This study validates an abridged version of the age integration scale by Chung et al. (2015), which constitutes sub-dimensions of age flexibility and age heterogeneity-from Riley et al. (1994)-and observes disparities in the perception of age integration among different socio-cultural characteristics. This study analyzed 1,433 people in the "Age Integration and Generation Integration Survey" data, with the support of the Social Science Competency Enhancement Project (SSK) (supported by the Korea Research Foundation). This paper analyzed the data using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, multiple-group factor analysis, and a compare means test. The results are as follows. First, the scale was abridged to 13 items from 28, of which eight items concern age heterogeneity and five concern age flexibility. Second, the multi-group analysis did not show a significant difference among younger, middle, and older age groups, therefore allowing the scale to be used among all age groups. Third, when sociocultural characteristics were observed, younger adults showed differences in their levels of age integration, age heterogeneity, and age flexibility regarding their residential area. Middle-aged adults showed dif f erences in their levels of age integration, age heterogeneity, and age flexibility regarding their residential area and social status. Older adults showed differences in their level of age integration regarding their residential area, education level, and social status. They also showed differences in the level of age flexibility regarding their residential area and social status and differences in the level of age heterogeneity regarding their residential area and education. Based on the results of the study, political and practical measures to promote perception on age integration in the future were suggested.

일반적으로 인구이동은 전형적인 연령패턴을 갖는 것으로 알려져 있다. 연령에 따른 이동률의 변화는 생애주기와 지역애착에 영향을 받기 때문이라고 설명되어왔다. 많은 인구이동 연구들은 인구이동이 갖는 다양한 형태에 대한 고민 없이 단순한 거주지역의 변화에만 초점을 맞추었다. 하지만 인구이동의 다양성에 주목한 연구들은 인구이동이 그 형태에 따라 다양한 의미를 갖고 있음을 보여주고 있다. 이에 이 연구는 패널데이터(NLSY79)를 사용하여, 인구이동을 최초이동, 계속이동 및 귀환이동으로 구분하였다. 이러한 구분을 바탕으로 생애주기 및 지역애착 등을 반영하는 사회경제적 변수들을 통제한 후 연령이 인구이동에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 분석결과는 인구이동이 그 형태에 따라 다양한 연령패턴을 갖는다는 것을 보여준다. 최초이동은 이동률이 성인초기 연령대의 매우 높은 수준에서 급감하여 중년에 이르러 일반적 이동률 수준으로 나타났고, 계속이동은 연령의 증가에 따라 선형으로 꾸준히 감소하지만 그 폭은 크지 않았다. 그러나 귀환이동은 이동률이 연령에 따라 증가하는 모습을 보여주었다. 이러한 연령패턴의 다양성을 설명을 위해 이 연구는 인구이동에서의 보수성 증가라는 심리적 접근을 제안하고 있다.

Results comparing the scale and otolith ages for walleye pollock from the Donut Hole of the Bering Sea showed a significant discrepancy for fish older than 8 years old. For walleye pollock from the Shelikof Strait of the Gulf of Alaska, comparison between ages determined from the scale and otolith readings indicated that there were no differences for younger age groups, but for the ages 6 and older, discrepancies squeezed in somewhat amid the same age groups.

The purposes of this study were to investigate how ageism and age integration influence the perception of intergenerational conflict for each age group, and to seek alternatives to decrease intergenerational conflict. Study participants were divided into three groups based on their age: adolescence, middle age, and old age groups. For each group, the effects of ageism and age integration related variables on intergenerational conflict were examined using regression analysis. The results showed that there was no specific difference on the perception of intergenerational conflict by three different age groups; however, there were differences on influencing factors to explain the perception of intergenerational conflict. Among those factors, especially, the severity of the perception of age discrimination, which is one of ageism related variables, influenced the perception of intergenerational conflict for all age groups. That is, the more people perceived the severity of age discrimination, the more people perceived intergenerational conflict. The findings of this study are meaningful because this study revealed ageism and age integration could be causes to trigger intergenerational conflict.

The difference of generation is the main cause of society transition. If we know about the gap of generations, then we know where we go in future. This study focus on the differences of a regulation recognition among the generations. When we understand the differences of regulation recognition among the generations, we can realize the trait of regulation in society. In result, there are a lot of differences of regulation recognition among the generations. The older they are, the more they are positive to regulation. And the younger they are, the more they are negative to regulation. In particular, 50's generation have the opposite regulation recognition to 20's generation in specialty of regulation and in a conglomerate regulation.

현 시점에서의 인구의 성별/연령별 구성은 과거의 출산, 사망에 의한 인구진행과정(demographic process)의 잔류효과라고 볼 수 있다. 한편 현재의 인구의 성별/연령별 구성은 장래의 인구증가에 잠재적인 영향력을 미치게 된다. 예를 들면 인구의 대부분이 45세 이상으로 구성되어 있다면 출산률은 낮고 사망률은 높아서 인구증가는 더디다. 즉 인구의 연령별 구성은 인구증가를 좌우하는 하나의 동적인 요인으로 볼 수 있다. 연령구성이 한 결과인 동시에 하나의 요인이기도 하다는, 이러한 이중적인 성격은 서로 얽히고 복잡한 것이다. 이 논문에서는 둘째 관점, 즉 연령구성을 하나의 동적요인으로 보고, 그것이 인구증가에 미치는 잠재력(potentail) 또는 관성(momentum)에 관해서 고찰하고 최근(1970, 1975)의 한국 센서스 결과에 대해서 이를 정량적으로 계측하고자 한다.

Determining age structure of the population of an endangered species is critical because it could provide basic information about population dynamics. In this study, we assessed the possibility if the growth lines on dorsal scutes of the national monument as well as endangered Reeves' turtle (Mauremys reevesii) can reliably estimate actual ages of the 100 turtles of which actual ages were known and have been housed in Seoul Zoo. We counted the number of growth lines on the first four dorsal scutes and the first left and right lateral scutes of each turtle and compared those with their known actual ages. Ages estimated by the growth lines were overestimated at between 1 and 5 actual ages, but underestimated at between 6 and 9 actual ages, indicating that age estimation using growth lines is only partially applicable at actual ages of less than 6 years old. In addition, using length and width of turtle's dorsal plates, we produced growth curves with equations to estimate actual ages of females combined with juveniles, but its application to estimate actual ages was not reliably possible because all subject turtles which used were at relatively young ages. In conclusion, when estimating actual ages of Reeves' turtles using the number of growth lines on the dorsal scutes, it is recommend to use minimum values at less than 6 lines, but use maximum values at more than 7 lines. As the first study which estimated actual ages of a turtle species using growth lines on the dorsal scutes in Korea, our results could be useful to estimate ages of the endangered Reeve's turtles in the field although its application might be limited.

Age estimations by forensic odontology play a great role in personal identification. The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of age estimation cases in Korea. Surveying clients who requested age estimation at the Department of Oral Medicine, Kyungpook National University Dental Hospital from March 2012 to March 2013. The results were as follows: 1. On gender distribution, females(57.14%) were more than males(42.86%). The elderly with 50's and over 60's were majorities(89.28%) of clients, and no clients were below 40's. Most of clients were equal to and lower than elementary school graduate(69.64%). 2. The most frequent reason for age discrepancy between registered age and alleged age was mistakes by family or relatives(80.36%). The purposes of age estimation were welfare(62.50%), social relationship problem(12.50%), to find right age(10.71%), and occupation(8.93%). 3. In order of route to visit at Department of Oral Medicine, they were via government office(48.21%), acquaintances(21.43%), mass media(14.29%), and clinic(10.71%). Clients had high degree of comprehension on age estimation with forensic odontology (scored 7.03 out of 10). The 2/3 of clients were satisfied with present fee for age estimation. 4. The percentage on the proximity of estimated age to alleged age was 69.81%. 4(11.43%) clients were approved on age correction by court.
