SOSS-PC was used for data analysis, and the data were tested by ANOVA, t-Test, Pearson's Correlation, Multiple Regression Analysis, and Duncan Test. The major findings are as follows: 1) The college students' familism generally tends to show low scores (M=2.79), indicating the modern familism-individualism. 2) The college students' awareness of parent-supporting is reported to be high(M=4.23); the highest awareness of parent-supporting is financial supporting, the next is service supporting, then emotinal supporting. 3) For personal background variables, male students rather than female students, the students who have parents with more monthly income, and those who have experience in living with grandparents tend to have more traditional familism. 4) Older students, the students with more traditional familism, those who find more satisfaction in family relations, and male students rather than female students tend to show higher awareness of parent-supporting. 5) In causal relations among the personal background variables, the familism, the awareness of parent-supporting, the variables with a significant impact on the familism are gender, parents' monthly income, and experience in living with grandparents, in order of impact. Age, the familism, satisfaction in family relations, and gender, in order of impact, affect the awareness of parent-supporting. Especially, the familism has the highest correlations with the awareness of financial, emotional, and service supporting, and shows considerable causal impact on the awareness of parent-supporting in general. That is to say, the more the familism, the more the awareness of the parent-supporting.

This study is intended to develop a scale to measure familism. Construction of this scale is based on a sample of 448 married males and females living in Seoul. This scale to measure familism is developed by employing a type of item analysis method called correlation analysis. 13 items are selected by correlation analysis, and these are found statistically significant even by analysis based on the criterion of internal consistency. Validity of this scale is evidenced by logical validation, jury opinion and independent criteria. Reliability estimate assessed by Cronbach's alpha coefficients is .759. This scale comprises the following 4 aspects of familism: 1) Support for filial piety and ancestor worship. 2) Integration of individual activities into family ones for achievement of family objectives. 3) Obligation to support individual family members and give them financial assistance when needed, on the assumption that properties such as land, money, etc. belong to family. 4) Mutual aid in psychological and social aspects between parents and married children, and married children and their married siblings. It is concluded that this familism scale represents an improvement on other measure of familism, but that a number of methodological issues remain to be further studied.

A cultural model can change as times go by within one ethnic group. For example, a strong familism has existed for a long time throughout a history of Korea, but it is, just like most social values, now in the midst of a rapid change. Accordingly, Koreans' belief about family values and responsibility for supporting their old parents are changing, too. Especially, supporting parents was one of the highly-estimated traditional values, but it seems to no longer exist. However, one's own rearing experience might be a moderator of association of his or her familism with the ebbing value. Therefore, we aim to address the following research question: What is the relations among college student's familism, their own rearing experiences, and their beliefs about supporting old parents. A total of 155 college students participated in this study. Data were analyzed by SPSS. T-test and ANOVA were used for data analysis. The findings are that college students' beliefs in supporting parents are significantly influenced by their familism and rearing experiences: Those with a strong familism and warm rearing experience have solid beliefs in supporting parents.

From the perspectives of traditional Korean familism, the family was a life-giving and morality-building institution. The family was also a location where people of Chosun society developed an identity as humans. Due to these characteristics of the family in the traditional familism, that is, the family as the basis of life, morality, and identity, the family was a unit that transcends personal desires, thus the institution enjoyed a long-lasting stability. However, with industrialization, the transcendent values have been taken away from the family, and the modern Korean family has changed into a private unit of personal happiness and the interests of only the immediate members. Surely the traditional familism had values that are contradictory to the civil society, such as sexual discrimination and family egoism. In spite of the limits, the traditional familism contains some family values that can be utilized to improve today's family cultures in Korea. For example, the approach to the family as a unit for life, the emphasis on transcending personal interests for the sake of family stability and deep intimacy, and the importance of the family in human lifes could inspire today's Korean families.

오늘날 우리사회에서 존재하는 효는 가족주의 유형의 효와 개인주의 유형의 효로 구분될 수 있다. 가족주의 유형의 효는 부모와 자식이 하나의 경제적 공동체라는 인식에서 행하는 효인 반면, 개인주의 유형의 효는 부모와 자식이 별개의 경제적 공동체라는 인식에서 행하는 효이다. 물론 우리사회에서 이 두 가지 유형의 효가 엄격하게 구분되는 것은 아니다. 이 연구에서 가족주의 유형의 효는 동거와 경제적 지원으로 그리고 개인주의 유형의 효는 부모님 댁의 방문과 연락으로 측정되었다. 그런 다음, 두 유형의 효에 중대한 영향을 미친다고 간주되는 세차원의 요소들, 즉 부모관련 변수, 자식관련 변수 그리고 가족주의 관련 변수들이 그것에 어떤 식으로 영향을 미치는 지를 탐색 연구하였다. 이 연구에서 사용된 자료는 2004년 12월 경기문화재단에서 실시한 "효에 관한 국민의식 조사"이며, 분석 대상은 결혼한 598명의 기혼자녀이다. 주된 발견은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전통적 가족주의에 관련된 속성들이 여전히 가족주의 유형의 효와 개인주의 유형의 효에 유의미한 영향을 여전히 미치고 있음이 발견되려다. 둘째로, 전통적인 가족주의 유형의 효에 충실한 자식이 개인주의 유형의 효도 잘 수행하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 한국인 대부분이 공유하고 있는 전통적 가치관이라고 알려진 가족주의 가치관이 한국인으로 하여금 복지제도와 복지정책에 대한 인식을 갖게 하는데 어떤 관련이 있는가에 대한 연구이다. 가족간의 결속력이 유난히 강하고 가족중심적인 사고가 모든 사회관계에서도 지배적으로 자리잡고 있는 한국사회에서의 가족주의 가치관은 다른 가치관이나 이념 및 의식을 구축하는데 영향을 미치는 것으로 여겨지고 있다. 특히 가족이 그 구성원을 돌보고 양육, 부양하는 것을 당연한 의무와 책임으로 여기고 있는 가족주의적 사고가 복지의식을 형성하고 구체화하며, 복지국가 형태의 수준을 갖게 하는데 제한을 가한다는 비판의 소리가 높다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국인의 복지의식을 전통적 가족주의 가치관과의 관련성 속에서 재조명해보고 그 특성을 파악하고자 하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 분석을 위하여 서울지역의 기혼 여성과 남성을 체계적 층화표집과 할당표집으로 표본추출하였으며, 총 1,131명이 분석대상이 되었다. 분석결과 한국인의 복지의식은 가족주의 가치관과 많은 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 복지제도에 관한 인식에서 가족주의 가치관은 부적 관계를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 가족주의 가치관이 낮은 집단에서 복지제도 인식이 높게 나타난 것이다. 복지책임주체에 관해서는 가난한 사람과 노인영역에서는 가족주의 가치관이 높은 경우 가족책임 성향도 높게, 그리고 장애인과 실업자의 경우에는 가족주의 가치관이 낮은 경우 정부책임 성향을 높게 지적하였다. 그러나 복지정책 욕구에서만은 가족주의 가치관이 낮은 경우 정부책임 성향을 높게 지적하였다. 그러나 복지정책 욕구에서만은 가족주의 가치관의 관련성이 뚜렷이 나타나지 않았다. 가족주의가 높은 집단에서조차 복지정책 욕구가 크게 보여졌다. 이 같은 결과는 가족주의 가치관이 한국인들의 복지의식에 영향을 주는 개념으로 자리잡고 있다는 결론을 내리게 하며, 그럼에도 불구하고 이 전통적 사고가 국가의 복지제공 의무를 회피하는 수단으로서가 아니라 오히려 가족의 기능을 긍정적으로 강화하는 기제로 활용되어야 하는 정책적 함의를 제공한다. 이는 한국인에 맞는 복지모형의 개발을 시사한다.
