Objectives : This study examined the relationship of parent-related negative life events with mental health and delinquent behaviors among Korean adolescents. Methods : A total of 2,976 high school first-grade pupils (1,498 boys & 1,478 girls) taking part in the third wave of Korean Youth Panel Survey completed a self-administered questionnaire regarding parent-related life events, depressive feelings, suicidal ideation, delinquent behaviors, demographic characteristics, parental socioeconomic status, social support, and social capital. Data analyses were conducted using multivariate logistic regression. Results : After adjusting for all covariates, the more parent-related negative life events adolescents experienced throughout their whole life, the more likely adolescent were to have mental and behavioral problems. A significant dose-response relationship between them was more clearly observed in girls than in boys. The experience of parentrelated negative events during childhood was significantly associated with suicidal ideation and delinquent behaviors for boys, and with depressive feelings for girls during adolescence. Indeed, parental social support, social capital, and having a close friend with delinquent behaviors, especially for girls, partially mediated the relationship between parent-related negative life events and both outcomes. Conclusions : The study showed a clear dose-response relationship of frequency of parent-related negative life events with poor mental and behavioral health for both genders. The residual effect of being exposed to parent-related events during childhood on mental health and delinquent behaviors during adolescence still remained.

The purpose of this study is to examine depression in adulthood caused by the influence of negative life events (disaster accident, physical violence and emotional abuse) in pre-adulthood and explore the mediator effect of interpersonal maladjustment. To carry out such task, 974 people who have had negative life event experiences before the age of 18 were chosen based on the data from the 2012 Korean General Social Survey(KGSS) and Stata 10.0 was used to do the analysis. As a result, it was found that there was a direct relationship between negative life events in pre-adulthood and depression in adulthood. Specifically, experiences from an accident or disaster had a direct impact on depression. Moreover, experiences of physical violence and emotional abuse not only had a direct influence on depression, but also through maladjustment, it had an indirectly partial mediator effect that increases the chances of depression. Through this result, it was evident that negative life events from pre-adulthood had a negative effect on continuous interpersonal maladjustment as well as psychological welfare throughout the adulthood. Therefore, there needs to be thorough prevention measures on negative life events in pre-adulthood and strongly take post treatment into consideration. Through building a safe life environment, great deal of social support from social organizations should be prepared systematically.

Negative life events, self-esteem, perceived social support, and maladjustment were studied longitudinally among late elementary children. Subjects were 241 boys and girls for depression and 258 for antisocial behavior. The instruments were the Adolescent Perceived Events Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Social Support Scale for Children, the Revised Korean Version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies' Depression Scale, and the Antisocial Behavior Scale. The results showed that the way variables were reciprocally related to one another in patterns over a period of one year differed by internal and external adjustment. For depression, depression at Time 1 had effects on self-esteem, social support, and depression at Time 2. For antisocial behavior, negative life events at Time 1 influenced negative life events, self-esteem, social support, and antisocial behavior at Time 2. The findings were discussed in relation to the effects of negative life events, self-esteem, and perceived social support on maladjustment.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of negative life events on mental health and to explore possible main and moderating effects of spousal support on mental health with a focus on gender differences. The data for this study were taken from a nationwide random sample of 1,504 married men and women ranging in age from 30 to 59 through structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed using the SPSS WIN program which was used to calculate frequency, mean, 1-test, multiple regressions. The main results were as follows: First, by examining mental health of Korean men and women, women were more likely than men to experience higher levels of depression. Second, there was no gender difference in the sum of experience of negative life events, therefore the date of this study did not support the differential exposure hypothesis. In addition, men perceived more support from their spouses than women. Third, results show that especially the event concerning with job/financial problems has negative impacts on mental health of both men and women, and vulnerability to undesirable life events was not found. Fourth, spousal support is associated with better mental health regardless of gender, and it reduces the harmful effects of life events concerning with job/financial area for both men and women. Also, spousal support reduces the magnitude of the harmful effects of life events concerning with health of men. This study focused on the impact of negative life events and the couple process. It was possible to explore the strength of social support provided from spouse of most importance to the individuals. These results affirm the importance of supportive relationships between couples as a buffer, mitigating harmful effects of negative life events on mental health.

The present study explored a factor, social support, that could mediate the relationship between negative life events and behavioral problems during adolescence. It was hypothesized that social support from parents, peers, and teachers would be an effective mediator between negative life events and delinquent behavior. Data were collected from 161 of the 9th graders in a high school in a coastal community of Oregon. A series of path analyses using regression techniques was used to examine the research hypotheses. Results indicated that social support mediated the relationship between negative life events and delinquent behavior, implying the importance of social support from family, peers, and school in preventing delinquent behavior among adolescents. That is, negative life events were found to exert influence indirectly upon delinquent behavior through its direct effect on social support. Results were discussed in relation to the effects of negative life events on social support and delinquent behavior.

The purpose of this study was to examine the comparative between depression and stress related to life events among women in the menopausal stage. Menopausal stages were divided into two groups: Pre and post-menopausal stages. The degree of depression and stress related to life events between pre and post menopausal women were compared to each other. Women, aged between 41 and 59 years, answered self-reported questionnaires which included Zung's depression scale and life events scale modified by Lee (1984). Findings were as follows; 1) The mean score of premenopausal women who experienced depression was 39.66, and for post-menopausal women the score was 41.45. There was no significant differences in depression levels between pre and post menopausal group.s (t=-1.55, p=.122). 2) Menopausal women experienced low levels of stress related to life events. There were no significant differences between pre and post menopausal groups(t=.527, p>.05). Both pre and post menopausal groups were highly concerned about education issues of their children and disharmony between couples. 3) There was a significant relationship between depression and stress related to life events among post-menopausal groups (r=.22, p<.01). Based on the findings of this study, the menopausal depression was associated with stress related to life events, especially among post-menopausal women. Feelings of lost fertility and feminine attributies result in menopausal depression, which is significantly correlated with women's negative perception of their life events. Therefore, nursing intervention needs to develop to help reduce the levels of depression and overcome their negative perception of the menopausal experience. Nurses should develop nursing strategies to help menopausal women to have positive perceptions and enhance quality of life by assisting their adaptability to physiological and psychological changes related to menopause.

본 연구는 한국문화에서 상식적 귀인이자 자기신세조망양식으로서의 팔자에 관한 경험적 연구로, 기존의 탈맥락적이고 탈사회적인 규범적 귀인이 가지는 한계를 극복하기 위해 문화심리학적 관점에서 팔자의 의미를 밝히고자 했다. 한국문화에서는 기구한 인생이나 삶을 산 사람들, 특히 한(恨) 많은 사람들이 자신의 인생을 회고하고 그러한 인생을 살게 된 자신의 신세를 제 3 자적 관점에서 조망해 볼 때 팔자귀인을 한다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 일반인들의 팔자타령하는 상황, 이유와 심리적 기능, 통제신념과의 관계를 알아보기 위해 질적인 연구와 양적인 연구를 병행하여 실시하였다. 연구 1에서는 성인들을 대상으로 팔자타령을 언제 하는지, 왜 하는지등을 알아보기 위해 면접을 실시하였고, 대학생들을 대상으로 개방형 설문지를 사용하여 팔자타령을 듣거나 경험하였던 상황과 이유에 대해 분석하였다. 연구 2에서는 팔자귀인과 통제신념과의 관계를 분석하였다. 연구 1의 분석결과, 팔자타령은 기구하거나 한 많은 삶을 살았을 때 그리고 운이 없을 때 마음을 달래기 위해 하는 것으로 나타났다. 연구 2에서는 외적 통제신념이 높은 사람들일이 기구한 운명적 삶이나 사건에 대해 팔자귀인을 많이 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 한국인의 팔자타령은 심리적 위안을 얻기 위해 부정적 사건이나 삶에 대한 신세한탄이라는 정서적 반응과 인과 추론이 복합적으로 연결된 신세조망양식이라 할 수 있다.

본 연구는 주관적 안녕감이 긍정적인 사건을 인식하는 비율과 나아가 기억을 재구성하는 인지적 과정에 있어서 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해 시행되었다. 199명의 학부생들이 일상적으로 일어날법한 긍정적인 사건과 부정적인 사건 40개를 기술한 문장들을 본 후 이에 대한 회상 과제와 재인 과제를 수행하였다. 먼저 사건을 기술한 문장을 본 후 긍정적인 사건과 부정적인 사건에 대한 비율을 응답하게 한 결과, 삶에 대한 만족도가 높은 참가자들이 긍정적인 문장의 비율이 월등히 높은 조건에서 긍정적인 사건의 비율을 실제보다 더 높게 보고하였으며, 또한 긍정적인 비율이 높은 조건에서 주관적 안녕감이 높은 참가자들은 긍정적인 문장을 더 많이 회상했다. 참가자들이 처음 보고한 긍정적인 사건의 비율과 실제 회상한 기억들 중 긍정적인 사건의 비율은 정적인 상관을 가졌다. 그러나 예상과는 달리 재인 과제에서는 참가자들은 주관적 안녕감 수준에 따라 유의미하게 차이나는 오류를 보이지 않았다. 마지막으로 이 연구의 이론적 함의와 후속 연구를 위한 제언이 논의되었다.
