This study suggestes that the improvement of oral care through on investigation of the effects of oral care on children by parents. This investigation was done on Sep. 29 1999 through Oct. 8 examining 376 of elementary, 1grade, 2grade, 3grade students in Kyunggi-Do. The content of the questions was analzed with a t-test and a one-way ANOVA; the relation to the oral care on children by parents with oral care behavior was analyzed by a Pearson's Correlation Coefficient. The results are as follow; 1) Statistically women were higher(F=-2.675, p<0.01). The average of the oral care of children was 2.34, man averaged 2.29, woman are raged 2.32. Statistically women were also higher(F=4.682, p<0.052). 2) The more educatior the mother had higher, the higher the grade. Statistically there was a difference(F=6.756, p<0.01. The oral care of children above Uni graduate(M=2.38), high (M=2:23), middle graduate(M=2.Z3). Statistically, the higher the academic degree, the more optimistic(F=4.114, p<0.05). 3) In the oral care on children by parents, when the conversation with the family was often 2.17, there was little difference(F=7.343, p<0.01). In the oral care of children was 2.45, there was little difference(F=7.343. p<0.01). As a result, the conversation with family affects the behavior. 4) In the oral care of children, if the food that they like was fruits, vegetables, and fresh food, the average was 2.37, very high. There was little difference in other cases(F=-3.179, p<0.05). We can conclude that fresh food affects the oral care of children. 5) In the oral care on children by parents, when the course of knowledge on the oral care was viewed by a grandfather(M=2.02), grandmother(M=2.05), father(M=2.14), mother(M=2.08). There was little difference(F=2.666, p<0.05). 6) In oral care, if the level of income was viewed high level(M=2.42), middle(M=2.34), 10w(M=1.88), there was a little difference(F=3.300, p<0.05). 7) The relation of the oral care on children by parents and the oral care was normal. In other words, the more management by parents, the more management by children.(p<0.01) Therefore in this study, the oral care on children by parents effect the oral care behavior of children. To improve the mouth health of children, the parents's interest in their children must be constant. Also, it is needed to develope an education program where parents and children can be educated.

This study was conducted to measure the degree of Korean Gender Egalitarianism among the students from six different high schools(132 girls, 127 boys) in Sunchon si, Chunnam province from Dec. 7th to Dec. 15th in 1999. The survey on gender egalitarianism was done in relation to the public understanding of the subject matter, parents' hug times, and parent's communication skills. Korean gender egalitari- anism scale was standardized by Korea Woman Developmental Institutes in 1999. The data was analyzed by SAS program. Results were as follows: 1) Generally, girls are more conscious of gender egalitariannism than boys(t=-13.79, p<.001). Above all, the younger the students are, the more they feel equal(F=8.01, p<.01). In sibling cases, two sisters have the highest level of gender egalitarianism while two brothers have the lowest level of gender egalitarianism(F=9.20, p<.001). Students who come from religious families are more inclined to demonstrate gender equality(t= 2.42, p<.05). However, there is no difference in relation to the parents' ages or academic background or harmony within the family. 2) There is no difference that girls and boys generally communicate with their parents. In ages, 17 years old students communicate more than 18, 19 with parents(father F=3.97 p<.05ㆍmother F=5.31, p<.01). That is, the younger students can communicate with their mothers more often than the older ones. In sibling cases, two sisters have more openly communication to parents while two brothers have(F=2.84, p<.05). Students communicate with their parents regardless of parents' academic background. But those from the family in harmony have more open chance to communicate than those who are not in hamony(father F=21.66, p<.001ㆍmother F=13.37, p<.001). They can comm -unicate with their parents better when their fathers hug them than when they didn't get hugs(father t=-4.76, p<.001ㆍ mother t= -2.34, p<.05). They can also communicate with their patents better when their mothers hug them once or more than when they didn't get hugs(father t=-3.78, p<.001ㆍmother t=-5.64, p<.001). 3) There is no difference whether the father hugs or not, but the mother's hug is very important because students whose mothers hug them once or more have significantly more gender egalitarianism than those students whose mothers didn't do(t=-3.98, p<.001). Based upon these results, it is recommended that we reconsider the role of gender in the socialization of high school students and also include gender egalitarianism in sex education. In this context, further study should be done for the improvement of students' communication within the framework of egalitarianism based upon parents' hugs(semi-language). Continued study is especially important in regards to the mother's hug and its enhancement of the students' gender egalitarianism.

This study aimed to investigate how child neglect abuse by parents, children's intimacy with teachers and peer attachment influenced boys' and girls' psycho-social maladjustment(aggression, social withdrawal and depression). The subjects were 2,264 elementary school students(boys: 1,180, girls: 1,084) in upper grades participating in the Korea Child Youth Panel Surveys. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, correlations and hierarchical regressions. The main results of this study were as follows. Firstly, regardless of children's sex, as child abuse levels by parents are higher, so children's aggression levels are higher. Also, children's intimacy with teachers and peer attachment moderated the effects of child neglect abuse by parents on both boys' and girls' aggression. But the patters of moderating effects were differed in children's sex. Secondly, child neglect abuse by parents didn't influence boys' and girls' social withdrawal and boys' peer attachment moderated the effects of child neglect by parents on boys' social withdrawal. Finally, child abuse by parents strongly influenced boys' depression, but child neglect by parents strongly influenced girls' depression. Also, there were no moderating effects of children's intimacy with teachers and peer attachment on the relation between child abuse neglect by parents, and boys' and girls' depression.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relation of stress and perceived social supports to problem behavior during childhood, with particular emphasis on the main and stress-buffering effects of perceived social supports. Such demographic data as parents' educational level, father's job, mother's employment, family income, and child's sex and age were also in chided in the study. Statistical techniques were ANOVA, t-test, and multiple regression. Major findings were that behavior problems of children increased with children's stress and decreased by perceived social supports. Perceived social supports moderated the relation between children's stress and problem behavior. Children's stress and perceived social supports differ by educational level of parents, father's job, and family income. Behavior problems of children were differed by family income, father's educational level and job. Children's stress and behavior problems differed by sex and age in some sub-domains, but perceived social supports did not differ by children's sex and age. Perceived social support from friends was the most influential factor affecting children's problem behavior. Therefore, friends may be considered the most important source of social support that is available for adjustment and for coping with stress during childhood.

Financial transfers between parents and their adult children are a growing trend in Korean society. This study investigates the relation of household assets to intergenerational financial transfers among the middle-aged and focuses on the influences of various types of assets on financial transfers from the middle-aged to their older parents and adult children. The paper presents an analysis of data from the second wave of KReIS on the financial transfers provided by those aged 50-69 years to their parents and children. The results show that around one-fifth of the respondents reported providing financial resource transfers to their parents, and that about one-third of the respondents provided financial transfers to their children. In terms of the other direction of financial transfers, a small percentage of the respondents received financial transfers from their parents; otherwise more than half of the respondents reported receiving financial transfers from their children. The influences of various types of assets are statistically significant on financial transfers to parents, to adult children and from adult children. Specifically the size of financial assets is associated with a likelihood of providing financial resource to both parents and children.

The increase of female employees tends to change the traditional division of the roles of members in the family, and as a result it changes the idea of family relation and the extent of how housewives with job feel happy toward their marriage. Therefore, it may be very significant to study what attitude woman job holders as housewives have toward their family, especially parents-in-law. In this paper the writer has sampled as an exemplary group woman teachers who teach home economics in high schools in Seoul, and investigated what opinion they have toward the problem of living together under the same roof with their parents-in-laws and otherwise of financing them in an older age. This analysis is based upon 130 questionnaires collected as proper data out of 138. The conclusion made from the analysis is as follows : (1) as regards the living together under the same roof if necessary in the future, one-fifth of the group approves in affirmative terms ; (2) but when parents-in-law become older, about half of the teachers wish to live with them in the same home and except the indefinite few, one-third of them taken the negative position ; (3) finally, the great majority (84%) regard as their duty the financial support in any case when parents-in-law become older, and only five per cent answer in negative. This analysis leads to the further conclusion that the idea of family relations cherished by high school teachers of home economics is not yet far off the traditional relationship with the intention of gradual improvement, but on the other it still sticks to the traditional line without too much impairing it.
