이 연구의 목적은 아동의 연령과 성에 따른 아동의 역량지각 발달의 경향을 조사하고, 연령, 성을 포함한 가정환경과 또래 환경의 변수들의 역량지각에 미치는 영향을 구조평형 모델을 통해 알아 보았다. 또한, 이러한 역량지각의 발달 성향을 서구 문화권과 비교하여, 역량지각발달의 문화적 보편성이나 차이점을 알아 보고자 하였다. 유아, 또는 초등학교 저학년 아동은 면접으로, 그리고 3학년이상은 설문지를 사용하였다. 조사 대상은 유아, 초등학교 1, 3, 5학년, 중학교 1학년 아동 750명과 그들의 어머니이다. 인지, 사회, 신체 영역에서 모두 역량지각은 연령이 증가할수록 낮아졌다. 인지, 신체 영역의 역량지각에선 연령과 성의 상호작용효과가 나타났다. 그러나, 서구 문화권의 연구에서는 이러한 상호작용이 발견되지 않는다. 역량지각의 공변량구조모형에서는 또래환경 변수가 모두 포함시키기에 부적합한 변수로 나타났고, 연령, 성과 가족의 수입, 아버지의 교육수준, 가정의 물리적 환경, 부모의 정서적 지지가 아동의 역량지각에 의미 있게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구의 목적은 알코올 중독 가정내에서 성장한 성인자녀들의 생활만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인들간의 인간관계를 설명해 줄수 있는 원인-결과 모델을 개발하고 그모델의 적합성에 대해 연구되어졌다. 본연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. :1) 사회적 지원의 활용성 정도에 대한 인식이 높은 자녀들의 경우 정서적으로 불안정한 상태를 보이는 경향이 있으며 ;2) 사회적 지원의 활용성에 대한 인식정도가 높은 성인자녀들의 경우 어려운 상황을 잘 극복해 나가는 성향을 보여Th ; 3) 위기 대처 능력이 뛰어난 성인자녀들의 경우 생활만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. ; 마지막으로 4) 정서적으로 안정된 성인자녀들의 경우 그들의 삶에 대한 적응도가 높은 경향을 보였다. 본 연구에서는 또한 사회적지원과 성인자녀들의 정서적 상태간의 부정적 상관관계에 대해 논의 되었으며 이 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 미래의 연구방향 및 상담현장에서 본 연구내용의 실제활용등에 대해서도 논의되었다.

Major studies of Home Economics have had an intention to keep the standard scientific perspective based on value-free and positivism. But in the early 20C there was a change within scientific philosophy and the holistic perspective has risen in the part of scocial and natural science. The phenomenon dealt in the field of Home Economics is the interaction between human and environment and it regards human and family behavior in the context of the environment as a major object. This interaction can be micro/macro and objectiv $e_jective, So it has a very complex trait. The goal of this study is to verify the applicability of Human Ecology as an alternative framework to explain each level of the family phenomena. Further it is concluded that it is very efficient to present Human Ecology as a general theory for Home Economics because there are increasing demands for understanding interdependence and persuing for balanced co-existence between human and encironment. Finally this study concludes that Human Ecology is not a past theory but a very comprehensive one to construct and abstract theory-building.ng.

For this purpose, 'oikonomia'-that was used by aristotle-was analyzed and the process of the change of the term 'oikonomia' after modern society was considered. according to the results of this study, it is known that economic perspective has been enhanced in study in home living. the enhancement of the economic perspective in grasping home resulted in the limit of understanding of the meaning and nature of home. It was suggested that we should take more interest in 'economy' on the basis of 'oikonomia' than in 'home economics' which is based o 'economics', philosophical study rather than empirical study these subjects should be adequate.
