The purpose of this study is to validate the Confusion, Hubbub, and Order Scale (CHAOS), developed by Matheny et al. (1995), in South Korea. Data of 189 parents with children under the age of 5 acquired by online survey were used for the analysis. Descriptive statistics, item-total correlation, internal consistency, confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity were examined. As a result, 13 items were confirmed and the reliability was .881. By validating K-CHAOS, it became possible to consider the effect of physical environment, that are known to affect psychological and social development of individuals, as one of micro-systems in future studies.

In the present study. the design of multi-axial lower extremity orthosis was presented with adduction and abduction force data which were measured from three children with cerebral palsy and a normal child. The measurements of adduction and abduction forces were conducted in standing and wolking condition. Adduction and abduction forces were measured by strain gages which were attached on the lateral uprights of lower extremity orthoses. In the standing condition. addcution force of childrens was distributed from 0.11 kgf to 0.26 kgf. During the walking condition. adduction force was reached to 1.56 kgf and abduction force was reached to 1.52 kgf.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of case management in child welfare facilities to determine what the inhibiting factors as well as complementary factors are. For this purpose, data from 181 workers in community children's centers and 96 workers in child protection agencies and foster care centers were analyzed, the analyzed by using SPSS 21.0 program. In the case of community children's center interpersonal skills, case management guidelines, super vision, and network utilization were the influential factors while in other child welfare facilities, personal inhibitory factors, social welfare work experience, case management experience, and network utilization were the affecting factors. The implications reveal that social welfare practice should enhance the interpersonal skills of the workers, strengthen the supervision system, and provide a clear case management guideline. It is also important to set up a network of all local child welfare facilities and strengthen cooperation and mutual support among the institutions within the network.

형제수, 출산순위, 출산터울, 모성의 출산시 연령 등 가족형성 양상은 아동의 신체적 발육 성장 및 지능발달과 강한 관련성을 보여 왔음이 세계 여러나라 아동을 대상으로 수행된 연구에서 보고되었다. 본 연구는 형제수와 출산순위, 그리고 출산시 모성의 연령은 아동의 신체적 지능적 발달과는 역상관관계를, 출산터울의 길이는 순상관관계를 나타낼 것이라는 가설을 증명하고자 1984년 한국중학생 1,2,3학년 약 46,000명을 대상으로 수행되었다. 지역별 그리고 사회경제적 상태별 비교를 위하여 서울시 고소득층이 주로 거주하는 학구내의 중학교와 저소득층이 거주하는 학구내 중학교 각각 5개를 선정하고 강원도내 전형적 농촌의 중학교 12개를 선정하여 신장, 체중, 좌고, 혈구용적 지능지수를 측정하였다. 이들 측정치들의 평균은 학부모와 담임선생님의 도움으로 작성된 가족형성 변수별로 비교되었으며 다중 희귀분석과 부분상관분석으로 연관성의 통계적 유의성을 검정하였다. 동일연령의 신체적 발육성장 지표들은 도시의 고소득지역 아동들이 가장 우수했으며 다음이 도시저소득 지역 아동이었고 농촌아동이 가장 빈약하였다. 남녀별 신체적 발육지표들의 차이는 연령이 많을수록 더 현저했으며 연령별 지역별 차이는 남학생에게서 더 두드러졌다. 평균 지능지수는 도시고소득지역 남학생들이 월등히 높아 114.8인데 비해 도시저소득지역 남학생들은 106.1, 그리고 농촌 남학생들은 105.3이었다. 남학생보다는 여학생의 지능지수가 낮았는데 이것은 대만 아동들도 여학생이 모든 연령에서 남학생보다 낮았다는 보고와 일치하였다. 한편 도시저소득지역과 농총지역 학생들은 남녀모두 평균지능지수가 비슷하였다. 가족형성변수들은 혼란변수들은 모든 제어했을 경우에도 아동들의 신체적 지능적 발달에 독립적으로 영향을 미쳤다. 발육지표중에 지능지수와 형제수가 가장 가족형성 변수들과의 연관성이 강했다.

The purpose of this study is to understand the rearing experience of parents who adopted a child for whom they were foster parents. Several cases of foster care adoption were found. We carried out individual interviews for data collection. Within-case and across-case analyses were conducted based on the data gathered from individual interviews of four cases. As a result, we were able to grasp significant issues from each case and find out common subjects found in all cases. The common subjects were 'special encounter: accident, connection, and inevitability', 'my child already', 'fundamental but insignificant difference', 'discontinuity in social support: things that are lost, and things that are gained', 'truth that is unable to hide, and truth that needs to be hidden', and 'family's destiny'. Based on the results of this study, policy recommendations and practice guidelines were suggested to help families undergoing adoption from foster care. Also, recommendations for further research were provided to overcome the study limitations.

Though the education of culture and art for disabled children is very important, it has not been brisk yet until recently due to 'absence of the teaching methods suitable for disability types, levels and programs.'. In this situation, cartoon contents can be used as the most appropriate tools for culture and art education for mentally retarded children. Entertainment functions and genre features of cartoon contents can motivate the applicable children to participate more voluntarily and positively and function as teaching tools for interesting activities. Of course, since it is not proper to apply the cartoon contents for normal children to Special Education Field as they are, cartoon works should be made by understanding closely the characteristics and degrees of retardation of the applicable children and applying them to the composition of cartoons. However, for the contribution of this attempt to education field, it is thought that concrete guidelines for producing cartoon contents considering the concept of various types of disability, emotion, social behavioral traits, ability of cognition, school achievements, and the characteristics of language and physical health should be necessary, and to improve the application of the developed cartoon contents so that they will not remain as superficial results, sufficient communication with the applicable children such as application to classes in the process of development is necessary.

This study aimed to identify the correlation between internal/external motive, academic failure (emotion, behavior, task preference), depression (depressive emotion, behavioral disorder, loss of interest, self-degradation and physiological symptom), and academic efficacy of elementary school students with underachievement basic learning, and discover the influential variables on internal/external motive, targeting 56 elementary school students with underachievement in third and fifth grade of 10 elementary schools in G metropolitan city. The research conducted T-test to figure out the difference between the children with underachievement by year and carried out theregression analysis to identify the predictors of self-determination motives. First, there was a difference between the third and fifth graders in terms of the external motives. Second, the influential variables for external motives of children with underachievement included depressive emotion, loss of interest and physiological symptom. Therefore, as more third graders with underachievement study under the external motives compared to the fifth graders, it is concluded necessary to adopt a program to reduce the variables for depression that influence the external motives.

This study examined the co-occurrence of child maltreatment and domestic violence in South Korea, using the administrative data from Korean Child Protection Services. Existing literature showed that the co-occurrence rate was high and that the co-occurrence was important in prevention and intervention for child maltreatment. However, few studies have investigated the co-occurrence of child maltreament and domestic violence in South Korea. None of the studies have examined the co-occurrence from the perspective of child protective services. This study analyzed the rate of co-occurrence among abusive families involved with Korean Child Protective Services and examined the relationship between domestic violence and child maltreatment. Results showed that 21.4% of the abusive families had also experienced domestic violence. Various characteristics(i.e., detailed abuse characteristics, psychosocial characteristics of perpetrators) differed between co-occurrence families and maltreatment-only families. Domestic violence was a significant predictor of child maltreatment, but the detailed relationships differed according subtypes of maltreatment. Based on the results, implications for theory and service integration between services for domestic violence victims and child protective services were discussed.

The aim of the present study is to understand the lived experiences of sexual violence in childhood and adolescence. Qualitative methodology, which allows us to directly meet individuals who experienced sexual violence, see their experience, and qualitatively analyze their experience was employed. More specifically, I conducted in-depth interviews with 6 woman who experienced sex abuse in their childhood and adolescence, and analyzed their experience using categorization and theme analysis methods. The key themes that were derived from the qualitative data include, 'On the day out of the ordinary; Unspeakable terror', 'Why did this kind of thing happen to me', 'Trying not to loss my senses; Unspeakable suffering, unable to speak', 'I hate myself', 'Forgetting wasn't the end; Would it be okay if I speak out' 'Becoming conscious creates more confusion', 'I know that it is not my fault', 'Internalized social norms', 'Denial of feminity', 'Confusion and recovery'. Based on these findings, I propose a practice guideline to help woman who experienced sexual abuse during childhood and adolescence, and implications for future studies.
