The purpose of this study is to analyze the effective factors that influence subjective cognition, conflict degree of work-family balance, and cognition of family strength according to general characteristic factors, working environmental factors, and home environmental factors, as well as analyze the relationships among subjective cognition, conflict degree, and cognition of family strength. The main data source for analysis in this study is the Second National Survey of Korean Families by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family in 2010. The survey includes the analysis of 419 respondents who have a dual income and live with their wife. The collected data are analyzed using SPSS 19.0. The results of the study are as follows. First, subjective cognition of work-family balance is influenced by satisfaction of work, division of housework, and care of family. Second, the conflict degree of work-family balance is influenced by age, working week, and satisfaction with work. Third, the relationship between subjective cognition and conflict degree of work-family balance is a negative correlation. The relationship between subjective cognition of work-family balance and cognition of family strength is a positive correlation but the difference between conflict degree of work-family balance and cognition of family strength is not significant. Finally, for the married men, the working environmental factor is a significant factor for the work-family balance. And the higher the satisfaction of work and division of domestic work, the greater is the balance between work and family. This suggests that they also have a higher cognition of family strength.

가까운 미래의 가정에서는 여러 기능을 가진 로봇이 등장하여 사람과 늘기도 하고 집도 지키는 방범활동도 수행하는 등 공상과학영화 속의 일들이 현실로 다가올 것이다. 핵가족화와 맞벌이 부부의 증가로 어린이들이 혼자 집에 있는 시간이 많아졌으며 이에 불안을 느낀 학부모들은 자녀들을 학원 등의 사설교육기관에 맡겨 사교육비의 증가가 사회문제로 대두되고 있다. 그러나 가정에서 부모와 떨어져 있는 동안의 어린이의 생활을 보여주거나 학습을 도와주는 로봇이 가정에 있다면 부모들은 안심하고 직장생활에 더욱 충실하게 될 것이며 사교육비의 감소현상에도 기여할 수 있을 것이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 가정용 로봇이 서비스하게 될 기능들 중에 초등학교 어린이의 학습을 도울 수 있는 기능에 초점을 맞추어 설문을 통해 요구를 조사하고 분석하였으며 홈 로봇과 사용자간의 메뉴를 크게 일정관리, 학습관리, 학습, 메신저 등의 카테고리로 분류하여 각 항목별로 세부 서비스 내용을 체계화하였다. 로봇을 활용한 학습 도우미 시스템의 설계는 앞으로 무한한 부가가치를 창조하게 될 로봇산업의 발달과 새로운 형태의 교육을 가능하게 하는데 큰 기여를 하게 될 것이다.

The link between work life and family life is an essential subject matter in understanding the lives of dual-earner couples. Concepts of spillover and crossover explain the link between work and family. The present study examines both the positive and negative aspects in these processes. The data come from the Sloan Working Families Study conducted by the Alfred P. Sloan Center on Parents, Children, and Work and NORC at the University of Chicago. The Experience Sampling Method employed explores directly the daily life experiences of the participants. The data were analysed using t-test. Both spillover and crossover were found in the lives of dual-earner couples in this study. Men and women brought happy emotions at work to home, but the data provide limited support for spillover of negative emotions. Gender differences were more apparent in examining the process of crossover. Men appear responsive to the positive and negative emotional experiences their spouse brought home while women were found not to be responsive to their spouses' positive emotional experiences at work. Furthermore, the analysis revealed an interesting trend concerning the emotions of working couples in that they generally seem to recover to their average level of emotions once home. This suggests that home can be a respite from strong emotions, a comforting place. By looking closely into the emotions experienced by working parents in their daily lives, this study adds contextual understanding concerning the link between work and family life. The findings on the effects of positive experiences at work invite social work practitioners and researchers to further investigate the phenomena of spillover and crossover processed in greater detail, taking into account this contextual aspect of family life as well as the work life of dual-earner couples.

최근 한 자녀 가정이 늘어나면서 아동의 정서적 안정을 위해 반려동물을 키우는 가정이 늘고 있다. 그러나 맞벌이, 알레르기 등 기타 요인으로 실제 동물을 키우기 힘든 환경의 가정이 많다. 본 연구에서는 인터렉티브 동물 장난감이 반려동물의 대안이 될 수 있는지 조사해 보고 그의 필요성과 발전 방향을 모색한다. 만 4세~9세 자녀를 둔 10개 가구를 대상으로 Ethnography 연구조사를 통해 다각도로 관찰하여 결론을 제시한다. 인터렉티브 동물 장난감의 외형 및 목적에 따라 두 개의 그룹으로 나누어 부모를 통한 근접 관찰 및 아동과 부모의 사전/사후 설문 등을 통해 현재 인터렉티브 동물 장난감이 아동에게 줄 수 있는 영향을 분석해 보고, 아동과 정서적 상호작용을 하는 목적으로 발전하기 위한 방향성을 제시한다.

인구 및 가구구성원의 변화, 그에 따른 라이프 스타일의 변화로 국민의 주거환경이 다양한 형태로 변모하고 있어 기존과는 다른 형태의 새로운 정보제공 모델이 필요하게 되었다. 현대인의 바쁜 사회활동과 맞벌이 부부 및 노인인구의 증가는 우리의 가정에 점차 언제 어디서나 네트워크로 연결되어 누구나 안심하고 쉽게 주거공간 내에서 비즈니스, 건강, 교육, 오락 등의 활동을 제공할 수 있는 서비스에 대한 욕구를 확대시키고 있다. 또한 최근의 IT서비스 환경은 전화서비스, 인터넷접속서비스와 방송서비스가 융합되어 소위 "Triple Play" 서비스의 가치가 부상하면서 홈네트워크 서비스라는 새로운 패러다임으로의 전환을 예고하고 있다.(중략)

As the number os working-class households has increased and As the number of working-class households has increased and the birth rate has decreased, more than a third of all elementary school students are left alone. While elementary schools across the nation have implemented a policy of after-school care, even that has reduced the number of classrooms in the government. As such, parents cannot avoid leaving their children alone at home and wonder about their day. For these parents and older elementary school students, they came up with a service that allows them to plan and implement their own work. The service enables children to develop self-regulating learning skills and allows them to receive feedback through the app on what plans and practices a child left alone at home is planning.

The 4th industrial revolution came deep into family life and changed the way of housework and care. The change in the family caused by the technological change of the 4th industrial revolution is remarkable in terms of socialization of housework. In this study, the socialization of housework, which is accelerating in the era of the 4th industrial revolution, was examined focusing on the change in the aspect of "household service" through the "platform". Since 2015, when technological changes in the 4th industrial revolution began to decline, related newspaper articles were extracted for daily and economic newspapers nationwide and analyzed big data. The results of big data analysis show that the platform economy using the 4th industrial revolution technology is rapidly spreading the socialization of housework not only at the business level but also at the public policy level. It has been confirmed that support for household services through the platform is growing into a new business area of companies, and at the public policy level, it is being treated as an important policy task in supporting work-family balance or responding to infectious diseases. This study is meaningful in that it provided an opportunity to reflect on the roles and tasks of the family, market, and state for housework and care in the future through changes in housework and care caused by the 4th industrial revolution technology.
