With the increase in multi-cultural families, Korea is seeing a rapid increase in immigrated housewives, who are closely related to food culture. However, studies for the diet of multi-cultural families, which is most closely related to our lives have not been sufficiently researched. With this background, this study conducted research for immigrated women nationwide about food cultures to provide the possibility which Korean food culture would be developed harmoniously with various foreign food cultures. In this study, the immigrated women seemed to have adapted to Korean food culture quickly, but they showed differences according to some conditions like countries they are from and the time they have been in Korea. To achieve this, we need to conduct consistent and in depth studies for food cultures in multi-cultural families so that we can make healthy development in food culture, harmonious with traditional Korean culture.

This study aims to investigate the process of family distress to family crisis in multi-cultural families based on Hill's ABCX model. For this study, the qualitative study with depth interview was conducted with 8 multi-cultural families(e.g. husband, wife, child and elderly parent). The depth interview contents were marriage process, family relation or family interactions, social adaptation process, and social services needs. Results showed the followings: First, multi-cultural families had multiple distressors so that these distressors made multi-cultural families vulnerable to family crisis. Second, Hill's ABCX model explained the process of family distress to family crisis in the multi-cultural families in that they had few resources(both individual resources and family resources) and even worse they had negative cognitions about their own multi-cultural family systems. This situation made them difficult to solve their problems and to cope with their distressors. Third, major distressors in multi-cultural families were founded in this study. These were different cultural gap, communication difficulties, social discrimination to multi-cultural families, and lack of social support networks. Discussion will address suggestions about effective family policies for multi-cultural families in order to make them resilient to family crisis and help to well-adjusted in the korean society.

This study examined the resilience factors of multi-cultural families using depth interviews. Thirty-one multi-cultural families(totaling 98 individuals) were interviewed on a range of issues, including the process of marriage, the attitude of international marriage, family relations, social networks, the process of social adaptation, and their needs for specific social services. The resilience theory was used to categorize resilience factors, multi-cultural families. Analysis of results from depth interviews identified three broad resilience factors. The first was related to for belief systems which included 'family's common goal', The second was related to family functioning systems which included 'family cohesion', 'family adaptability', and 'satisfaction for role-expectation'. The third was related to social networking which included 'satisfaction from social activities'. These resilience factors helped multi-cultural families cope with stressful events and risk situations related to every day life. Results from this study imply that multi-cultural families possess the abilities to lead a meaningful and healthy life-style regardless of obstacles such as communication difficulties, cultural differences, and societal stigma.

본 연구는 다문화 결혼 이주여성에게 14주 동안 동화읽기 프로그램을 제공하여 그 효과를 자신감 측면에서 분석하였다. 연구결과 본 독서 프로그램은 (1) 다문화 여성들에게 독서능력 자신감의 향상은 가져왔으나 (2) 자기 개념적 자신감에 유의미한 변화는 없었다. (3) 동화읽기 프로그램은 이들이 한국생활에서 자신감을 가질 수 있는 많은 요인들을 제공하고 있었다. (4) 이들은 꿈은 있었지만 자신의 가능성을 펼 수 있는 자신감과 정보는 부족했다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 본 논문은 결혼이주 여성들이 한국에서 자신감을 가지고 살아갈 수 있도록 도서관에서 동화를 활용한 독서치료 프로그램, 다문화 커뮤니티 그룹, 다문화 주부교실을 운영하고, 그림 활용 정보이용 교육 실시가 필요하다는 근거를 제공하였다.

본 연구는 정책의제형성이 외부집단에 의해 형성된 정책이라기 보다는 정치의 흐름중에서 정부와 여당의 역할이 크게 기여했다는 점과 국내외의 국민을 대표하는 상징적인 정책이라는 점이다. 특히 이주노동자와 결혼이주여성 정책은 글로벌 시대에 해결해야할 중요한 정책이라는 점과 정부가 추진하는 '결혼이주여성 정책'의 결정과정을 살펴봄으로써 정책에 결정적으로 영향을 미친 요인을 확인하기 위한 좋은 사례이기 때문이다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위한 구체적인 방안은 다음과 같다. 한국 다문화정책에 대한 이론적 논의를 진행하고, 다문화 정책이 형성되는 과정을 논의한다. 진행 단계에서는 다문화담론의 형성과정과 다문화담론이 다양하게 이루어지는 분화과정, 그리고 부문별로 이루어지던 다문화담론의 정책화되는 과정이다.
