This thesis is based on an in-depth interview on participation experience of ten immigrants who reside in S Multi-cultural Family Support Center that is located in Gyeonggi-do in Korea Immigration & Integration Program(KIIP). The purpose of this research is to present through it's basic data for improvement in the operation of KIIP in the future by grasping participation process in KIIP that the immigrants have experienced, problems involved in their operation, and related requirements. Major results of the research are as follows: First, the motive for the immigrants' participation in KIIP was to acquire Korean nationality, learn Korean, and prepare for their future in Korea. Second, as a difficulty in participation in KIIP, access to educational institutions loomed large. Third, regarding improvements in the operation of KIIP, marriage immigrants needed to continue Korean language education, whereas other immigrants revealed a demand for opening evening classes or weekend classes. In the final analysis, it seems that for KIIP to provide an opportunity for the immigrants to have a vision for their life in the future, as well as for its realization in Korean society, policy-oriented institutional support that pays attention to their life situation and demands is badly needed.

Unlike daily hassles or minor stressors, immigration is an intense life event that may cause excessive stress. In particular, immigrant parents find themselves in a more stressful situation in that they experience stresses caused by immigration and stresses caused by parenting at the same time. The purpose of this study is to develop and validate an Immigrant Parental Stress Inventory (IPSI), that objectively and comprehensively assesses the stress experienced by immigrant parents within the Korean context. Based on the Immigrant Parental Stress Inventory developed within the American context, preliminary items were refined through a literature review and the discussions of experts and immigrant parents and were empirically validated with a sample of 203 immigrant parents residing in Korea. Through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, six main factors were identified (Factor1 Difficulties in communication, Factor2 Financial difficulties, Factor3 Difficulties in social adjustment, Factor4 Social discrimination, Factor5 Lack of social resources, Factor6 Difficulties in parenting). The IPSI was shown to be a psychometrically sound instrument that is capable of measuring immigrant parental stress within the Korean context. Social service professionals and researchers studying or working with immigrant families could use the IPSI to examine immigrant parental stress.

This study was conducted to develop a nutritional education program based on the health belief model to improve nutritional status among Vietnamese female marriage immigrants in Korea. The education program was developed through literature review, focus group interviews, expert consultation, and pilot tests. Based on theoretical requirements and needs of beneficiaries, the education program was consisted of 16 sessions with nine topics: 'how to evaluate own dietary habits and nutritional status', 'health problems according to dietary habits and nutritional status', 'understanding six food groups', 'healthy eating plan', 'understanding food cultures of Korea and Vietnam', 'traditional and seasonal Korean foods', 'how to cook Korean food', 'nutrition management of family members', and 'practicing of healthy dietary life'. Program contents in each session consisted of activities that could induce outcome and value expectations, self-efficacy, perceived benefits, and barriers and cues to actions regarding dietary behavior. This nutritional education program based on the health belief model would be helpful to implement healthy diet behaviors in Vietnamese marriage immigrants and their families. Extension of these nutritional education programs to health centers and multicultural family support centers would improve the current poor nutrition status of Vietnamese marriage immigrant women. Further studies are needed to validate our program.

This study examined the effects of perceived discrimination on multicultural adolescents regarding feelings of This study examined the direct effect of socially prescribed perfectionism on interpersonal anxiety in upper elementary school students and the sequential mediating effect of dichotomous thinking and rejection sensitivity on this relationship. The sample comprised 306 upper elementary school students (grades 4 to 6; 149 boys, 48.7%) in Seoul, Incheon, and Busan. The Data were collected through an online self-report questionnaire completed by the participants and analyzed using SPSS version 27.0 and MPlus version 8.7 software. The analyses revealed three key findings. First the direct effect of socially prescribed perfectionism on interpersonal anxiety was not statistically significant. Second dichotomous thinking mediated the relationship between socially prescribed perfectionism and interpersonal anxiety, whereas rejection sensitivity did not. Finally, socially prescribed perfectionism influenced interpersonal anxiety through the sequential mediation of dichotomous thinking and rejection sensitivity. In conclusion, although socially prescribed perfectionism does not directly influence interpersonal anxiety, children may experience interpersonal anxiety in situations involving dichotomous thinking due to socially prescribed perfectionism, leading to rejection sensitivity. These findings suggest that interventions for interpersonal anxiety in upper elementary school students should focus on psychological problems attributed to socially prescribed perfectionism.

This study examined social integration policies for multi-cultural families in Korea and the United States through a literature review and internet research. Because the United States has developed and maintained its own culture, this was an appropriate country to compare to Korea in terms of social integration policy. There were four main results. First, both countries enforce assimilation policies for multi-cultural families. Second, most social integration programs and services for multi-cultural families in Korea are carried out by the Multi-cultural Family Support Centers, which are supported by the national and local governments in Korea. However, because the U.S. government has preserved a laissez-faire approach to policies for immigrant families, there are no government-based support centers for multi-cultural families in the United States. Third, both countries focus on the assimilation of multi-cultural families. Nevertheless, the U.S. government promotes a balance between ethnic identity and U.S. citizenship. Fourth, the U.S. government strongly supports second-generation education and development programs that recognize the second generation as a human resource for the future of society. In summary, even though there were some cultural differences between the two countries, the United States' assimilation policies based on ethnic identity would be useful for Korean integration policies. In addition, it is very important to offer opportunities for mutual integration in everyday life between Korean families and multi-cultural families.

다문화사회에서 다문화교육을 담당하고 있는 교사에게 문화다양성 교육에 대한 인식의 전환이 요구되고 2011개정 교육과정 가정과교육에서 다문화적 가치를 강조하고 있는 시점에서 본 연구는 실제 교육을 담당하고 있는 가정과교사를 160명을 대상으로 설문지법으로 2013년 1월 7일부터 1월 25일까지 문화다양성 교육에 대한 인식을 조사하여 분석해보았다. 본 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 가정과교사의 문화다양성 교육은 문화 형평성, 다문화 적용, 다양성 가치, 다양성 적응의 4요인으로 나타났으며, 조사대상자는 다양한 문화에 대한 동등한 활동을 제공하는 문화 형평성을 가장 높게 인식하였고, 다음으로 다양성 적용, 다양성 가치, 다양성 적응 순으로 인식하였다. 다음으로 가정과교사의 인구통계학적 특성에 따른 문화다양성 교육에 대한 인식의 차이를 조사한 결과, 문화다양성 중 다양성 적용에서는 40대 교사가 높게 인식하였다. 근무지역에 따라 전북지역 외의 교사가 전북지역의 교사보다 문화 형평성, 다양성 적용, 다양성 가치를 높게 인식하였으며, 문화 형평성과 다양성 적용에서 15년 이상의 교직 경력을 가진 교사가 높게 인식하였다. 사범대학에서 자격증을 취득한 교사가 비사범대학에서 자격증을 취득한 교사보다 문화 형평성, 다양성 가치, 다양성 적응이 높게 나타났으며, 다문화교육이 필요하다는 교사가 필요하지 않다는 교사보다 문화 형평성, 다양성 적용, 다양성 적응이 높게 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과를 바탕으로 제언해볼 때, 조사대상 가정과교사들은 학생들의 문화다양성 교육을 이해하고 수용할 자세를 지니고 있었으며, 다문화적 특성을 지니고 있는 교실에서 학생들 사이에 공존하는 문화적 매개자이자 조정자의 역할을 수행할 수 있다고 본다. 또한 가정과교사들은 다문화사회에서 문화 형평성이나 다양성 적용과 같은 문화다양성 교육에 대해 높은 인식을 지니고 있었다. 단지 근무지역에 따라 문화다양성 교육에 대한 인식에 차이를 보였으며, 연령, 교직경력, 다문화교육의 교육적 경험, 자격증 취득 경로 등에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 앞으로 문화다양성 교육에 대한 인식이 높은 가정과교사들이 교육현장에서 보다 효율적인 다문화교육을 실시하기 위해서는 체계적인 교사양성교육과 문화다양성 교육에 대한 교사 재교육적 측면에서의 교사연수가 다양하게 실시되어져야 한다고 본다.
