Purpose: In this study, we analyzed visual acuity of children according to the rearing of the type of parents. Methods: We have done a comparative analysis about before and after of corrected visual acuity according to the wearing actual conditions with the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010 document. Results: Visual acuity before correction of twoparent family's children was 0.91, single parent family's children was 0.83, grandparents family's children was 0.77 in low income and twoparent family's children was 0.80, single parent family's children was 0.77, grandparents family's children was 0.50 in lower middle income. Conclusions: In the rearing of low-income children, the lack of attention to visual acuity management according to the type of parents leads to a failing of visual acuity in myopia. The role of the parents is very important during this time period, so it is necessary to provide social interest giving decline prevention of vision.

The purpose of this study was to examine psychological and behavioral characteristics of parents from low income families and to figure out the influence of these parents' characteristics upon children's problematic behaviors by comparing two-parent families and single-parent families. The subjects in this study were 193 parents who participated in a dream- start program geared toward low-income families. Their psychological and behavioral characteristics were tested, and their children's problem behaviors were investigated. As a result, the children from intact families in the low-income classes showed more problem behaviors when their parents faced heavier parental stress, and they showed less problem behaviors when their parents were more satisfied with their relationship with them. In contrast, the children from single-parent families in the low-income brackets showed less problem behaviors when their parents had better dietary habits and were more satisfied with their daily routine life, and they showed more problem behaviors when their parents were under heavier parental stress. The findings of the study seem to suggest that the development of parental and parent education programs is required to relieve the problem behaviors of children from the low-income classes and improve the parental behavior of their parents, and that a wide variety of assistance should be provided in consideration of the current marital status of parents as well.

The purposes of this study are to explore mother's involvement in children's education and to examine its impacts on the school adjustment of poor family children. A total of 206 low-income mothers with a child attending elementary or middle school completed a structured questionnaire. Overall, the results show that the mothers tend to involve in their children's education to some degree. But the extent of maternal involvement is not uniform across the types of involvement. In order to analyze factors that affect the school adjustment which is measured as grades and attitudes toward school life, regression is perfomed. The mother-child relationship, the expectation for children's educational attainment and the involvement in school activities are found important in predicting the school adjustment of elementary school students. Also, it is found that the discipline including TV monitoring and the matemal expectation are positively associated with the school adjustment of middle school student.

본 연구의 목적은 저소득층 편부모의 자아통제가 심리적 안녕감에 미치는 요인들을 살펴봄으로써 이들 대상의 심리적 안녕감을 향상시킬 수 있는 정색적 시사점을 얻고자 하였다. 본 연구는 편의표본추출방법에 따라 저소득층이 밀집된 48개 지역에 거주하는 635명의 편부모를 대상으로 구조화된 자기 기입식 설문지를 이용만 우편설문조사를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 종속 변수인 심리적 안녕감은 우울증, 자존감, 삶의 만족도 등이며, 독립변수로 인구사회적 배경 요인(모델 1), 사회적 지원 요인(모델 2), 자아통제 요인(모델 3) 등이 사용되었다. 본 연구의 주요 초점인 자아통제 요인은 내외통제성, 적극적 대처, 소극적 대처 등으로 구성되었다. 자료분석은 위계적 다중회귀분석(Hierarchical Multiple Regression Analysis)이 활용되었다. 본 연구에서 나타난 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 우울증 모델에서는 자아통제 요인이 모두 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 판명되었다. 내적 통제감이 높고 소극적 대처력이 낮고 적극적 대처력이 높을수록 우울증이 낮게 나타났다. 다른 유의한 변인은 건강상태로 건강할수록 우울증이 낮았다. 2) 자존감 모델에서는 자아통제 요인 중 내외통제청과 적극적 대처력이 유의한 변인으로 판명되어, 내적 통제감이 놓고 적극적 대처를 많이 하는 편부모일수록 자존감이 높았다. 또한 고연령이고, 건강상태가 좋고, 종교를 갖고 있으며 자녀와의 관계가 가까울수록 자존감이 높았다. 3) 삶의 만족도 모델에서는 자아통제, 소극적 대처, 적극적 대처가 유의한 변인으로 분석되어, 내적 통제감이 높고, 소극적 대처는 낮으며 적극적 대처력이 높은 편부모가 삶의 민족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 수입, 건강, 종교, 자녀와의 관계는 두 모델에서는 유의하였으나, 자아통제 요인을 첨가하자 의미성이 없어졌다. 예상외로 부모, 형제, 친구, 공공기관, 종교기관으로부터 받는 사회적 지지는 거의 모든 모델에서 유의한 영향을 주지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 저소득층에게 제공되어지는 사회적 지지가 미미한 편으로 변이가 없기 때문으로 해결될 수 있다. 따라서, 저소득층 편부모에게 사회적 지지는 물론 자아통제를 제고하는 것이 그들의 심리적 안녕감을 높게 하는 주요 방안이라 팔 수 있다. 앞으로 저소득층 편부모의 자아통제를 제고할 수 있는 다양한 프로그램의 개발 및 이의 적극적 실행방안이 모색되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구의 일차적 목적은 어머니의 특성과 관련된 요인들이 양육효능감에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 양육효능감이 어머니의 특성과 관련된 요인들과 자녀양육 행동과의 관계에서 매개역할을 하는 것인가를 분석하였다. 그리고 양육효능감, 자녀 양육행동, 아동 발달과의 상관관계를 살펴보았다 미국 내 거주하는 Early Head Start 프로그램 의 수혜 자인 저 소득층의 어머니와 영 아들을 (출생∼36개월) 대상으로 한 본 연구결과에 의하면 어머니의 특성과 관련된 요인들로 어머니의 연령, 소득수준, 양육에서 오는 스트레스가 양육효능감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 양육효능감은 어머니의 특성과 관련된 요인, 특히 어머니의 연령과 양육행동과의 관계에서 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다 양육효능감, 양육행동, 아동발달과의 상관관계 분석에서는 양육효능감과 양육행동에서만 유의한 정적인 강관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 지금까지의 선행연구들과는 맥을 같이하는 연구결과이지만, 저소득층(high-risk families)의 어머니와 영아를 대상으로 양육효능감을 포괄적이고 체계적으로 이해하고자 하였다는데서 의의를 찾을 수 있다. 나아가, 이 연구의 결과는 저소득층을 위한 아동 및 가족의 통합적 복지사업을 실천하는데 있어 의미가 있는 것으로 시사된다. 사회 경제적 자립을 위한 기회 제공과 자녀양육을 하는데 있어서 전문가의 직접적인 모델링을 통한 부모교육을 통해서 양육효능감을 향상시켜나갈 때, 아동 및 가족 복지 실현의 궁국적 목적을 이룰 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the influence of positive interactions between the low-income female householders and children on the mothers'psychological well-being and quality of life. The major findings are as following: First, there were high level of life satisfaction and low level of depression among the low-income female householders who perceived high level of children's emotional support. The difference from the existence of the low-income female householder\`s husband was not found in the life satisfaction and depression. After controling for the low-income female householder's health, the differences were maintained. Second, the low-income female householders who communicated with their children open-heartedly felt higher level of life satisfaction and lower level of depression than those who had less communication with their children. The difference from the existence of the low-income female householder's husband was not found in the life satisfaction and depression. After controlling for the low-income female householder\`s educational level and health, the differences were maintained. finally, the low-income female householders felt higher level of life satisfaction and lower level of depression when they listened to their children closely, and were satisfied with mother-child communication.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of depression on the relationship between self-esteem and life satisfaction of children from low-income class. The subjects were 385 children from low-income class in two municipalities. As research methods, frequency, descriptive, correlation statistical analysis using SPSS 20.0 program was conducted. The hypothesized model was tested using structural equation model to identify that model fits best to the collected data. The analysis indicates that depression had direct and negative effects on the life satisfaction. Depression mediates partially the relationship between self-esteem and life satisfaction. This study provides theoretical and practical implications for increasing self-esteem had positive effects on decreasing depression and pressing for improvement of life satisfaction level of children from low-income class.

This study was on low-income female earners, and focused on family life events, social support, and support from children which low-income female easers had experienced. It also examined how family life events, social support, and support from the children affected the level of life satisfaction of the low-income age in the Seoul metropolitan area. The analysis of the data showed the following results: 1. The low-income female roamers experienced finance and business strains more than other family life events. The significant family life events that affected their life satisfaction were intra-family strains, finance and business stains, and illness and family care stains. 2. The level of social support was average. The low-income female earners reported that their relatives had provided the largest amount of support among their social network; however, only support from their friends affected their life satisfaction. Emotional support was the common support type which low-income female easers had received. 3. The perceived level of support from children was high, and it was the most significant variable that affected the life satisfaction of the low-income female eamers.
