This study investigated the effect of maternal interactive styles, parenting stress, home environment stimulation and social support on poverty in early childhood. Participants consisted of 145 mothers and their children living in Seoul and Kyounggi Province. Data included videotaped observations of parent-child play and standardized measures of social support, parenting stress, home environment, and child development. Results of the t-test indicated significant differences among father's age and education, mother's age and education, and income over the variable of poverty. Regression analyses indicated that home environment stimulation was the strongest predictor of variance in children's development. Results from the regression analyse were supportive of the hypothesis that home environment moderates the impact of poverty on children's development.

It is generally blown that foster children often have special needs such as disability and psycho-behavioral problems. It is also known that foster parents will provide better care with those children when they are coping well with foster children with special needs. The purpose of the study was to explore the perceptions foster parents have and what factors affect their decisions to care for children with special needs. Literature review reveals that successful foster parent care is related to the foster parents' motivation, role perception, and social support systems. foster parents' motivation is related to 'altruism toward foster child', 'the egocentrism of the foster parent', 'previous experience with adoption' and 'the past experiences of the foster parent'. Role perceptions of the foster parent consist of 'supporting the internal system of the foster child' and 'supporting the external system of the foster child'. The social support system is characterized as the limited notions of a family oriented concept. In addition, a foster parent's decision to look after special-needs children is related to their motivation while the decision to foster disabled children is related to the levels of available social support systems as well as motivation. The results of the study implies that the motivation level and that of social support system are closely related to different aspects of the special-needs foster child; this factor should also be considered when recruiting foster parents or placing special needs children.

The purposes of this study were to find correlation between family abuse experience, family stress, social support, family resiliency and happiness in university students, and to explore the mediating role of social support and family resiliency between family abuse experience, family stress and happiness. The subjects were 295 university students. The data were analyzed by means of frequency analysis, Pearson's correlation and structural equation modeling with SPSS and AMOS. Instruments were Lee's(2010) Happiness Scale for university students, Strauss'(1988) CTSP(Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scale), McCubbin's(1981) FILE(Family Inventory of Life Events and Changes), Yu's(2004) Family resiliency of Family Health Scale and Park's(1985) Social Support Scale. The major findings were as follows; Family abuse experience was positively correlated with family stress and negatively correlated with social support, family resiliency and happiness. Family stress was negatively correlated with family resiliency. Social support and family resiliency were positively correlated with happiness. Family abuse experience positively influenced family stress and negatively influenced social support and family resiliency. Social support positively influenced family resiliency and happiness. Family stress negatively influenced family resiliency. Family resiliency positively influenced happiness.

The Korean government implemented better support for adolescent single-parent families by expanding the coverage of the Single-parent Family Support Act in 2010. In order to understand the effect, this study verified the moderating effect of the single-parent family policy's support for child rearing in the context of adolescent female single-parent's stress levels and education sustainability. This study utilized part of the National Youth Policy Institute's 'Research on the Actual Condition of the Adolescent Pregnancy, Birth and Rearing Children'. Participants of the study were 248 adolescent single-parents aged 24 and below. The findings and discussion of this study are as follows. First, the stress level of adolescent female single-parent in continuing studies was lower than those for discontinued studies. Students who discontinued their education in the middle of studies showed an increase in life stress level relative to age because they had a low level of education and had discontinued studies before pregnancy. Second, the public nanny service has been verified as an element to increase the continuation of education by controlling the level of stress. It is advisable to fortify and expand the scope of support for childcare services in the form of a study assistant or child education assistant. Last, adolescent single-parent childcare subsidies have been verified as a direct factor that raised the meaningful level of education continuity potential to a meaningful standard that can be seen as a more effective method than general policy support for single-parent families.

본 연구는 생애과정적인 시각에서 성인기 이전 생활사건과 사회적 지지에 따라 중년기 성인의 심리적 복지감에 차이가 있는지, 그리고 중년기 성인의 심리적 복지감에 대한 성인기 이전 생활사건과 사회적 지지의 영향을 규명하고 그에 대한 실천방향을 모색하는 데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위하여 40-59세의 중년기 성인 남녀 511명의 자료를 분석하였다. 연구결과는 성인기 이전 생활사건 경험여부와 사회적 지지여부에 따라 중년기 성인의 심리적 복지감에 차이가 있었고, 성인기 이전 폭력, 죽음, 부모관련 생활사건과 정서적 지지, 정보적 지지는 중년기 성인의 심리적 복지감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 성인기 이전 부모관련 생활사건 경험에 따른 중년기 성인의 심리적 복지감은 성인기 이전 정보적 지지에 의해 완화되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 예전의 경험이 누적되고 서로 맞물려서 지속적 영향을 미치며 개인의 생애발달 과정이 의미있는 타인의 생애과정과 밀접하게 연관되어 있다는 생애과정관점의 견해를 지지한다. 또한 심리적 복지감을 위한 개입에 있어서 생활사건을 예방하는 것뿐만 아니라, 생활사건 경험 이후 보호해줄 수 있는 사회적 지지를 증가시키는 것이 필요한데, 이때 생활사건 영역에 적합한 구체적인 전략이 필요하다는 것을 시사한다.

Objectives : This study examined the relationship of parent-related negative life events with mental health and delinquent behaviors among Korean adolescents. Methods : A total of 2,976 high school first-grade pupils (1,498 boys & 1,478 girls) taking part in the third wave of Korean Youth Panel Survey completed a self-administered questionnaire regarding parent-related life events, depressive feelings, suicidal ideation, delinquent behaviors, demographic characteristics, parental socioeconomic status, social support, and social capital. Data analyses were conducted using multivariate logistic regression. Results : After adjusting for all covariates, the more parent-related negative life events adolescents experienced throughout their whole life, the more likely adolescent were to have mental and behavioral problems. A significant dose-response relationship between them was more clearly observed in girls than in boys. The experience of parentrelated negative events during childhood was significantly associated with suicidal ideation and delinquent behaviors for boys, and with depressive feelings for girls during adolescence. Indeed, parental social support, social capital, and having a close friend with delinquent behaviors, especially for girls, partially mediated the relationship between parent-related negative life events and both outcomes. Conclusions : The study showed a clear dose-response relationship of frequency of parent-related negative life events with poor mental and behavioral health for both genders. The residual effect of being exposed to parent-related events during childhood on mental health and delinquent behaviors during adolescence still remained.

Participants in this study of variables that contribute to child abuse were parents of 1,094 families with children under the age of 18. The instrument, Straus's Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scales(1998), consists of 3 subscales : physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect. The degree of child abuse varied by age of child and parents, parents' marital satisfaction, the stress of bringing up children, social support, and family setting. There was a higher tendency to child abuse among alcoholic parents, dissatisfaction with marriage, parental child rearing stress, and isolation from social support. Educational and social welfare suggestions were made for the prevention and treatment of child abuse.
