우리 나라의 해외 입양은 6.25 사변후 전쟁고아와 기아들의 구제책으로 시작되었으나, 1970년대의 고도 성장기 이후에 도 계속적으로 증가하였다. 특히 미국내 한국 입양아는 1972년의 1,585명에서 1986년에 6,888명으로 증가하였다. 이들은 미국으로의 한국 이민자들의 약 13%를 차지한다. 이와같이 우리 나라의 경제 성장에도 불구하고 해외 입양이 증가한 이유로는 한국의 사회 ,문화적 환 경과 해외 입양 정책을 들 수 있다. 한국은 입양 대상자들의 복지 향상과 이들과 관련된 사 회적 부담을 줄이기 위해 미국을 중심으로한 서구 선진국으로의 해외 입양을 추진하여 왔 다. 해외 입양에 있어서 한국과 미국은 세계에서 가장 강한 연계를 맺고 있다. 한국으로부터 의 입양은 미국내 전체 해외 입양의 약 50%를 차지하고 있다. 이러한 해외 입양에 있어서 의 강한 연계는 미국과 한국 두 나라의 독특한 사회, 문화적 상호 관계에 기인한다. 한국에 서는 1960년대 이후 급격한 산업화에 따른 대가족의 기능의 약화와 성에 대한 가치관의 변 화로 많은 미혼모가 발생하였으나, 전통적인 윤리관은 여전히 혈연관계가 없는 국내 입양의 제한 인자로 작용함으로서 입양 대상자가 증가하게 되었다. 반면 미국에서는 미혼모와 그 자식이 사회적으로 용인되므로 입양 대상아의 공급이 감소함에도 불구하고, 여성의 사회적 진출 증가로 결혼 연령과 출산 연령이 높아짐에 따른 불임율 상승 결과 입양 수요는 늘어나 게 되었다. 두 나라의 사회 문화적 환경 변화가 한미간의 해외 입양 연계를 강화시켰다. 미 국내 한국 입양아들의 공간분포에 있어서는 일반적으로 재미 교포의 비중이 높지않은 미국 중서부지역과 북서 태평양지역이 두드러진 점을 그 특색으로 들 수 있다. 이러한 입양아의 공간분포는 한국으로부터 해외 입양을 주선하고 있는 미국내 입양 기관의 입지와 높은 상관 관계가 있다. 이는 해외 입양이 입양 기관이 주요 역할을 하는 강제 이주의 한 형태이라는 점에 기인한다. 즉 입양아는 영아이기 때문에, 그들이 언제 어디로 이주할 것인가를 전적으 로 입양 기관의 결정에 의존하지 않을 수 없다. 더욱이 한국 정부가 한국의 입양 기관과 파 트너 관계를 맺고 있는 미국의 입양 기관을 통한 입양만을 허용할 뿐만 아니라 나아가서 그 입양 기관이 입지하는 주(state)내에서의 입양만을 인정함으로써 이러한 요인들이 한국 입양 아의 공간분포에 결정적인 영향을 미치고 있다.

Objectives: Socioeconomic disadvantages interact with numerous factors which affect geriatric mental health. One of the main factors is the social relations of the elderly. The elderly have different experiences and meanings in their social lives depending on their socio-cultural environment. In this study, we compared the effects of social relations on depression among the elderly according to their living arrangement (living alone or living with others) and residential area. Methods: We defined social relations as "meetings with neighbors" (MN). We then analyzed the impact of MN on depression using data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging Panel with the generalized estimating equation model. We also examined the moderating effect of living alone and performed subgroup analysis by dividing the sample according to which area they lived in. Results: MN was associated with a reduced risk of depressive symptoms among elderlies. The size of the effect was larger in rural areas than in large cities. However, elderly those who lived alone in rural areas had a smaller protective impact of MN on depression, comparing to those who lived with others. The moderating effect of living alone was significant only in rural areas. Conclusions: The social relations among elderlies had a positive effect on their mental health: The more frequent MN were held, the less risk of depressive symptoms occurred. However, the effect may vary depending on their living arrangement and environment. Thus, policies or programs targeting to enhance geriatric mental health should consider different socio-cultural backgrounds among elderlies.

본 연구는 동일 기업의 국내 직원과 중국 지사의 중국인 직원들을 대상으로 직무스트레스 요인의 종류과 스트레스 수준이 어떻게 다른지를 확인하고자 하였으며 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 직무스트레스 관련 주요 원인에서 유의한 차이가 검증되었는데, 한국 직원은 중국 직원보다 경계 및 집단 갈등, 감독 및 평가, 역할과부하, 과제특성, 인구통계학적 특성으로 인한 스트레스 요인을 더 크게 지각한 반면, 중국 직원은 한국 직원보다 역할갈등 및 역할모호성, 가정으로 인한 스트레스 요인을 더 크게 지각하였다. 스트레스 수준에서는 불안, 우울, 신체적 징후 등에서 전반적으로 한국 직원이 중국 직원보다 더 높은 점수를 보였으며, 특히 불안과 우울 차원의 점수는 통계적으로 유의미하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 직무스트레스 요인이 직무스트레스 정도에 미치는 영향에 있어서, 한국인 직원의 경우는 감독 및 평가, 의사결정 및 책임, 가정 요인이 유의미하게 나타난 반면, 중국인 직원의 경우는 가정, 사회적 지원, 인구통계학적 요인이 유의미하게 나타났다. 본 연구의 시사점과 제한점, 그리고 향후 연구 과제에 대해서 논의하였다.

The purpose of this study is to compare the patterns of time use between Korean and USA families. The data for 353 Seoul-based Korean families with two children living in Seoul and 130 USA families with two children living in the State of Utah were collected using a structured questionnaire and time diary. The major findings were as the following: 1. The Korean couples spent more time at personal care, paid work, and travel than the USA couples did, while the USA couples spent more time at housework and social-cultural activities than the Korean couples did. 2. The Korean wives spent more time doing food and clothing related housework than the USA wives did. Compared with the Korean wives, however, the time spent at house cleaning and management, family care and shopping and home management were longer than USA wives. The time U.S. husbands engaged in housework was much greater than by the Korean husbands. 3. Regardless of sex and school level, the Korean children spent less time at sleeping/rest, housework and socio-cultural activities and more time at eating and learning than those of U.S. These time use patterns of the families in both countries may reflect the differences of the cultural contexts, social norms, life styles, and the degrees of urbanization. To fully explain the findings, further study on the differences in social and cultural factors between the two countries is needed.

Caodaism officially came into existence in 1926 in Southern Vietnam and soon became a spiritual phenomenon, in the sense of spiritual and social influence. Despite being sandwiched between political forces and ruling governments, Caodaism steadily grew far beyond its national boundary. After 95 years, Caodaism eventually reached Taiwan when a new small Cao Đài Congregation, approved by top Cao Đài Dignitaries in Vietnam, was established in Zhongli District, Taoyuan City by a group identifying as 'Vietnamese New Immigrants' in Taiwan. This article traced this religious organization's doctrine, philosophy, prophecy and relevant socio-cultural factors and found that (1) Caodaists see the successful spreading of Caodaism to Taiwan as having been prophesied long ago; (2) Caodaists believe that any human efforts by Cao Đài missionaries to spread Caodaism overseas without approval from Divinities could end up in failure; and (3) the similarities in social, cultural, and religious practices between the peoples of Vietnam and Taiwan lay a strong foundation for Caodaism to further develop in Taiwan.

The purpose of this study was to research and compare teachers' preferences for 'Great Math Class' by region and gender. The research was conducted on 261 high school math teachers by using non-probability sampling. As the results of the study, regional preference had no statistically significant difference in all four factors of 'Great Math Class' while gender preference had statistically significant difference only in the factor of teaching (methods) and learning methods. Both region and gender had statistically significant positive (+) relationship with preference for all four factors. This implies that it is necessary to consider socio-cultural factors rather than teachers' perception on class for regional differences in academic achievements in mathematics.
