Methods: The data of this study were selected in the 9th Korea Welfare Panel Survey(KYPS, 2014). The SPSS Ver. 18.0 statistical package was used for descriptive statistics analysis, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results: The major findings were as follows; First, problem drinking was found to have a negative impact on family conflict, depression, and life satisfaction. Second, family conflict and depression were identified to cause decreasing life satisfaction. Third, family conflict and depression was found to have a mediating effect between problem drinking and life satisfaction. Conclusions: In order to enhance life satisfaction through overcoming problem drinking, drinking prevention programs and recreational programs based on economic and social context are required.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the national pension affects the life satisfaction of old age, using the first and third-wave data from the Korean Retirement and Income Study. The study analyzes the relationship between the national pension and life satisfaction, using several operational definitions of these two variables. This study utilizes the Difference-in-Difference(2D) models and panel data analysis. The main results are : First, the result of simple 2D shows that there is not significantly difference between the pensioner and that of non-pensioner. Second, the result of 2D regression also shows that pension is not significantly associated with life satisfaction of the old age. Lastly, the result of fixed-effect model confirms that the national pension does not have a statistically meaningful effect on the life satisfaction, controling for the unobserved characteristics of the old age. This study also conducts sensitivity analysis and discusses policy implications.

Using the 2015 Korea Welfare Panel Study data, this study conducted a hierarchical regression analysis to examine the mediating effects of withdrawal on the relationship between childhood obesity and school adjustment. In addition, a Sobel test was used to consider the statistical significance of the mediating effects. Findings were as follows: First, childhood obesity had a negative influence on school adjustment. Second, childhood obesity affected withdrawal positively. Third. withdrawal had a negative impact on school adjustment. Fourth, withdrawal was found to partially mediate the relationship between childhood obesity and school adjustment. Based on the results, implications were discussed to intervene in preventing childhood obesity and to reduce the negative effects of childhood obesity.

Participants were 3449 adolescents in middle and high school (2003-2006 panel 1 in Korea Youth Panel Survey). For analyses of research questions, frequencies, descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, Pearson correlations and multiple regression were used. The results were as follows: For males, attachment to parents most influenced delinquencies in middle school but attachment to friends most influenced delinquencies in high school, however, for females, attachment to parents most influenced delinquencies in middle school and high school. Attachments to parents and teachers influenced delinquencies negatively, however, attachments to friends influenced delinquencies positively.

The purpose of this study is to understand the school achievement of domestic adopted children in Korea and its related factors. Although the developmental outcomes of domestic adopted children were the focus of research interests, their school achievement has never been fully addressed in Korea. The subsample (9-17 years old) of 5th wave data of was used for the analysis. The results showed that the school achievement level of domestic adopted children was not significantly different from their non-adopted peers during elementary school years except the mathematics, but changed drastically after they entered the middle school, showing significantly lower level from their non-adopted peers. Factors related with the overall school achievement were the level of school, maternal education, age at adoption, child's self-esteem and school adjustment. For specific subject, however, significant factors were found to be somewhat different. Based on the results of the study, the practical guidelines to improve the school achievement of adopted children were suggested. Also, suggestions for the following studies were made.

The study looked into the effect of internet utilization (utilization frequency and utilization ability in internet) on the life satisfaction level for the elderly in depth. In order to verify the correlation of two variables, a mediating model structured by ego integrity was used which gave out the Seoul welfare panel data created by Seoul welfare foundation in 2010. The total sample size was a group of 1862 elders aged over 60. When it came to our research methods, structured equation analysis was applied to verify the mediating effect and theoretical background. The findings are as follows: First, elderly's utilization frequency in internet is not an influencing factor to life satisfaction and elderly's utilization ability in internet is an influencing factor to life satisfaction. Second, the level of social activity did function as partial mediator on relationship between elderly's utilization ability in internet and life satisfaction. This study indicates theoretical and practical interventions to promote elderly's utilization in internet.

The study examined the effects of parenting process(supportive and involving mother-adolescent relationship, father-adolescent relationship) and school process(teachers' support, school life satisfaction) on adolescents' academic achievement and self-evaluation. Participants were 1787 middle school students (902 boys, 885 girls) in KEEP(Korean Education and Employment Panel). Structural equation modeling indicated that parenting and school process influenced adolescents' self-evaluation through adolescents' academic achievement. Also, the analysis with One Way ANOVA revealed that positive school (parenting) processes can serve a protective-stabilizing function when parenting(school) processes are negative.

This study was conducted to verify whether gender role attitudes are related to depression in Korean older males and examine the mediating effect of family conflict coping strategies on the relationship between the two variables. In this study, The target of the study was 1,955 men aged 65 and over in the 9th wave of the Korea Welfare Panel Study (KoWePS). Frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were performed. In addition, Bootstrapping was conducted to verify the significance of the mediating effects of family conflict coping strategies. The results of this study show that patriarchal gender role attitudes of Korean older males were found to be associated with increased risk of depression. Family conflict coping strategies play a role as a mediator for the relationship between gender role attitudes and depression. Throughout the results of this study, the restructuring of gender role attitudes and the improvement of the way of coping with family conflict were suggested as measures to alleviate the depression of the older males, and academic and practical implications were discussed.
