The purpose of this study was to explore the gender relation of children's self esteem and gender equality consciousness of their father by children's perceptions. The data for this study were collected from 805 middle school girls in Jeonbuk province. Respondents answered by self-reported questionnaires. The major findings were as follows : 1) The gender equality consciousness were influenced by all the factors like the educational background and occupation of parent, the type of marriage, living level and grade of children except the type of family. 2) Children's self-esteem level was found to be above average. Parent-child related variables affected on children's self-esteem but children's self-esteem in school was not affected by the parent's education level. 3) The self-esteem and the gender equality consciousness showed a strong correlation, but on the other hand, the whole self-esteem and the self-esteem in school were mainly affected by the gender equality consciousness of fathers.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine current status of somatic symptoms of late school-aged children using the school health clinic and to investigate the influence of perceived attachment security and social support on their somatic symptoms. Methods: For this descriptive study, self-report questionnaires were completed by fifth and sixth graders attending 'A' elementary school in Gyeonggi-do. Data from 216 students were included. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Results: Most frequent somatic symptoms were headache, fainting, backache, numbness in a body part, and muscle ache in that order. More frequent somatic symptoms were reported by girls, students who recognized their family SES as low, students who used school health clinic often and students who were dissatisfied with school life. Somatic symptom showed negative correlations with attachment stability and perceived social support from family and teachers. In the regression analysis, the variables; low attachment stability, female gender, and low satisfaction with school affected more frequent somatic symptoms. Conclusion: Careful monitoring of late school-aged children expressing frequent somatic symptoms is required. Intervention programs to improve attachment security and satisfaction with school should be developed for school children, especially girls, presenting with somatic symptoms.

Objective: This study examined correlates of residential proximity between parents and non-coresident married children. A majority of existing studies on intergenerational living arrangement has focused on exploring factors that are associated with intergenerational coresidence only, despite an increasing number of parents and children who do not live together but close by. Because residential proximity facilitates frequent contacts and support exchanges between the two generations, it is important to understand its correlates. Method: The data were drawn from first wave of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA, 2006), a nationally representative sample of adults 45 years or older and their spouses. The analytic sample consisted of 3,950 parents with 10,946 non-coresident married children. Both regression with robust standard errors and sibling fixed effects regression models were estimated using the reg and xtreg procedures in STATA. Results: Younger, less depressed, and more physically impaired parents lived closer to at least one of their married children (within a 30-minute distance by public transportation). Fathers (compared to mothers), parents living in cities (compared to those living in rural areas), parents with at least one co-resident child or fewer numbers of married children tended to have at least one married child living nearby. With regard to child characteristics, married children who were less educated, homeowners, and had more children lived closer to their parents. Also, sons (compared to daughters) lived in closer distance to their parents. Conclusion: Overall, findings suggest that intergenerational residential proximity may primarily be motivated by the childcare needs of married children or parents' needs for assistance with functional impairment. Also, the traditional patrilineal norms of intergenerational support may still be a critical factor in residential decisions as observed in the difference between married sons and daughters in proximity to their parents.

This study analyzes the relations between perceived family characteristics, experienced abuse and mental health in childhood. For this, this study used row data by questionnaire, analysis, and frequency, ANOVA, t - Test, Pearson' correlation analysis. The sample was 118 children 10-12 years old in primary school. The findings are as follows. First, children perceived family cohesion and family adaptability highly, family adaptability showed a significant difference from the relations with a parent's job, a parent's academic level, and type of residence. Second, it appeared that some children experienced physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Third, in general the mental health of children was good. Their mental health showed a significant relation to economic level of family, and type of residence, creating problems such as depression, anxiety, phobic anxiety, psychoticism. By family size, their mental health showed a significant relation to somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation, and psychoticism, Fourth, family cohesion and mental health perceived by children supported a linear relation to phobic anxiety, and family adaptability and mental health perceived by children supported the reverse -linear relation to somatization, anxiety, paranoid ideation, etc. Fifth, connections with perceived abuse and mental health as well as emotional abuse and mental health were also supported. Further more, on somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation, psychoticism, etc, a reverse-linear re lation existed. Physical abuse supported a reverse-linear relation with interpersonal sensitivity, depression, paranoid ideation, etc. and sexual abuse supported a reverse-linear relation with depression. These findings suggest that school and family have to concern themselves with the mental health of children because experienced abuse and family characteristics do indeed affect the mental health of children.

본 연구는 생애과정관점에 기초하여 세대 간 지원교환에서 단기적 호혜성과 장기적 호혜성의 원리가 관찰되는지 확인하고, 자녀의 젠더에 따른 차이를 비교하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 장기적 호혜성을 살펴보기 위하여 자녀가 성인기전이과정 동안 부모에게 경제적 지원을 받은 정도가 중년이 된 자녀가 노부모에게 지원을 제공하는데 영향을 미치는지 확인하였고, 단기적 호혜성이 발견되는지 알아보기 위하여 현재 중년자녀가 노부모에게 지원을 받고 있는 것과 자녀가 노부모에게 지원을 제공하는 행동 사이의 관련성을 살펴보았다. 본 연구는 '한국 베이비부머 패널 조사' 2차년도(2012년 수집) 자료 중 자신의 부모 중 적어도 한 명 이상 생존하고 있는 베이비부머 남성 731명과 여성 893명을 연구대상으로 하였으며, 기술분석과 이항로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 아들은 딸에 비해 성인기 전이과정 동안 부모에게 더욱 높은 수준의 경제적 지원을 받은 것으로 나타났지만, 성인기 전이과정 동안 더 많은 경제적 지원을 받은 경험과 중년이 된 아들이 노부모에게 경제적지원이나 도구적 지원을 제공하는 행동 사이에는 관련성이 없는 것으로 나타나 장기적 호혜성이 발견되지 않았다. 둘째, 아들과 노부모 사이의 관계에서 단기적 호혜성이 발견되었다. 셋째, 딸이 노부모에게 도구적 지원을 제공함에 있어 단기적 호혜성과 장기적 호혜성의 원리가 모두 발견되었다. 성인기 전이과정 동안 더 많은 경제적 지원을 받은 경험과 현재 노부모에게 지원을 제공받고 있는 것은 중년의 딸이 노부모에게 도구적 지원을 제공할 가능성을 높이는 것으로 확인되었다. 넷째, 딸이 노부모에게 경제적 지원을 제공하는 행동에 있어서는 단기적 호혜성과 장기적 호혜성의 원리가 모두 발견되지 않았다. 딸이 노부모에게 경제적 지원을 제공하는 행동은 아들의 경우와 마찬가지로 자녀가 보유한 경제적 자원과 노부모의 경제적 필요와 밀접하게 관계되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 중년자녀가 노부모에게 지원을 제공함에 있어 장기적 단기적 호혜성의 원리가 나타나는 것을 확인했으며 이러한 원리가 자녀의 젠더와 지원영역에 따라 다르게 나타날 수 있음을 발견하였다. 본 연구는 한국의 맥락에서 자녀의 젠더에 따라 다르게 주어지는 부양책임을 고려하고, 보다 장기적 시각에서 세대 간 지원교환의 호혜성 원리를 살펴보았다는 점에서 의의를 갖는다. 후속연구에서는 보다 다양한 영역을 고려하여 장기적 호혜성을 바라보고, 세대관계가 놓인 친족관계 맥락으로 시각을 확장하는 것이 필요할 것이다.

This study examined short-term longitudinal reciprocal relationships between maternal parenting behavior and preschoolers' compliance/noncompliance, as well as stability in both maternal parenting behavior and preschoolers' compliance/noncompliance over time. The sample which was used for this study was taken from a two-wave (one year apart) longitudinal study of preschool-aged children and their mothers (N = 53 dyads). At both times, mothers and their children were invited to a laboratory and engaged in 25 minutes of play involving three episodes of mother-child interaction. Maternal parenting behavior and preschoolers' compliance/noncompliance during play were coded using the Dyadic Parent-Child Interaction Coding System-III (DPICS-III). Maternal codes included positive, neutral, and negative parenting behaviors and child codes were comprised of compliance and noncompliance. The results revealed that during the play session, maternal neutral and negative parenting behavior and preschoolers' compliance were stable over time. In addition, T1 maternal negative parenting behavior was significantly related to T2 child compliance/noncompliance. However, T1 child compliance/noncompliance were not significantly associated with T2 maternal parenting behavior. These findings suggest that during the preschool period, there are unidirectional effects from mothers to children.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of adult children's marriage-delay on their parents' mental health. Furthermore, this study investigated how the influence of adult children's marriage-delay on parents' mental health could vary depending on the coresidence and employment status of the marriage-delayed adult children. Method: Two waves of Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA) were used for the analyses. Multiple regression models were conducted with 2,938 Korean parents who had at least one child, regardless of gender (aged 33~44). Results: First, adult children's marriage-delay was related to lower levels of parents' life satisfaction. Second, the levels of parents' life satisfaction were low regardless of residing with their marriage-delayed adult children, and the parents who were not living with their marriage-delayed adult children showed lower levels of life satisfaction than parents living with marriage-delayed adult children. Third, only the parents with unemployed marriage-delayed adult children showed significantly higher levels of depression. However, the levels of parents' life satisfaction were low regardless of the employment of marriage-delayed adult children, and the parents of unemployed marriage-delayed adult children showed lower levels of life satisfaction than the parents of employed marriage-delayed adult children. Conclusions: It is necessary to consider the effects of marriage, employment and coresidence of adult children on their parents in order to enhance the mental health of the parents. Also, the effects of marriage-delay on intimate relationships, such as family dynamics, need to be explored more in further research.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to identify factors related to the health behavior in elementary school children at a late school age and to provide basic data to develop more concrete and practical applications for health promotion and disease prevention. Methods: The participants were 2,775 4th, 5th and 6th graders sampled from 10 elementary schools in Busan Metropolitan City and data were collected from 15th May to 30th June, 2010. The collected data were analyzed by mean, percentile, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson s correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression using the SPSS/WIN 17.0 program. Results: The average percentiles for self-rated health, body satisfaction, stress, parent attachment, self-esteem, and health behavior were 82.8, 69.5, 40.9 79.3, 75.9 and 75.9, respectively. There was significant relationship among the levels of self-rated health, body satisfaction, stress, parent attachment, self-esteem, and health behavior. Body satisfaction was the most powerful factor to the health behavior of elementary school children at a late school age, and was followed by parent attachment, self-rated health, self-esteem, and grade in order. These variables explained 26.6% of the total variance in health behavior. Conclusion: Health promotion behavior programs including body satisfaction and self-esteem elevation programs should be applied to children at home and in school and community. To achieve this, institutional and economic support should be continued.

The purpose of this study was the development of the parenting stress scale, necessary to understand the details of the difficulties for a working mother having children from infant to preschooler. Relevant works were reviewed to collect 44 items for the questionnaire from the previous researchs, and additional 34 are combined as a set of measure items. The 78 items were analyzed for the fitness of structure based on the chi-square test and Cramer's V coefficients, and 35 were selected as a final set for the questionnaire. Further factor analysis on the 35 items showed that they could be selected 32 items of the 35 item scale and composed of 3 subscales; namely, the first factor(12 items) as‘typical stress due to the parenting’, the second(12 items) as‘pressures pertaining to the parental role and distress’, and the third(8 items) as’guilty to the parenting by others’. This final questionnaire composed of 32 items was also tested for the concurrent validity based on Pearson's correlation with Goldberg's General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), which is a well-known index to represent the socio-psychological stress. The correlation factor is .41(p＜.001), which justifies the fitness of the newly designed questionnaire. To find the confidence level, the Cronbach α was evaluated, which results .88 for the overall questionnaire and ranges between .76 and .82 for each subcale. This parenting scale can be also utilized as a measure to exploit proper programs for the parent-child relations, parent education and rehabitilation of the family function.
