This study compared generative fathering and parenting styles of 90 Korean and 73 American fathers who had a child 3 to 5 years of age. The data were collected through questionnaires on generative fathering, parenting styles, and father-child relationships. Results showed that Korean fathers were more involved in child rearing and perceived their parental responsibilities more strongly than American fathers; American fathers showed authoritative parenting and Korean fathers showed authoritarian parenting styles; among American fathers, the warmth factor contributed to the closeness between father and child; among Korean fathers, the control factor showed a negative relationship with conflict between father and child. These results suggest that the function of father's control in child development might vary by cultural contexts.

This study explored the contribution of mother's representation of her mother and father during early years, marital satisfaction, and husband's participation in child caring to mothers' parenting behaviors. The subjects were 253 middle-class mothers and fathers in Seoul who had 2-to 3-year-old children. The data were gathered through questionnaires developed for the current study. As predicted, marital satisfaction and husband support as well as early family experiences were significant variables in predicting positive mothering for mothers of young children. However, the most powerful predictor of mothers' parenting turned out to be marital satisfaction. It was noteworthy that mothers who experienced positive and secure relationships with their own mothers were actively involved/intimate with their children whereas mothers who had insecure relationships with their own fathers showed more authoritarian control over their children.

This research attempts to describe and explain the development of Korean environmental movement. It finds that the emergence of Korean environmental movement was constrained by the authoritarian nature of Korean politics. In 1970s, environmental movements were primitive and were not organized ones. With the wake of democratization in the 1980s, Korean environmental movement began to get some momentum. And in the 1990s, environmental movement to save clean water has achieved some success in certain areas. However, the emphasis on the growth of local economy in the age of local autonomy system has brought heavy degradation of local environment. The coming of the phenomena of Globalization and Cyber-Age has brought positive effects on Korean environmental movement.

The analyses of the aircraft accidents across all of the world, including Korea, reported that 70 % of the accidents could be attributed to the faults of pilots' human factors. It implied that the aircraft accidents could be cut down remarkably if the pilots' faults were reduced. In this context, the purpose of the study were to explore and reduce the problems of authoritarian job performance in the cockpit operation of which mainly depended on the captain, though it was supposed that two or more pilots work together as a team. In relation to this, the current worldwide trend of pilot education had tended to emphasize education on the human factors of pilots since the strong recommendation of the International Civil Aviation Organization in the 1980's. From the educational dimension of the pilots, it was attempted to explore a new educational perspective which would enhance the flight crew's performance of the cockpit through improving the courses of the pilot education curriculum and the teaching-learning methods.

Definition of health education can be various depending on historical background and individual point of view. In the industrialized era when health promotion is given a high priority in health activities, health education could be defined as a combination of planned learning experiences and social actions, which expand health knowledge and experiences of individuals and communities in order to meet their health needs, change harmful health behaviors to be desirable for health promotion and motivate them to do that. To realize the proposed definition of health education, health education should develop new policies in harmony with health promotion, facilitate the development of human resources, reflect the modern educational technology, strengthen multisectoral approach, and pay more attention to monitoring and evaluation. To fulfill the above mentioned role, health education approach should shift foci from diseases to health orientation, from individualistic health behavior modification to a systematic change of the general public, from medical domination to recognition of lay competence and from authoritarian health education to supportive health education.

By targeting 113 gifted underachievers and 128 gifted achievers from 17 elementary schools, this study examines the home variables that affect gifted children's underachievement. In an effort to determine home variables of gifted achievers and underachievers, their homes' socio-economic status was analyzed and their parental child-rearing behavior was examined. First, the home environments of the gifted achievers and underachievers were compared, with the finding that their homes' socio-economic status, parental child-rearing behavior and other home factors differed. Parents of gifted achievers raised their children in a rational and democratic manner, while those of gifted underachievers tended to raise their children in an irrational and authoritarian manner. Second, discrimination analysis was conducted using home variables that showed a statistically significant difference, indicating that their homes' socio-economic status showed a low discrimination compared with their parental child-rearing behavior. Likewise, among the family factors, active involvement had the greatest effect on the underachievement of gifted children.

Using questionnaire data from a sample of 236 mothers who have 4-6 years old children in Seoul, this study examined a model of how child's temperament, mother's temperament and parenting stress influence mother's parenting behavior. In general, child's temperament affected mother's parenting indirectly, rather than directly, through its impact on parenting stress and, in turn, parenting behavior. Mother's temperament, in particular, mother's emotionality had a direct effect on parenting as well as parenting stress. As expected, mother's emotionality predicted more reject-authoritarian parenting and this relation was partially mediated by mother's parenting stress. Implications are discussed in terms of the relative contribution of child's temperament and mother's temperament on parental functioning and the importance of mother's psychological well-being.
