This study is focused on showing possibilities and limitations of the disabled men roles through the relationships with migrant women in korean novels, furthermore it is discovering the problems and the directions for successful cohabitation of the disabled men and migrant women in Korea. To accomplish this purpose of study, we analyzed and criticized 5 Korean novels which described the life of a disabled man with a migrant woman in Korean multicultural society. As a result, the disabled man in those relationships represented the man who was only true to his own desires or the man of the minority in social restraint due to disability and also those men can be classified as attackers or helpers for their migrant lovers. These formulaic expressions being problematic by themselves also facilitate making distorted images of the disabled men and migrant women.

In South Korea nowadays, Among the married immigrant women in Korea, the proportion of long-term residents living in Korea for more than 10 years is increasing continuously(48%), while the proportion of short-term residents who are under 5 years is decreasing(16%). However, Korean language education and related research in the Marriage and Immigration Women's Center are still focused on the initial immigrants. Therefore, we should classify married immigrant women according to their stay time in Korea, so that Korean language education and teaching materials need to be more diversified. This study focuses on married immigrant women with intermediate and advanced Korean proficiency and chooses a catalogue of Chinese characters idioms to explore the possibility and educational value of using Chinese characters Idioms in Korean education. According to the research results, Chinese characters idiom education can help married immigrant women in Korean language learning and information acquisition, interpersonal relationships and life attitudes, cultural understanding and social adaptation, child rearing and learning guidance. This is the important part of Korean language education that needs to be guided by married immigrant women. Based on this, 130 Chinese characters idioms in Korean language education and textbook development centered on married immigrant women were selected and catalogue edited in four stages. It is hoped that the results of this study will serve as a reference for Korean language education research and textbook development for married immigrant women in the future.

This study analyzes whether online political activities have an important impact on attitudes toward the legalization of same-sex marriage and the anti-discrimination law and whether these effects are different by the religion of voters. The main findings are as follows. First, the ideology variable has a significant effect on attitude toward legalizing same-sex marriage and enacting anti-discrimination law. Second, the higher the degree of online political activities, the more likely they will support two issues. Third, the effect on attitudes toward the enactment of anti-discrimination law has appeared different by religion. In other words, Protestants, compared to other religions, are more likely to oppose the enactment of anti-discrimination laws as the level of online political activities increased. Our study is meaningful in that we found online political activities play an important role in making voters' attitudes positively toward the enhancement of the right of sexual minorities. Also, although ideological conflicts are usually intense in diplomatic and security issues in Korea, the sexual minority issue would be likely to be an crucial as a dimension of ideological conflicts.

서론: 최근 음주가 사회적 문제로 더욱 심각하게 인식되고 있는 가운데 우리나라의 음주 소비량은 점점 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 또한 빠른 사회경제적 변화는 새로운 도덕과 가치의 변화를 가져왔으며 알코올 소비량의 증가와 관계가 있다.(양정남, 1998) 특히 결혼 및 배우자 유무는 음주에 중요한 관련 요인이라는 주장이 있음에도(김태수 등, 2003) 실증적인 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 결혼 후 배우자 유무와 음주 형태의 관련성을 파악하고 음주 관련 교육 자료로 활용하고자 한다. 연구방법: 연구 대상자는 2005년 국민건강영양조사에서 40대 이상의 남녀 중 결혼 경험이 있는 14,970명 중 음주행태에 관한 설문에 응답한 3,190명이었으며, 결혼 후 배우자의 유무에 따른 고위험 음주 경험 및 다빈도 음주, 음주자제빈도, 고위험음주빈도와의 관련성을 통계 분석하였다. 연구결과: 결혼 후 배우자 유무에 따른 음주 행태의 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 연구대상자의 일반적 특성은 남자 1,678명(52.6%)이며, 여자 1,512명(47.4%)였다. 연령별로는 65세 미만 2,359명(73.9%), 65세 이상 831명(26.1%)이었다. 결혼상태는 유배우 2,621명(82.2%), 사별 344명(10.8%), 이혼 및 별거 225명(7.1%)이었다. 고위험 음주경험은 한달에 한번 미만 1,883명(59.0%), 한달에 한번 정도 379명(11.9%), 일주일에 한번 이상 928명(29.1%)으로 한달에 한번 미만 고위험 음주를 경험한다가 가장 많았으며, 일주일에 한번이상. 일주일에 한번정도 순으로 고위험 음주를 한다고 응답하였다. 월평균 음주 횟 수에 있어서는 5회 이하 1,149명(36.0), 6회-10회 395명(12.4%), 11회이상 593명(27.7%)이었다. 고위험 음주 경험을 종속변수로 한 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 여자보다 남자가 고위험 음주 경험을 많아 하며, 연령이 증가하면 고위험 음주음 경험이 낮아지며, 교육수준이 높아지면 고위험 음주 경험은 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 음주자제 경험 종속변수로 한 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 여자보다 남자가 음주자제 경험을 많아 하며, 연령이 증가하면 음주자제 경험이 낮아지며, 교육수준이 높아지면 음주자제 경험은 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 다빈도 음주 경험 종속변수로 한 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 여자보다 남자가 다빈도음주 경험을 많아 하며, 연령이 증가하면 다빈도 음주 경험 높아지며, 가구 평균 소득이 증가 하거나, 교육수준이 높아지면 다빈도 음주 경험은 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 논의 및 결론: 결혼 후 배우자 유무와 고위험 음주는 남녀를 합친 전체와 남자에게서 통계적으로 유의하였으며, 음주자제빈도에서는 남녀를 합친 전체에서 통계적으로 유의하였다. 또한 다빈도 음주에서 여자에게서 통계적으로 유의하였다. 이러한 결과는 절주사업 기초자료로 활용될 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였으며, 추가적인 연구의 필요성을 시사하였다.

The definition of digital poverty of multicultural families has not been changed since it was used at the first digital divide survey in 2012. The objective of this study is to reexamine and redefine digital poverty targets of digital divide survey for multicultural families. The results suggest to reexamine multicultural families rather than limiting to Immigrant women for digital poverty. The results were as follows. First, the current survey has been limited to the migrant women for information gap survey of married migrants. But, It is expected to increase immigrant men in the future. It should include migrant men in the marginalized target in terms of preparation for a multicultural society. Second, the current survey has been limited to the migrant women for information gap survey. But, It is expected to increase children of multicultural families. This information gap is likely to be linked to differences in education or future economic disparities for children of multicultural families. It should include children of multicultural families in the marginalized target in digital divide survey.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationships between the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) psychological type and marital satisfaction, divorce proneness, positive affect, and conflict regulation in couple visiting a clinic. Methods: Couples (n=62) who visited "M" couple clinic participated in the study. Data were collected from March to June 2009 using the Marital Satisfaction Scale, Marital Status Inventory, Positive Affect Inventory, and Conflict Regulation Inventory. Results: The couples showed no significant differences in marital satisfaction, positive affect, and conflict regulation according to similarities between spouses in MBTI types. However, they showed significant differences in divorce proneness of husband according to a similarity in the Sensing/Intuition indicator. They also showed significant differences in divorce proneness, positive affect, and conflict regulation between the couples for ISTJ (Introversion, Sensing, Thinking, Judging) or ESTJ (Extraversion, Sensing, Thinking, Judging) types compared to other couples. Conclusion: When nurses counsel couples, they should understand that differences in psychological type between spouses affects their marital relationship. In addition, nurses should educate couples on the characteristics of each type according to the couple's types and help them to understand each other, especially for couples where one spouse is the ISTJ/ESTJ type. These interventions will improve marital satisfaction and prevent the divorce in these couples.
