Purpose: This study was a grounded theory research aimed at generating a substantive theory that accounts for the explanatory social processes in which immigrant Korean single-mother families were engaged in the United States. Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 15 immigrant Korean single mothers who were living with children under 18 years of age at the time of the interviews. Data collection guided by theoretical sampling and concurrent constant comparative analysis of the transcribed data was conducted to identify the core social process. Results: The emerged core social process was "living for the children," which represented the driving process by which these women made transition to their new lives as single-mother families. The major task throughout the entire transition was re-creating their families. The women's transition involved practical and psychological transitions. The practical transition involved three stages: assuring family survival, struggling between the father role and the mother role, and stabilizing. The psychological transition involved becoming strong and settling in with a new supportive network. Conclusion: Study results added to the literature by elaborating the women's emphasis on maternal identity and the resilience-provoking nature of the women's transitions.

This research studied the social-emotional competence of children whose primary caregiver was a single-mother or single-father alone compared with children living with a single-parent but the primary caregiver was a non-parent (e.g. a grandparent). Subjects were 208 children (105 boys, 103 girls) from 10 elementary schools in 3 metropolitan cities. Instruments were the Adaptive Behavior Checklist constructed by the researcher, Self-esteem Inventory (Kim, 1987) and Emotional Competence Scale (Kim, 1998). Results showed that children in single-mother families were more social-emotionally competent than children in single-father families. Children whose primary caregivers were non-parents had higher self-esteem than children whose primary caregivers were single parents alone. There were interaction effects of caregiver variables on children's peer relationships and awareness/expression of their own emotion.

The purpose of this study is to examine the intergenerational transmission of mother-daughter attachment across three generations, and to determine whether the mother-daughter attachment of three generations influences the adult daughter's ego-resilience. The subjects of this study were 310 unmarried adult women aged 20${\sim}$29, residing in the Busan area, and their 310 middle-aged mothers. The mothers responded to two sets of questionnaire investigating their attachment to their mothers (G1-G2) in the past and the present attachment to their adult daughters (G2-G3). Meanwhile, the adult daughters were given questionnaires regarding their attachment to their mothers and their ego-resiliency. The measurements used for this study were the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA) and the Ego-Resiliency Scale (ER). Among the distributed questionnaires, 265 sets were collected and 252 sets were actually analyzed using SPSS 12.0 after 13 sets had been excluded due to incomplete data. Basic statistics were used such as frequency analysis, Pearson's correlation and hierarchical regression analysis. The study results were as follows. First, the adult daughter-mother (G2-G3) attachment was explained mostly by mother-grandmother (G1-G2) attachment, daughter's age, and economic status of the family. The strongest factor was the mother-grandmother attachment which implies the transmission of attachment through generations. Second, among the factors that influenced the ego-resilience of an unmarried adult daughter, attachment to one's mother perceived by the daughter turned out to be the most significant. Especially, the more positive the adult daughter's emotion toward her mother and the higher the daughter's education, the stronger the ego-resilience of the adult single daughter was. It was concluded that the mother-daughter attachment remained consistent throughout three generations, which influenced the social-psychological adjustment of the adult unmarried daughter.

본 연구는 여성 한부모의 사회자본이 자녀유능감에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, 그 과정에서 부모효능감이 어떠한 역할을 하는지를 파악하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 즉, 여성 한부모의 사회자본이 자녀유능감에 직접적인 영향을 미치는지, 부모효능감을 매개로 간접적인 영향을 주는지에 대해 검증하였다. 구조방정식 모형을 통해 경로를 분석한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 여성 한부모의 사회자본은 부모효능감에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 여성 한부모의 사회자본은 부모효능감을 매개로 해서 자녀유능감에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 여성 한부모의 사회자본은 직접적으로는 자녀유능감에 영향을 미치지 않고 부모효능감을 통해서 간접적으로 자녀유능감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 여성 한부모의 사회자본이 자녀유능감에 미치는 영향에 있어서 부모효능감이 완전매개역할을 하는 것으로 입증되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 여성 한부모의 자녀유능감을 촉진시키기 위한 실천적 함의들이 논의 되었다.

본 연구는 <한국의료패널>을 활용하여 어머니의 특성 및 가구특성변수가 아동 청소년기 자녀의 치과이용과 어떠한 관련성을 갖고 있는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용한 분석결과, 모(母)의 교육수준은 미성년 자녀의 치과이용에 통계적으로 유의한 양(+)의 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 양친가정에 비해 한부모가정에서 양육되는 자녀들의 치과이용 가능성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 질환별 치과이용 여부를 살펴본 결과에서는 충치로 인한 치과이용 가능성은 모(母)의 교육수준이 높을수록 높게 나타났으며, 한부모가정 자녀들은 양친가정 자녀들에 비해 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 발치의 경우 모(母)의 특성이나 가구특성에 따른 치과이용 차이를 살필 수 없었는데 이는 유치에서 영구치로 넘어가는 과정에서 연령의 영향이 절대적으로 작용하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 마지막으로 교정의 경우 모(母)의 교육수준 및 가구소득이 치과이용에 통계적으로 유의한 양(+)의 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 아동 청소년의 구강건강증진을 위한 개선방안을 강구하는 데 아동의 성장단계 및 가구특성을 반영한 맞춤형 전략이 요구됨을 시사한다.
