Under the influence of globalization, South Korea has seen a sharp rise in interracial families. South Korean society faces various difficulties since it has not prepared for the stable settlement of families. Therefore, it is necessary to initiate marital education for the settlement of multi-cultural families in a healthy and democratic way. This researcher has developed a marital education program for multi-cultural families. To reflect the special characteristics, this work required the investigation of multi-cultural families in Gyeongsangbuk-do. The purpose of this work is to improve conjugal relations among multi-cultural families in a formative period of family relations to help those families to settle down early. The program consisted of four steps and 12 sessions. It featured an increase in application flexibility to an actual site by session, and includes a worksheet applicable to an actual site to understand the absence of communication and cultural differences in multi-cultural families during a formative period of family relations. In so doing, it was designed to easily perform nonverbal education. This work is expected to contribute to an improvement in conjugal relations of multi-cultural families in a formative period of family relations and help those families to settle down in a stable way.

본 연구는 율속이 실제 자신의 가정화목을 위해서 함께 살며 서로 지켜야 할 경계의 글을 고찰한 것이다. 우리는 가족이 화목하고 가문이 번창하는 것을 최대의 보람으로 생각하고 화목한 가정을 바라지만 실제로 가정화목을 위해 구체적내용을 정해놓고 실천하기는 어렵다. 본 자료는 내용이 구체적이고 실생활에 적용하는데 반복교육이란 적극적인 방법을 사용하였기 때문에 어떠한 내용으로 이루어졌으며, 그것의 현대적 의미는 어떠한가를 분석했다. 전체적인 내용은 효도.공경.정성.사랑을 바탕으로 한 규범들을 제시하고 있으며, 함께 살기 위해서는 남을 이해하려고 하며 나를 극복해 나가는 극기의 정신이 강조되었다. 과거의 전통적인 가족화목의 윤리를 옛모습 그대로 오늘의 가정에 적용시키기 어려울 것이지만 화목을 위한 경과 성의 사상에 의해 가족성원간에 자연히 형성되는 애정은 중요한 유대와 화목의 구실을 할 것이다. 화목한 가정을 위해서는 이기성을 자제하고 율속과 같이 구체적이고 적극적인 교육이 유년기부터 이루어져야한다.

The present research investigated the psychological nature of low levels of trust in Korean society and the role of family expansionism, a cultural psychological factor, in this phenomenon. Specifically, we examined the possibility that Koreans' distrust toward social system is, at least partially, due to high standards for trust, which might be closely related to Koreans' cultural characteristic of family expansionism. In Study 1, the relations between levels of family expansionism, trust standards, and actual levels of trust for parents, judiciary, and politicians were examined among 540 Korean adults. In Study 2, we manipulated levels of family expansionism to examine its effect on trust standards. Results showed that trust standards were higher for politicians than parents. Participants' trust standards for politics were unrealistically high, especially on the responsibility factor. Actual levels of trust for judiciary and politicians were low when the trust standards for these targets relative to trust standards for parents were high. Moreover, the trust standards and levels of trust for judiciary and politicians (relative to those for parents) were positively correlated to levels of family expansionism. In other words, higher levels of family expansionism were linked to higher trust standards and levels of distrust for judiciary and politicians. In addition, Study 2 results showed that trust standards became high when family expansionism was induced. Unlike previous studies which focused on causes of low levels of trust while assuming that Korean society itself is a low trust society, the present research investigated the underlying mechanism behind the seemingly low trust in Korean society.

This study examines how married immigrant women's social networks affect their life satisfaction in Korea. A multiple-regression analysis is conducted using data from Nationwide Multicultural Family Survey in 2009. The major findings are as follows. First, the frequency of keeping in touch with their family in the mother country significantly affects the level of satisfaction, while the family size in Korea is not making a significant difference. Second, the strength of "Korean Network" - strong bridging network - is highlighted. Third, family gathering variables affect the level of satisfaction. An interesting point is found from the nationality segmentation. The case of women from Japan, with the longest duration in Korea, shows that both of the family and the non-family gathering variables significantly affect the life satisfaction. It is interpreted that family network dominates in the earlier stage of marriage, but the other social networks also play the role as the duration extends.

한반도 지역의 장묘 문화와 고려장의 유래를 살펴본다. 삼국시대로부터 고려사회에 이르기까지는 주로 불교문화의 영향을 받아왔고, 그 후 조선사회에 들어와서 우리 민족은 유교문화에 깊은 관계를 형성하여 왔다. 그러므로 오늘의 우리사회에서도 곳곳에서 유교문화의 깊은 뿌리를 찾아볼 수 있으며, 아직도 우리의 생활문화에서 유교적 관행이나 생활관습을 흔히 느껴볼 수 있다. 이러한 종교 사회적 문화 배경이나 충효사상으로 무장된 우리의 사회상을 살펴볼 때 과연 우리가 전해들은 고려장 문화가 실존적인 것인지에 대하여는 강한 의문과 부정적 사고를 떨쳐 버릴 수 없다. 또한 초식을 즐겨하는 우리 식생활 문화로부터 그들의 온순한 성격이 형성되어 왔던 민족 사회적 정서를 살펴볼 때에도 부모나 가족의 연장자가 늙고 병들었다고 하여 그들을 쉽게 버리고 남은 가족들끼리 편안한 마음으로 살아갈 수 있을까(?)에는 역시 강한 의문점을 뗄 수가 없다. 한국동굴학회의 사업계획에 따라, 중국 길림성 연변조선족자치주 화룡시 근교의 충천계곡(골) 자연동굴을 탐사하고, 고려장 굴이라고 전해오는 석실무덤을 답사하였다.

This study is about the relationship between traditional familism and welfare consciousness in Korea. Traditional familism is known as the value that most Koreans share with, and the impeding value for welfare program development. Strong family solidarity and family-centered perception among Koreans influences other social values and ideology. Especially, care of the family members is understood as a family duty and responsibility. And this inhibits Koreans to develop welfare consciousness and further to develop welfare programs at the governmental level. Thus, this study purposes to explore the relationship between the two. The sample of 1,131 men and women was selected in Seoul area. As a result, traditional familism is found to be quite influential to welfare consciousness among Koreans. First, perception of welfare institution is strongly related with welfare consciousness. The respondents in high familism group showed low welfare consciousness. Second, state-friendly welfare responsibility was shown low in the group of high familism for the aged and youth. In the same context, for the disabled and the unemployed, state-friendly welfare responsibility was shown high in the group of low familism. Lastly, the relationship between familism and the welfare need was not apparent. Such results make possible to conclude that traditional familism among Korean is still influential to welfare consciousness and welfare ideology. However, although this conclusion should not be used for an excuse to avoid state responsibility but used as a tool to develop a welfare model to strengthen family function as one solid family.
