The purpose of this study was to examine the awareness of racial features, racial in-group classification and preference by Korean children. The study participants comprised 89 children aged 3-5 years. The children performed photograph description and choice tasks. The major findings were as follows: First, older children were significantly more likely than younger children to use racial feature and less likely to use general physical feature to describe the stimuli. Second, children tended to select the South-Asian person speaking in Korean language as a Korean, rather than the Korean person speaking in English. Third, children tended to select the person of Korean appearance speaking in English as a playmate. The result revealed the developmental features of racial awareness. Furthermore the correspondence of language plays an important role on the children's in-group classification whereas the correspondence of appearance plays an important role on the children's preference.

This study evaluates the poverty experiences of low-income single mothers according to the Capability Approach of Amartya Sen. In this approach, the capability to achieve the basic functionings of life, not income itself, is the criterion of poverty. 26 single mothers were interviewed using focus-group interviews and in-depth interviews. 21 functionings on the existence level, 18 on the relatedness level, and 15 on the growth level were found in the areas of work, health, food consumption, clothing, housing, child rearing, and leisure. The results of this study suggest that low-income single mothers can achieve only some of the existence level functionings with significant help from welfare services. They can scarcely achieve higher level functionings in any of these areas.

The effects of a four-week weight control program including nutrition, exercise, behavior modification and meditation were studied in 15 obese children who resided in the Chuncheon area. There were no differences in anthropometric value, health perception, self-esteem and nutrition knowledge before and after the nutrition education program. Food behavior significantly improved after the program, especially in the area of binge eating (p〈0.05). Consumption of ramyon and fried chicken significantly decreased (p〈0.05). These results showed that short-term nutrition education programs did not do enough to change the anthroppometric value of study subject. These results suggest that it is necessary to include parents in nutrition education programs for greater effectiveness. And there is a need to develop an apply systematic nutrition education programs to reduce the weight of obese children.

Research on children should be perferably made in reference with the past thinking if it is to be affirmed by the present and to predict the future. In this respect, Buddhism, which is one of the major original thinkings in the Orient as well as the most influential religion upon Koreans daily lives and attitudes, deserves to be researched in the light of education of children. In this thesis, I have made a trial to delve into the original Buddhistic scriptures to find out Buddha's outlook on home children and arrived at the following conclusions: 1. Concerning human development stages, Buddha regarded the starting point of human life from fertilization instead of birth, even at that ancient time, and the fetal life was devided into 4, 5, or 8 stages. 2. In spite of the numerous scriptures by Buddha, very little is written about children, and even these teaching did not regard the child as an independent entity. In addition, since Buddha was a person of superior enlightenment, he did not regard the age of human beings as of great importance. 3. On the relationship between parents and children, Buddha warned the extra ordinary attachment of parents toward children, because such attachment would be an obstacle in the search of truth. This idea was originated from his thought that the relationship between parents and children was not a single fixed one but of unlimited variation through numerous life times of reincarnation. This idea gives some illumination upon the problems of today's education where parent's exclusive attachment to their children and over-protection are hindrance for successful education. 4. Buddha put emphasis on parents' social duty, by which he meant that parents should care and accept not only their biological children but all children and all living things as if they were their own children. 5. Regardeding the children's role to their parents, Buddha taught that children should respect and support their parents under any condition. Buddha also emphasized that true filial piety was to help parents to improve their religious status by helping them attain the truth, morality, and wisdom. It is my intention to investigate Buddha's View tin children of entering pristhood.

This study aimed to examine the relationship between sexual communication and marital quality. Study data were collected from structured questionnaires completed by 695 married men and women aged in their 30s and 40s. The major results were as follows. For the interaction coordination and postsexual interaction, there were significant differences between men and women, in that men had more interaction coordination and postsexual interaction than women. The results show the stereotype of sexuality in Korean society that men should be more active, and assertive while women should be passive and dependent. For both men and women, those who had more dyadic sexual communication, more interaction coordination, and more postsexual interaction had a higher level of marital quality. That is, sexual communication can function significantly in increasing marital quality. The study results suggest the necessity of training to improve sexual communication skills. For example, in educational programs for couple enrichment, it will be useful to include skills such as expressing ones' desire, affect, and feelings explicitly.

본 연구의 주된 목적은 한국 어린이의 노인에 대한 태도를 명시적 태도와 암묵적 태도로 나누어 그 현황을 탐색하는 것이다. 자기보고식 척도로 측정하는 명시적 연령차별 태도는 사회적 바람직성에 의한 영향으로 인하여 과소 보고될 가능성이 크기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 명시적 태도 측정과 더불어 암묵적 태도 측정 조사를 병행하여 어린이의 연령차별적 태도에 대해 입체적인 이해를 시도하였다. 명시적 태도는 기존연구들에서 사용하는 방식의 자기기입식 조사인 선호도척도, 웃는 얼굴 5점 척도를 통하여 수집하였으며, 암묵적 태도는 아동용 암묵적 연령 연합검사(Children Implicit Age-association Test)를 사용하여 수집하였다. 서울 및 수도권의 초등학교 4~6학년 초등학생 503명을 대상으로 수집한 자료를 기술통계, t-test, 일원분산분석 방법으로 분석하였다. 분석결과, 아동의 노인에 대한 명시적 태도와 암묵적 태도에 차이가 발견되어, 노인에 대한 암묵적 태도는 뚜렷한 부정성을 보였으나 명시적 태도는 그보다 낮은 부정적 성향이 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과는 초등학교 고학년 시기에 이미 노인에 대한 부정적인 이미지를 내면화 하였다는 점, 그러나 편견에 대한 교육, 효 사상 등에 기인하는 사회적 바람직성의 영향으로 인해 명시적 태도 표현이 조절되었을 가능성을 시사한다. 한편 암묵적 태도와 명시적 태도간의 차이는 명시적 태도의 측정 방식에 따라 그 크기가 다른 것으로 나타났다. 노인과 비노인 집단에 대해 독립적으로 응답이 가능한 측정에서는 중립적인 태도를 보인 반면, 독립적인 응답이 불가능한 양자택일의 상황이 주어진 경우에는 노인에 대한 상대적인 선호가 낮은 경향이 발견되었다. 본 연구결과는 아동의 노인에 대한 연령차별적 태도 측정방식의 정교화와 다양화가 요구됨을 의미한다. 또한 아동의 노인에 대한 명시적 태도와 암묵적 태도에 영향을 미치는 요인의 탐색과 함께, 유아와 초등학교 저학년 등 보다 어린아동을 대상으로 하는 후속연구가 필요하다고 본다.

This study attempted to investigate school participation experiences and the need for a school-participation leave for employed parents. A school participation leave is a paid or unpaid leave that guarantees workers to take time-off for school participation regarding children's educational purposes. We reviewed cases of school participation in other countries. There are similar types of educational leave in Russia, Greece, Italia, Sweden, Swaziland, and South Africa. We collected survey data from 1,194 employed parents (794 fathers and 400 mothers) whose children attend kindergarten, elementary, middle, or high-school. This study compares school participation experiences and needs by parent gender. The results showed that 62 % of the fathers and 80 % of the mothers participated in any type of school meetings and events at least once in the previous year. Fathers attended school events such as art festivals and mothers attended PTA meetings, school events, and parent-teacher conferences. The most frequently mentioned reason for non-participation among parents was related to work. A total of 87.7% of the parents agreed that a school-participation leave should be introduced. The results of the logistic regression showed that mothers compared to fathers, college graduates compared to post-secondary graduates, those whose children attended preschool or elementary school compared to high school, and those who had longer working hours were more likely to agree on the introduction of school participation leave. In conclusion, a policy intervention such as school-participation leave should be considered to provide employed parents time to be involved in their children's education and participate in school activities.

Even though gratitude is considered as an important virtue to possess for successful adulthood, little is known about what cultivates gratitude and its benefits associated with psychological well-being among adolescents. By examining gratitude as a daily mood, this study asked (1) whether adolescents' daily grateful mood varied as a function of daily parental emotional support and (2) whether adolescents' psychological well-being varied as a function of daily grateful mood within person across seven days. The sample consisted of 70 adolescents in 8th grade recruited from a public middle school. Participants completed daily diary checklists online each evening for seven days. On days when adolescents perceived greater parental emotional support from mother or father than they typically did during the week, they rated their grateful mood to be higher than other days. With more emotional support from father, adolescents reported more grateful mood not only on that day, but also the following day. While this result highlights the important role that parents play in adolescents' experience of grateful mood, emotionally supportive behaviors of fathers appear particularly promising for cultivating gratitude. Further, daily grateful mood on a given day accounted for the significant variance in adolescents' psychological well-being not only on the same day, but also the following day. Research and practical implications of the results are discussed.
