The present study aims to investigate cultural similarities and differences that influence interracial couples (between Korean men and Vietnamese women) when adapting to Korean family culture in terms of interculturalism. The interviewees consisted of three generations. This study used in-depth interviews. Data was collected from January to August 2008. 15 families (45 people) were used for analysis. Results were as follows: (1) the patriarchal culture of the two nations had a positive influence on the adaptation of members during family interactions(2) the culture of filial piety is a value system that both nations believe is important. However, different rituals had a negative influence on the practice of filial piety (3) the community-oriented culture is regarded as important in the two nations. However, Vietnamese wives cannot lead a free community life because Koreans see them in negative terms (4) the Vietnamese traditional wedding custom called "NopJjeOh" had a negative influence on the adaptation to the Korean family culture (5) the preference for sons in Vietnam is not as high as in Korea. This difference had a negative influence on adaptation (6) clear differences between the daily lives of the two nations had a negative influence on adaptation to Korean family culture. In conclusion, Korea and Vietnam have many similarities in culture, which enable Vietnamese wives to adapt to Korean culture more easily than other foreign wives. If various programs are developed to promote the mutual understanding between both cultures based on these research findings, it would further contribute toward social integration in Korea.

Purpose: This study was to explore adaptation experience to family among women who immigrated for marriage. Specific aims were to identify problems immigrant women face as family members and how they interact with other family members. Methods: Grounded theory methodology was utilized. Data were collected from iterative fieldwork with individual in-depth interviews from 6 immigrant women as key informants, and 2 of their husbands and 2 of their mothers-in-law as general informants. Results: Through constant comparative analysis, a core category emerged as "tearing down the wall in communicating". Causal conditions were feeling frustrated in one's expectations, differences in language and life style, differences in recognition, and perceptions of discrimination and prejudice. Strategies were learning the Korean language, learning Korean culture, managing stress, mediating differences between family members, and introspecting. Intervening factors were support systems, burdens of child-rearing, and the condition of one's health. Consequences were rooting oneself in one's family and accepting one's life as it is. Conclusion: Results of the study indicate that there is a need for nurses to understand differences in communication with family members among immigrant women and to provide information and emotional support to improve the adaptation of these women to their Korean families.

With the recent increase in the number of foreign settlers in our country, we need a societal system which they can adapt well in. In order to successfully settle in our society, the marriage immigrants who especially plan a life in a new environment should be supported with support programs, especially to help them adapt to their very basic housing environment as their daily environment. From this research, through a program analysis of multi-cultural family support centre, the societal support helping to adapt to the residential environment for marriage immigrants in each nation was examined, and grasp an understanding on their adaptation to the housing environment by conducting interviews about housing environment adaptation examples. From the result of analyzing the 100 programs of the multi-cultural family support system, it could be seen that for the marriage immigrants to adapt, various programs are needed. In other words, there are effective programs for the early settlement of the marriage immigrants such as Korean education, tradition culture education, provision of district daily information, but it could be seen that heavier education was needed for, than for the sake of the marriage immigrants who took such education. Through adaptation case examples of 8 marriage immigrants from 5 different countries, it was realizable that the housing problems the marriage immigrants go through, are not limited to themselves, but also are related to the safety of their family and adaptation problems with their children. Therefore, by developing an adaptation program to help with housing environmental adaptation, the lives of the marriage immigrants' families will be supported, and will support early settlement, which then basic preparation for human resources as district societal use will be needed. By developing a program with a housing environmental professional, and if there is a positive effect and achievement, it is expected that there will be a standard program system available for all marriage immigrants.

The purpose of this study is to offer suggestions to help immigrated youths of multicultural families become successful members of Korean society while preparing to enter schools or becoming involved in social activities. The study examined the following three issues using grounded theory: (1) the characteristics of cultural adaptation for immigrated youths of multi-cultural families; (2) their acculturation processes; and (3) their different patterns of acculturation experience. The process of acculturation involves (1) feeling timid, (2) feeling regretful and angry, (3) looking around and making an attempt, (4) feeling difficulty and feeling left out, (5) accepting reality and seeing Korea in a positive light. The core of acculturation among the immigrated youths of multicultural families is a limited living in an unfamiliar culture. Five acculturation patterns were found in the current study: (1) Someone who is actively striving for future dreams; (2) someone who adjusts himself/herself to circumstances without plans; (3) someone who passively makes an effort; (4) someone who accepts reality to continue education; and (5) someone who temporarily stays for financial reasons.

This study aims to investigate the process of family distress to family crisis in multi-cultural families based on Hill's ABCX model. For this study, the qualitative study with depth interview was conducted with 8 multi-cultural families(e.g. husband, wife, child and elderly parent). The depth interview contents were marriage process, family relation or family interactions, social adaptation process, and social services needs. Results showed the followings: First, multi-cultural families had multiple distressors so that these distressors made multi-cultural families vulnerable to family crisis. Second, Hill's ABCX model explained the process of family distress to family crisis in the multi-cultural families in that they had few resources(both individual resources and family resources) and even worse they had negative cognitions about their own multi-cultural family systems. This situation made them difficult to solve their problems and to cope with their distressors. Third, major distressors in multi-cultural families were founded in this study. These were different cultural gap, communication difficulties, social discrimination to multi-cultural families, and lack of social support networks. Discussion will address suggestions about effective family policies for multi-cultural families in order to make them resilient to family crisis and help to well-adjusted in the korean society.

본 연구의 목적은 성장기 가정 내에서 경험한 부모간의 폭력 '관찰 경험'과 부모로부터 받은 폭력 '행동 경험'이 성인 초기 적응에 미치는 영향을 알아보고 이들 두 종류의 경험 중 어떤 것이 심리적 부적응과 더 관련이 있는지를 살펴보는 것이다. 연구에 참여한 사람은 모두 220명이었으며 이들 중 어머니로부터 폭력적인 행동을 경험하였다고 보고한 사람은 60.3%였고 아버지로부터 폭력적인 행동을 경험하였다고 보고한 사람은 53.2%에 이르렀다. 한편 성장기에 부모간의 폭력 행동을 관찰한 적이 있다고 보고한 사람은 전체의 28.8%였다. 성장기 가정 내 폭력과 성인기 심리적 적응과 관련이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 폭력 경험의 경우 어머니로부터 받은 폭력 행동은 심리적 적응과는 관련이 없었으며, 아버지로부터 받은 폭력행동의 경우 외상 증상과 특성 불안과 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 부모 상호간의 폭력 행동 관찰 경험은 외상 증상, 충동성, 특성 불안, 자아존중감과 유의한 상관 관계를 보여주었다. 한편 성장기 부모로부터의 직접적인 폭력 경험과 부모간의 폭력 행동의 관찰경험이 초기 성인기 적응에 미치는 차별적 영향을 알아보고자 회귀 분석을 실시한 결과, 성장기 폭력 경험이 성인기 적응 중 충동성, 특성불안, 외상 증상을 유의하게 설명할 수 있으며 세 가지 폭력 경험 중에서 부부폭력 목격 경험만이 유의하게 이들 적응 변인들을 설명하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 한국청소년정책연구원에서 수행한 다문화 청소년 패널조사 자료를 활용하여 다문화 청소년의 이중문화 수용 태도가 문화 적응 스트레스와 국가정체성에 어느 정도 유의미한 영향을 받는지를 검증하는 것이다. 연구 대상은 다문화 청소년 패널조사 2기 1차 자료로 2019년 기준 초등학교 4학년에 재학하고 있었던 다문화 청소년 2,246명을 분석자료로 활용하였다. 연구 결과 이중문화 수용 태도는 국가정체성, 문화 적응 스트레스 순으로 유의미한 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이 의미는 국가정체성이 높고, 문화 적응 스트레스를 적게 받을수록 이중문화 수용 태도가 높다는 것이다. 한편 다문화 청소년의 유형에서는 국제결혼 가정이 가장 낮은 이중문화 수용 태도를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 학생들이 거주하는 지역 규모에서는 대도시가 가장 낮은 이중문화 수용 태도를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 다문화 청소년의 이중문화 수용 태도에 문화 적응 스트레스와 국가정체성, 다문화 가정의 유형과 거주하는 지역이 주요한 변인으로 작용한다는 것을 시사하는 것이다.
