Purpose: This study was conducted to explore experiences of the development of parent-child relations among Korean college students. Methods: The participants were 18 Korean college students. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, and the main question was, "Could you tell me about how your relationship with your parents has developed?". Data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory methodology. Results: The central phenomena of the experiences of parent-child relations among Korean college students were 'new realizations about parent-child relations' and 'competing against parents'. The major action/interaction strategies were 'having an equal status to one's parents' and 'keeping parents at a distance'. Consequences included 'going beyond the bounds of parental guidance'. Conclusion: These findings indicate that students tried to give back to their parents, and also endeavored to stand apart from their parents in order to obtain independence. Their efforts were influenced by their parents' efforts to be tolerant towards their children. The findings emphasize that Korean college students experienced the process of building new, interdependent relations with their parents.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the mediating effects of internalized shame and rejection sensitivity in the relationship between covert narcissism and displaced aggression in late childhood. Methods: The participants included 1,060 children (grades 5 and 6; 547 boys and 513 girls) from four elementary schools located in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, and Chungcheong-do. Results: The primary results of this study were as follows. First, child covert narcissism had a direct effect on displaced aggression; children who perceived higher levels of covert narcissism exhibited more displaced aggression. Second, child covert narcissism had an indirect effect on their displaced aggression through internalized shame and rejection sensitivity. Children who perceived higher levels of covert narcissism reported more internalized shame and rejection sensitivity, which led to more displaced aggression. Conclusion: The findings of this research indicate that individual and interpersonal psychological factors need to be considered to explain displaced child aggression. Further, it is important that we help children to gain positive relationships with family and peers. It will help them break away their negative self or others representation, especially their internalized shame and rejection sensitivity.

Objective: This study examined differences in preschoolers' prosocial decision-making, emotion understanding in prosocial dilemmas based on the age and emotional conditions of a counterpart child, and the effects of emotion understanding on preschoolers' prosocial decision-making. Methods: The participants were 114 children (35 3-year-olds, 39 4-year-olds, and 40 5-year-olds). Each child was presented individually with prosocial dilemma tasks and was asked to make decisions and understand emotions (in prosocial and desire-fulfilled situations) based on the emotional conditions of a counterpart child. Results: First, the 4- and 5-year-olds showed more prosocial decision-making in prosocial dilemmas than the 3-year-olds. Prosocial decision-making was significantly lower when the counterpart child was angry, rather than neutral or sadness. Second, in prosocial situations, the 5-year-olds displayed higher positive emotion understanding scores than the 3-year-olds, And in desire-fulfilled situations, the 3-year-olds showed positive emotion understanding, whereas the 4- and 5-year-olds showed negative emotion understanding. Finally, children were more inclined toward prosocial decision-making when they showed higher emotion understanding in prosocial situations, lower emotion understanding in desire-fulfilled situations, and greater age. These were equal to all emotional conditions of the counterpart child. Conclusion: These results suggest that emotion understanding is an important component of social cognition, which effects preschoolers' prosocial decision-making.
