This study aimed to investigate the effects a strengths-based group counselling program had on self-esteem and career maturity of adolescents under probation. The subjects of the study were female adolescents under probation in Gwangju and were categorized into two groups: experiment group and control group consisting of 15 respectively. As a result, it was discovered that the strengths-based group counselling program had positive effects on enhancement of general and social self-esteem in the subjects while it did not have statistically significant effects on enhancement of family self-esteem. It indicates that positive relationship with parents and recovery of family functions should be encouraged to enhance the family self-esteem. Also, the strengths-based group counselling program had positive effects on planning, self-understanding, career knowledge and career preparation areas relating to career maturity while it did not have statistically significant effects on independence. It shows that to encourage the subjects to be independently prepared for career, family and society should provide more specific support for career guidance. Based on the results above, it was suggested that the strengths-based group counselling program had significant effects on self-esteem and career maturity of the subjects under probation. In conclusion, to encourage adolescents under probation to respect themselves and others, specifically plan their career and grow to be reliable and mature adults, further research on the strengths-based group counselling program is needed and diverse strategies including specific support through mentor service of college students should be developed.

Using open-ended questionnaires, two studies were conducted to explore social representations held by Korean undergraduates on children, adults and adolescents. Study 1 compared between children and adults with responses reported by 97 undergraduates(men: 28, women: 69). According to the results, characteristics of children distinctive from adults were basically personality-related and in particular, typical children were marked by high extroversion, low agreeableness, conscientiousness and culture. Further, happiness for both children and adults was determined mainly by interpersonal relationships, physical health and socio-economical status. However, good(or desirable) children characteristic of high agreeableness and conscientiousness were more similar to adults worthy of the name than to children worthy of the name. Using 57 undergraduates(men: 16, women: 41), Study 2 explored social representations of adolescents. The results indicated that overall adolescence were on the bridging state between childhood and adulthood. Happiness for adolescents, like both children and adults, was determined mainly by interpersonal relationships and socio-economical status. Finally, agreeableness, conscientiousness, self-, task- and relationship-related characteristics were involved in judging good(or desirable) adolescents. These findings were discussed in terms of features of Korean culture and human development.

뜨거운 무더위가 기승을 부리던 지난 여름 7월의 한날. 동국대학교에 경영학과 3학년에 재학 중인 여대생 3명이 한국자동판매기공업협회 사무실을 찾았다. 이들의 방문목적은 일본 자판기 시장 탐방을 위한 사전조사로 국내 자판기 산업의 현황과 과제를 알기 위해서였다. 그들은 국내 자판기 산업에 대한 뜨거운 호기심으로 궁금해 하던 질문을 연방 쏟아 냈고, 얼마 후 일본을 떠났다. 그들이 이런 탐방을 가능하게 했던 것은 국가 청소년위원회에서 지원해 주는 '청소년 해외연수프로그램' 덕택이다. 청소년의 국제적인 능력을 배양하고 글로벌리더로서 성장할 수 있도록 지원해주는 이 프로그램에 '자판기'를 탐방과제로 제출한 게 선정이 되어 일본 자판기 시장 탐방을 지원받게 된 것이다. 끊임없는 도전 정신을 갖춘 대학생들이 자판기 시장을 보는 시각은 어떤 선입견도 거부한다. 반면 자판기 업계에 종사하는 사람들은 노상 봐 오던 자판기 시장을 무덤덤하고 타성에 젖은 시각으로 보기 쉽다. 이런 점에서 그들의 일본 시장 탐방은 보다 참신하고 객관적인 시각을 가질 수 있다. 일본 자판기 시장을 좌충우돌 누비며 탐방을 완료한 그들의 탐방기가 욕심이 났던 이유가 여기에 있다. 흔쾌히 원고 게재를 허락해준 탐방단 황혜원님, 정달래님, 박계령님, 이혜원님에게 감사드리며, 지금부터 그들이 안내하는 "일본 자판기 시장 탐방기"를 따라가 보자.

This study examines the formation and change of relational trust among Korean adolescents using indigenous psychological perspective. Among adolescents, we examine the basis of trust of their parents, friends and teacher and also their trust in people and institutions. A total of 968 adolescents (227 elementary, 284 middle school, 213 high school, and 244 university students) completed a questionnaire that contains the Relational Trust Scale developed by Kim and Park (2004a), Generalized Trust Scale developed by Yamagishi (1998) and a scale measuring trust of people and institutions (Kim, Helgesen & Ahn, 2002). The results are as follows. First, adolescents trust their parents due to their sacrifice, followed by their counsel and advice, dependability, consanguinity and respects. They trust their teachers due to their counsel and advice, followed by respect, sacrifice, and mutual trust. They trust their friends due to their advice, followed by empathy, mutual trust, dependability, friendship and sacrifice. Second, trust of their parents are highest among the elementary school students and lowest for the middle school students and lower for older age groups. The trust in teachers are highest among the elementary school students and lowest among the middle school and university students. In contrast, trust in friends increase from elementary school students to older age groups. Third, among trust in people and institutions, they are highest for parents and family and lowest for politicians and political parties. Except for trust in friends, trust of significant others and institutions (family, teachers, neighbors, company executives and politicians) is highest among the youngest age group and it decreases with older age group. Fourth, Yamagishi's generalized trust was highest among the older age groups (high school and university students). The patterns of results for relational trust and generalized trust is different and it points to the importance of understanding trust from the indigenous psychological perspective.
