This study explored adjustment of school-aged children from low-income divorced families. Specifically, protective factors for children's self-perceived competence and behavior problems were investigated with children's coping strategies, perceived social support, parents' childrearing style, and parental stress. Subjects of this study were 126 children of 4 to 6 grade and their custodial parents(38 fathers, 88 mothers) from divorced families. Children's self-perceived competence and behavior problems were not different neither by children's sex nor custodial parent's sex. When children used more positive and less negative coping strategies, and when parents experienced less childrearing stress, children perceived themselves to be more competent. Similarly, when children used more positive and less negative coping strategies, received more social support, they perceived themselves to be more adequate. Children whose parents had high levels of childrearing stress showed more internalized and externalized behavior problems. Furthermore, children who perceived less supports from peers showed more behavior problems.

이혼이 자녀에게 미치는 효과에 대한 국내외의 연구를 조감하였다. 이 연구 중 비교집단이 있고 심리학적 요인의 양적 측정이 있는 연구만을 선정했다. 그 결과 한국에는 두 개의 논문만이 발견되었다. 이 선정기준에 부합하는 외국논문은 92개가 있었는바 이를 메타 분석한 결과를 정리했다. 한국연구의 결과는 모두 이혼이 자녀의 자존심에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났고 반면 사회성은 초등학교집단에서는 영향을 준 반면 중등학생에게는 영향을 끼치지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 미국연구의 경우는 이혼이 자녀의 일곱 가지 안녕감 모두에게 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났지만 그 효과는 그리 크지 않았다. 국내 연구와 미국의 연구를 서로 비교했고 이외에 앞으로 국내학자들이 어떤 문제를 추가적으로 다루어야 하는가를 토의했다.

이 연구의 목적은 이혼 가정 자녀의 긍정적 변화에 영향을 미치는 변인을 확인하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 이혼 가정 한부모의 지각된 사회적 차별 경험, 양육 어려움, 자녀와의 대화시간, 자녀의 인터넷 사용문제, 이혼 후 자녀의 긍정적 변화 간의 구조적 관련성을 확인하고, 가구 소득에 따른 구조적 관계의 차이를 확인하였다. 분석 자료는 2015년 한부모가족 실태조사 자료의 한부모 1,114명의 데이터를 활용하였으며, 연구문제를 검증하기 위해 구조방정식모형 분석과 다집단 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 한부모가 지각한 차별 경험은 양육어려움(${\beta}=.354$), 인터넷 사용문제(${\beta}=.234$)에 통계적으로 유의한 정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 한부모가 지각한 양육 어려움은 자녀와의 대화시간(${\beta}=-.192$), 자녀의 긍정적 변화(${\beta}=-.218$)에 통계적으로 유의한 부적인 영향, 자녀의 인터넷 사용문제(${\beta}=.440$)에 통계적으로 유의한 정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 자녀의 인터넷 사용문제는 부모의 이혼 후 자녀의 긍정적 변화(${\beta}=-.199$)에 통계적으로 유의한 부적인 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째, 한부모가 지각한 차별 경험은 자녀와의 대화시간, 양육 어려움, 인터넷 사용문제를 매개로 자녀의 긍정적 변화에 통계적으로 유의한 부적인 영향을 미치는 간접효과(${\beta}=-.167$)가 확인되었다. 셋째, 다집단 분석 결과, 가구 소득에 따른 통계적으로 유의한 경로계수의 크기 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 이혼 후 자녀의 긍정적 변화를 이끌기 위해서는 한부모가 차별을 느끼지 않을 수 있는 사회적 문화 형성과 한부모의 양육 과정에 대한 공식적, 비공식적 지지가 중요하며, 한부모 가정 자녀의 인터넷 과다 사용을 예방하고 줄이기 위한 실천적 노력이 필요함을 시사한다.

Given the evolving nature of the family unit, a large number of children are being left unsupervised after school. The purpose of this study is to understand the adaptation ability and emotional capacity of these children. To achieve this objective, we investigated the different characteristics of 708 middle-school students in Seoul, dividing them into two categories adult-care children, for whom adults provide care after school, and self-care children for whom no adult supervision was present. In particular, we examined children's adaptation to the school environment and possible self-consciousness difference between self-care and adult-care children, in consideration of their family characteristic; divorced, separated, widowed parent, remarried parents, ordinary families. The results showed that self-care children tend to have a higher rate of shame-proneness and guilt-proneness compared to adult-care children. Furthermore, self-care children exhibited lower school adaptation rate than adult-care children. There was no significant difference in schoolmate relationships between the two groups. In relation to specific family structures, children from reorganized families showed no significant differences in school adaptation and self-conscious, while self-care children from ordinary families revealed low school adaptation and high self-conscious characteristics. The results of this study are critical in the effective analysis and understanding of children's adaptive and emotional behaviors arising from changes in their family structure.

This study sought to examine the effects of current single-parent family policies on the psychological adaptation of family members in single-parent homes, while also confirming that visitation and child support are indeed in the best interests of children in such cases. An online survey was conducted in 2021 for divorced single mothers and their children (aged 11 to 19) living in metropolitan regions (Seoul, Kyunggi, and Incheon). A total of 171 dyads, comprised of single mothers and their adolescent children, participated in this study. Using the collected data, descriptive statistical analysis and structural equation modeling were performed. The major results of this study are as follows. First, visitation with fathers was not significantly associated with self-esteem, aggression, or life satisfaction among the participating adolescent children. On the other hand, when child support was paid, aggression among adolescents was lower than when child support was not paid. Second, neither visitation nor child support was significantly associated with single mothers' levels of depression and life satisfaction. The enforcement of child support guarantees the welfare of children and conforms to the principle of promoting the best interests of minor children. Therefore, child support should be continuously encouraged and supported by agencies in accordance with current law. In order for the implementation of visitation to be in the best interest of the child, the amount and quality of visitation should be secured so that the child can still recognize their non-custodial parents as "caregivers."

The recent study was examined the effects of stress related to self-esteem upon the types of deficiency, the genders, the grades. A Questionnaire was distributed to 172 elementary school students in 4th, 5th and 6th grades. The results of this study were as follows : First, children's stresses were related to their self-esteem and their self-esteem was explained mostly by the stress from home environment. Second, children's stress upon the birth order was higher in the first than in the second and the third birth order. Third, their self-esteem was explained mostly by the support from friends, teachers, and academic fields. Forth, children's stress of divorced and separated families as a reason of deficiency was higher than their stress upon the separation by death.

The purpose of this study is to understand the process of "standing alone" in divorced single fathers on the basis of qualitative data collected through in-depth interviews with 10 divorced single fathers. Data were analyzed on the basis of grounded theory analysis in open coding, and 154 concepts, 39 sub-categories, and 14 categories were derived. According to the results of this study, the process phenomenon of divorced single fathers' standing alone was "the restraint and chaos of pain". This study could identify the consecutive process of four identified stages: marriage life's rupture, pain and chaos, deliberation and decision, and role adaption. In selective coding, the core category was "to pass through the restraint of pain and embrace children and stand alone". There were three types of standing alone: maintaining barely, enduring hopefully, and living initiatively. This study showed the necessity of social support and the basic data by type analysis through the process of standing alone. This study provided substantive knowledge generated through the voices of the persons concerned.

This study examined frequency of contact between parents and their non-coresident, never-married daughters and sons compared to children in other marital statuses. Despite an increasing number of never married adults, little is known about the extent to which they may be willing to remain connected to and exchange support with their parents. The data were drawn from first wave of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA, 2006). For analyses, respondents who had at least one non-coresident child aged 40 or older were selected, resulting in the analytic sample of 2,755 parents with 7,741 children. Both sibling fixed effects regression models and regression models with robust standard errors were estimated using the xtreg and reg procedures in STATA. Findings revealed significant marital status by gender interaction effects on face-to-face contact. Never-married daughters were more likely to see their parents compared to their married, divorced, or widowed counterparts. Never-marred sons, on the other hand, reported slightly lower levels of in-person contact with their parents in comparison to married sons and lower levels of contact compared to divorced or widowed sons. More frequent contact via phone, mail, or email was reported in daughter-parent relationship compared to son-parent relationship, but no significant marital status by gender interactions were observed.
