This questionnaire study examined the processes linking complexity of self-construal to self-positivity conceptualized as taking multiple perspectives, self-acceptance and self-regulation that, in turn, affect psychological well-being among people with an experience of life-crisis during adulthood due to physical disability or divorce. Data were drawn from 359 adult Koreans residing in Seoul metropolitan area, including the physically disabled, the divorced, and their counterparts without a life-crisis experience during adulthood for comparison. On average, the life-crisis experience group(LEG) had a higher independent selfconstrual and a lower interdependent self-construal than the comparison group(CG). As predicted, complexity of self-construal contributed to taking multiple perspectives that helps searching for meaning, and this, in turn, was found to foster self-acceptance and self-regulation. Through these variables except self-regulation, complex self-construal contributed to psychological well-being as manifested by a higher level of positive emotion and a lower level of depression. As expected, while taking multiple perspectives fostered positive emotion both directly and indirectly through self-acceptance among LEG and CG, only in LEG it directly reduced depression. The comparative approach employed in this study enabled to discern that taking multiple perspectives promotes psychological well-being in LEG by contributing to both meaning making and positive attitude, whereas it promotes psychological well-being in CG primarily by fostering positive attitude. Finally implications for this study were discussed and directions for future research were suggested.

This study, based on the research on the history of life, aimed to recompose and analyze into what life progressive structure the life experience by the mentally ill, after the onslaught of the disease, developed in a bid to understand the risk progress in the mentally ill's life, and to determine what contributed to the current stabilized recovery and adjustment. Five mentally ill persons participated in the study, and Sch$\ddot{u}$tze's narrative interview was used to gather data. The gathered data were analyzed according to Sch$\ddot{u}$tze's process structure of life. The interviewees' life experiences were chronologically organized as understood, and significant stories were recomposed that not only brought about changes but also helped overcome their disabilities in the process of treatment and rehabilitation after the onslaught of the disease. As a result, their experiences were recomposed into the stage of onslaught of the mental illness and confusion, and into the stage of intensive treatment and rehabilitation. The former was categorized into suppression by the disease, repetition and endurance of the painful life, and separation from their family and frustration. The latter was categorized into the rediscovery of self through social role change, others who helped realize the life potential, the expansion of mental health services in the community, obstacle to the integration of communities, re-integration of family relationships, re-analysis of experience of the disease through the examination of the life prior to onslaught of the disease, and expectation for the future. Also, these themes were comparatively examined so as to examine the crisis progress in the mentally ill's life after the onslaught of the disease, as well as the life transfer process through positive rehabilitation. Lastly, on the basis of these results, important areas of mental health services for the mentally ill were discussed.

Kim, Kyung Jang(1597~1653) as a disciple of Jang Hyun Gwang was very famous for his virtuous conduct. But his collection of works has been published recently. There has never been any studies about his thoughts, learning and life. Therefore this study has a target to arrange the process of his life and events, and to introduce outlines of his learning. The items of this study will be as follows: The first category will be his lineage, his life, and writings. The second category will be his learning. This category has two lower categories. The first will be focused on his intention to morally accomplished self by the method of self cultivation and practise of Confucian proprieties. The second will be focused on his learning of the Change and of the Confucian proprieties. And giving attention to his 6 diagrams that have symbolized principles of the Change, this paper tries to compare these to the other scholars ones and so will explane the features of his diagrams. The most important thing in this paper is to define his learning as so called in the rhetoric of Confucianism Wi-gi-ji-hak(爲己之學), which means self organization of one's moral personality by the method of self cultivation and to distinguish the steps of his learning developed. This method has never been applied, but this is expected to become a effective method for explanation of the truth of the Confucian scholar's world of learning.

At a time when Korea and the rest of the world recently faced the unprecedented situation of "COVID-19," the view of actively "disclosure" of information to prevent the spread of infectious diseases is at odds with the view of "protecting" personal information as these social measures are coupled with the infringement of individuals' basic rights. In order to see the nation's response to the infectious disease crisis, we examined the current status and characteristics of public records according to crisis alert levels based on the manual for responding to infectious disease. Especially we analyzed the types and disclosure status of records containing personal information. For detecting personal information-related issues on news media, we collected online news articles and performed text anlaysis. Through this, we reviewed the problems of record management including personal information and suggested improvement points from the perspective of the life cycle of records: collect, manage, and dispose of them.

The purpose of this study is a exploratory study for understanding the process of the social isolation of the socially isolated elderly through the approach to their life history. The research was analyzed by one of the methods of qualitative research on life history, the conceptual framework of 'Dimensions, turning, and adaptation' of Mandelbaum(1973). According to the results of this study, the socially isolated elderly people were found to be socially isolated by experiencing complex difficulties such as family disconnection, poverty, poor job and health deterioration. Specifically, in the area of life, there was experience of poor relationship with parent, absence of family, poverty of family and unfavorable relationship with surrounding people in life with original family before isolation. They had bad jobs in the labor market, such as hard labor, delivery, business, and chores. In the area of turning point, we experienced family break due to the separation of the original family and the spouse due to various reasons such as financial crisis, parental divorce and death, spouse affair, economic difficulty. In a transitional stage in the life, many reasons such as the financial crisis, the death of parents, the extramarital affair and economic difficulties led to the disconnection from their original family and their spouses. In an adaptive phase, participants accepted the changed life at each turning point in their lives, carrying out their roles, compromising and trying to adapt properly. He said that their current life, which has entered the social safety net system of the people's basic recipients, has led him to live a more stable life and is adapting to personal hobbies and vicarious satisfaction through networks. This result is somewhat different from previous studies in which isolated elderly people were severely exposed to the risk of depression and loneliness. However, we should also consider the characteristics of this study that interviewed elderly people with relatively low isolation. Based on the results of this research, he presented various practical policy implications.

Labor market participation and occupational status for workers majoring in(natural) science and engineering are estimated and compared with workers of other majors at three levels: employment, prestigious occupations, and good occupations. For this, we utilized 2% Public Use Sample of 2000 Korea Census. The results of two-stage probit models, which adjust sample selection bias, do not support the argument that graduates of science and engineering majors are relatively disadvantaged. Workers of engineering majors are more likely to have 'good occupations' at their early job careers, but their advantages fade away quickly as they are aging. Especially at their 40s, their probability of having 'good occupations' start to be likely lower than workers of social science majors. This may be due to low human capital accumulation rates at work places along with quickly outdated skills which are acquired in colleges.

본 연구는 기후변화가 만경강에 서식하는 어류 서식처에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 기후변화 영향에 따른 수문자료는 RCP 8.5 기후변화시나리오 결과에 기반하여 SLURP 분포형 모델을 이용하여 일 유출량을 도출하였다. 기후변화 전후의 일 유출량 자료는 수문변화지표(indicator of Hydrologic Alteration, IHA) 통계분석모형을 이용하여 유출량의 규모, 빈도, 시기, 기간, 변화율 등 유황특성을 반영한 5가지의 환경흐름요소(Environmental Flow Components, EFC)로 나타냈다. 환경흐름요소는 수문기간 동안의 유황을 극히 낮은 흐름(Extreme low flow), 낮은 흐름(Low flow), 높은 흐름 펄스(High flow pulse), 작은 홍수(Small floods), 커다란 홍수(Large floods) 등 5가지의 스펙트럼 형태로 나타낼 수 있다. 어류의 물리서식처 모의를 위한 대상어종은 환경부 멸종위기 야생동식물 1급으로 지정 및 보호되고 있고 과거 만경강 봉동 일대에서 출현하였던 감돌고기를 선정하였다. 감돌고기의 서식처 적합도(HSI)는 과거 모니터링 결과 및 문헌자료 근거로 생애주기별(산란기, 성장기, 성어기)로 구분하여 나타내었고, River2D 모형에 적용하였다. 분석결과 생애주기별로는 기후변화 영향 후 산란기의 감돌고기의 서식처가중가용면적은 24.1% 증가, 성장기와 성어기의 가중가용면적은 각각 3.3%, 7.3%로 감소하는 것으로 예측되었다. 극한조건에서 서식처가중가용면적의 크기는 높은 흐름 펄스, 작은 홍수, 커다란 홍수, 극히 낮은 흐름 순으로 나타났다. 기후변화 영향으로 인한 가중가용면적의 변화는 작은 홍수를 제외하고 미래에는 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 극히 낮은 흐름, 커다란 홍수의 경우 빈도와 기간을 고려할 때 실질적인 가중가용면적은 더욱 악화될 것으로 예측되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 기후변화 영향으로 인한 만경강 유역의 미래서식처 요건은 악화될 것으로 예상되며 멸종위기종인 감돌고기의 서식처 확보방안의 제시가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The purposes of this study were to investigate Korean men that chose international marriage in terms of motivations, relationships with their spouses in terms of content and process, and quality changes by approaching them in a biography research method, as well as to look into the world of their specific experiences. Ten Korean men in international marriage participated in the study. In-depth interviews with them generated plenty of data. The analysis results of the data indicate that the instrumental nature was strong as for their motivation to marry a woman of a different nationality. They maintained partner relationships with their spouses until the exchange values became equal between them, when tension and conflicts started to happen. The ways they reacted to the crisis determined whether their marital relationships would continue or end. Most of the subjects that succeeded in maintaining their marital relationships deconstructed their own culture, reorganized it at the contact points with the culture of their spouses, and then moved to a new diaspora. The research implications emphasize an academic need to regard female marriage immigrants as a neo-diaspora in the global age. And suggestions were made as to intercultural education.

The objective of this study is to investigate why the applicants for entrance to the science and engineering college are shrinking. We focus on the social situation of the science and engineering college graduates, more concretely, focus on the job stability, social position and the compensation in comparison with the non-science and engineering college graduate. We find that the science and engineering college graduates have the higher rate of separation from his job, the fewer opportunity of improving the social situation and the lower compensation throughout his life from the first job in comparison with the non-science and engineering college graduates. However, this study can not identify why the science and engineering college graduates receive the socially unkind treatment.

This study investigates a long-tenn effect of labor career during middle life on the retirement process and income status later in life course. Two waves of KLIPS (Korean Labor Longitudinal Panel Survey) data sets collected in 1998 and 1999, are employed, which include detailed information on economic activities among those aged 15 and over. Results show that temporary, contracted workers during middle life not only have higher risk of job loss and poverty than those in permanent work status but also they are more likely to experience a stressful retirement process later in life course.
