본 연구에서는 일차적인 부양자로서의 역할을 담당하고 있는 며느리들을 중심으로 시부모를 부양하면서 느끼는 스트레스를 완하시킬수 있는 자원에는 어떤 것들이 이는지를 살펴봄으로써 효과적인 시부모 부양방안을 규명하는데 그 목적이 있다. 767명의 며느리들을 대상으로 자료를 수집하여 회귀분석해 본 결과 자기통제력.부모부양태도와 같은 개인적요인, 부양의 호혜성.관계의 질과 같은 관계적 요인 및 비공식적 지원망의 성원들로부터의 지원과 같은 가족사회적 요인등이 부양스트레스 인지를 낮추는 것으로 나타나 이들요인들이 시부모를 부양하면서 부담 내지 스트레스를 느끼는 며느리들에게 주요한 부양자원이 된다고 할 수 있다. 이를 감안해 볼 때, 며느리의 부양 부담 및 스트레스를 낮출수 있는 다양한 자원에 초점을 둔 지역사회 단위의 교육 및 상담사업의 필요가 절실하다고 하겠다.

This study examined the mediating roles of parent and peer attachment in the relationship between academic stress and suicidal impulse among Korean adolescents. The 2959 ninth grade students in this study were selected from among 3211 students(excluding missing cases) who participated in the Korean Youth Panel Study. Following Baron & Kenny's(1986) suggestion, the mediator model was employed to analyze parent and peer attachment. Results showed that academic stress had a significant relationship with adolescent's suicidal impulse. Parent attachment acted as a partial mediator between academic stress and suicidal impulse; that is parent attachment provided a protective mechanism minimizing the direct effects of academic stress. However, peer attachment had no significant relationship with academic stress.

Mothers of 101 5- to 6-year-old children were administered the Parenting Efficacy Test (Shin & Jung, 1998; Ann & Park 2002) and the Parenting Stress Index (Lee, Yeom, & Shin, 2000). Children's emotional intelligence (EI) was measured by the Emotional Intelligence Test for Children (Lee & Lee, 2004b). Data were analyzed by correlation and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Correlation analysis demonstrated a relationship of parenting efficacy and stress with child's EI. MANOVA revealed that children, whose maternal parenting efficacy was in the upper thirty percent, showed higher EI than parenting efficacy in the lower thirty percent : children whose maternal parenting stress was in the upper thirty percent, showed lower EI than those with stress in the lower thirty percent.

The study aimed to determine the effects of Early Childhood STEP on parenting stress and child's behavior. The study subjects were 29 Korean mothers and their child. The researcher translated the Parent's guide of the Early Childhood STEP into Korean, along with the video tapes for parents. The experimental group was educated with the Early Childhood STEP program (lecture, reading educational material, discussion, watching video). To determine the pre- and post-test differences of parenting stress and infant behavior, t-test was used. The results are presented below. First, Early Childhood STEP exhibited a decreasing effect on the parenting stress of mothers. Second, STEP exhibited a decreasing effect on the infant behavior, particularly the behaviors in the areas of incapability, revenge, and power reactions.
