The purpose of this study is to offer suggestions to help immigrated youths of multicultural families become successful members of Korean society while preparing to enter schools or becoming involved in social activities. The study examined the following three issues using grounded theory: (1) the characteristics of cultural adaptation for immigrated youths of multi-cultural families; (2) their acculturation processes; and (3) their different patterns of acculturation experience. The process of acculturation involves (1) feeling timid, (2) feeling regretful and angry, (3) looking around and making an attempt, (4) feeling difficulty and feeling left out, (5) accepting reality and seeing Korea in a positive light. The core of acculturation among the immigrated youths of multicultural families is a limited living in an unfamiliar culture. Five acculturation patterns were found in the current study: (1) Someone who is actively striving for future dreams; (2) someone who adjusts himself/herself to circumstances without plans; (3) someone who passively makes an effort; (4) someone who accepts reality to continue education; and (5) someone who temporarily stays for financial reasons.

거의 해마다 내습하는 태풍위험을 제주지역 농부들이 어떻게 인식하고 그에 적응하고 있는지 아울러 이와같이 연례행사처럼 발생하는 태풍재해 문제 해결에 있어 정부관계기관의 역할에 대한 그들의 인식은 어떠한가를 살펴보는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 우선 위 연구과제를 살피기 위하여 다음과 같은 세 가지 가설이 전제되었다. 첫째, 태풍과 같은 자연발생적 위협과 빈번한 접촉내지 오랜 경험은 인간에게 위험과 손실을 준다는 자각으로 이끌며 또한 장차 발생의 정확한 예측에 비교적 밀접한 관계를 갖는다. 그리고 이러한 경험들은 그와같은 자연발생적 위협으로부터 일시 피하거나 위협지역으로부터 아주 떠나 버린다기 보다 오히려 적응이라는 선택을 취한다. 둘째, 인간이 이와같은 위협지역 제주도와 같이 사회문화적인 특성이 뚜렷한 지역에 삶의 터전을 가지고 있는 것은 경제적 요인에서라기보다도 사회문화적 바탕에서 그 원인을 찾을 수 있다. 셋째로, 정부의 이와같은 자연발생적 재해문제 해결은 해당 지역 거주주민들과 보다 긴밀한 컴뮤니케이션과 함께 정부나 컴뮤니티를 통한 자연재해에 관한 계몽교육을 강화함으로서 그 역할이 효과적으로 수행될 수 있다. 총 113명의 농업을 주업으로 하는 가구주들을 제주도의 상습태풍재해지구에서 무작위 단게별군집(Random-cluster Stratified Sampling)방법에 의하여 선별하고 태풍위협에 대한 개인별 재해인식과 인간 적응을 알아보기 위하여 작성된 설문서를 통하여 각기 면담, 연구분석자료가 수집되었다. 제주농부들의 태풍에 대한 자각과 적응은 제주도 나름의 풍토에서 오랜 삶의 경험을 토대로 얻어진 결과라는 것이 입증되었다. 한편, 장차 태풍 내습에 대한 그들의 예측은 상당히 정확하였으며, 태풍재해에 대한 적응은 동기적이고 예방적 즉, 농부들은 재해의 근원적 소멸을 위해 재해지역을 떠난다기보다 오히려 피해를 감수하고 있었으며 또한 그들의 기본 영농방법이나 작물의 대체를 급격히 전환한다기 보다 부분적으로 수정, 변경시켜 나가고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 그들의 적응과정은 현대적 영농기술과 그들 특유의 전통적 방법을 혼합 병행하고 있었으며 가족이나 친척 이웃과의 유대관계가 재해지역에 거주하는 지배적 이유로 나타났다. 또 한편, 해당연구지역 농부들은 태풍피해에 대한 정부의 보조를 알고는 있으나 그것이 재해문제를 해결하는데 있어서 효율적이라고 생각치 않고 있다. 그들은 더욱 많은 재정적 보조를 희망하는 것만큼 연례저긍로 내습, 피해를 주고 있는 태풍재해 문제에 대한 정부의 적극적이고 좀더 효과적 예방 대책을 요구하고 있다.

This study is tried to confirm the effect of practical education environment and practical stress perceived by nursing college students who have experienced clinical practice on department adaptation. The subjects of the study were 154 nursing students who experienced clinical practice at nursing universities in Area C. As a result of the study, there was a positive correlation between the practical education environment perceived by nursing students and department adaptation (r=.43, p=.001), a negative correlation between practical stress and department adaptation (r=-.15, p=.012). The practical education environment and practical stress were identified as factors influencing nursing students' adaptation to the department. Therefore, in order to positively improve the practical education environment, it is necessary to continuously train related factors that can help adapt to field practice and prepare measures to improve the practical education environment through close cooperation with practice institutions.

This study examined the relationships between place attachment to home, acculturative stress, and psychological adjustment among Korean youth in the United States. In particular, this study sought to better understand how place attachment to home and acculturation stress impacts upon youth's psychological adjustment, as measured by depression and self-esteem. The subjects consisted of 225 Korean youths (113 males and 111 females) residing in Michigan in the USA, of whom 47.6% attended middle school while 52.4% of whom attended high school. The instruments utilized were the acculturative stress scale (Sandhu and Asrabadi, 1994), the place attachment scale (Choi, Lee, & Han, 2009), Radloff's depression scale (CES-D), and Rosenberg's self-esteem scale. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were used to assess the predictive effects of place attachment to home and acculturative stress on youth's psychological adjustment, alongside controlling demographic variables. The findings indicated that place attachment to home and acculturative stress impacted upon depression and self-esteem, as experienced by the youths examined. These results have implications for our understanding of the importance of both youths' place attachment to home and acculturative stress in the acculturation process.

The main purpose of this study was to examine the effect of demographic variables (gender, SES, period of residence in Korea, place of residence, type of program, Korean ability), self-esteem, and acculturative stress on the college adaptation of international college students in Korea. 346 (196 male, 150 female) students from three universities in Jeollanam province completed the Self-Esteem, Acculturative Stress Scale for International Students and The Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ). While gender had no influence on the college adaptation of international college students, SES, period of residence in Korea, place of residence, type of program and Korean ability had significant influences. Also it was found that acculturative stress, type of program, self-esteem and place of residence had significant influence on academic adaptation whereas self-esteem, acculturative stress, type of program, and Korean ability had significant influences on social adaptation. Related to emotional adaptation, acculturative stress, place of residence, and self-esteem were significant variables. Finally, acculturative stress, type of program, self-esteem and place of residence were significant variables of institutional attachment.

This study examines the North Korean defectors' economic and psychological adjustment status in South Korean society focusing on the specificity of North Korean defectors with the social integration perspective. We conducted a questionnaire survey of 225 North Korean defectors in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do and conducted analysis using the SPSS 22.0 program. The results of the study are as follows. First, the economic adaptation of North Korean defectors was evaluated to be generally low. Second, North Korean refugees' psychological and social adjustment status is generally lower than average, especially cultural adaptation stress, friendship, and satisfaction with physical and mental health. Third, the psychological and cultural adaptation strategy and social support of defectors affected the life satisfaction positively and the adaptation stress had significant negative impact on life satisfaction. Therefore, strategies which reducing adaptive stress and enhancing psychological and cultural adaptation strategies are needed to be implemented in South Korean society. Based on results, policy alternatives were discussed.
