This study examines how the family background and educational aspiration of adolescents affect the usage pattern of internet among adolescents. Recently, the focus of studies on digital divides shifts from the gap in the access to the internet to the difference in usage pattern of internet. Building on these studies, this study deals with the concerns that the difference in usage pattern of internet among adolescents potentially lead to the reproduction of social inequality across the generations. The analysis of the Korean Youth Panel Study reveals that the higher educational attainment and higher income level of parents, the children tend to spend more time in searching with the internet and spend less time in doing the internet game. The level of educational aspiration exerts similar effects on internet use of adolescents. The results also show that the effects of educational apsiration is larger among older adolescents. The implications and limitations of this study are discussed.

This study analyzed the factors affecting the reemployment intention of the baby boomer. To this end, an extended Model of Goal-directed Behaviors(MGB) was set as a research model. The extended MGB used in this study added economic readiness and social capital to attitudes, subjective norms, positive anticipated emotions, and perceived behavioral control variables as independent variables. The desires was set as a mediating and the reemployment intention was set as the dependent variable. The research model was empirically analyzed with 201 baby boomers. Empirical analysis showed that economic preparation had a negative effect on reemployment intention, and social capital had a positive effect on reemployment intention. Economic preparation rather than social capital was found to have a stronger impact on the intention of reemployment. Attitudes, subjective norms, positive anticipated emotions, and perceived behavioral control variables were not tested for a significant direct effect on reemployment intention. They were found to have a significant influence on reemployment intention through the mediating of desires. Based on the results of this empirical analysis, academic and practical implications were presented.

This study examines gender differentials in depression among Korean older adults. Using logistic regression and decomposition methods, this study analyzes factors that predict depression of a full sample and separate male/female samples, respectively. Further, this study decomposes factors that affect gender differentials in depression into two components: the distributions of individual variables and the returns to risk. This study finds the variables that separately predict depression by gender. For male, having a smaller social network is associated with depression; however for female, the number of falls is associated with depression. This study also finds that being married, having greater satisfaction with current financial situation, and having good physical health increases the gap between males' and females'depression. Married male have greater returns from marriage than females. If females had the same returns as male, then the gap would have decreased by about 40%.

As we are entering the information society, there are increasing concerns about information gaps which are believed to create serious obstacles to social integration and development. Previous studies on the information gaps in Korea, despite their contributions to our understanding of the issue, appear to be descriptive. This study attempts to analyze the relative importance of residential area, gender, age education, and household income for information gaps and their changes in recent years. Based on the data from two surveys conducted by the Information Culture Center, the study run multivariate logit model analysis of the sue of computer and internet. The result shows that all the variables except residential area have influences on the use of computer and internet. In terms of time change, gender-based difference in the use of digital media has decreased between 1998 and 2000 while the differences by all the other variables have remained constant or increased.

GREEN, ECO and RENEWABLE ENERGY..아마 최근 가장 큰 화두가 되는 단어들일 것이다. 우리나라 역시 이번정부의 경제살리기는 다름 아닌 '녹색성장'이 핵심이다.. 현재 정부가 강력하게 추진 중인 사업인 4대강 살리기 등은 바로 녹색성장의 대표적인 사례이다. 성장은 하되 환경에 대한 중요성을 바탕으로 하자는 것이다. 기후변화에 대한 논의가 시작된 이래 수많은 전문가들에 의해 기후변화에 대한 논리적 그리고 객관적인 근거를 제시하고자 노력하였다. 반면 기후변화가 지나친 우려라고 반론을 제기하는 전문가도 적지 않다. 어떤 논리가 맞는지는 아무도 모른다. 본고에서 역시 어떤 논리가 맞는지에 대한 논의는 피하고자 한다. 지금 현재의 변화(평균온도의 상승, 집중강우의 증가 및 가뭄 등)들이 과연 확실한 기후변화의 징후인지 아닌지는 어느 누구도 증명하기 어렵기 때문이다. 다만 이것들을 장기적인 기후변의 추세로 받아들인다면 과연 우리의 국가 경제에 어떤 영향을 미칠지에 대한 것은 검토는 반드시 되어야 할 것이다. 기후변화에 대비해서 가장 먼저 해야 할 일은 우리나라에 도래할 기후변화 시나리오에 대한 보다 신뢰성 높은 검토이다. 그리고 이를 위해서는 우리나라에 올 수 있는 기후변화 시나리오를 예측하고 증명할 수 있는 기술의 개발 또한 시급하다. 그 다음에 수반되는 것이 바로 시나리오에 따른 사회경제적 파급효과, 즉 기후변화가 초래하는 사회경제적인 비용이 어디서 어떻게 발생할 수 있는 지에 대한 평가이다. 정부의 정책은 결국 기후변화로 인한 사회적인 비용을 최소화하기 위한 것이고 결과적으로 어떤 사회적인 비용이 초래될 것인가를 예측하고 이에 대한 정책과 기술개발의 방향이 설정되어야 하는 것이다. 본 연구는 현재 선진국들이 기후변화를 어떻게 다루고 있는지에 대한 고찰을 통해 향후 우리나라가 기후변화 대비 무엇을 어떻게 해야 하는지에 대한 제안을 하고자 하였다.

The purpose of this study is to find out the factors that affect the prognosis of conduct disorder in the adolescents. According to the nature or behavioral problems during 6 months after discharge, the good prognosis group(N=37) and the poor prognosis group(N= 36) were selected and scores of Youth Self Report(YSR), MMPI, KWIS were compared between both groups. The following results were obtained. 1) In family environmental factors, no significant difference was found between both groups. 2) In YSL total problem score, score of externalizing syndrome and score of delinquent behavior were significantly higher in the poor prognosis group. 3) In MMPI, no significant difference was found between both groups. 4) In KWIS, total 1.0. did not show significant differences between both groups. Our hypothesis that the prognosis of conduct disorder in adolescent is poorer in cases with higher quantities of problematic behaviors is certified.

본 연구는 미 L-A에 거주하는 한국이민 노인들의 특성을 파악하고, 그들의 생활만족도에 기여하는 결정요소들이 무엇인지 가려내며, 그 얻어진 결과를, 동일한 시각과 접근으로 시도되었던 미국 노인들에 대한 선행연구들의 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 연구는 1986년 12월에서 1987년 2월까지 3개월간 미 L-A 카운티에서 거주하는 55세 이상의 한국 이민노인 390명을 대상으로 설문지 조사를 실시하여 그중 192명을 자료분석에 사용하였다. 단계별 중다 회귀분석의 결과, 활동성의 제약정도, 결혼상태, 재정적인 안정, 교육정도, 연령증가 등 5가지 변인들의 특별히 한국노인의 생활만족도가 강한 연관성이 있었고, 반면 자신들이 평가한 건강상태, 지인과의 사회적인 상호작용, 미국거주 년한 등은 노후생활의 안녕에 전혀 직접적인 영향력을 행사하지 못했다. 그러나 자신들이 평가하는 건강상태는, 활동성의 제약 등과 같은 다른 변인에 미치는 효과를 통해서 생활만족도에 간접적으로 강하게 영향을 미치고 있었다. 이러한 결과를 선행연구에서 나타난 서구나 미국노인의 생활만족도 결정의 세 요인인 건강상태, 사회경제적 지위, 사회적 활동성과 비교해 볼때, 사회적 활동성과 연령증가 변인에서 서로 상반되는 대조를 보이고 있었다. 즉, 백인노인들은 나이가 듦에 따라 생활만족도가 낮아지거나 혹은, 연령증가와 생활만족도 사이에 별로 유의할 만한 관계를 보이지 않고 있으나, 본 연구에서의 한국노인은 나이를 먹으면서 오히려 생활만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 사회적 활동성은, 백인노인의 생활만족도에 긍정적 혹을 부정적으로 가장 강하게 영향을 미치는 요인중 하나임에 반하여, 한국노인들은 이것이 자신들의 생활만족에 중요한 것이라 믿고는 있었지만 실제 통계학적으로는 영향력을 행사하지 못하는 요인이었다. 주거환경(자식과의 동거여부) 역시, 이제껏 한국사회에서 기대되어왔던 통념과는 달리, 한국노인의 생활만족도에 아무런 영향을 주지 못하고 있었다.

This study aimed to identify demographic variables(gender, age group, occupation, living arrangement, economic level, respiratory and chronic diseases, previous medical history), COVID-19 variables(COVID-19 prevention behavior, frequent use of media to obtain COVID-19 information), and psychological behavioral variables(depression, anxiety, loneliness, and increased drinking). From February to March 2021, an online survey of adults was conducted, and a total of 1,434 data were used for analysis. 260 out of 1,434 people were confirmed to have suicide ideation, the prevalence of suicide ideation among adults during the COVID-19 was 18.1%. Logistic regression analyses indicated elevated odds of suicidal ideation among individuals in their 20s and 30s, those living alone, exhibiting fewer COVID-19 preventive behaviors, consuming COVID-19 information more frequently through media, and reporting higher levels of loneliness. Furthermore, within the group experiencing depression, anxiety, and increased drinking, greater levels of these factors correlated with higher odds of suicidal ideation. Based on the results, implications and significance of the study were discussed.

The aim of this study is to enhance the level of life satisfaction of the elderly as the aging population grows in readiness for increased old age, beginning with interest in improving the quality of life of the elderly. For this purpose, the subtype of preparation for aging was set as multi-independent variables by organizing it into physical preparation for aging, economic preparation for aging, and emotional & social preparation for aging. Structural relationships between variables was identified by social support a parameter variable and life satisfaction a dependent variable. It was also verified that the social support between subtypes of preparation for aging and life satisfaction had a mediating effect. The subjects of this study are 4,058 elderly people who are over the age of 65. They were originally extracted from the 3rd and 5th additional survey of Korean Retirement and Income Study. For data analysis purposes, SPSS 25.0 and SPSS PROCESS macro v2.16 were used. The results of this study are as followed. The emotional & social preparation for aging not only had a significant direct effect on successful aging, but also resulted in indirect effect on successful aging through life satisfaction. On the basis of the results, this study provided the social welfare policy and practical suggestions to enhance the preparation for aging and social support, which are the key to improving life satisfaction of the elderly.
