산업화로 특징되는 사회변동과 전통사회로부터 근대사회로 변화하는 역사적 배경을 주축으로 하는 한국사회의 거시적 맥락이 가족내 청소년 발달이라는 미시적 과정에 어떻게 관련되는가를 탐색해보는 시도로서 핵가족화와 가치관 변화가 청소년 발달에 미치게 되는 영향을 논의하였다 핵가족화는 단순한 가족형태상의 변화로서 청소년 발달에 관련되기 보다 는 산업화 과정에서 다른 가족구상의 변화와 맞물려 청소년 발달에 긍정적 또는 부정적 측 면에서 검토되어야 함을 강조한다 가족가치관의 변화를 역사적 맥락에서 이해하면서 전통적 집단주의 기능성이 이기적가족주의로 변용되어 청소년 발달에 미치ㅔ 되는 역기능적 실상이 학문적 노력과 정책적 주도하에 극복되어야 함을 시사한다.

The purpose of this study is two-fold: 1) to identify different adolescent smoking trajectories in Korea; and 2) to examine predictors of those smoking trajectories within a social developmental frame. Data were from the Korea Youth Panel Survey(KYPS), a longitudinal study of 3,449 youths followed since 2003. Using semi-parametric group-based modeling, four smoking trajectories were identified: non initiators, late onsetters, experimenters, and escalators. Multinomial logistic regressions were then used to identify risk and protective factors that distinguish the trajectory groups from one another. Among non smokers at age 13, late onsetters were distinguished from non initiators by a variety of factors in every ecological domain. Among youths who already smoked at age 13, escalators who increased their smoking were distinguished from experimenters who almost desisted from smoking by age 17 by self-esteem and academic achievement. Finally, implications for youth welfare practice from this study were discussed.
