This study examined the relationship among parenting behaviors, children's perfectionism and achievement motivation, using a sample of 338 fifth and sixth graders. The participants completed questionnaires on parenting behaviors and their perfectionism and achievement motivation. Data were analyzed by factor analyses and multiple regression analysis. Both boys and girls had higher achievement motivation when they perceived higher parental levels of acceptance, and girls showed higher achievement motivation when they perceived higher maternal control/over-expectation. Boys who exhibited self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism and girls who exhibited self-oriented perfectionism showed higher achievement motivation. Boys had higher self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism when perceiving higher parental acceptance and control/over-expectation. Girls showed higher self-oriented perfectionism when perceiving higher parental acceptance and control/over-expectation, and they showed higher socially prescribed perfectionism when perceiving higher paternal control/over-expectation and maternal acceptance and control/over-expectation. It was revealed that both boys' and girls' perfectionism tended to play mediating roles between parenting behaviors and achievement motivation.

This study empirically examined the effects of filial piety on motivations for parenthood among Vietnamese and Korean college students, who represent a generation of young adults and prospective parents in both countries. The Vietnamese data were collected from 325 college students enrolled in three universities located in Hanoi and Korean data were collected from 216 students from a single large university in Seoul. Student respondents were asked to complete the self-administered questionnaire including 'Filial Piety Scale' and 'Motivations for Parenthood Scale.' The results revealed that the Vietnamese students reported a significantly higher level of 'general filial piety' than their Korean counterparts. Vietnamese and Korean participants showed no significant difference in total motivations for parenthood. Among the five sub-factors of motivations for parenthood, however, the Vietnamese students were more likely to place a value on the expansion of self-motivation while their Korean counterparts considered the motivation to strengthen biological family ties to be more salient. Finally, after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, hierarchical regression analysis revealed that the more filial Vietnamese and Korean college students were towards their parents, the more child-related motives they held in general. The results are discussed in relation to each country's degree of modernization and to recommend prospective family planning and population policies in Vietnam based on the experiences of Korea industrialization.

This study was conducted to analyze the effect on entrepreneurial intention and empirically analyze which factors have the greatest influence. To this end, self-achievement motivation, indirect experience, role model, awareness of entrepreneurs, and fear of business failure were set as independent variables as factors influencing entrepreneurial intention. In order to empirically analyze this, 399 valid samples for the general public were analyzed. SPSS 25.0 was used for statistical analysis. As a result of the empirical analysis of this study, self-achievement motivation, indirect experience, role model, awareness of entrepreneurs, and fear of business failure all had a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial intention. The results of this study confirmed that self-achievement motivation had the greatest influence among the factors affecting entrepreneurial intention. It is significant in that indirect experiences and role models such as theoretical entrepreneurship lectures, special entrepreneurship lectures, and parents or acquaintances influence entrepreneurial intention.

The purpose of the present study is to analyze the trajectory of science core school students' STEM career motivation and to examine the relationship between the trajectory patterns and students' tracks. Longitudinal STEM career motivation data with seven constructs were collected from 256 students for five semesters and the data were analyzed by using group-based trajectory modelling analysis. In order to examine the relationship between trajectory pattern groups and the tracks, chi-square tests were conducted. Based on our findings, we found that students are likely to have similar trajectory patterns in STEM career education experience and in their perception towards STEM career value. In terms of parents' support, academic self-efficacy and STEM career motivation aspects are divided into two distinctive trajectory groups ('high' and 'low' group), while two other variables, STEM career self-efficacy and STEM career interest, are divided into three trajectory groups ('moderate declining', 'high declining', 'increasing' group). Most of the trajectory groups are shown the pattern that the level of each constructs increase until their second academic year, then after that, the patterns started going down. Moreover, there are significant relationship between track and each trajectory groups. Science track and science-core track students have similar trajectory patterns. In contrast, humanities track students have different trajectory groups in some constructs. Based on these findings, we suggest that STEM career education environment should consider various patterns of students' STEM career development.

The aim of this study was to validate the influence from academic stress caused by the achievement pressure of their parents and the adjustment effect of self-differentiation. The data was collected from 257 students from the 19th of May, 2014 to the 30th of May, 2014 for freshmen and sophomores of a college in the Kyoungbook region to validate the study. The SPSS/PC 18.0 program was used for the statistical analysis. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed more less influence of academic stress caused by the achievement pressure((${\beta}=.111$, p<0.05) of their parents but there was no reasonable value in validating the adjustment effect to reduce the academic stress by self-differentiation, i.e., it should be a non-linear and complex effect rather than a simple linear relationship for self-differentiation.

Ten middle-aged women who support their biological parents have been interviewed to investigate their experiences of caregiving their parents. As a qualitative research method, data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed by Colaizzi's phenomenological method. Consequently 244 meaningful sentences were selected from the collected interview data and then were sorted into 67 meaningful sentences and, consequently into 9 sub-themes. Finally four high-level themes are wrapped through the summarizing process. The first theme is motivation of caregiving. Inevitable cases are most common for caregiving their biological parents. And, general responsibilities to their parents are also deduced as a motivation of caregiving. The second theme is a psychological phenomenon of middle-aged women while they provide consistent caregiving their biological parents even though they have some troubles with their parents. The third theme is meaning of caregiving. For some women, caregiving their biological parents is their own happiness and gratitude such as lifelong gifts. The final theme is influence of caregiving. Further understanding their parents, and more distinct prospecting their future lives are unexpected fruits from the caregiving their biological parents.

In this study, it was compared how different the adjustment, self-perception, social support and stress between science-gifted children and general children, and the difference between gifted boys and girls. And it was identified what are the effects on stress of science-gifted children. The subjects were 89 science-gifted children of the first grade in Middle School at JeonJu. Science-gifted students in this study were identified through the teacher nomination and CNU(ChonbukNational University) Science & Math Tests. We used the standard object as the comparative group (general children). The results of this study were as follow; First, all personal-adjustment and social-adjustment domains, self-perception and teacher support of science-gifted children were significantly higher than those of general children. All disadjustment domains, parent support and friend support of science-gifted children were significantly lower than those of general children. Second, the self-planning, prejudice, social competence, behavioral conduct, global self worth, parent support, teacher support and classmate support of the science-gifted children had the significant difference according to the gender. Third, the motive of accomplishment, self-planning, attachment and social-affirmation of the science-gifted children correlated negatively with their stress. Fourth, the social competence, athletic competence, physical appearance, behavioral conduct, global self worth and social support of the science-gifted children correlated negatively with their stress. The global self worth of the science-gifted children had the significant difference according to the variables such as teacher support, close friend support, parent support and classmate support in the other of name. The most influential factor was teacher support. The stress of the science-gifted children had the significant difference according to the variables such as parent support, close friend support and global self worth in the other of name. The most influential factor was parent support.
