The purpose of this study was to analyze children's perspectives on the role of male childcare teachers and children' s gender role concepts. According to the results, when it comes to how the children perceive the roles of the male childcare teacher, the children mostly saw the male childcare teacher as a person who teaches and in another case, they regarded him as someone who takes care of their daily life and who is willing to play games with them. On the other hand, the male childcare teacher's organizing of an environment, supporting tasks and working on a computer were perceived less by the children. In terms of the gender role concepts, the study confirmed that depending on the role performance of the male childcare teacher, the children in the male childcare teacher's class had better understanding than those children in the female childcare teacher's class. In order to secure the children's right to participate specified in the convention of the rights of the child, the study applied not only the interviews with the children but also their drawings to the analysis, and that was what led the study to an in-depth discussion on the perception of the children.

The purpose of this study was to examine the developmental trends in children's gender-role flexibility across different areas of gender-role concept(appearance, activities, occupations, personality trails). Participants included 74 children(1st, 3rd, 5th graders). They were interviewed on a series of 16 pictures depicting cross-gender characteristics. Analyses revealed that (a) flexibility reached its peak at around age 8, which then remained the same except in appearance, (b) girls showed higher flexibility than boys except in occupations, (c) children showed the lowest flexibility in appearance and the highest in occupations, (d) children showed the lowest flexibility toward a male target child with cross-gender characteristic, and (e) children's justifications for flexibility were varied according to the situations. The results suggest that children's gender-role flexibility is influenced by age, sex, areas of gender-role concept, and target persons.

Gender role flexibility in social and non-social situations across 4 areas of gender-role concepts(appearance, activities, occupations, and personality traits) were studied in 74 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade children. They were interviewed with 16 pictures depicting cross-gender characteristics. Children showed higher flexibility in social than in non-social situations. In social situations, children justified cross-gender characteristics in all 4 areas of gender-role concept. In non-social situations, children showed (a) highest flexibility in occupations and lowest in appearance, (b) lower flexibility toward male than female target children, (c) peak flexibility at age 8, then remaining the same except for appearance, and (d) higher flexibility in girls than in boys. In social and non-social situations children gave variable justifications for flexibility.

이 연구는 동아시아 한중일 3개국을 대상으로, 낮은 출산율을 공통의 특징으로 하면서도 서구 선진사회들에 비해 저출산 문제를 해결하기 위한 일-가정 양립 지원 정책이 미비한 이유를 3개국에서 각기 다른 형태를 보이는 젠더레짐(gender regime) 개념을 통해 탐구하려고 하였다. 연구를 위한 분석대상 자료는 2012년 국제 사회조사(ISSP)의 '가족과 변화하는 젠더 역할 모듈(Family and Changing Gender Roles)'이다. 연구결과, 전통적 성역할 고정관념과 노동시간은 3개국 모두에서 일-가정 양립 갈등과 정적인 관계를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 그런데 전통적 성역할 고정 관념과 노동시간, 연령대를 제외한 모든 영향요인은 한국에서만 차이를 보인 것도 특징이다. 한편 임금과 교육수준이 일-가정 갈등에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는다는 사실은 일-가정 갈등이 전체 사회 구성원들에게 보편적인 문제라는 점을 보여주었다. 연구의 결론에 따라 세 가지 정책 제안을 하였다. 일-가정 양립의 문제가 전통적 성역할 고정관념과 중요하게 연관된다는 점을 확인한 점은 이 연구의 중요한 의의이다. 연구의 역사가 긴 서구사회에 비해 관심의 주변부에 있던 동아시아 국가들 역시 젠더 레짐의 정책적 성격에 따라 분류될 수 있음을 밝힌 것도 의미가 있다.

The present study was conducted to (1) explore the perceptions of Korean men and women about what is an important relationship for them and how do each gender group construe relational self, and (2) develop the scale to assess the factors of relational self and verify construct validity of the scale. 40 college students and 60 adults participated in survey and FGI (Focused Group Interview) respectively, and content analysis of their responses yielded 2 categories with 39 characteristics of relational self. The one category was named 'instrumentality' which was important to men and the other was named 'expressivity' which was important to women. The list of 39 items was administered to a nationwide sample of 1503 Korean adults to assess their construal of relational self through the 6-point Likert scale. Principal axis factor analysis showed that the two categories were unidimensional with high reliability. As a result of factor analysis on each category, a total of 9 factors were extracted. Specifically, the instrumentality consisted of factors such as utilitarianism, independence, initiativeness, self-assurance, and competence. And the factors of expressivity were empathy, passiveness, dependency, consideration. The tests of mean difference revealed that men had higher scores in most of the instrumental factors, while women had higher scores in most of the expressive factors. But there was no sex difference in the interdependent self-construal scale(Cross, 2000) which has been frequently used for measuring relational self. This is related to the Korean's collective cultural characteristics, and it was concluded that the relationship with others is very important to both Korean men and women, but the meaning and expectation of the relationship as well as the method for its preservation are different to each sex group. In addition, the correlation analyses indicated that the feminity score was positively correlated with the expressiveness while the masculinity score was positively correlated with instrumentality. This result implicated the differences of relational self among Korean people were related to the socialization process of each sex, i.e., sex role identity. Finally, limitations of this study and the directions for future research were discussed.
