Studies of elder abuse are increasing in our country since the 1990s. But few studies have researched how older people may perceive and give meaning to the phenomenon of elder abuse. Old people have been alienated from their own problems. Elder abuse was constructed as a social problem by experts, not by older people themselves. The purpose of this study was to explore the older people's perceptions ell the meaning of elder abuse and interventions for it, using a qualitative approach based on the grounded theory. The findings from in-depth interviews with 10 the elderly were as follows: The elderly participated in this study has been constructing the aged as independence, privacy, and carer, which conflicts the existing social construction of the aged. They also had their own definition of elder abuse. They perceived all the psycho-emotional sufferings as major elder abuse. So, they understood that elder abuse was the pervasive problem which everyone would experience. They proposed that desirable interventions for it was to guarantee and to sustain their existing independent living.

본 연구는 환경지향제품구매와 재활용행동을 설명하기 위한 것으로 Schwartz 가 제기한 규범이론에 관한 이론고찰과 실증분석을 병행하고 있다. 규범이론의 핵심은 사회규범을 개인의 행동으로 전환시키는 과정을 설명하는 것이다. 규범이론에 따르면 환경지향제품구매와 재활용과 같은 이타적 행동은 사람들이 일종의 추상적이고 객관적인 방식으로 동의하는 도덕적 행동에 관한 사회규범으로 시작된다. 그러나 사회규범은 행동을 지배하기에는 너무 일반적이고 소원하다. 따라서 이러한 사회규범은 개인적 차원에서 우리들 각 개인에게 적응되어 개인규범이 된다. 사회규범은 사회적 구조의 차원에서 존재하는 반면 개인규범은 강력하게 내면화 된 도덕적 태도가 된다. 개인이 규범을 내면화 했지만 이에 따라 행동하지 않을 수도 있는 데 상황에 적절하도록 개인규범이 정의되어야 한다. 규범이론은 주어진 상황에 적절하도록 사회규범을 개인규범으로 정의하도록 유도하기 위해서는 바로 행동결과지각과 책임귀인지각이 개입되어야 한다고 제기하고 있다. 본 연구는 이상의 규범이론에 근거하여 소비자의 환경지향제품구매행동과 재활용행동을 설명하고자 다음 세 가지 연구목적을 설정하였다. 첫째, 사회규범이 개인규범의 형성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가? 둘째, 사회규범이 내면화 된 개인규범은 환경지향제품구매행동과 재활용행동에 직접적인 영향을 미치는가? 셋째, 규범이론은 조절변수가 개입되는 경우 개인규범이 행동으로 전환되는 것이 더욱 용이해진다고 제기한 바, 조절변수의 하나인 환경지향행동결과의 중요성지각의 영향을 검증하고자 한다. 연구결과, 환경문제가 개입된 상황에서 사회규범은 개인규범의 형성에 강한 영향을 미치며 개인규범은 다시 환경지향제품구매와 재활용행동에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 환경지향행동결과의 중요성지각 역시 개인규범이 환경지향제품구매행동으로 전환되는 과정에서 조절적 역할을 함으로서 양변수간 관계를 더욱 강화하는 변수임을 연구결과는 제시하고 있다. 그러나 개인규범-재활용행동사이에서의 조절적 역할은 없는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to examine and compare factors affecting the subjective life expectancy among the elderly, and to suggest health practice and social welfare service implications for later life. A total of 4,483 seniors from the 6th wave(2016) of the Korean Longitudinal Study on Aging (KLoSA) were used for analysis. The subjects were divided into three age groups: the young-old (n=2,106, 65~74 years), middle-old (n=1,803, 75~84 years), and oldest-old (n=574, 85 years and older). Control variables were sociodemographic factors and health status factors. Independent variables were health promotion behavior, cognition of public care, participating social activity, economic activity, and receiving basic pension. The data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression. The main results were as follows. Health promotion behavior was associated with the young-old. Social activities and economic activity were associated with the young-old and middle-old. Receiving basic pension had a significant impact on all age groups. In the middle-old, significant results were focused on socio-demographic and health status factors compared to other groups. The results of this study will provide basic data for the elderly policy and welfare service and will help to find and improve the important factors for the life of the elderly.

This study estimated the socioeconomic costs of child poverty. Based on previous studies, the present study organized component categories for direct and indirect costs of child poverty, and estimated the cost of each category in 2015 through the collection of existing data and Delphi survey techniques among experts. The total socioeconomic costs of child poverty were compared to Korea's GDP. The results of this study were as follows. First, the socioeconomic costs of child poverty in Korea in 2015 ranged from 55 trillion KW(3.5% of GDP) to 99 trillion KW(6.5% of GDP). Second, the indirect socioeconomic costs of child poverty are much higher than the direct costs. Third, among the total cost categories, costs related to productivity loss and unemployment accounted for the largest portion of both the socioeconomic costs based upon absolute poverty and relative poverty. Crime costs are the second largest. Based on these results, we discussed the importance of early intervention for children in poverty; implementation of two-generation program that intervenes simultaneously with parents and children; and long-term, continuous and integrated intervention for high-risk groups such as poor children.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of gesture and facial expression on persona effects. Fifty-six college students were recruited for this study, and non-verbal communication skills were applied to a pedagogical agent with gesture (conversational vs. deictic) and facial expression. The conversational gesture may have relationship with social interaction hypothesis of pedagogical agent while the deictic gesture may have relationship with attentional guidance hypothesis. The facial expression can be assumed to facilitate the social interaction between the pedagogical agent and learners. Interestingly, the conversational gesture group showed a tendency of outperforming the deictic gesture group. It may imply that the social interaction theory has a strong impact on cognitive support as well as social interaction for learners. There was a significant interaction effect on the engagement when both of facial expression and conversational gesture were applied. This result has two implications. First, facial expression can facilitate the persona effect for engagement.

This study examines the extent to which community cohesion moderates the effects of neighborhood disorder on community integration among persons with mental illnesses(MI) who are living in the community. Stress process model, social disorganization theory, and neighborhood disorder model were considered with regard to the moderating effect of community cohesion. 692 persons with MI who utilized Community Mental Health Enhancement Centers were surveyed and analyzed, employing moderated regression model. Major findings showed that neighborhood disorder increased social integration. Community cohesion moderated the relationships of neighborhood disorder to three dimensions of community integration: physical, social and psychological integration. Implications for community intervention beyond the individual and service-level interventions were addressed in order to accomplish community integration for persons with MI.

As the socialization of care is progressing rapidly, the necessity of community-level mental health intervention for older adults with severe social isolation and depression is also increasing. In line with the reorganization of the Individualized Support Services for Older Adults in 2020, the social relations revitalization project for the elderly living alone, which had been conducted as a pilot project in 2014~19, was expanded and reorganized into a separate specialized project within the Individualized Support Services for Older Adults. The purpose of this study is to enhance understanding of the specialized service and to clarify its conceptual framework. The characteristics and conceptual framework of the specialized service were examined through a review of the process of institutionalization of the specialized service, which included analysis of related literature and the pilot projects. Finally, it discussed what to consider in order for the specialized service to proceed as intended in the future, focusing on a couple of situations that occur at the fields.

The purpose of this study is to provide clues to social welfare policy making by revealing discourse on social intervention and response based on big data on elderly living alone in the COVID-19 situation. Keyword analysis, network analysis, and topic analysis were utilized to explore the ways in which news media have portrayed challenges facing older individuals and the ways in which the central and local government as well as private organization have responded to them. Results are as follows. First, networks(degree, closeness, betweenness) were formed around region, delivery, society, support, and vulnerability, suggesting an increased demand for economic assistance and social support as well as stronger service delivery systems. Second, key topics derived included "establishing public delivery systems", "establishing local networks", "Managing care gap", "Establishing a private economic support system", and "Establishing service organization system". Based on the research results, discourse on the organic role of government, communities and the private sector has been presented, suggesting policy and practical implications by proposing a discussion on how to intervene for elderly living alone in disaster situations such as COVID-19.
