본 연구는 다문화가정 아동의 스트레스가 학교적응에 미치는 영향 관계를 알아보고자 스트레스 대처행동과 사회적 능력의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 분석결과, 다문화가정 아동의 스트레스가 학교적응에 미치는 전체효과는 부적영향, 스트레스가 스트레스 대처행동과 사회적 능력에도 부적영향으로 나타났다. 간접효과를 확인한 결과 스트레스 대처행동이 학교적응에 정적영향을, 사회적 능력도 학교적응에 정적영향으로 확인하였다. 그러나 스트레스는 학교적응에 미치는 직접효과는 유의미하지 않은 것으로 확인되었는데, 학교적응에 미치는 영향에서 스트레스 대처행동과 사회적 능력이 완전매개하고 있음을 보여준다. 이를 통해 다문화가정 아동의 스트레스 대처 및 사회적응능력 향상을 위한 학교 교육 방향과 다양한 프로그램 개입의 밑바탕이 되어 학교적응력 향상을 위한 실천적인 함의를 가진다.

Method: Data collection from 9 participants with elderly institutionalized dementia with approval from directors of the institute was done by in depth interviews during a seven month period from May, 2003 to December, 2003. Data analysis was done by repeated reading of the transcribed interviews, and 344 concepts and 39 subcategories were generated. Results: Family members of the dementia elderly experienced various degrees of exhaustion, physically, mentally, and socially. The degree of their exhaustion was related to the severity of the family member's symptoms, and length of the dementia. Coping strategies were effected by economic status, social support from blood related families or neighbors, depth of their relationship with elderly institutionalized dementia. They were even affected by the elderly family members institutionalization. Conclusion: After institutionalization participants felt some guilt from not assuming their responsibilities as children. On the other hand they regained privacy, freedom, security, and comfort, so that their life returned to normal. They even felt more comfort because their elderly were living in a safer environment, and received a better quality of care. Participants had better composure, so that they could even take care of neighbors in need. They hope that there is more governmental involvement in terms of subsidy and numbers of institutes.

This study examined the effects of the division of household labor on the marital satisfaction of husbands and wives in dual-earner families. Data were collected from 193 couples in dual-earner families; the questionnaire measurements were based on recommendations from the literature review. The questionnaire consisted of inquiries concerning gender role attitudes, marital communication efficiency, division of household labor, satisfaction in the division of household labor, and marital satisfaction. Each of these categories had an individual measurement scale that enabled measurement of its impact on marital satisfaction. The major findings of this study are as follows: The couples in dual-earner families showed egalitarian gender role attitudes and high levels of marital communication efficiency. They also reported high levels of satisfaction with their division of household labor and their marital lives. Wives in dual-earner families had more egalitarian gender role attitudes compared with their husbands, and husbands perceived themselves to be investing more time in performing household chores (that is, in the division of household labor) than was perceived by their wives. Husbands were also more satisfied with the division of household labor and marital life compared to their wives. Finally, hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that satisfaction in the division of household labor and in marital communication efficiency (as perceived by the couples) significantly predicted husbands' marital satisfaction. On the other hand, wives' age, marital communication efficiency, and the differences in the division of household labor (as perceived by the couples) significantly predicted wives' marital satisfaction.
