Background & Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate characteristics and relationship among University students' attitude to reproductive health, value of marriage and children Methods: With a descriptive survey design, a self-report study was conducted and collected 470 responses from university students in Chungcheongnam-Do. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficients were used to analyze data. Results: It was found that there were significantly different in attitude to reproductive health according to the following variables: age(F=2.91, p<.05), college(F=2.49, p<.05), sexual experience(t=7.54, p<.001). value of marriage was significantly different according to gender(t=-7.05, p<.001), college(F=4.42, p<.05), plan to marriage(t=-5.58, p<.001) and plan to having children(t=-4.30, p<.001). Value of children was significantly different according to gender(t=4.52, p<.001), plan to marriage(t=-4.30, p<.001) and plan to having children(t=6.33, p<.001). Attitude to reproductive health was significantly correlated with value of marriage(t=6.33, p<.001), value of marriage was significantly correlated with value of child(r=.224, p<.01). Conclusion: These results suggest that education for improving attitude to reproductive health, value of marriage and child are necessary to overcome low fertility. In addition, it is needed to further research and at the national level policy.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of the modernity of mothers and children's misbehavior on parenting stress of mothers. The subjects of this study was 210 mothers who lived in Korea. The results of this study were as follows: First, No significant statistical difference was found on the parental modernity of mothers by children's sex. Second, No significant statistical difference was found on parenting stress of mothers by the level of education of mothers but significant statistical difference was found on parenting stress by the level of parental modernity. Third, the more mothers had the level of education, the more mothers had parental modernity. Fourth, more children had misbehavior, the more mothers had parenting stress, Fifth, the more mothers had the parental modernity, the less mothers had parenting stress. These results suggest that the parenting stress was effected by both parenting modernity and children's misbehavior but also it was much relevant to children's misbehavior than parenting modernity.

The main purpose of this study was to explore the variables predicting mothers' parenting attitudes in Korean-Japanese multi-cultural families in comparison to Korean families. Differences in parental beliefs, life-satisfaction and parenting attitudes between these two groups were also examined. Data were collected via questionnaires from 110 Japanese and 168 Korean mothers of young children. Results revealed that mothers' beliefs on value of child and parental role, life-satisfaction and parenting attitudes were different across the families. Costed-concept of child and low life-satisfaction predicted 'shaming' and 'coercive' parenting for Japanese mothers whereas parental role beliefs as an 'authority' figure predicted 'shaming' parenting for Korean mothers. Life-satisfaction was most influential to predict 'affectionate-rational' parenting for both group.

본 연구의 기본적 취지는 부인과 남편의 가사와 자녀 양육노동시간에 영향을 미치는 결정요인을 조사하는 것이다. 연구목적을 효과적으로 달성하기 위하여, 가사분담 및 육아시간 설명에 유용하게 쓰여온 다양한 관점의 이론을 도입하여, 그 효과를 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 도입된 이론은 경제적 효율가설(Economic Efficiency), 수요 및 실행가능가설 (Demand/Response Capability), 성 역할관념가설(Sex-Role Ideology), 그리고 상대적 자원가설(Relative Resources)이다. 이 가설들로부터 유출된 대용변수들의 부인과 남편의 가사와 육아시간에 미치는 효과가 검증되었는데 이 변수들은 임금률 부부간의 임금률 비율 노동시 장에서의 근로시간 어린자녀 수 성별에 따른 역할에 대한 사고관, 소득, 부부간의 상대적 소 득수준 교육수준 직업 연령 가족형태, 인종이었다. 본 연구에서 사용된 조사는 1988년 미국 위스콘신 대학 (메디슨)내의 인구 및 생태국(Center for Demography and Ecology)에서 실시한 전국 가족 및 가계조시(National Survey of Families and Households)이다. 부인과 남편의 가사 및 육아 시간량을 설명하는 이론의 효과검증에 대한 연구 결과를 요약하면 역할 관념가설을 부인과 남편모두의 가사 및 육아노동 시간을 잘 설명하는 가설로 나타났고 수요 및 실행가능성가설은 남편보다는 부인의 가사와 육아시간에 더 설득력있는 가설임이 밝혀졌다. 대체적으로 경제적 효율가설과 상대적 자원가설의 효과는 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 수요 및실행가능가설이 남편의 총가사시간을 설명하는 효과는 크지 않았으나 남편의 여성중심형 과업시간에는 유의마한 변수로 나타난 것은 주목할 만하다.

This study explored the relationships between unmarried adult children and their coresident parents with a focus on the role of intergenerational exchanges and family values affecting parent-child relations. A total of 767 unmarried adult children who lived with their parents were selected from the data of the third National Korean Family Survey in 2015. The main findings were that coresident adult children exchange diverse resources with their parents and that exchange patterns whether receiving more or giving more differed depending on the helping dimensions. 'Receiving' type was more prominent in the dimension of practical help, while, 'receiving and giving' type was more noticeable in the dimension of emotional help. Findings also suggest that intergenerational exchange and family values contribute to parent-child relationship quality. While being an active provider of practical help is positively associated with relationship quality, being a recipient of emotional help is related to a higher level of relationship quality compared to being indifferent. In addition, a stronger value of family responsibility was associated with a higher level of relationship quality. These findings indicate that the importance of the practical and emotional component in the relationships between unmarried adult children and their co-resident parents and reciprocal intergenerational exchange and strong family values may be contributory factors to better parent-child relationships.

Ausgangspunkt der Untersuchung ist der weltweite soziale Wandel der letzten Jahrzehnte und sein Einflu${\beta}$ auf die Entstehung und Charakteristiken junger Familien. Ein Ausdruck dieses generellen Wandels ist der Meinungswandel im Zusammenhang mit elterlichen Funktionen. Untersucht wurde, ob Rollenvorstellungen und die Beziehung der Eltern zueinander in einer bestimmten Phase des Familienlebens, n mlich w hrend des bergangs zur Elternschaft, unterworfen sind. Beurteilt wurden bergangseffekte im Vergleich von Ver nderungen bei Erst und Zweiteltern, die im Zusammenhang mit dem Baby aufgetreten sind. Dieses Vorgehen basierte auf der Annahme, da${\beta}$ bei Ersteltern st rkere Effekte auftreten als bei Zweiteltern. Die Ergebnisse basieren auf 130 s dkoreanishcen Erst-bzw. Zweiteltern die w hrend der Schwangerschaft(ca. 6 Monat) erstmals befragt wurden und auf verbliebenen 89 Elternpaaren, die sich an einer zweiten Befragung drei Monate nach der Geburt des Babys beteiligten. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchungen haben gezeight, da${\beta}$ die koreanischen Erstv ter noch st rker als die Zweitv ter eine egalit re Elternrolle vor und nach der Geburt des Kindes bef rworten. Beim bergang zur Elternschaft kam es also nicht zu einer nderung in der traditionellen bzw. egalit ren Rolleneinstellung bei koreanischen Erst und Zweiteltern. Damit sind sowohl Ergebnisse zur Generativit t w hrend bei M ttern kein Unterschied erkennbar ist, zeigen sich die Erstv ter weniger konservativ als die Zwdeitv ter. Zusammenhang zwischen ehelicher Zufreidenheit und Partnerdifferenzen in Rolleneinstellungen wurde gefunden: Paare, bei denen die M tter st rker egalit r orientiert ist als die vater, besitzen niedrigere Werte in ehelicher Zufriedenheit.

The following research is based on a strengths perspective for analyzing the effects of adaptation resilience on parenting stress. The subject were 170mothers whose children have developmental disabilities and attend pre-school and social welfare centers for early education. The results were following: 1) The order of dimensional scores from highest to lowest were social resources, structuralization of personality, social achievement, personal strengths, perception of future, strength of family cohesion. 2) The parenting stress of the subjects came out to be lower than average scoring 2.71 out of 5. Dimensionally, grief of parents came out to be the highest. 3) Adaptation resilience and parenting stress for subjects exhibited a negative correlation. Within adaptation resilience, the dimensions of perception of future, personal strengths, social resources came out to be factors that have significant effects on parenting stress. 4) factors relating to the mother's adaptation resilience were more important than general characteristics belonging to handicapped children and their mothers for the purpose of explaining and predicting parenting stress.

The purpose of this study was to investigate gender difference of community-residing elderly's life satisfaction and influential factors. Data were collected from 461 elders aged 60+ with the cooperation of several social service center for the aged, senior centers, and senior citizen associations in Daejeon Metropolitan City and Chungcheongnam-do(Cheonan-si and Okcheon-gun). SPSS 22.0 software was used for t-test and cross tabulation analysis, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed there was statistically significant difference of elderly's life satisfaction by gender in multivariate analysis including sociodemographic factors, social network and relationship with children variables, but no difference in bivariate analysis. There was also significant difference in the factors affecting community-residing elderly's life satisfaction by gender. A few factors like friend support, number of regular social gatherings, and subjective health status were statistically significant in predicting male elderly's life satisfaction. Predictors of female elderly's life satisfaction which were perceived elderly parent-children conflict, friend support, monthly income, subjective health status, support to children, support from children were more diverse, compared to the predictors for male elderly's life satisfaction. Based on the findings, suggestions for social welfare policy and practice to improve community-residing elderly's life satisfaction considering the gender difference were discussed.
