Many parents recognize the importance of social development during early childhood but they feel difficulty in helping their children develop socially. Recently, many researchers have suggested that maternal cognition is an important factor on their parenting behavior and children's development. Thus, this study attempted to investigate the mother's perception and attribution of parenting efficacy for children's social development. Total 247 mothers of three to five year-old children reported self-questionnaire consisting of Melson, Ladd, & Hsu(l993)'s Perceived Difficulty at Parenting Tasks, Criniic & Greenberg(1990)'s Parenting Daily Hassles and Abdin(1990)'s Parenting Alliance Inventory. Also, 82 of the subject's children were individually tested with McGinnis & Goldstein(1990)'s Skill Situations Measure. The major results were as follows: 1) Mothers' parenting efficacy for children's social development was significantly related with child's age, mother's education and the father's cooperation of parenting. 2) Mothers' perceived parenting efficacy was significantly correlated with some dimension of the child's actual social skill (i.e., maintenance of peer relation). 3) Mothers of young children were more likely to attribute to their children for their parenting efficacy than those of old children. 4) Mothers were more likely attribute to their children than themselves when they perceive parenting difficult. 5) Mothers who perceive parenting easy and attributed it to their children had less parenting stress than those of attributing it to themselves.

본 연구는 중·노년기 성인들의 주관적 연령이 주관적 안녕감과 우울에 미치는 영향에서 삶의 의미의 매개 효과를 검증하였다. 만 40세 이상 성인 394명을 대상으로 자기보고식 설문을 통해 주관적 연령, 삶의 의미, 주관적 안녕감, 우울을 측정하였다. 첫째, 인구사회학적인 변인에 따른 주관적 연령의 차이 분석에서 학력이 높고, 지각된 건강상태가 좋은 중·노년들이 그렇지 않은 중·노년들에 비해 주관적으로 자신을 더 젊다고 지각하였다. 둘째, 젊은 주관적 연령은 삶의 의미와 주관적 안녕감에 정적 영향을, 우울에 부적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 삶의 의미는 주관적 연령과 주관적 안녕감 그리고 우울간의 관계를 유의미하게 매개하는 것으로 확인되었다. 즉, 중·노년 성인이 주관적으로 젊게 지각할수록 삶의 의미 수준이 높아지고, 높은 삶의 의미를 통해 주관적 안녕감은 높아지고 우울감이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 노화과정에서 생활연령보다 젊게 지각하는 경향성이 정신건강의 보호요인으로 작용하며, 이 과정에서 삶의 의미가 갖는 매개 역할이 중요하다는 것을 시사한다.

This study purposes to examine direct effects of the physical environments and indirect effects of the satisfaction with life on the settlement consciousness of the aged, using the raw data of 2015 Busan Social Survey. The 5,324 cases were selected from the raw data of those more than 65 years old. The results were as following: (1) When age, spouse with/without, diseases with/without, length of residence, and number of communicating persons were controlled, the satisfaction with housing, the number of cultural facilities, and public transportation availability affected directly on the settlement consciousness of the aged, but the levels of the satisfaction with the number of parks were not directly correlated with it. (2) The satisfaction with housing and public transportation affected indirectly on the settlement consciousness through the satisfaction with life. That is, the satisfaction with life had mediating effects on the two variables. (3) The satisfaction with parks did not affect directly on the settlement consciousness, but it affected on the settlement consciousness through the satisfaction with life. That is, the satisfaction with life shows the complete mediating effects on the settlement consciousness. These results imply that the physical environments such as housing, cultural facilities, public transportation affect on the aged's settlement consciousness so that they should be age-friendly.

At present, in Korea, due to developments in medicine and technology and an increasing mean lifespan, the expected lifetime for elderly people is increasing (at 70 years, the expected additional lifespan is 14.8 years for males and 18.3 years for females). However, among all causes of death, malignant neoplasm is ranked first for all ages. Further, the incidence rate of oral cancer tends to increase with age. Thus, oral and maxillofacial surgeons have increased opportunity to experience the 'oldest old' patients with oral cancer. Elderly patients commonly have several comorbidities, poor general condition, limited socioeconomic support, fear of various postoperative complications, and perception of short for the rest of their life. In this situation, the patient, caregiver, and surgeon often choose undergraded treatment rather than standard treatment for oral squamous cell carcinoma owing to patient age. In elderly patients with oral cancer, ablation of tumor or reconstructive surgery is challenging for surgeons. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons must evaluate carefully the patient's medical condition and make a decision regarding treatment plans after sufficient discussion with patient and caregivers. We review the literature to consider the factors involved for deciding on a treatment plan regarding surgery in elderly patients with oral cancer.

This study examined the risk components and risk types perceived in the context of purchasing decisions of paper fashion products. This study also identified the levels of perceived risk by consumers and the differences between age groups in risk perception. First, qualitative data were collected through a focus group interview with 7 Korean females in their 20s to 50s. The interviewees were presented with two types of paper materials (undyed and dyed Jumchi-Hanji) and products (bags and wallets) made with the papers. The interviewees mentioned 11 risk components which were classified into five types of risks: performance (easily torn/lack of durableness, lint/pilling/wear-out, lack of water-resistant, no washability, and deformation and discoloration over time), social-psychological (old and traditional image), aesthetic (lack of design diversity, unsatisfactory appearance due to repair), financial (expensive price, lack of usability in daily life) and time/convenience (difficulty in handling) risks. Based on the results of the interview, a measurement for evaluating the risk perception of paper fashion products was developed. Second, quantitative data were collected from 64 Korean women in their 20s to 50s using the measurement. Respondents who were presented with the paper materials and the products perceived the performance risk more strongly than the social-psychological risk and aesthetic risk. In addition, differences between age groups were found: younger respondents perceived performance risk and social-psychological risk more strongly than older respondents, but older respondents perceived financial risk more than younger respondents. Based on this study, strategies for the risk reduction of paper fashion products were proposed.
