  • This study aimed to identify predictors of acculturation types among marriage migrant women at the individual and dominant society levels. To accomplish this goal, we recruited marriage migrant women from China and Vietnam, classified their acculturation types according to their scores on acculturation attitudes, and performed multinomial logistic regression on acculturation types by entering marriage migrant women's individual and dominant society level factors as covariates based on previous research. The results showed that most of the participants were classified under integration(N=376), followed by assimilation(N=66), separation(N=60) and marginalization(N=48). Lower household income, lower sense of mastery, weaker ethnic identity and lower social support predicted assimilation as compared to integration. Less education, higher household income, weaker ethnic identity, lower family satisfaction and lower social support predicted separation as compared to integration. Finally, as compared to integration, marginalization was predicted by lower sense of mastery, lower ethnic identity and lower social support. This study expands the current scholarship on acculturation by examining acculturation as an indicator of the psychosocial adaptation of immigrants and by identifying factors that predict specific acculturation types among marriage migrant women.

  • Using the observation technique and in-depth interview, the current study compared various aspects of multicultural education between Korea and Canada and suggested the direction Korea's multicultural education needs to take. As a part of class curriculum, the researcher interviewed the representative of Ansan Foreign Center (AFC) and the president of the Kosian's House, a NGO for multicultural educations. The observations and experiences of the researcher were also used in this study. The results of the current study are as follows. First, multicultural education is provided for the minority group in Korea, whereas multiculturalism is included and taught for every student in Canada. In addition, the current multicultural education of Korea focuses on language and culture acquisition to help the students to adjust. Canada, on the other hand, focuses on accepting other cultures and ethnic equality, creating both identities as their ethnic origin and as Canadians. Second, in language educations, both countries had students enrolled in lower school years than their age. However, the differences occurred in terms of emotional support and availability of expert teachers. Third, comparing teacher's attitude towards multicultural education, Korean teachers were not free from perceiving the multicultural student as 'different', whereas Canadian teachers have been taught since little to consider multicultural students as Canadians, but accept their ethnic backgrounds. Based on the results, the current study suggested multicultural education program for the majority group, increase in number of expert language teachers and teaching assistants, and an education program to teach multiculturalism as part of an identity of humankind. The limitations and suggestions for future studies were provided afterwards.

  • Purpose: This study investigated the nutritional status of ethnic (belonging to minority groups) preschool children in Northern Thailand. Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, the sample group included 147 parents and 147 preschool children (2-6 years old). Participants volunteered to complete a questionnaire on the personal information of children and parents, as well as family- and school-related factors. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, a nutritional status calculator, and logistic regression analysis. Results: A birth weight of less than 2,500 g was related to weight-for-age and weight-for-height. Not having been breastfed and having been breastfed for less than 6 months were related to weight-for-height. An elementary school education level among parents was related to children's height-for-age. Familial unhealthy food consumption for 1-2 days per week was related to weight-for-age and height-for-age. Conclusion: This study reflects the importance of nutritional care for children at the beginning of pregnancy and continuing to the preschool age, as well as the importance of breastfeeding. Families were found to be a key factor in supporting good nutrition among children.

  • 최근 들어 미국의 대도시 지역은 새로운 이민집단이 계속적으로 증가하여 기존의 소수 집단인 흑인과 더불면 소수집단이 몇몇 대규모 도시에서는 백인보다 수적으로 우월하게 나타나고 있다. 이러한 변화는 일반적으로 이들 다수를 형성하게 된 소수 인종. 민족 집단들이 미국 사회에서 백인에 비하여 낮은 사회. 경제적인 지위를 공유하기에 협력자의 관계를 통하여 상승을 꾀할 것이라 기대된다. 그러나 이러한 기대와는 달리 소수 집단간의 관계는 기존에 존재하지 않던 집단간의 경계를 뚜렷이 하며 융화보다는 대립적인 갈등 관계를 보이고 있다. 본 논문은 기존의 민족집단간의 관계에 대한 연구가 백인과 흑인, 즉 다수 대 소수집단의 관계에만 지나치게 집중되어 그다지 연구되지 않은 주제인 흑인과 남미집단간의 갈등을 남미인의 민족성 등장에 초점을 맞추어 살펴보았다. 우선 민족집단의 구분을 신체적 특성을 강조하는 선천적이고 고정적인 구분과, 효과적으로 이익을 추구하기 위하여 결집하는 상황적인 구분으로 구별지어 살펴보고, 남미인의 민족성 등장을 지존에 존재하지 않던 새로운 집단정체성이 이익을 추구하기 위하여 등장한 것으로 보았다. 남미집단의 민족성 등장의 배경으로 민족집단의 경계를 규정하는 정부의 역할-1970년도 인구조사에 새로이 등장한 남미출신 범주와 인종차별수정계획에의 포함-과 내부적인 결속력을 강화하려는 조직의 등장-1960년대 후반이후의 이민을 통한 남미계의 급속한 성장과 더분 조직들의 등장-을 서로 영향을 미치며 정체성을 강화하는 것으로 고려하고, 이러한 성향이 최근의 침체된 경제상황과 복지혜택의 축소 상황아래에서 더욱 심화된다고 살펴보았다. 마지막으로 이러한 남미집단의 정체성 등장에 대하여 흑인집단은 자신들이 역사적으로 경험하여온 차별에 대한 보상으로 획득한 인종차별수정계획의 보호대상으로 인정되어 무임승차하는 것으로 간주하여 반발적인 반응을 보이고 있음에서 소수민족집단간 갈등의 근본적인 원인을 찾아보았다. 흑인과 남미인간의 갈등은 새로운 소수집단간의 현실로 심화되어, 기존에는 그다지 중요하지 않았던 집단간의 경계를 뚜렷이 하는 새로운 현상으로 일컬어진다. 증가일로에 있는 이들 간의 긴장과 갈등은 남미인들이 민족성을 고양하며 기존의 소수집단인 흑인과 경쟁하며 새로운 집단간의 전선을 형성하는 양상으로 이해할 수 있다. 이들 소수집단간 갈등은 도시지역별 각 집단의 인구규모와 전체인구에서 차지하는 비중으로 나타날 최소요구치 그리고 지역경제상황에 따라 그 빈도와 강도가 다양하게 나타날 것이다.
