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 influence of depression, self-esteem, and well-being components of maternal psychological environment on child behavior problems was examined in Korean and American populations. Findings were that the level of mother's self-esteem was lower in Korean than in American mothers; the level of mother's "autonomy" and "environmental mastery" was lower in Korean than in American mothers; and "somatic complaints" were more frequent in the Korean group. The relationship between maternal psychological environment and child behavior problems was greater in the American group. In the Korean group, autonomy and enviornmental mastery were negative components causing both internalized and externalized behavor problems in children. Mothers' depression was the most powerful variable, affecting internalized and externalized behavior problems in both Korean and American groups.

Using survey data collected from 275 adolescent children of widowed or divorced single mother families, this study investigated the characteristics of family coping resources, including individual, financial, social, and mother-child relational resources and their effects on the psychological wellbeing of these adolescents. After controlling background variables of the family, higher depression among adolescents was associated with low grade point average, mother's high exposure to negative experiences after loss of father, low attachment to mother, and low sense of self-control. Furthermore, higher grade point average, strong attachment to mother, and high self-control in problem solving were factors predicting higher self-esteem of adolescents. Social network resources were not related to the psychological well-being of the adolescents. Discussion included recommendations for future research. Implications for policy and parent-child relations were discussed with a view to enhancing family functioning of adolescents in single-mother families.

This research examined the relationships of individual and intergenerational variables with psychological well-being(PWB) of elderly females and the relative significance of the effect of these variables on PWB. Structured interview technique was used to collect data from 202 elderly females in Seoul who were recruited through quota sampling method. Two-way analysis of variance result indicated that interaction effect between aged and the presence of spouse on PWB was existed. Though most variables were significantly correlated with PWB of elderly females results of multiple regression analyses indicated that three variables-self-efficacy self-esteem affectional solidarity with adult children- significantly influenced PWB and three variabels-coresiding with the first son's family satisfaction with pocket money and contact solidarity-approached the significance level to the effect on PWB.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a deeper understanding of the experience of mothers caring for children with epilepsy. Methods: Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews and observation from 12 mothers of children with epilepsy. Data were collected from December, 2014 to February, 2015 and analyzed using van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological methodology to identify essential themes of their experience. Results: The essential themes that fit into the context of the 4-existential grounds of time, body, other people, and space were: Lived time-ongoing influence of the past, living in insecure present, fearful future with no answer; Lived body-bonded body, burned out state; Lived other-burden but also support, shrunken down; Lived space-narrowed range of activity, widened horizon. Conclusion: The findings in this study show in-depth understanding of the hardships of mothers who are caring for children with epilepsy. The beauty and greatness of these mothers are revealed through the analysis of various phenomenological materials such as literary and artistic work reflecting socio-cultural context, as well as vivid care experiences of mothers of children with epilepsy. This will be helpful in increasing understanding of the nature of caregivers' experience for medical professionals dealing with patients and caregivers. Also it helps to improve the understanding of the disease among the general public, followed by a more warming and caring attitude towards patients and family members. Finally, it will enhance psychological well-being and overall quality of life of the epileptic children and their families.

젠더감수성은 성 역할 발달 초기 단계인 아동기부터 고려되어야 할 개념이다. 이에 유네스코는 '포괄적 성교육 가이드라인(Comprehensive Sexuality Education)'을 발표한 바 있다. 한편, 국내에서는 여성가족부가 아동기 젠더감수성 증진을 위해 '나다움어린이책'을 선정하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 나다움어린이책 속에서 포괄적 성교육의 개념들이 얼마나 다루어지고, 어떤 방식으로 표현되는지를 유네스코 가이드라인을 기반으로 분석하는 데 있다. 분석 대상은 저학년 아동을 위해 선정된 101권의 나다움어린이책이다. 연구 방법으로는 내용분석과 중심주제분석을 선택하였다. 구체적으로, 도서에 나타난 포괄적 성교육 개념의 양적 출현비율과 도서가 내포하고 있는 젠더감수성 가치를 질적으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 나다움어린이책에서 가장 빈번히 나타난 포괄적 성교육 개념은 '가족 구성원의 역할과 책임' 및 '관용, 포용, 존중의 가치'였다. 반면 '사춘기' 및 '성과 임신을 위한 건강' 등의 개념은 다뤄지지 않았다. 질적 분석 결과에서는 나다움어린이책이 젠더감수성의 가치를 추구하는 행동과 그 가치가 실현되는 과정을 주로 묘사하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 국제적 기준에 부합되는 젠더감수성 증진 아동 도서에 관한 비판적 담론이 활성화될 것을 기대한다.

본 연구는 베이비부머 세대의 어머니(1955-1963년생)를 둔 에코부머 기혼 여성(1979-1992년생) 382명을 대상으로 사회인구학적 배경변인, 부모-자녀 분화, 결혼안정성, 심리적 복지감 간의 관계를 살펴보았다. 그 결과 친정 어머니와의 월 평균 접촉 빈도가 많을수록 어머니와의 친밀감(연결성)이 높았다. 결혼지속년수가 높을수록 결혼안정성은 낮았고, 교육수준이 높고, 월평균 가구 소득이 높을수록 자기수용성이 높았다. 또한 맞벌이 가정의 여성이 외벌이 가정의 여성에 비해, 친정 어머니로부터 자녀 양육 도움을 받는 기혼 여성이 도움을 받지 않는 여성에 비해 타인과 신뢰할만한 관계를 형성하거나 만족감을 나타내지 못했다. 어머니와 잘 연결되어 있거나 친밀감이 높은 사람은 결혼안정성이 높았고, 결혼안정성이 높은 사람은 심리적 복지감이 높았다. 부모-자녀 분화 수준이 높은 기혼 여성은 자기수용성이 높을 뿐만 아니라, 타인과의 관계 또한 긍정적인 경향이 있었다.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the experiential meaning of child-rearing for marriage immigrant women in Korea in the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: Using the hermeneutic descriptive phenomenology framework developed by Colaizzi, 10 marriage immigrant women rearing preschool and school-age children were invited through purposive and snowball sampling from two multicultural support centers in Korea. The participants were rearing one or two children, and their original nationalities were Vietnamese, Japanese, Cambodian, and Chinese. Individual in-depth, face-to-face, semi-structured interviews were conducted from September 1 to November 30, 2021. We extracted significant statements from the transcripts, transformed these into abstract formulations, and organized them into theme clusters and themes to authentically capture the essence of the participants' subjective experiences. Results: Four theme clusters with 14 themes were derived. The four theme clusters identified were "navigating child healthcare alone," "guilt for not providing a social experience," "worry about media-dependent parenting," and "feelings of incompleteness and exclusion." This study explored the perspectives of mothers raising children as marriage migrant women who experienced physical and emotional health crises due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: The findings underscore that marriage immigrant women encountered heightened challenges in managing their children's health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic due to linguistic and cultural barriers limiting access to healthcare and information. Additionally, these women experienced considerable emotional stress from perceived inadequacies in providing a holistic social and developmental environment for their children under extensive social restrictions.

Following the global trend of the delayed transition to adulthood, the number of unmarried middle aged adult children living with, or economically dependent on their parents has increased in Korea. Middle aged adult children in Korea are traditionally expected to satisfy their duty to support their elderly parents both in economic and emotional needs. This study aims to explore group differences in unmarried adult children in their mid 30s or older and in parents having unmarried middle aged child(ren) depending on co-residency and the children's eonomic dependency in Korea. Using quota sampling in terms of living arrangements (living together vs. living apart), 500 unmarried adult children 35 years of age or older and 500 elderly parents, having at least one unmarried child in the mid of 30s or over, were selected in Seoul, Korea in June 2016. First, the findings show that unmarried adult children living together with their parents and depending on their parents economically were in the lowest level of educational achievement and the lowest level of monthly average income among the respondents. Second, both unmarried adult children and parents from the group of co-residency and economically dependent showed the lowest level of psychological well-being. Third, parents from the group of co-residency and economically independent had mostly positive relationships with children, whereas, parents from the group of living apart and economically dependent reported the most negative relationships. Finally, respondents included in the group of co-residency had positive attitudes toward marriage and the support for their elderly parents regardless of the child's economic dependency. This study has implications for the increasing number of unmarried middle aged adult children and their elderly parents.

카툰은 의미작용에 따라 유머 중심의 유머카툰과 풍자 중심의 풍자카툰으로 나눌 수 있으며, 만평은 풍자카툰의 범주에 놓을 수 있다. 특히 풍자카툰에서도 만평은 구체적인 대상과 비난을 표현한다는 점에서 카툰의 웃음보다는 비웃음을 잘 보여주는 장르이다. 웃음이 기쁘거나 즐거울 때, 또는 우스울 때 나타나는 표정이나 소리라면, 비웃음은 빈정거리거나 업신여기는 웃음의 표정이나 소리이다. 웃음이 따스하다면 비웃음은 차가운 느낌으로 다가온다. 이는 카툰이 인간의 희로애락에 중점을 두고 있는데 반해, 만평은 시사와 정치적 메시지 전달에 중점을 두고 있기 때문이다. 또한, 풍자카툰이 대상을 빗대어 비유하는 편이라면, 만평은 구체적인 대상을 빗대지만, 구체적인 글로 표기하여 비유하는 편이다. 풍자카툰 중에서도 특히나 만평은 비난에 가까운 비웃음의 대상에 대해 직설적인 공격을 한다. 만평은 대중들의 사회적인 관심에 적극 개입하는 특수한 위치에 있다. 현재진행형의 문제를 제기할 가치가 있다고 보는 정치 시사 경제에 대한 의견을 개진하기 때문에, 독자는 만평을 큰 어려움 없이 의미작용하게 된다. 한 예를 들면 만평을 구성하는 기호 중에 시사문제와 직접적인 연관의 글을 표기함으로써, 독자에게 구체적인 의미작용의 방식을 선호하는 편이다. 만평은 비유적인 그림과 구체적인 표기의 글을 함께 사용함으로써 작가의 의미작용이 독자의 의미작용과 일치할 가능성이 높아진다. 만화를 전공하는 학생들에게 카툰과 만평은 서사만화에 비해서 낯설고 이해시키기 어려운 장르이다. 학생들은 한 칸에 이야기를 담는 유머의 묘미를 이해하기 어려워하며, 시사문제에 관심이 없거나 꺼리는 다수 성향이 있다. 이 때문에 카툰과 만평을 효율적으로 교육하는 데 어려움이 있다. 본 연구는 카툰과 만평의 역사적인 분류나 정의를 찾기보다는 유머카툰과 풍자카툰의 관점에서 카툰과 만평을 비교하는 데 있다. 특히 유머와 풍자의 관점에서 공통점과 차이점을 찾아보는 데 목적이 있다. 이는 카툰과 만평의 교육적 효율을 올릴 수 있는 기반이 될 것이다.
