이 연구는 외국인 노동자들의 한국문화에 대한 적응문제를 살펴 보기 위하여 그들이 한국인들에 대하여 가지고 있는 사회적 거리감(social distance)을 분석하고 있다. 사회적 거리감은 인종 간 상호 관계 연구에서 중요한 개념으로 다루어져 왔으며, 특히 사회적응 수준을 드러내는 효과적인 척도로 각광받아왔다. 이 연구는 한국내 외국인 노동자들의 한국인에 대한 사회적 거리감의 결정요인을 규명하려는 목적을 가지고 있다. 서울과 경기 지역에서 수집된 자료에 대한 다중회귀분석(OLS Regression)을 통하여, 이 연구는 서구 사회에서 다수 인종의 사회적 거리감을 효과적으로 설명하는 것으로 판명된 요인들이 한국의 소수 인종인 외국인노동자들에게도적용될수있는가를살펴본다. 구체적으로는 연령, 성, 교육, 종교, 인종과 같은 사회인구학적 변수들과 한국인과의 접촉정도 가사회적 거리감에 유의미한 효과가 있는지 분석된다. 둘째, 이 연구는 외국인 노동자들의 가장 중요한 삶의 공간인 작업장에서의 경험과 관련된 변수들이 사회적 거리감에 대하여 가지는 효과를 탐구한다. 셋째, 구조방정식 모형(Structural Equation Model)의 적용을 통하여, 이 연구는 다중회귀에서 분석된 여러 설명 변수들 간의 복잡한 인과구조를 규명하고, 이들이 사회적 거리감에 미치는 영향을 직접효과, 간접효과, 전체효과로 나누어 살펴본다. 다중회귀분석 결과는 집단 간 사회적 거리감은 사회인구학적 변수들, 한국인들과의 접촉, 작업장 내 경험등 다양한 요인들의 복합적인 결과물이라는 점을 확인해 준다. 특히 분석결과는 작업장에서의 경험과 느낌이 한국 내 외국인 노동자들의 한국인들에 대한사회적거리감형성에결정적이라는사실을보여주는반면, 기존연구에서 효과적인 것으로 판명된 전통적 요인들은 영향력이 미미하다는 점을 말해준다. 한편, 구조방정식 모형을 적용한 분석결과는 한국인 친구들과의 접촉과 이해하기 쉽고 구체적인 노동조건이 사회적 거리감에 직접적으로 영향을 주고 있다는 것을 보여 준다. 한편 추상적인 노동조건은 사회적 거리감에 간접적으로 영향을 미친다. 상사에 대한 평가와 직무만족은 노동조건에 의해 유의미한 영향을 받지만, 한국인 친구와의 접촉과는 관련이 없다. 간단히 말해, 상사에 대한 평가와 직무만족은 노동조건이 사회적거리감에 대하여 가지는 효과를 매개한다. 결론적으로, 구조방정식모형의 분석결과는 작업장 관련 변수들간에 복잡한 인과구조가 존재한다는 점과 작업장 내 경험이 한국인에 대한 사회적 거리감 형성에 가장 중요하다는점을 확인해 준다.

Speeding and drunken driving make drivers fail to detect hazards and cope with various driving situations. These behaviors also raise the possibility of being involved in traffic accidents and tend to increase the number of fatalities. The authors compared the driving behavior determinants of a rockless drivers group, consisting of individuals who have committed traffic accidents or offended regulations through drunken driving, with a normal drivers group. In the results, the reckless drivers group showed high scores of 'speeding' and 'drunken driving', and they also stated that they had more experiences of speeding, drunken driving and traffic accidents. In the path analysis study, it was found that the impacts of the rockless drivers group's 'risk sensitivity' and 'situational adaptability' on traffic accidents were stronger than those of normal drivers. This means 'risk sensitivity' and 'situational adaptability' can explain the origins of traffic accidents better in the reckless drivers group than accidents of the normal drivers group.

This research was conducted to analyze the relationship among school bullying types, collaboration empathy skills, and adaptation of school life. A survey was conducted for the research, and asked 213 adolescents in middle and high schools in capital area(middle school: 106, high school: 107). Data Analysis was used a two-step cluster analysis to classify the type of bullying, explanation of a prediction variable according to the groups were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression analysis. The results of analysis of the research are as in the following. First, experience of afflicting or suffering from school bullying had negative correlation with collaboration empathy skills, and also with school life adaptation. Secondly, assailant group and victim group of school bullying was related to the lack of collaboration skill, and also related with empathy skill. Thirdly, collaboration empathy skills was influential factor on the adaptation of school life. Based on the results, collaboration empathy skills reduce the experience of bullying, and have a positive impact on the adaptation of school life. It confirmed the need for a social skills training program and discussed the implications.

Mean value for adjustment to college life was 2.96. It was significantly different according to nursing major (F=6.23, p=.003), study loading (F=4.47, p=.013), and perceived learning achievement (F=6.87, p=.001). 'Burden on study loading', 'Burden on job finding', 'Securing diverse support', 'Diverse extra-curricular', and 'Qualified practicum education' were extracted from the qualitative data. Results suggest diverse program development to decrease study loading, increase chances to connect with supporters, provide various extra-curricular activities and guarantee qualified practicum education are important in associate nursing college students' adaptation to college life.

This paper describes the experience of the dietary adaptation of patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis due to end-stage renal failure by identifying the meanings and structure of the experience. In the research method, the data from nine patients were collected using individual in-depth interviews and analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method. The experience of the dietary adaptation of participants undergoing peritoneal dialysis was organized into four theme-clusters and 15 themes. These four theme-clusters were characterized as follows: 'the double sufferings of peritoneal dialysis process and dietary adaptation', 'vague and ambiguous diet management', 'the hardship of diet management felt by experiencing diet using one's body', and 'realizing the importance of diet management with peritoneal dialysis, resetting one's goal in life'. This paper describes the dietary adaptation process experienced by peritoneal dialysis patients was a process of adhering to a better life, even though it was the double sufferings of peritoneal dialysis process and dietary adaptation. In conclusion, the findings in this study provide a deep understanding of the lived experience of the dietary adaptation in peritoneal dialysis patients and should help in the development of tailored diet interventions for patients on peritoneal dialysis.

This study was conducted to identify acculturative stress in foreign workers in Korea. The data of 123 subjects were collected from January to May, 2010, and analyzed using the SPSS WIN 18.0 program to compare demographic characteristics and acculturative stress. The results: The highest score among 7 subcategories of acculturative stress was homesickness, followed by discrimination. Subjects who had high school diploma were more likely to have acculturative stress than those who were middle school graduates or lower. Those who did not have the community with their homeland people experienced acculurative stress more than those who had. The 7 subcategories showed that those who had homesickness, the sense of being discriminated, culture shock, the homeland community, and the experience of unfair treatment in public had acculturative stress more than their counterparts. Those who did not live with their spouses had homesickness more than the counterpart. Male subjects, those with high school diploma, and those who did not live with their spouses appeared to have guilty feelings more often than their counterparts. The results of this study suggested further studies on foreign workers so that they could adjust themselves well to the Korean society.

A total of 181 college students(61 males 121 females) with at least 5 years of living abroad (Returnee Group) and another group of 181 students (92 males and 93 females) without extended period of living abroad (Comparison Group) participated in the study by completing a questionnaire consisting of Acculturation Index, Multidimensional Acculturation Scale, Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire, Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale, CES-D, and WHOQOL. The results indicated that the Returnee Group, compared to the Comparison Group, reported as good adjustment toward college life in Korea and positive attitude toward the Korean identity, but a higher level of loneliness. When the Returnee Group were divided into 4 different groups on the basis of acculturation pattern, the Integration and Assimilation Type reported a better adjustment to college life, lower depression and loneliness and better quality of life than the Marginalization Type. The Mariginalization Type appears to be the most vulnerable group, experiencing difficulties in all areas of adjustment, and is clearly in need of interventions. Limitations of the present study and suggestions for future research were discussed.
