Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of problem behaviors, cultural identity and acculturation of North Korean (NK) refugee youth and to suggest an appropriate approach for helping them to adjust to our society based on these findings. Methods: The subjects were 117 NK adolescent refugees in Hanawon. Data were collected by a demographic questionnaire, Youth Self Report (YSR), the South-North Korean cultural identity. Results: Problem behaviors of NK refugee youth were the highest in anxiety/depression and withdrawal behavior and were followed by internalized behavior, aggressiveness, overall problem behavior, externalized behavior, delinquency and positive behavior in that order. Acculturation was the highest in 'separation' followed by 'integration', 'assimilation' and 'marginalization' in that order. No significant relationship was found between acculturation types and problem behaviors except positive behavior. Conclusion: This study provides some important information that we have to develop specific strategies and interventions primarily focused on withdrawal, anxiety/depression, and internalization for the adjustment and mental health of NK refugee youth. It is necessary to explore further research related to cultural identity, acculturation processes, and the correlation between acculturation types and problem behaviors.

This article examines Bong Joon-ho's science fiction/horror film, The Host (2006) and interrogates its depiction of a contemporary South Korean family in crisis. The writer considers the film as a resonant cultural artefact and a manifestation of particularly new-millennial anxieties concerned with the continued involvement of the United States in South Korean affairs, fears of an erosion of traditional family values and mistrust of officious, state endorsed bureaucracy. The Host emerges as a profoundly visceral depiction of an ordinary family set against everyone with no one to turn to except each other.

We aimed to understand how English textbooks in Korea reflect English education policies for improving the English language learners' cultural ability. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, we used the method of analyzing English textbooks because English textbooks are an important tool that most specifically reflects the English policy of a country. This study analyzed middle school English textbooks currently used in Korea. We analyzed nouns/pronouns related to cultures presented in the reading section included in each unit, and compared cultural diversity and cultural identity included in English textbooks in Korea. As a result, it was found that Korea tried to introduce the diverse cultures from the world and promote Korean traditional cultures into the world. So the cultural policy of English education in Korea can be evaluated to be appropriate for cultivating Korea young learners with the cultural capabilities which are essential to be successful leaders in the globalized world.

Purpose - This study investigated the relationship among cultural disposition (Chemyeon, Noonchi, Woozzul), media use, and attitude toward luxury goods consumption. Research design, data, and methodology - We analyzed online survey data for 300 Korean Women between 20 and 39 years of age who lived in Seoul, capital of South Korea. We used multiple regression analysis to examine the relative influence of cultural orientation on cognition of luxury goods, Sobel test. to determine mediating effect, and a two-way analysis of variance in IBM SPSS 23.0. Results - The finding suggests that cultural disposition (Chemyeon, Noonchi, conspicuous Woozzul) correlated significantly with perceived self-identity, attitude toward luxury goods. The effects of Chemyeon, Noonchi, and selfish Woozzul on the attitude toward luxury goods was fully mediated by perceived self-identity. However, association between conspicuous Woozzul and attitude toward luxury goods was partially mediated by perceived self-identity. Regarding media effects, the results indicate that there were interaction effects between selfish Woozzul and amount of time spent on TV on attitude toward luxury goods, as well as between selfish Woozzul and amount of time spent on Internet. Conclusions - These findings suggest that luxury goods consumption of Korean young women is consumer behavior that reflects individual cultural disposition and media use.

본 연구는 한국의 문화정체성을 표현하는 대표적 이미지어들을 도출함으로써 디자인 분야에서 활용할 수 있는 한국의 정서와 이미지를 구체적인 어휘로 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 연구 방법으로는 1990년대에 발표된 복식과 건축 디자인 논문 중에서 한국의 이미지를 현대적 의미로 재해석한 논문을 중심으로, 디자인 요소, 디자인 원리, 추상성, 표현성 그리고 기능성의 요인과 관련된 이미지어를 유형별로 범주화하여 분석하였다. 복식과 건축디자인 분야를 대상으로 한국의 이미지에 대한 공통성과 차별성을 규명한 결과, 이제까지 보편적으로 인식되어오던 한국의 이미지와 함께 새로운 측면도 발견할 수 있었다. 즉, 이제까지 한국의 문화 정체성을 나타낸다고 인식되어온 무채색, 소박함, 한과 비애, 간접적 표현 등을 나타내는 이미지 외에도 화려한 색채, 고귀함, 즐거움 등과 같은 적극적이고 능동적인 표현도 한국의 문화정체성을 나타내는데 중요한 비중을 차지하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 건축디자인에서는 복식디자인보다 기능적이고 합리적인 이미지가 도출되었다.

본 연구는 한국청소년정책연구원에서 수행한 다문화 청소년 패널조사 자료를 활용하여 다문화 청소년의 이중문화 수용 태도가 문화 적응 스트레스와 국가정체성에 어느 정도 유의미한 영향을 받는지를 검증하는 것이다. 연구 대상은 다문화 청소년 패널조사 2기 1차 자료로 2019년 기준 초등학교 4학년에 재학하고 있었던 다문화 청소년 2,246명을 분석자료로 활용하였다. 연구 결과 이중문화 수용 태도는 국가정체성, 문화 적응 스트레스 순으로 유의미한 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이 의미는 국가정체성이 높고, 문화 적응 스트레스를 적게 받을수록 이중문화 수용 태도가 높다는 것이다. 한편 다문화 청소년의 유형에서는 국제결혼 가정이 가장 낮은 이중문화 수용 태도를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 학생들이 거주하는 지역 규모에서는 대도시가 가장 낮은 이중문화 수용 태도를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 다문화 청소년의 이중문화 수용 태도에 문화 적응 스트레스와 국가정체성, 다문화 가정의 유형과 거주하는 지역이 주요한 변인으로 작용한다는 것을 시사하는 것이다.

This study seeks to find new strategies for the development of Tapgol Park and to identify Programs to promote this development. In addition, the study specifies the purpose and meaning of these efforts by revealing social aspects not apparent in the physical form of the site, and reading how these aspects influenced the development of Tapgol Park Because the focus of the study lies in reading cultural aspects of the site which have to be understood within the context of their social circumstances, the study drew materials from mass media such as newspapers and literary magazines, which best reflect these social aspects. Interpreting the over 100 you history of Tapgol Park in a cultural context, the study found a meaningful suggestion that such a small urban place located in a city forms a cultural identity in the course of communicating with its surrounding social situations. The change in the identity of Tapgol Park has been sensitive to changing social circumstances rather than the physical structure of the space. The original function of Tapgol Park as a traditional city park has gradually changed towards strengthening social functions, much like the character of an urban plaza. In the process of change the park developed a unique culture. This park culture, however, came not from the original design but from its close interactions with social circumstances changing over time. At the same time, the change in identity seen in Tapgol Park has not been fresh formed. It can be said that the inertia came into light with the potential powers under the place over the long history having been combined into the then social circumstances. In early 2002, the park re-opened, refurbished as one of the relics of the March 1st Movement. Investigating how cultural inertias that have been developing in various forms to date will change and be maintained in this new paradigm is an important assignment for researchers.
