강화 지역에 감리교 개신교가 1903년 선교사에 의하여 전래되어 10년이라고 하는 짧은 시간 내 교인과 교회의 수가 급증하여 순조로운 정착을 보였다. 초기에는 해상루트를 따라 이주 전파가, 중기에는 계층에 따른 내륙에의 계층전파가, 후기에는 부근 지역으로의 접촉전파가 주를 이루었다. 이러한 전파는 초기에 서양 선교사의 직접적인 선교와 유학자에 의한 자연스러운 채택이었기 때문에 하곡 양명학과의 문화접변(acculturation)이 이루어질 수 있게 된다. 하곡학과 감리교는 문화요소 중 교육, 사회적 관계, 사상, 정신적 목표, 실천분야가 서로 일치하는 양상을 보이게 되어 하곡학자들은 감리교 수용에 큰 어려움이 없었다. 활동장소나 전수전략이 달랐지만 이들 요소는 오히려 감리교의 수용에 유리하게 작용하였다. 전래된 감리교는 초기에는 저항이 있었지만 하곡학의 선택적 메카니즘에 의하여 재해석되어 지위와 역할의 변화가 있은 다음 강화지역의 우세종교로 자리 잡았다. 강화지역의 대다수의 법정리에 감리교 교회당이 들어서고 25개 법정리에는 2개 이상의 교회당이 들어서게 된 것이다. 이는 특정 씨족 중심의 교회가 많아 가족관계를 더욱 중시하는 방향으로 변동하였음을 말해준다. 100세대 정도의 마을마다 교회당이 들어서 있다는 사실은 전래된 감리교가 특정 성씨 중심의 가족관계를 강화시키는 역할을 하였다고 볼 수 있다. 종교가 서로 다른 성씨 집단을 통합하기 보다는 이질성을 심화시키는 기능이 컸다고 보겠다. 강화지역은 가법을 중시하는 문화적 전통을 타파하지 못하고 혼합주의(syncretism) 양상을 띠어 완전히 동화되었다고는 보기 어렵다.

This study explores aspects of Vietnamese students' acculturation and acceptance behavior of K-fashion, based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). In-depth interviews were conducted with 8 Vietnamese international students in Korea. The results of the study firstly indicate that K-fashion acceptance behavior of Vietnamese students reflected eight values of K-fashion, two motives of behavior, and two types of K-fashion acceptance behavior. Vietnamese students generally displayed a favorable attitude toward K-fashion. They all switched to K-fashion styles and actively showed their styles through SNS. Second, there was a difference in K-fashion behavior depending on whether the motivation for acculturation was of an active or inactive nature. The distinction between these two groups was determined by applying behavioral reasoning theory (BRT). Students whose motivation for learning Korean was an interest in Korean culture were characterized by active behavior in adapting to Korean culture, while those whose motivation for learning Korean was for strategic reasons, such as finding a good job, exhibited inactive K-fashion acceptance. This study has academic significance in that it enhances the understanding of Vietnamese consumers through the K-fashion acceptance behavior of Vietnamese students in Korea. Vietnamese students who actively embrace K-fashion play an important role in spreading K-fashion, so it could be beneficial to establish a strategy for promoting K-fashion in collaboration with them.

현대 한국의 문화적, 인종적 다양성이 크게 증가하는 가운데, 일정기간 해외 거주 후 한국으로 귀국함으로써 한국사회 내의 문화적 다양성을 증가시키는 인구가 있다. 특히 매년 2만명이 넘는 학령기 해외거주 귀국자들 중 한국에서 대학교에 진학한 학생들을 대상으로 심층면접을 실시하여 그들의 문화(재)적응 과정을 조사하였다. 해외거주 기간을 5년 이상으로 한정하여, 15명(남7명, 여 8명)의 귀국대학생을 면접한 결과, 11개의 주제가 도출되었다. 이 주제들은 크게 2개의 대분류로 나뉘었는데, 귀국학생들의 과거 경험이 다문화 사회의 일원으로서 살아가는 데에 자산으로 기능한 경우와, 반대로 다양한 문화적 경험이 오히려 개인의 문화적 정체성을 형성하는 데에 방해가 된 경우가 그것이다. 어느 부류에 속하는가를 결정짓는 변인은 한국인으로서의 문화적 정체성과 "경험에 대한 개방성"이라는 성격특질인 것으로 나타났다. 문화적 정체성은 다른 주제들의 유기적 관련성을 이어주는 핵심이었고, 경험에 대한 개방성은 회상적 연구의 특성 상 연구참가자들이 지난 경험에 대해 선택적인 기억을 하고 이를 통합하는 과정에서 사용된 인지적 책략일 수도 있음을 논하였다. 사회적 환경과 개인의 성격특질이 교차적으로 작용하는 단면으로서의 문화(재)적응 현상을 관찰한 결과들을 토대로, 현대 한국사회의 문화적 다양성을 연구하는 데 있어서의 함의 및 적용점을 논하였다.

The purpose of this ethnography is to describe and analyze the wild-goose mother's everyday life, her family relationships, and her social networking. Thirteen mothers from New York, California, and Texas, U.S.A., were interviewed with an unstructured questionnaire. Their residency and everyday schedules are arranged around the children's educational conditions. They have experienced difficult relationships with Korean American immigrants, Korean students, other wild-goose mothers, and Americans. They have failed to develop their social capital effectively due to the language barrier and a cultural capital deficiency. As a kind of family strategy, this separation sometimes strengthens the spousal relationship, preventing divorce, but usually weakens the emotional ties and quality of communication between husband and wife. The acculturation gap between the mother and her children may cause the mother to become alienated and exacerbate the generational conflict.

This paper explores the political significance of a literary work, the hidden side beneath the ideology of founding America in Lydia Maria Child's Hobomok which reconstructs the history of the colonial period. The ideological strategy of founding America on racial discrimination is given a repeated representation in 19th-century American novels. Most works shed a negative light on Native Americans, whereas Hobomok stands out by presenting a positive picture of a miscegenation between a Native American man and a white woman, the acculturation of a half Indian into the white society. Furthermore, Child undoes distorted stereotypes about native Americans, exposing the Puritans' intolerant and exclusive attitudes and criticizing men who forced women to be obedient for the cause of nation and religion. However, Child also shows that she could not be free from the ideology of founding America which insisted on the superiority of the white's racial identity and excluded the Native Americans as beings who were destined to vanish gradually but eventually. Although Hobomok revises stereotypical representation of Native Americans as the other, it also serves for a political purpose, showing a politically inseparable relationship between literary works and the ideology of founding America.

Purpose: This study developed and tested a hypothetical model of health promotion behavior on migrant workers based on the Health Promotion Model and the Health Literacy Skills Framework. Methods: Data were collected from 298 migrant workers in 9 regions across the country from December 2020 to March 2021. The exogenous variables were e-health literacy, occupational stress, acculturation, and social support. The endogenous variables were perceived benefits of action, self-efficacy, and health promotion behavior. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 25.0, AMOS 20.0, and R-4.0.3 program. Results: The model fit was appropriate. Social support had the most significant direct impact on the health promotion behavior of migrant workers. Perceived benefits of action and self-efficacy played a mediating role in the relationship among e-health literacy, social support, and health promotion behavior. Based on multi-group analysis, the migrant worker group with less than 5 years of residency had a more statistically significant effect on the relationship between perceived benefits of action and health promotion behavior than those with over 5 years. Conclusion: Providing social support as a critical administrative strategy to enhance the health promotion behavior of migrant workers is necessary. Furthermore, when developing an intervention program utilizing the internal mechanism between social support and health promotion behavior, a self-efficacy-enhancing strategy is considered to be more effective. Additionally, educating migrant workers with short-term residence of less than 5 years about the benefits of health behaviors is essential.

In this study, we compared the differences and similarities between the Korean food culture and the Vietnamese food culture by surveying food resources and researching the process of Korean food being accepted into Vietnam. We suggest countermeasures for advancing Korean food into Vietnam. We conducted in-depth interviews regarding Korean food with Vietnamese food specialists who ate Korean food. As a result, Vietnamese foodies eagerly recognized that the most representative thing about Korean food was the special properties of its various and affluent side dishes. They were also aware of kimchi, made of various vegetables and condiments, as an excellent side dish compared to the Vietnamese who's staple is boiled rice. Furthermore, the flavor of Korean food was preferred by the Vietnamese who were familiar with foods such as Neue-ok-mom or fermented seafood. It was thought that the new food could be eaten with many vegetables. The specialists replied that the most typical functional property of Korean food was health. The acceptance process of Korean food into Vietnam was based on the acculturation theory. That made the Vietnamese easily experienced strange culture in the case of propagation by whom have already experienced, through the selective filter steps by various images of Korea, and made them accept the Korean food through temporary choose and acceptance step such as recommendations by friends. Globalization strategies for Korean food proposed by the Vietnamese foodies were public relations marketing in voluntary contact environments, distinguishing traditional Korean foods through research and development, and globalization by diversifying the Korean restaurant concept.
