The purpose of this study is to explore empirically the effects of the residential environments and housing consciousness on the housing tenure choice of newlyweds in the Seoul metropolitan region. Regarding the results of the empirical analysis, firstly, not only the household's attributes and housing characteristics but also the residential environments and housing consciousness were significant factors on housing tenure choice. Secondly, as a household considers worse housing quality and better environmental quality surrounding the housing, the household chose Cheonsei housing more often than owner-occupied housing. On the other hand, as a household reviews only better living condition, the selection probability of monthly rent was higher. Thirdly, as a household regards that the housing investment value was more important, the choice probability of owner-occupied housing was higher than that of other tenure types.

This paper examines the delayed situations for gender equality in South Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese families despite the challenge to the gender division of labor in modern society, and to analyze the contradiction between the notions of gender equality and the experiences women face in East Asia countries. Using EASS data, we analyze the effective difference over the division of household labor according to women's age and length of school time, attitude for gender division of labor, couple's labor time, and family network. In South Korea and Taiwan, men's actual ratio of household division is higher than Japanese men's. On the other hand, Japanese women's ratio of household division is the highest in spite of their progressive attitude for gender equality. It is due to the difference of women's working time among the countries. In South Korea and Taiwan, women tend to work in full time job, so that they seem to inevitably reduce the time for household labor. The family characteristics have an effect on the women's ratio of household division in Taiwan, and the feature of women's employment does in South Korea. The high percentage of three-generation household contributes to the reduction of housework burden in Taiwan. In South Korea, the higher women's education levels, the higher the women's ratio of household division. Women's weakened bargaining power for household labor is due to the relatively low level of high-educated women's economic participation in South Korea. This paper reveals the effective factors on the gender division of household labor. We propose the necessity of the macro-level analysis as well as the analysis of the personal and conjugal feature.

Both Korean version of TTS and child developmental questionnaire(designed by the Department of Psychiatry, Samsung Medical Center) were distributed to the parents of these children. Score of 9 temperamental categories was determined using the result of TTS, and determination of 5 temperamental clusters was conducted by the Fullard's criteria. Statistical analyses were performed according to the sex, birth order, existence of siblings, residential city, residential province, marital state of child's parents, and parental relationship to compare the scores of temperamental categories and the distribution of temperamental clusters. Results：The distribution of temperamental clusters was as follows；Easy 35.8%, Intermediate Low (IL) 33.1%, Intermediate High(IH) 11.1%, Slow-To-Warm-Up 6.3%, and Difficult 13.6%. Some of 9 temperamental categories were statistically different according to the sex, birth order, existence of siblings, residential city, residental province, marital state of child's parents, and parental relationship. From the viewpoint of 5 temperamental clusters, there were statistically more Easy and less Difficult children in good relation between each parent(p=.022). In spite of no statistical significance, the children in conditions of first-born, non-existence of siblings, middle or small residential city, Chung-Cheong province, married state of parent had a tendency to be easier to care. Conclusions：The toddler temperamental characteristics of Korean children showed some differences in several sociodemographic and family environment factors.

본 연구는 국내로의 혼인이주와 그 가정에 대한 연구로 국내로의 혼인이주의 추이와 현황을 살펴 본 후, 혼인이주자의 특성 및 혼인이주 가정의 문제와 대응방식을 분석하였다. 본 연구는 다양한 자료를 활용하였는데, 우선 통계청과 법무부의 나료와 그간 국내 선행연구의 2차 자료를 활용하였다. 그리고 본인에 의해 수행된 2004년 7월 국제결혼중매업체에 대한 인터넷조사와 2004년 3월부터 12월 사이에 수집된 서비스부문 이주여성 인터뷰 자료를 이용하였다. 이 연구의 주요 발견은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 1990년대 이후 우리 국민의 혼인이주보다 외국인의 국내로의 혼인이주가 증가하였고, 특히 중국교포를 위시한 외국인 여성의 혼인이주가 증가하였다. 둘째, 외국인 여성의 혼인이주는 90년대 초반에는 농촌 노총각의 배우자로 90년대 중반이후에는 도시 재혼자의 배우자로 선호되었다. 그리고 지방에서는 통일교를 통한 혼인이주가 많으며, 수도권에서는 국내입국을 위한 위장결혼도 많은 편이다. 셋째, 혼인이주 가정의 문제로는 가정경제의 어려움, 부부관계의 계급화, 그리고 서로 다른 기대차이를 살펴보았다. 넷째, 다른 외국인 주부에 비하여 중국교포 혼인이주 여성들은 국내에서 일자리를 쉽게 찾을 수 있으므로 가출이 더 용이하였다. 마지막으로 본 연구는 중국교포 여성의 혼인이주는 국가간의 노동이동의 범주로 파악될 수 있음을 지적하였다.

To examine group differences among four groups divided by asgression/victimization status, 655 4th graders living in Seoul reported their perceptions of peer aggression, peer victimization, personality traits, parent attachment, and their parents' marital conflict. Peers of the subjects also reported their perceptions of peer aggression and peer victimization. Based on the scores of peer aggression and peer victimization, each child was classified into one of the four groups: nonvictimized aggressors, aggressive victims, passive victims, and normative contrasts. For boys, nonvictimized aggressors were more sociable/active than both aggressive and passive victims. Aggressive victims were more shy/emotional than nonvictimized aggressors and normative contrasts, and were exposed to the highest parental marital conflict. For girls, passive victims were the least sociable/active among the four groups, and showed lower attachment to fathers than normative contrasts. Both aggressive and passive victims were more shy/emotional than nonvictimized aggressors and normative contrasts, and normative contrasts were exposed to the lowest parental marital conflict.
