The purpose of this study was to construct and test a social relation model of youth school adjustment, based on Hirschi's social bonding theory and the previous findings in the area of youth school adjustment. The social relation model included parent-child relation, peer relation, and teacher-student relation variables. The sample consisted of two groups, 494 adolescents: 351 high school students and 143 adolescent residents at the shelter for runaways. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were performed. The main finding was that the social relation model of youth school adjustment was significant in explaining the general school adjustment and academic performance. Specifically, the better relations with parents, peer, and teachers, the higher the degree of youth school adjustment. Among the significant variables, teacher-students relation was the most important variable. Based on these results, this study provided some practical suggestions to effectively enhance the relations with teachers, peer, and parents.

The objective of this research is to analyze how main social relation network of middle-aged women such as family, friends and neighbors, etc affects the preference for silver town. For this objective, structured questionnaires were distributed to 309 middle-aged women at the age of 40-59 years old living in Seoul and new cities of metropolitan area. Statistics such as ANOVA, Pearson Coefficient and Multiple Regression were adopted for statistical analysis. The main result of this research is as follows: First, housewives showed higher preference for silver town than people involved in other occupations. Second, though the relation of friends and neighbors among the social relation network of middle-aged women affected the preference for silver town, that of family did not affect significantly. The result of this research suggests that it is necessary to adopt policy considering the relation of friends and neighbors among the social relation network of middle-aged women so as to activate silver town.

This study investigated the relation between children's internal-external locus of control and social comtetency. The subjects of this study were 453 mothers and their children of third and sixth grades in the five elementary schools located in Seoul. The modified version of Nowicki and Strickland's CN-SIE(Locus of Control Scale for Children) was administered to asses the children's internal-external locus of control. To assess the children's social competency, questionaire developed by Lee Kyung Hee(1993) was used. The major findings of this study were as follows : 1) There was significant interaction between grade level and sex in children's locus of control. Significant difference was found in children's locus of control in terms of children's social status level. 2) Significant difference were found in children's social competency in terns of children's sex and social status level. 3) Children's social comtetency was positively related to the internal locus of control orientation. 4) The relation between children's internal-external locus of control and social competency for boys was greater than that for girls. The relation between children's locus of control and social competency was not influenced by children's grade level, but affected by children's social status level. Social status level was positively related to the relation of the two concerned variables.

This paper aims to analyse the recent changes in social welfare services from a relational perspective. Discourses of the privatization of welfare state, the welfare mix approach, and consumerism have provided frames for interpreting the changes in social services in Korea. The nature of social welfare services, being a "relational goods" requires its focus to be in its relational aspects: the relation between service user and service practitioner; the relation between service user and provider; the relation between service user and government; the relation between service practitioner and provider; the relation between service practitioner and government; and the relation between service provider and government. Analysis of such relations will explore their transformation toward formalness and equality in social welfare services. In conclude, the study reveals a process of modernization, defined as a transition from informal relations to formal contractual relations, based on one's rights, responsibilities and obligations. Previous relations, of paternalistic, arbitrary and hierarchical characteristics, can be seen as being substituted by more formal, institutionalized and equalized relations. In terms of service purchasing contract between service user and service provider and employment contract between service provider and service worker are recognized with the latter characteristics. This relational analysis leads a discussion concerning the creation of institutional basis of one's rights and responsibilities in the fields of social welfare services in Korea.

"소셜 네트워크(Social Network)와 검색(Search)의 만남"은 현재 인터넷 상에서 매우 의미 있는 두 영역의 결합이다. 이와 같은 두 영역의 결합을 통해 소셜 네트워크 내에서 친구들의 생각이나 관심사 및 활동을 검색하고 공유함으로써 검색의 효율성과 적합성을 높이기 위한 연구들이 활발히 수행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 소셜 관계 랭크(SRR : Social Relation Rank) 및 토픽이 반영된 소셜 관계 랭크(TS_SRR : Topic Sensitive_Social Relation Rank) 알고리즘을 제안한다. SRR은 소셜 네트워크 내에 존재하는 웹 사용자들의 내재적인 특성 및 검색 성향 등에 대한 관련성(또는 유사정도)을 수치로 산정한 '소셜 관계 지수(SRV : Social Relation Value)'에 랭킹(Ranking)을 부여한 것을 의미한다. 제안하는 알고리즘의 검색 적용 가능성을 검증하기 위해 첫째, 웹 사용자간 직접 또는 간접적인 연결로 구성된 소셜네트워크를 구성 한다. 둘째, 웹 사용자들의 속성에 내재된 정보를 이용하여 토픽별 SRV를 산정한 후 랭킹을 부여하고, 토픽별 변화되는 랭킹에 따라 소셜 네트워크를 재구성 한다. 마지막으로 (TS_)SRR과 웹 사용자들의 검색 패턴(Search Pattern)을 비교 실험 한다. 실험 결과 (TS_)SRR이 높은 웹 사용자 간에는 검색 패턴 또한 유사함을 확인 하였다. 결론적으로 (TS_)SRR 알고리즘을 기반으로 관심분야에 연관성이 높은, 즉 상위에 랭크 된 웹 사용자들을 검색하여 검색 패턴을 공유 또는 상속받는 다면 개인화 검색(Personalized Search) 및 소셜 검색(Social Search)의 효율성과 신뢰성 향상에 기여 할 수 있다.

The goal of this study is to determine the social emotion model as an emotion sharing relationship and information sharing relationship based on the user's relations at social networking services. 26 social emotions were extracted by verification of compliance among 92 different emotions collected from the literature survey. The survey on the 26 emotion words was verified to the similarity of social relation types to the Likert 7-points scale. The principal component analysis of the survey data determined 12 representative social emotions in the emotion sharing relation and 13 representative social emotions in the information sharing relation. Multidimensional scaling developed the two-dimensional social emotion model of emotion sharing relation and of information sharing relation based on online communication environment. Meanwhile, insignificant factors in the suggest social emotion models were removed by the structural equation modeling analysis, statistically. The test result of validity analysis demonstrated the fitness of social emotion models at emotion sharing relationships (CFI: .887, TLI: .885, RMSEA: .094), social emotion model of information sharing relationships (CFI: .917, TLI: .900, RMSEA : 0.050). In conclusion, this study presents two different social emotion models based on two different relation types. The findings of this study will provide not only a reference of evaluating social emotions in designing social networking services but also a direction of improving social emotions.

In the past decade, a paradigm shift from machine-centered to human-centered and from technology-driven to user-driven has been witnessed. Consequently, Social search is getting more social and Social Network Service (SNS) is a popular Web service to connect and/or find friends, and the tendency of users interests often affects his/her who have similar interests. If we can track users' preferences in certain boundaries in terms of Web search and/or knowledge sharing, we can find more relevant information for users. In this paper, we propose a novel Topic Sensitive_Social Relationship Rank (TS_SRR) algorithm. We propose enhanced Web searching idea by finding similar and credible users in a Social Network incorporating social information in Web search. The Social Relation Rank between users are Social Relation Value, that is, for a different topics, a different subset of the above attributes is used to measure the Social Relation Rank. We observe that a user has a certain common interest with his/her credible friends in a Social Network, then focus on the problem of identifying users who have similar interests and high credibility, and sharing their search experiences. Thus, the proposed algorithm can make social search improve one step forward.

The objectives of this study were to survey the level of social capital owned by self-support program participants, and to analyze the direct and indirect effects of social capital on their quality of life. Particularly because an individual's life is highly likely to be influenced by multiple aspects including human relation, this study purposed to determine the mediating effect of job satisfaction in the relation between social capital and the quality of life. The survey used a structured questionnaire, and in the contents of the questionnaire, the quality of life was selected as a dependent variable, social capital as an independent variable, and the job satisfaction as a mediating variable affecting the relation between social capital and the quality of life. The results of this study were as follows. First, as to the relation between self-support program participants' social capital and the quality of life, the network level and the normative level hand an important effect on the quality of life. Second, as to the relation between self-support program participants' social capital and job satisfaction, social capital had a negative effect on job satisfaction. Third, in the relation between self-support program participants' social capital and their quality of life, the mediating effect of job satisfaction was positive and this supports the spillover model among hypotheses on the relation between job satisfaction and the quality of life.
