The purpose of this study is to examine adolescent future orientation in relation to education, work and career, and marriage and family. This study also explores the effects of adolescent future orientation in relation to their psychosocial characteristics: self-esteem, self-control, scholastic performance, and sexual permissiveness. Data were collected from 345 students in the second grade (male: 166, female: 179) of two middle schools in Seoul, Korea. Scale for adolescent future orientation was formulated based on literature review. The major findings of this study were as follows. Adolescents were found to be more future-oriented in the areas of work and career and in the area of marriage and family than in the area of education. Several hierarchical multiple regression analyses were also performed to examine the contribution of socio-demographic characteristics and future orientation to predictions of adolescent psychosocial characteristics. This study found that adolescent future orientation significantly predicted their self-esteem, self-control, and scholastic performance, while having no significant influence on sexual permissiveness.

The purpose of this descriptive study was to assess sexual orientation and Knowledge and attitudes with regards to AIDS in military personnel, and to provide basic data for developing a further sex education program for them. The data were collected in June 2002 on 242 service members of A Branch of the Ground Army located in Chung-Chung Do Region. They responded to a survey questionnaire that consisted of 68 items: 14 items on sexual orientation. 39 items on knowledge about AIDS, and 15 items on attitudes toward AIDS. The data were analyzed using SAS program. The study results are as follows: 1. Sexual orientation of the military personnel 1) In terms of sexual orientaion, harassment and assault, only $26.4\%$ of the subjects responded as, 'know well'. Appropriate awareness of the legal liability was reported by $21.6\%$ of the subjects regarding sexual harassment and $78.1\%$ of the subjects regarding sexual assault. 2) Pre-marital cohabitant was supported by $89.2\%$ of the subjects. 3) The Korean military personnel showed liberal attitudes toward sexuality as $46.4\%$ of them reported having sexual-relationship with the dating partner is acceptable. 4) The attitudes of the most subjects toward homosexuality was found to be unfavorable. 5) Subjects were m the need of appropriate sex education. of which substantial knowledge on sexual intercourse was the most needy area. 2. Knowledge and attitudes toward AIDS of the military personnel 1) The subjects' level of knowledge on AIDS was relatively low, showing the average score of $22.31\pm7.23$ points (range: 0-39 points). The higher level of knowledge was reported by those who had high level of education, father alive. and less number of brothers in their family. 2) The subjects' attitudes toward AIDS was relatively positive. The attitude toward AIDS was also found to be more positive in those who had high level of education and less number of brothers. 3) There was a positive but weak correlation between knowledge and attitude toward AIDS. The study finding showed that the sexual orientaion of the Korean military personnel was moderately positive and liberal. However, their awareness of sexual harassment and assault and AIDS was still found to be low. As Korean enlisted military service men are likely to be in the ages with strong sexual desire, it may be important for them to have appropriate sexual orientation and attitudes toward AIDS. Therefore, it is recommended to develop further practical and sound sex education programs within the military unit in order to meet their education needs as well as to utilize sex education specialists as the instructors of those programs.

Objectives: This study investigated the impact of socioeconomic factors and sexual orientation-related attributes on the rates of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination and infection among men who have sex with men (MSM). Methods: A web-based survey, supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea, was conducted among paying members of the leading online portal for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer and questioning (LGBTQ+) community in Korea. The study participants were MSM living in Korea (n=942). COVID-19 vaccination and infection were considered dependent variables, while sexual orientation-related characteristics and adherence to non-pharmacological intervention (NPI) practices served as primary independent variables. To ensure analytical precision, nested logistic regression analyses were employed. These were further refined by dividing respondents into 4 categories based on sexual orientation and disclosure (or "coming-out") status. Results: Among MSM, no definitive association was found between COVID-19 vaccination status and factors such as socioeconomic or sexual orientation-related attributes (with the latter including human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] status, sexual orientation, and disclosure experience). However, key determinants influencing COVID-19 infection were identified. Notably, people living with HIV (PLWH) exhibited a statistically significant predisposition towards COVID-19 infection. Furthermore, greater adherence to NPI practices among MSM corresponded to a lower likelihood of COVID-19 infection. Conclusions: This study underscores the high susceptibility to COVID-19 among PLWH within the LGBTQ+ community relative to their healthy MSM counterparts. Consequently, it is crucial to advocate for tailored preventive strategies, including robust NPIs, to protect these at-risk groups. Such measures are essential in reducing the disparities that may emerge in a post-COVID-19 environment.

LGBT movements have been actively taking place since the late 20th century, 24 countries around the world have fully embraced same-sex marriage as a form of marriage, and implemented it into law. Therefore in this paper, arguments and discussion on prohibition of discrimination due to homosexuality are examined and reviewed under the Constitution of Korea, by looking at the discussion on homosexuality (sexual orientation), which is currently in progress in Korea. However, First, national consensus is deemed absolutely necessary to add a new prohibition ground. Second, specifying the grounds for prohibiting discrimination should take into account historical background and demands of the "oughtness." Third, it should be noted that the grounds for prohibiting discrimination specified in the Constitution are not subject to moral judgment. Fourth, in the case where homosexuality and/or sexual orientation are specified as grounds for prohibiting discrimination, the problems that may occur must be considered. the "National Human Rights Commission Act of Korea" Article 2, Subparagraph 1 defines the concept of "human right(s)," and also in Subparagraph 3, "sexual orientation" is enumerated as an example of "discriminatory act." Therefore, "National Human Rights Commission Act of Korea" Article 2, Paragraph 3 must be deleted.

The study aimed to analyze jay-customer behavior's impact on service industry employees' job stress to understand the importance of personnel management. Additionally, it aimed to identify strategies for managing job stress by examining perceived organizational support's moderating effects. The results show that the subdimensions of jay-customer behavior (i.e., verbal aggression, physical aggression, and sexual harassment) positively influenced employees' job stress. Second, job stress acts as a mediator between customer verbal and physical aggression and customer orientation, but not between customer sexual harassment and customer orientation. Third, organizational support had a moderating effect on the association between customer verbal aggression and job stress. This study demonstrates how jay-customer behavior negatively affects employees and threatens their well-being. It not only enriches the research on jay-customer behavior but also provides implications for service companies toward developing internal marketing strategies for enhancing employee happiness and fostering customer orientation.

본 연구는 예비유아교사의 동성애에 대한 이미지 유형과 그 특성을 Q-방법으로 분석하였다. 이를 위해 3, 4학년의 예비유아교사 180명을 대상으로 동성애에 대한 브레인스토밍을 실시하여 Q-모집단을 마련하였다. 그 중 40개의 진술문을 추출하여 Q-표본을 만들고, 45명의 예비유아교사들에게 진술문의 동의수준을 9단계로 분류하도록 하여, 그 결과를 QUANL 프로그램으로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 예비유아교사의 동성애에 대한 인식유형은 4가지로 분류되었으며, 각 유형 '존중형-동성을 사랑하는 보통 사람', '인정형-시선이 집중되는 독특한 사람', '관계부정형-나와 다른 자아를 타고난 사랑', '극단적 부정형-존중받지 못하는 혐오스런 사람'로 명명되었다. 본 연구를 통해 동성애에 대한 예비유아교사의 인식과 그 특성을 구체적으로 파악하여 동성애에 대한 인식론적 지배담론이 예비유아교사들의 신념에서 어떻게 투영되고 있는지를 살펴보고 이를 토대로 유아 다문화교육에서 침묵된(silenced)부분인 성에 대한 교육-실천적 시사점을 얻고자 하였다. 동성애에 대한 교육자의 시각을 점검해보고 한국사회의 동성애에 대한 문화적 이해수준을 파악하는 것은 향후 유아교육에서의 다문화 교육방향을 정립하는데 도움이 될 것으로 생각한다.

본 연구는 유아를 대상으로 하는 젠더감수성 교육에 대한 보육교직원의 태도를 질적방법으로 탐색하였다. 이를 위해, 수도권 어린이집에 근무하는 보육교사와 원장을 연구참여자로 선정하고, 총 227명을 모집하였다. 자료수집은 시각방법론에 근거하여 젠더감수성 교육과 관련된 그림책을 이용한 프로토콜서술로 실시되었다. 수집된 자료의 분석은 중심주제 분석에 따라 이루어졌다. 젠더감수성 교육은 성역할 유연성과 성지향 개방성에 대한 내용으로 나눌 수 있다. 연구결과에 따르면, 연구참여자 대부분이 성역할 유연성 교육에 대해서는 긍정적 태도를 나타냈다. 연구참여자들은 성역할 유연성이란 주제가 이미 사회적으로 포용되었고, 유아의 발달에 적합하며, 보육현장에서 실행하기에 용이하다고 인식하였다. 교육의 효과도 아동의 개별성 존중에 긍정적일 것으로 기대하였다. 한편, 성지향 개방성 교육에 대해서는 연구참여자의 53.3%가 부정적 태도를 보였다. 성지향 개방성에 대한 쟁점이 아직 사회적으로 합의되지 않았고, 발달적으로 유아보다는 청소년기 이상의 연령에 적합하며, 실제로 보육현장에 적용하기에는 관련 정보가 부족하다는 점이 지적되었다. 하지만, 연구참여자들의 40.5%가 향후 성지향 개방성에 대한 사회적 포용이 이루어질 것으로 예상하며, 보육현장에 적합한 교재와 교수방법이 개발되면 결국 유아를 대상으로 하는 성지향 개방성 교육이 이루어질 것이라는 긍정적 태도를 보였다. 본 연구는 한국 사회의 쟁점으로 부각된 젠더감수성 교육에 대한 이론적 고찰과 함께 유아를 대상으로 하는 젠더감수성 교육에 대한 보육교직원들의 태도를 비판적으로 검토하여 향후 유아 젠더감수성 교육의 실천적 담론화에 이바지할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
