The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the paths among the risk-protective factors that related to the resilience based on the Challenge Model. The subjects for this study were 209 children from divorced families in the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades of elementary schools in Seoul and Gyunggi-do. As the results, there were 28 paths which affected the resilience of children from divorced families based on the Challenge Model. The protective factors were easy temperament, problem-focused coping style, parental support, peer's support, higher socio-economic status, experiences in therapy, presence of siblings, contact with adult caretakers. The risk factors were higher grade, emotion-focused coping style, and children's gender, especially girls. This result demonstrated that each risk and protective factor not only affected resilience separately but interacted with one another.

With the increase of single-parent families in the Korean society, the perception of the function and structure of the family is changing. Thus, a public transition toward embracing single-parent families as another form of family is necessary. This study focuses on the families of divorced female single-parents using Walsh's family resilience framework with a strengths-based perspective. It aims to provide the basic data necessary for deducing policy-related and practical ways of supporting the families and for developing programs that help divorced female single-parent families maintain and reinforce resilience. Qualitative analysis was used as the research method. A preceding literature review was also carried out to collect data. The major findings of this study include the following: First, it was found that the average age of divorce is around 30-40, with children of school age. The mothers' level of education was relatively high, ranging from high school graduates to graduate school students. On Rothwell and Cohen's happiness scale, their objective level of happiness was higher (74.1) than that of the average Korean (64). Second, it was found they were very careful to avoid violence in everyday life as an after-effect of domestic violence, which was the major cause of their divorce. Third, their positive and optimistic attitudes about life even in adversity can be interpreted as Walsh's belief systems taking a more important role among other characteristics of family resilience.

This study aimed to evaluate Comprehensive Croup Therapy Program developed for children and mothers of divorced families. The research questions were to determine first, any differences between program participants and non-participant in the areas of life wellbeing, attitude towards divorce, self-esteem, and communication skills as a result of this program; and second the durability of these effects three months after implementation of the program. The subjects of this study were 41 children and 14 mothers of the divorced families. Among them, 18 children and 6 mothers, including 5 mother-child dyads were assigned to experimental group, while 23 children and 8 mothers, including 8 mother-child dyads, to control group. Both groups received pre-and post-test evaluation but experimental group additionally received a follow-up test. The data were analyzed by t-test, Mann-Whitney U Test, Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed-Ranks Test and qualitative analysis. The results showed that therapy Program enhanced the life wellbeing of both child and mother participants significantly, and this effect lasted for at least for three months after the termination of the program. Second, though the effects were not statistically significant, child and mother participants' attitude towards divorce, self-esteem, and communication skills between mother and child changed positively after the program and these effects lasted for over three months.

This study explored adjustment of school-aged children from low-income divorced families. Specifically, protective factors for children's self-perceived competence and behavior problems were investigated with children's coping strategies, perceived social support, parents' childrearing style, and parental stress. Subjects of this study were 126 children of 4 to 6 grade and their custodial parents(38 fathers, 88 mothers) from divorced families. Children's self-perceived competence and behavior problems were not different neither by children's sex nor custodial parent's sex. When children used more positive and less negative coping strategies, and when parents experienced less childrearing stress, children perceived themselves to be more competent. Similarly, when children used more positive and less negative coping strategies, received more social support, they perceived themselves to be more adequate. Children whose parents had high levels of childrearing stress showed more internalized and externalized behavior problems. Furthermore, children who perceived less supports from peers showed more behavior problems.

이혼이 자녀에게 미치는 효과에 대한 국내외의 연구를 조감하였다. 이 연구 중 비교집단이 있고 심리학적 요인의 양적 측정이 있는 연구만을 선정했다. 그 결과 한국에는 두 개의 논문만이 발견되었다. 이 선정기준에 부합하는 외국논문은 92개가 있었는바 이를 메타 분석한 결과를 정리했다. 한국연구의 결과는 모두 이혼이 자녀의 자존심에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났고 반면 사회성은 초등학교집단에서는 영향을 준 반면 중등학생에게는 영향을 끼치지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 미국연구의 경우는 이혼이 자녀의 일곱 가지 안녕감 모두에게 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났지만 그 효과는 그리 크지 않았다. 국내 연구와 미국의 연구를 서로 비교했고 이외에 앞으로 국내학자들이 어떤 문제를 추가적으로 다루어야 하는가를 토의했다.

Understanding the experience of parents without custody after divorce is important in terms of facilitating their adjustment and positive relationships with their children. Ninety-two noncustodial parents divorced within the previous 5 years completed a structured questionnaire. We examined differences between noncustodial fathers and mothers in terms of the frequency of the contact and the relationship satisfaction with children. In addition, using the regression model, we analyzed the effects of several characteristics of noncustodial parents, including gender, on the frequency of contact as well as the relationship satisfaction with children. The main results of the study are as follows. First, noncustodial fathers and mothers exhibited similar low levels of contact by phone and in-person visits. Second, noncustodial parents with a child older than 8 years old visited the child more frequently, and were more satisfied than noncustodial parents with younger children. Third, the level of desire to gain the child custody had a significant effect on the frequency of contact and the satisfaction of the relationship between the noncustodial parents and their children. Fourth, noncustodial parents with more positive feeling about their former spouse contacted more frequently with the children. Fifth, compared with noncustodial fathers, noncustodial mothers demonstrated a higher relationship satisfaction with their children.

본 연구는 가족복지정책의 방향성을 모색하는 가운데 주요한 의제가 되고 있는 노인과 이혼가족 아동을 둘러싸고 발생하는 제반 부양관련 쟁점을 분석하였다. 우리나라는 급속한 고령화와 이혼율 증가라는 사회적 변화 속에서 사적 부양과 공적 부양간 영역 및 경계, 부양관계, 부양의무자 역할 등에 대한 쟁점이 본격화될 전망이다. 이에 따라 양 부양체계의 범위와 역할은 물론 가족부양의 성격, 방법, 기간, 성립요건 등에 대한 사회적 합의를 이루어내는 과정이 필요하다. 또 현행 가족구조와 인구구조의 변화로 고려해볼 때 가족을 통한 부양보다는 사회적 부양으로 전환되어야 할 것이다. 그러나 가족부양 및 사회부양에 대한 내용을 규율하는 현행 민법과 사회복지법은 여전히 가족부양의 정책기조를 강하게 유지하고 있었으며 사적-공적 부양체계 간 관계정립이나 부양방식에 대한 미흡한 규정으로 많은 논란을 내포하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 사회구성원의 기본적인 생활안정과 유지를 목적으로 하는 사회복지법의 취지에도 불구하고 부양과 관련하여 사회보험법은 형식적이고 피상적인 가족부양 원칙을, 공공부조법은 강한 가족부양의무를 부과하는 이중적인 기준을 적용하고 있었다. 결론에서는 급변하는 사회와 경제불안의 일상적 위협 속에서 노인과 이혼가족 아동부양에 대한 합리적이고 현실적인 방안을 모색해야 할 필요성을 제안하였다.

This study sought to examine the effects of current single-parent family policies on the psychological adaptation of family members in single-parent homes, while also confirming that visitation and child support are indeed in the best interests of children in such cases. An online survey was conducted in 2021 for divorced single mothers and their children (aged 11 to 19) living in metropolitan regions (Seoul, Kyunggi, and Incheon). A total of 171 dyads, comprised of single mothers and their adolescent children, participated in this study. Using the collected data, descriptive statistical analysis and structural equation modeling were performed. The major results of this study are as follows. First, visitation with fathers was not significantly associated with self-esteem, aggression, or life satisfaction among the participating adolescent children. On the other hand, when child support was paid, aggression among adolescents was lower than when child support was not paid. Second, neither visitation nor child support was significantly associated with single mothers' levels of depression and life satisfaction. The enforcement of child support guarantees the welfare of children and conforms to the principle of promoting the best interests of minor children. Therefore, child support should be continuously encouraged and supported by agencies in accordance with current law. In order for the implementation of visitation to be in the best interest of the child, the amount and quality of visitation should be secured so that the child can still recognize their non-custodial parents as "caregivers."
