The purpose of this study was to examine which sibling and parent-child characteristics were associated with siblisng warmth and conflict among Korean young adults. The data came from an online survey of Koreans aged 19-34 years who had at least one sibling and two living parents. We conducted a multilevel regression analysis using data from 193 men with 305 siblings and 203 women with 286 siblings. The results showed that, for men, the levels of warmth were higher when the sibling was younger, when they received more frequent financial and instrumental support from the sibling, and when maternal favoritism was relatively lower. Women reported higher levels of warmth when the sibling was a sister, when they provided more frequent support for the sibling, when they had a more affectionate relationship with the mother, and when paternal favoritism was lower. As for sibling conflict, the number of siblings was positively associated with the levels of conflict among both men and women. Maternal affection was negatively related with conflict for men, and paternal favoritism was positively related to conflict for women. Interestingly, women's sibling warmth and conflict were both higher when the sibling was a sister, which meant that relationships between sisters tended to be ambivalent. This study contributes to our understandings of Koreans' sibling relationships in young adulthood.

The purpose of this study is to explore Korean divorced mothers' experiences of noncustodial fathers' involvement in children's lives after divorce and co-parenting relationships. The data were collected from 17 mothers who were divorced between the years of 2004 and 2009, and were raising at least one minor child. Data were analyzed based on the inductive data analysis method. Divorced mothers' experiences of noncustodial fathers' involvement in children's lives after divorce were categorized in three ways: a satisfactory on-going relationship, a dissatisfactory on-going relationship, and a discontinued relationship. The results show that a few mothers were satisfied with the degree of the fathers' involvement in the children's lives 1) if the fathers were interested in their children and responsive to their children, and 2) if the fathers paid either child support or provided some financial supports for their children based on the fathers' financial abilities. However, the majority of the mothers were dissatisfied with the degree of the fathers' involvement in the children's lives. While some of the mothers maintained a relationship with the children's fathers despite their dissatisfaction, others discontinued the relationship. Regarding the co-parenting relationship after divorce, the relationships with the fathers were classified as either cooperative relationships or uncooperative relationships. The majority of the mothers experienced difficulties establishing cooperative co-parenting relationships with the fathers, but three mothers had cooperative relationships. The reasons for these uncooperative relationships were: uncooperative fathers, uncooperative mothers, or ambiguous communication regarding parenting after divorce. These findings suggest parenting education for divorced parents.

A rapid increase of the elderly population and changes in the social structure, family type and lifestyle bring us to the moment for considering the various aspects of supporting the elderly including the elderly housing facilities. Traditionally it is considered as a merit for a son to support parents in his own house. Hut recently the elderly increasingly want to live independently without support from their children. To satisfy these needs, new housing facilities for the elderly were developed by private non-profit foundations. A number of outstanding housing facilities for the elderly have been built in the last five years. These facilities show significant progress in housing for the elderly. Unfortunately, there u e no standard design checklists or guidelines for housing for the elderly available in Korea. The housing facilities were built based on foreign design guidelines or architect's experience. This research aims to develop an affordable design checklist that can meet the needs of the Korean elderly lifestyle. This study evaluated the senior residential facilities using Woo's checklist which consolidated the guidelines available here and abroad. As the result of this study, we presented the checklist subject in upper group $25\%, middle group, lower group $25\% distribution and 6, 5, 4, categories in order to importance. When designing the future senior residential facilities, a constraint can be made based on the scope and financial factors of the facility first and the determine how extensive the application of the checklist should be.

본 연구는 '2008년 노인생활실태조사'를 토대로 손자녀를 돌보는 조부모의 심리적 복지감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 살펴본 것이다. 특히 양육 상황, 양육지각, 자원 등을 손자녀 양육경험의 주요 차원으로 설정하여, 매개모형분석을 통해 이들 요인 간의 상호복합적 관련성을 검토하였다. 본 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 조사대상자들의 손자녀 양육동기의 대부분이 맞벌이가정의 자녀양육을 돕기 위함이었으며, 조사대상자의 대다수가 양육에 대한 대가를 받지 않았다. 둘째, 돌봄 상황 자체가 직접적으로 조부모의 심리적 복지감의 차이를 유발하지 않고, 돌봄 상황의 차이가 가져온 양육지각과 자원의 차이가 매개역할을 하면서 간접적으로 조부모의 심리적 복지감에 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 자원 중 경제형편과 이웃도움은 양육지각을 긍정적으로 높이는 것과 관련되었으며 자녀지지는 양육지각과 관련이 없었다. 결국, 본 연구는 현대 사회에서 조부모가 손자녀 양육을 통해 성인자녀세대의 경제활동을 지원함으로써 사회의 생산성을 유지하는 중요한 서비스 제공자임을 보여준다. 또한 손자녀 양육경험은 관련요인들이 서로 복잡하게 연결된 복합적 과정이며, 특히 손자녀 양육 조부모의 심리적 복지감에 작용하는 개인, 가족, 사회적 자원의 유용성을 주목할 필요가 있다. 이것은 조부모의 손자녀 양육이 더 이상 개인과 가족차원의 논의에 머무르지 않고 지역사회차원 이상의 관심사로 다루어짐으로써, 이들의 외적자원을 강화시키는 구체적인 방안이 강구되어야 함을 시사한다.

This study has examined the degree of depression and anxiety among high school students in an urban area and then explored the factors influencing their depression and/or anxiety status. Self-administered questionnaires were offered to 2,381 students from ten high schools in Daejon Metropolitan City. The items for investigation included such factors as various characteristics of school and family life, daily life style, and the degree of depression and anxiety. Based on the study results, the following conclusions were made； 1. The distribution according to the depression degree has shown that 61.9％ of students were normal, 32.9％ of students had mild depression, 5.0％ moderate depression, and 0.3％ severe depression. As for anxiety, 40.2％ of students were normal, while 19.1％ were classified as having anxiety and 40.7％ borderline anxiety. 2. As regards to the degree of depression and anxiety, it was greater in girls than boys, in 3rd graders than 1st and 2nd graders, and in the groups who have recieved lower grades in studies, who had poor relations with their friends and a low feeling of satisfaction with school life. In particular, concerning various characteristics of family life, the scores of depression and anxiety were higher in the groups whose financial conditions were poor, whose parents' interests were lower, whose degree of satisfaction with their family and school life was lower, than their counterparts. 3. According to their life styles higher scores of depression and anxiety were found in the groups whose sleeping time was inappropriate, whose breakfasts were skipped, who ate daily snacks, who didn't take regular exercises, and who had poor health habits, compared to their counterparts, respectively. 4. As for the correlation between the degree of depression and its associated variables, the higher scores of depression were in positive correlation with the groups who had lower grades in studies, poor relation with their friends, low feeling of satisfaction with school and home life, low parents' interest, poor subjective condition of health, breakfast skipping, lack of regular exercises, and lower indices of health habits. 5. As for anxiety, the higher scores of anxiety were in the positive correlation with the groups with poor relation with their friends, low feeling of satisfaction with school and family life, poor subjective condition of health, lack of regular exercises, and poor health habits. 6. The influential factors on the depression of students were selected such as subjective condition of health, sex, feeling of satisfaction with family and school life, grades in studies, relation with their friends, presence of regular exercises, degree of interest of parents, sleeping time, cigarette smoking and eating breakfast. 7. The influential factors on the anxiety state of students were selected such as subjective condition of health, feeling of satisfaction with family and school life, sex, sleeping time, regular exercises, cigarette smoking, snacking and relations with their friends. The present study results suggest that girls rather than boys, higher graders than lower ones are more vulnerable to anxiety and depression state, and besides, various characteristics of school and family life, and daily life style can be influential on students' emotional states. Therefore, better management of psychological status of students is thought to require a wide variety of measures to modify the influencing factors and to encourage social support.

본 연구에서는 유아교육 공교육의 활성화에 대하여 재조명하려 하며, 이를 위하여 교사와 학부모를 대상으로 공교육화에 대한 인식과 공교육화 방향에 대한 현황을 조사 분석하여 유아교육 공교육화 정립을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 그에 따른 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 유아교육 공교육에 대한 부모와 교사의 인식은 서로 많은 차이를 보였다. 유아교육 공교육의 필요성에 대하여 부모들은 교육기회의 균등화 등을 이유로 꼭 필요하다고 인식하고 있었으나, 교사들은 사립 유아교육기관들의 운영이 어려워질 것이기 때문 등의 이유로 유아교육 공교육이 아직까지는 필요하지 않다고 인식하고 있었다. 둘째, 유치원 교육환경에 대해서 살펴본 결과, 교사와 부모들은 우리나라 유아들의 유치원 취학 기회에 대하여 불공정하며, 유아교육의 공교육화가 추진될 때의 교육비 재정부담에 대해 국고지원으로 무상화 되어야 한다고 하였다. 유아교육의 공교육화에서 추진해야 하는 교육 내용의 방식에 대해서는 지역중심으로 프로그램의 개발 실시라는 의견이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 공교육화가 추진된다면 유치원을 보내야 한다고 생각하는 나이에 대해 부모들은 만 5세라는 의견이 가장 많았으며, 다음으로 만 4세라는 의견이 많았으며, 반면 교사들은 만 4세가 가장 많았으며, 만 3세 라는 의견으로 많은 것으로 나타났다. 유치원 교육여건과 관련하여 공교육화 추진 시 적당한 유치원 규모에 대해 부모들은 3-4학급이라는 의견이 많았으며, 교사들은 4-5학급이라는 의견이 많았다. 즉, 부모들이 교사들보다 공교육화 추진 시 적당한 유치원의 학급 수에 대해 더 적게 생각하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 유치원 교육여건과 관련하여 교사 1인당 적당한 원아 수에 대하여 부모들은 11-15명이라는 의견이 많았으며, 교사들은 16-20명이라는 의견이 많았다. 셋째, 유아교육 공교육의 추진방향을 살펴본 결과, 유아교육의 공교육화를 추진하고자 할 때, 앞으로의 공립 유치원의 설립형태에 대한 생각에 대해 부모들은 국가의 재정적 지원과 관리 감독이라는 의견이 많았으며, 교사들은 교원인건비 및 운영비 보조 및 관리가 이루어져야 한다 라는 의견이 많았다.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore ecological factors and strategies for childhood obesity prevention targeting vulnerable children using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) methodology. Methods: The CBPR was conducted by following basic process steps. Participants were 12 community stakeholders such as community child center directors (n=4), vulnerable children's mothers (n=3), community health center officials (n=2), and lay health advisors (n=4); they were purposively sampled from K municipal county in Seoul, South Korea. The qualitative content analysis was performed to explore main themes of the ecological factors and strategies by using data obtained from 5 times of focus group interview. Results: Twelve ecological factors associated with childhood obesity prevention were identified: Intrapersonal factors including emotional overeating; interpersonal factors including permissive parenting style of children's eating behaviors; organizational factors including social workers' less educational opportunities; and community/policy factors including less government financial support. Four ecological strategies for childhood obesity prevention were addressed: Developing obesity prevention programs targeting vulnerable children' lifestyles; promoting parents' active participation in education; building healthy meal service environments through empowering social workers; and building supportive community environment and securing community resources for child obesity prevention. Conclusion: Our findings may be informative in terms of providing a comprehensive understanding of multi-level ecological barriers against vulnerable children' obesity prevention and, moreover, guiding multi-level strategies for preventing childhood obesity targeting children enrolled in community child centers.
