(2) family cohesion and adaptability levels, and (3) the satisfaction of children with their current family systems. The subjects of this study were 347 middle S. E. S. children (168 boys, 179 girls) in grade 6. Analysis of functional family systems was by The Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales III(1985) of the Circuplex Model (Olson et al., 1979). The Self-concept Inventory (Lim Jae Leun, 1987) was used to assess children's self-concepts. The data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ and Pearson correlation. It was found that there were no differences in children's self-concepts by types of functional systems. There were differences in children's self-concepts by family cohesion and adaptability levels. That is, the higher the level of cohesion and adaptability the more positive the child's self-concept. The more the child was satisfied with his/her current family system, the more positive the child's self-concept.

Internalizing and externalizing behavior problems may be more common in children with disability families but rarely known is the magnitude of the problem and the risk factors compared to those in children with non-disability families. This study was undertaken to examine if socio-economic factors, parental health, and family functioning affect children's internalizing and externalizing behaviors differently between two comparison groups. The research literature on childhood behaviors was briefly reviewed. The data was derived from the Mental Health of Children and Young People in Great Britain, 2004. Regression analyses provide evidence that the family type, economic status, and income level are uniquely associated with an increased risks of internalizing or externalizing behavior problems in children with disability families, whereas sex, age, family size, parental health, and family functioning factors have similar impacts on the child's internalizing or externalizing variances between two groups. Intervention is desirable to address the concerns influencing internalizing and externalizing performances among children with disability or non-disability families.

영재성의 계발에 영향을 끼치는 많은 요인들 중에서도 영재성을 최초로 발견하고 키워가는 가정 요인은 매우 중요하지 않을 수 없다. 한편 영재의 가정 관련 연구들은 대부분 가정환경 중 물리적 환경에 중점을 두고 있으며 심리적 환경에 관한 연구는 매우 부족한 실정이다. 영재 가족의 여가 활동은 영재 개인의 정서적, 지적, 사회적 발달은 물론이거니와 영재가족 구성원의 삶의 질의 향상을 위해 크게 기여하게 되는데, 영재가족의 여가에 관한 연구는 아직까지 실행되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구는 영재가족의 여가특성을 조사함으로써 추후 영재가족의 정서적, 사회적 성장의 시너지 효과를 독려하기 위한 부모교육 및 영재가족 지원의 방향 모색을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. 연구 결과 첫째, 영재가족의 여가활동 유형은 '가족지향 활동'과 '자기개발 활동'의 여가에 편중되어 있는 현상을 보이고 있었다. 둘째, 영재가족의 여가 활동 동기를 가족 수, 부모 각각의 연령, 부모의 교육 수준, 부모의 직업 등의 변인으로 유의수준을 검증한 결과 통계적으로 유의하지 않다는 결과를 얻었다. 본 연구의 결과는 건강한 영재성 성취를 위해 영재가족의 효율적 여가에 관한 교육과 지원이 필요함을 시사하고 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how children from low-income families perceived their family strength, ego-resilience and school adjustment. The relative magnitude of effects of family strength, ego-resilience and school adjustment were compared. Data were collected from 217 children in grade 4 through 6 who were attending local child welfare centers located in Seoul, Korea. The key research findings were as follows. Ego-resilience and perceived family strength were related to school adjustment among children in poverty. The relatively greater effect of ego-resilience implied that programs for children in poverty need to focus on developing interpersonal relationship skills or coping strategies designed to enable children from disadvantaged environments to deal with stressful events and to promote their ego-resilience. Additionally, the recovery or enhancement of family strength and ego-resilience will be effective at protecting and solving various adaptive problems that children from low-income families may experience at school.

This study analyzed the effect of family meals on the psychological problems of children. We performed focus group interviews (FGI) on the basic characteristics of family meals, and chose several scales (such as Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), self-esteem, and a daily hassles questionnaire), to measure the psychological variables. We collected data from 442 dyads (mother-child) and used 440 from dyads. In our results, the frequency of family meals affected the psychological problems of children, especially aggression and emotional instability. The atmosphere during meals also affected depression/anxiety, concentration difficulties, emotional instability, self-esteem, peer relationships, and sociality. There were significant correlations between meal atmosphere, family bonding, maternal personality, and psychological problems of children. We performed covariation analysis to examine and control the influence of family bonding and maternal personality; despite controlling for these variables, family meals still influenced children's psychological problems. We conclude that the family meal is a significant variable that impacts the emotional and behavioral problems of children and stress the importance of frequent family meals.
