In some studies regarding acculturation strategies developed Berry(1997), not the preference for integration, but the preference for assimilation showed the best adjustment, which is different from the results of the majority of studies. For the reason of these results, we supposed that when the people of the host society expect the minority members to be assimilated to the host society and the minority members have very similar culture to the host society, the preference for assimilation in the minority members would show the best adjustment. And we tested this hypothesis with Korean-Chinese who had very similar culture to Korean culture and Han-Chinese who had very different culture from Korean culture. For two hundred and twenty five students(63 Korean-Chinese and 162 Han-Chinese), we asked them to complete a questionnaire including Acculturation Strategies Scale, Psychological Well-being Scale, and Depression Inventory. Data from the survey were analysed using two-way ANOVA. As a result, the interaction effect of acculturation strategies and ethnic types affected both of psychological well-being and depression. In details, for Korean-Chinese students, the preference for assimilation showed the highest levels of psychological well-being and the lowest levels of depression, but the preference for integration showed the lowest levels of psychological well-being and the highest levels of depression. For Han-Chinese students, the preference for integration showed the highest levels of psychological well-being and the lowest levels of depression, and the preference for marginalization showed the lowest levels of psychological well-being and the highest levels of depression. We discussed the meanings of the results, implications, and interventions to help Chinese students adjust Korean society.

This study was intended to identify path structures through pathway analysis with an emphasis on the cognitive elements that influence the acculturative stress of marriage-based immigrant women. The results of the study were designed to establish a foundation for practical measures and policies to support marriage-based immigrant women to adjust their lives in the culture. This study has established research model on the path structure according to the psychological stress theory as to how social support, coping strategy, and acculturative attitude recognized as a cognitive element of marriage-based immigrant women on the acculturative stress and implement practical verification. In addition, control variables for the use of ages, education level, period of marriage, and income level of socio-demographic variables were analyzed. To obtain data for the study, convenience sampling and snowball sampling of marriage-based immigrant women that resided in the area of C and J were conducted simultaneously through surveys and applied to the analysis of 204 cases. Analysis of the path structure of influence of social support, coping strategies, and acculturative attitudes that were perceived as a cognitive element of marriage-based immigrant women influencing acculturative stress revealed that these factors were specifically weighted towards acculturative. Moreover, comprehensive acculturative attitude was identified as a crucial variable reducing the effects of acculturative stress during the acculturative procedures of marriage-based immigrant women. This assumes that establishing and performing policies supporting co-existence of homeland cultures of marriage-based immigrant women and Korean cultures might be an efficient action for dealing with acculturative stress rather than forcing them to adjust to Korean culture.

인간과 환경과의 관계의 역사적 변천을 인구변화와 자원관리의 측면에서 분석하는 기존 관점은 인구기초이론, 기술기초이론, 시장기초이론 등으로 분류된다. 이러한 관점은 어느 한가지 변수를 독립 변수로 가정하는 입장을 취하므로 흔히 '단일요소이론'이라고 불리며, 제각기 장점이 있기는 하지만 현실 세계의 복합성을 단지 부분적으로 설명하는데 그치는 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 현실세계의 모든 사건은 개방된 체계 속에서 발생하기 때문에, 모든 사건은 단선적인 인과관계로 파악될 수 없을 만큼 서로 복합하게 얽혀 있다. 이에 대하여 문화생태이론은 단일요소이론의 그러한 한계를 극복하고 현실세계의 복합성을 분석할 수 있는 개념과 방법을 제시하고 있다. 문화생태이론은 실로 인간과 환경과의 관계가 역사적으로 변천해 온 과정을 탐구하는데 적합한 개념과 방법을 장점으로 내세우는 새로운 관점이라 할 수 있다. 문화생태이온은 인구, 기술, 시장, 제도 등 요소의 중요성이 시간과 장소에 따라 다를 수 있다는 가정 하에서 어떠한 요소라도 어느 한 장소와 시점에서 인간과 환경과의 관계의 변화를 주도할 수 있다고 기대한다. 한국 농촌의 인간과 환경과의 관계를 탐구함에 있어서 활성되어야 할 문화생태이론의 기초적인 개념은 '지역인간생태계'와 '문화적 적응'이다. 한국 농촌의 지역인간생태계는 그 특성상 인구, 농업, 시장, 제도로 구성되어 있다고 볼 수 있다. 문화적 적응이란 변화하는 환경 속에서 사회구성원들의 환경에 대한 적응도를 높일 수 있는 행동양식을 새로이 선택하는 행위를 일컫는다. 한국 농촌에서는 적응전략이란 농업의 집약화와 상업화 또는 산아제한과 인구이동이라는 측면에서 분석될 수 있을 것이다. 생존, 기술, 취락형태, 토지이용, 무역이나 교역 등은 적응전략을 분석하는데 간접적인 자료를 제공해 줄 것이다.

This study examined coping strategies and perceived changes of the Chinese international students in South Korea. A total of 56 Chinese students participated and data was analyzed using the concept mapping method. The results showed that Chinese international students adopted developing language proficiency and using social networks as important coping strategies. They also perceived a wide range of changes including changes in the cultural and personal self. However, the perception of these coping strategies and changes differed by the length of stay. Chinese international students who stayed longer reported using specific coping strategies for mood regulation, which was distinctive from the coping strategies used by students who stayed for a shorter period of time. Students who stayed longer perceived negative changes as well as positive changes, while students who stayed for a shorter period reported predominantly positive changes. The findings indicate that university staff needs to understand and sensitively respond to the distinctive experiences of Chinese international students which vary across time.

This study was conducted to explore the effects of self-sufficiency and conflict resolution strategies on clinical practice adaptation for 4th graders in nursing college and provide basic data when preparing education and training measures for positive clinical practice adaptation. The data of 243 4th graders in nursing students were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. As a result of exploring factors that affect clinical practice adaptation, the higher clinical practice satisfaction, the more self-isolated, the less over-identical, and the use of compromise as a conflict resolution strategy and the use of avoidance and domination. These variables were 43.3% influential in explaining the adaptability of nursing students to clinical practice.

This study aims to examine heterogeneous acculturation patterns of elite North Korean female defectors in South Korea. The study employed a synthetic comparative analysis. A series of in-depth interviews with 5 North Korean female defectors in South Korea were conducted. In addition, the research team implemented 20 open-ended surveys with other defectors. Through this study, we have found various types of cultural adaptation in the group of the elite North Korean women in South Korea. The study findings imply that it is imperative to establish national policies that support different types of North Korean defectors. Putting all North Koreans into one category might result in alienation and discrimination to some groups. Thus how the participants reframed their social identify in South Korea illuminates essential facets of human-right education, especially education for refugees and immigrants in different global and multi-cultural contexts.

The purposes of the presented study were to investigate the characteristics related to the acculturation strategies and to investigate characteristics which discriminated the acculturation strategies among immigrated women in Korea based on the multidimensional perspective on acculturation. The study was designed as a social survey study. Data from 346 immigrated women were analyzed. Findings indicated that 37% of the respondents were marginalization, 30% were integration, 18% were segregation, and 15% were assimilation. Integration was associated with Vietnam nationality, younger age, lower level of education. Assimilation was related to longer period of residence, higher number of children, lower level of resilience. Marginalization was associated with North Korea, Japan, China nationality, older age, higher level of education. Segregation was related to older age, higher level of education, lower number of children. Also, Southeast nationality, age, level of education, spouse, and number of children significantly discriminated the acculturation strategies. Especially, the rate of correct discrimination was 80% only for integration. Practical implications from this study were discussed.

This study is performed to understand and resolve psychologically the issue of North Korea-South Korea's cultural heterogeneity which is treated importantly in unification debates. We collected data from 181 North Korea Defectors through survey, and found out that the North Korea Defectors perceived cultural heterogeneity so much especially at the early settlement stage. However, this fact itself didn't give a serious suggestion, What is significant was how much South Korean cultural orientation they had as a coping strategy. When they coped with South Korean cultural orientation, they showed high level of self-efficacy, and furthermore they demonstrated high level of psychological adaptation. By the way, this psychological adaptation level was not significantly correlated with positive index such as life satisfaction, but correlated with negative index such as depression. That is, low self-efficacy group showed high level of depression and 43% of them could be classified as a depression-symptom group. Thus, we can conclude that it is rather helpful for the North Korean Defectors to have South Korean cultural orientation for overcoming North Korea-South Korea's cultural heterogeneity, and coping strategy is more important than cultural heterogeneity itself.
