긍정적 경험, 긍정적 특질, 긍정적 조직의 복원에 대한 과학적 연구를 목적으로 하는 긍정 심리학에서는 인간의 문제를 규명하고 해결함에 있어 약점만큼이나 강점을 강조하고 고통받는 사람들의 상처를 치료해야하는 만큼 건강한 사람들의 삶의 질을 향상시켜야 할 필요가 있음을 제안한다. 따라서 우울이나 불안 등과 같은 부정적 측면보다 희망이나 행복과 같은 긍정적 측면에 초점을 두려 노력한다. 이러한 긍정 심리학적 측면에서 볼 때 경제적으로 어려운 저소득층 어머니를 대상으로 한 연구는 대부분 우울이나 스트레스, 불안, 거부적 양육행동, 부부갈등 등 부정적 측면에 초점을 둘 뿐 저소득층 어머니에게 내재되어 있는 안녕감이나 따뜻함, 애정성, 안정성, 희망 등과 같은 긍정적 요인은 상대적으로 간과했다고 볼 수 있다. 긍정적 정서나 성격 등 개인 안에 내재하고 있는 '긍정성' 속에 내포하고 있는 유연성과 통합성, 위기 대처 능력 등을 고려해 볼 때, 경제적 취약함이라는 부정적 환경 속에서도 나타나는 저소득층 어머니의 긍정성은 궁극적으로 저소득층 아동의 건강한 성장과 발달 측면에서 매우 중요한 문제라 할 수 있다. 이에 이 연구에서는 경제적으로 어려움에 처한 저소득층 어머니를 대상으로 애정적 양육 행동, 성인애착, 심리적 안녕감 등 개인의 긍정성에 초점을 두고 어머니의 애정적 양육행동에 대한 성인애착의 영향이 심리적 안녕감에 의해 매개되는가를 저소득층 어머니 101명과 중산층 어머니 238명을 중심으로 살펴보았다. 연구결과 저소득층 어머니의 애정적 양육행동은 중산층 어머니의 경우처럼 안정된 성인애착에 의해 유의하게 설명되나 안정된 성인애착의 영향은 부분 매개 효과를 보이는 중산층 어머니와 달리 심리적 안녕감에 의해 완전 매개 되는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 저소득층 어머니의 애정적 양육행동 향상을 위해 중산층 어머니보다 심리적 안녕감 증진에 보다 많은 관심을 기울일 필요가 있음을 시사하는 것이다.

The study's purpose was to clarify childcare's impact on the psychological well-being of fathers with an infant. This study included 1,250 households that used 15 nursery centers. The questionnaire asked about the fathers' age, income, working conditions, participation in childcare, recognition of sense of usefulness to their family, marital satisfaction, mental health, health-related quality of life(QOL), and the mothers' age, number of children, age of the youngest child, and working conditions. A casual model was examined using SEM. The results were as follows: first, fathers' participation in childcare contributed to health-related QOL through the recognition of feeling useful to their family. Second, fathers' participation in childcare contributed to marital satisfaction, directly and indirectly through health -related QOL and improved mental health. Third, fathers' participation in childcare contributed to health related QOL through the recognition of feelings of usefulness, marital satisfaction, and mental health, indirectly. These results suggest that promoting fathers' participation in childcare is important to help prevent many problems and to improve QOL.

The purpose of this study was to validate the Korean Family Support & Challenge Questionnaire (K-SCQ), which is designed to assess family complexity in Children. There were 258 pre-test participants in this study and 498 senior students who were in elementary school. Results from the pre-test suggested us to use Likert scale over a dichotomous agree or disagree scale and positively items over negative ones. Results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the two factor structure (family support and challenge) of the SCQ fits well for Korean students. The K-SCQ has also good internal consistency. Further analysis was performed to explore the relationships between four family types based on K-SCQ and children's well-being and flow experience. It showed that the children in a high support/high challenge family had the highest emotional well-being, psychological well-being, and flow experience. These results suggest that the complex family characterized by high support and challenge has strong and positive impact on the children's quality of life.

급격하게 변화되는 사회 속에서 현대인들은 다양한 스트레스를 경험하고 있으며, 아동 또한 정신 건강 진료량이 눈에 띄게 증가하고 있다. 소아정신건강장애 등 아동의 정신 건강 문제를 예방하기 위해서는 감정 상태를 빠르게 파악해야 하지만, 유아기 아동들은 몇 가지 단어만을 사용하여 자신의 감정을 표현하는 경우가 많기에 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 아동 심리 상태를 우울, 불안, 외로움, 두려움 등 4가지의 감정으로 세분화하고 아동 심리 전문가의 점수를 기반으로 한 아동용 감정 사전 구축 방안을 제안한다. 또한, STT 및 텍스트 마이닝 기반의 아동 감정 분석 시스템을 제안하고 실제 음성 데이터로 성능을 평가하였다. 평가 결과는 제안한 아동용 감정 분석 시스템이 아동 감정 상태를 정확하게 파악할 수 있음을 보여준다.

Although the prevalence of divorce in South Korea has greatly increased since late 1990s, the impact of divorce on the parents of adult children in Korean families has received very little attention. This is particularly unfortunate because of the emphasis in Korean culture on family cohesion and obligations. To address these issues, we explored in our study the well-being of the parents of divorced adult children as well as intergenerational relationships among the members of Korean families. Total 113 parents participated (39 males and 74 females), age ranged from 46 to 65. Of the total participants surveyed, 29% were parents of divorced children (N=33), with the remainder having children in intact marriages (N=80). The measures examined four areas: (1) demographics, (2) parental psychological well-being, (3) intergeneration relationships, and (3) parental perception of their adult child's marital experience. A series of MANOVA and hierarchical regression analyses were conducted. Our findings indicate important differences between parents of divorced children and parents of non-divorced children on overall well-being, interpersonal relationships, and parental perception, which is consistent with previous studies. Parents of divorced children in this study also reported lower level of intergenerational relationships compared to parents of nondivorced children. Parent-grandchild relationships seem to be particularly important for parental well-being. In addition, we found an unexpected association between parents and their relationship with their former children inlaws. More detailed discussion was discussed.

The 'Sliver-Spoon-Discourse' is currently witnessing growing complaints about the polarization and a sense of despair among many young people in Korean society. The 'Sliver-Spoon-Discourse' that compares one's subjective socioeconomic status to a spoon implies a sense of psychological superiority or deprivation. The present study empirically tested the current popular 'Sliver-Spoon-Discourse' based belongingness and explored how subjective socioeconomic status may affect the psychology of young people. This study examined the effects of subjective socioeconomic status on individual relative deprivation and subjective well-being. Data were collected from 307 undergraduate students enrolled at universities located in Seoul with both parents alive. The findings of this study were as follows. First, student respondents reported moderate levels of subjective socioeconomic status, relative deprivation, and subjective well-being. Second, after controlling for respondents' gender, age and family income, the students' subjective socioeconomic status was negatively associated with their level of relative deprivation. Finally, after controlling for respondents' sociodemographic characteristics, the students' subjective socioeconomic status was not significantly related to all the three sub-factors of life satisfaction, positive emotion and negative emotion as well as total subjective well-being. The results indicate that 'Sliver-Spoon-Discourse' based belongingness may instigate relative deprivation of young people without affecting their subjective well-being. The implications of the results are discussed for youth programs and policies.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore socio-demographic factors, personality factors, socio-psychological factors, and relationship factors related to happiness of young children's fathers. Method: Subjects of this study were fathers who had 3, 4 and 5 years old children attending childcare centers. Data were analyzed by SPSS 18.0 program. Results: First, father's subjective well-being was predicted by father's extraversion of personality, job satisfaction, satisfaction of economic status, marital intimacy, and relationship with child. Marital intimacy was the strongest predictor of father's subjective well-being. Second, father's global life satisfaction was associated with occupational status, family monthly income, father's extraversion of personality, satisfaction of economic status, marital intimacy, and relationship with child. Father's global life satisfaction was explained by satisfaction of economic status the most. Third, father's meaning of life was related to father's educational level, father's extraversion of personality, job satisfaction, satisfaction of economic status, marital intimacy, and relationship with child. Father's meaning of life was explained by relationship with child the most. Fourth, father's positive emotion was predicted by father's extraversion of personality, job satisfaction, satisfaction of economic status, marital intimacy, and relationship with child. Extraversion of personality was the strongest predictor for father's positive emotion. Fifth, neuroticism of personality and marital intimacy were related to father's negative emotion, and neuroticism of personality was the strongest predictor for father's negative emotion. Conclusions: The findings of this research provide the fundamental source for increasing father's happiness which can be used to establish the educational programs, counseling, and policy on general public's happiness.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships of mothers' authoritative and authoritarian childrearing attitudes to their 5-year-old children's attachment representations and to teacher-rated social competence. The sample consisted of 69 mothers and their 5-year-old children from intact families. Children were interviewed to assess the quality of their attachment representations using Slough & Greenberg's(1990) version of the Separation Anxiety Test(SAT). Mothers were administered the Childrearing Practices Report Q-sort(Block, 1965) and filled out questionnaires regarding their childhood experiences, their marital relationship and their psychological well-being. In addition, teachers rated children's social competency in school settings using Kohn's(1972) Social Competence Scale. Hierarchical multiple regression showed that mothers' high scores on affective components of authoritative parenting and low scores on authoritarian attitudes are closely associated with children's secure attachment as well as teacher-rated social competence.
