This study examined the effect of maternal cognitive empathy on children's executive function focusing on mediating effects of preschooler's caring behavior and happiness. The subject of this study was 460 five-year-old preschooler-their mother dyads in Korea. Data were collected by Korean Version of Questionnaire of Cognitive and Affective Empathy(K-QCAE), Caring Behaviors Scale for Young Children, Happiness Scale for Young Children and Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool Version(BRIEF-P). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, Pearson correlation analysis, structural equation model and bootstrapping test with SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 23.0 program. The major results were as follows. 1) Maternal cognitive empathy had a positive influence on preschooler's caring behavior. 2) Preschooler's caring behavior had a positive influence on happiness and executive function. 3) Preschooler's happiness had a positive influence on executive function. 4) The effect of maternal cognitive empathy on preschooler's executive function was mediated by preschooler's caring behavior. 5) The effect of maternal cognitive empathy on preschooler's executive function was sequentially mediated by preschooler's caring behavior and happiness. This study revealed that maternal cognitive empathy, preschooler's caring behavior, and happiness have an important role in preschooler's executive function. Most of all, we suggest that maternal cognitive empathy should be improved to promote preschooler's executive function. The findings of this study will contribute to designing intervention programs to improve preschooler's executive function as well as maternal empathy.

본 연구는 경제적 가치와 환경가치를 유기적으로 결합시키는 행복경제학적 접근을 적용하여 자연관과 효용의 관계를 비교하고자 한다. 회귀분석을 수행한 결과 다음과 같은 사항을 발견할 수 있었다. 첫째, 본 분석에서는 자연관에 따라 행복함수 형태가 다르다는 것을 실증적으로 확인하였다. '인간중심적 자연관'의 가치체계는 경제가치중심이며 환경, 신뢰와 같은 비 물질가치 요소가 무시할 정도로 낮은 것임을 통계적 유의도를 통하여 알 수 있다. 둘째, '생태중심적 자연관'은 경제를 포함한 환경, 사람신뢰를 동시에 고려하는 중층적 가치체계를 가지고 있다고 할 수 있다. 그들의 가치체계에 따르면 인간의 편의와 경제적 가치에 치우친 행위는 행복극대화 관점에서 합리적이지 않다는 점을 분석 결과에서 알 수 있다.

Objective: This study investigated how family cohesion influences adolescents' positive attitude formation and their happiness as classified into hedonistic happiness and eudaimonistic happiness. We also examined whether adolescents' positive attitude functions as a mediator between family cohesion and the two kinds of happiness. Particularly, positive attitude consists of three subfactors: positive perspective, self-positivity, and social positivity. This study focused on exploring which subfactor primarily plays a mediating role. Methods: A total of 320 middle school students participated in the present study. Results and Conclusion: The findings of the study are as follows: first, positive attitude was shown to function as a mediator between family cohesion and two kinds of happiness. Second, through an analysis of multiple mediation, self-positivity and social positivity were found to be mediators between family cohesion and hedonistic happiness. However, positive perspective and self-positivity were revealed to serve as mediators between family cohesion and eudaimonistic happiness. Only self-positivity, being considered as a core construct of positive attitude, turned out to be a common mediator between family cohesion and the two kinds of happiness.

한국인이 생각하는 행복의 구성요소를 파악하고, 이를 바탕으로 행복지수 공식을 개발하기 위해 FGI(6l명)와 설문조사(1,503명)를 실시하였다. 연구결과 16개의 행복요인이 도출되었고, 이들 요인을 Alderfer(1972)의 생존 관계 성장 욕구위계 이론에 따라 3요소로 재분류한 뒤, LISREL을 이용하여 측정 모형에 의한 가중치를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 한국인의 행복지수 공식은 '행복=2.5*생존+2.5*관계+5*성장'으로 나타났고, 공식에 따른 한국인의 행복점수는 평균 57.71로 나타났다. 성별로는 여성보다 남성이 더 행복하다고 지각하고 있었고, 연령대에 따른 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 지역별로 살펴보면 서울과 대전 지역이 다른 지역보다 행복한 것으로 나타났고, 경제수준에 따라서는 250만원을 기준으로 행복감에서의 두드러진 차이를 보였다. 또한 행복점수에 따라 상위 33%(즉, 행복하다고 느끼는 집단)와 하위 33%(즉, 불행하다고 느끼는 집단)을 구분하여 평균차이를 분석한 결과, 생존과 관계요소에서의 차이보다는 개인적이고 심리적인 요인인 성장요소에서 큰 점수 차이를 보였다. 따라서 생존 요소와 관계 요소보다는 성장요소가 한국인의 행복감 지각에 상대적으로 더 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 마지막으로 한국인의 행복을 위한 제언을 소개하였다.

본 연구는 서울시 아파트 200가구의 거주자를 대상으로 실내식물이 거주자의 행복지수에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위한 조사로서, 그 동안 원예치료와 식물의 기능성 연구 등 여러 연구를 통해 나타난 식물의 인간에 대한 긍정적인 역할에 착안하여, 거주자와 가장 가까이 있는 실내식물이 궁극적인 목표인 거주자의 행복에 어떻게 관여하고 있는지를 분석하고자 하였다. 실내식물을 키우면서 행복감이 가장 컸을 때는 꽃이 피었을 때라고 응답한 사람이 전체의 57% 로 가장 많았고, 그 뒤를 이어 새싹이 돋았을 때가 33% 를, 분갈이 했을 때와 직접 키운 식물을 분양했을 때가 각각 2%, 기타가 7% 였다. 식물과 함께하는 시간이 많을수록 행복지수는 1시간 내에서 정비례관계를 보였다. 실내식물의 재배관리주체가 누구냐에 따른 행복지수에서는 본인이 직접 관리하는 경우의 행복지수가 67.90, 가족구성원이 관리하는 경우의 행복지수는 65.09, 기타가 64.79로 분석되었다. 실내식물 선호도와 실내정원의 면적에 따른 행복지수도 정비례관계를 나타냈으며 실내화분 식물의 개수가 많아지면 행복지수도 증가하였다.

This study is to solve following problems by a family leisure as the problem of a single person in seclusion type, teenager-children being addicted to game, the disconnection of culture inheritance among inter-generation, the elder being isolated from leisure, the increase of the children using a key to go into home alone, the problem of a gender discrimination. This study defines the policy for a family leisure as "policy that ultimately creates the happiness of family, prevents the family problem and deals with it, through the leisure activities that are suitable to family life cycle". It also considers some other important properties(equality, gender and family life cycle, space) besides the constitution and function of family leisure. To create the happiness of family, the direction of the policy for a family leisure heads toward the positive function such as unification, creativity, and psychological stability of family members. At this point, the object of the policy for a family leisure is a unit of the family and it focuses on the level of interaction and positive function development between family members, being beyond the concept of family activity. Therefore, the policy that is to vitalize a family leisure must contain the interaction and positive function between the family members. Hereupon, to vitalize a family leisure, this study leads above-mentioned subjects based on programming, running leisure facility, information system, experts, social awareness, and supporting to the various family. Specialty, the process of leading these subjects is connected to the suggestion of the concrete program and then, is to result in supporting the program development for the essential leisure policy.
