded as a strategic ideology to control foreign immigrants as it targets mainly on Nikkeijin, and is usually concerned with the cultural aspect. Seen from a theoretical point of view, this concept can be seen as closed with liberal multiculturalism as opportunity equity, but far from corporative multiculturalism as outcome equity, and it is on the process transferring from the first stage of tolerance to the second stage of legislation of nondiscrimination, while being distant from the third stage of legislation paradigmization of recognition, and hence appears to be easily reverted to assimilationism.
