Individuals have been under more stress since the COVID-19 pandemic began than they were before the pandemic. While social support is a known stress buffer among the general population, its impact on stress among vulnerable populations, such as immigrants and those living in rural areas, has received little attention in the context of South Korea. Accordingly, we examined the relationship between different types of social support and COVID-19 stress among young adult immigrants based on where they live (rural vs. urban). We conducted a survey of 300 young adult immigrants aged 25-34 years and analyzed the results. The dependent variable was COVID-19 stress, and the independent variables were four types of social support: emotional, appraisal, instrumental, and informational. We discovered that young adult immigrants in rural areas perceived higher-level social supportin all aspects compared with those in urban areas. Furthermore, social support was not related to COVID-19 stress in urban areas, while appraisal support was positively and informational support was negatively related to COVID-19 stress in rural areas. Our findings suggest that a contextualized understanding of social support is critical to understanding COVID-related stress during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This study examines the mediating effects of social support on 1) the relationships between acculturative stress and depression/anxiety and 2) the relationships between emotional control and depression/anxiety in children from multicultural families. Pearson's correlations between variables were analyzed, and hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to identify direct and indirect effects of acculturative stress, emotional control, and social support on children's depression/anxiety. The sample included a total of 199 primary school students in grades 3 to 6 who lived in the Gwangju or Chonnam regions of Korea. First, there were positive correlations between acculturative stress and depression/anxiety and negative correlations between emotional control and social support. Second, social support from both peers and teachers partially mediated the relationships between acculturative stress and depression/anxiety. Third, social support from peers fully mediated the relationships between emotional control and depression/anxiety, and that from teachers partially mediated these relationships. The results suggest that social support from peers and teachers may reduce depression/anxiety in multicultural children as a mediating variable.

본 연구는 자활사업 참여자들의 사회적 자본과 삶의 질의 관계를 살펴보고, 사회적 자본과 삶의 질의 관계에서 직무만족이 미치는 매개효과를 규명하고자 하는데 목적이 있다. 조사연구를 실시하기 위해 전국에 위치하고 있는 지역자활센터를 대상으로 센터의 유형과 지역유형을 구분한 후 비례할당 표집을 실시하였고, 1,185부를 최종 분석에서 사용하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자활사업 참여자의 사회적 자본과 삶의 질의 관계를 살펴보면, 네트워크와 규범이 삶의 질에 중요한 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 인간관계로부터 형성되는 비물질적인 사회적 자본이 삶의 질에 직접적 영향을 미친다는 선행연구 결과를 지지하는 것이다. 둘째, 자활사업 참여자의 사회적 자본과 직무만족의 관계를 살펴보면, 사회적 자본이 직무만족에 부적영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 참여자의 사회적 자본 수준이 높아질수록 자활사업에 대한 만족이 낮아진다는 것을 의미한다. 이는 자활사업 참여에 대한 부정적 인식으로 인하여 여타의 임금노동시장에서 긍정적으로 작용했던 사회적 자본이 그 효과를 발휘하지 못한다는 결과를 제시한다. 셋째, 자활사업 참여자의 사회적 자본과 삶의 질의 관계에서 직무만족의 매개효과는 정적 영향을 나타내고 있는데, 이는 직무만족과 삶의 질의 관계와 관련한 가설 중 전이모델(spillover model)을 지지하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 즉, 자신의 직무에 만족하는 사람은 일반적인 삶에서도 만족감을 느끼게 된다는 것이다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 자활사업 참여자들의 삶의 질을 향상시키기고, 사회적 자본의 순기능적인 측면을 보완하기 위한 실천적·정책적 함의를 제시하고 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the level of burden and social support of mothers with Cerebral Palsy (CP) children, and to determine whether providing social support is an effective strategy to relieve the burden of those mothers. Method: From October to November 2007, the data were collected from 63 mothers with CP children who were admitted and treated for CP at Y rehabilitation center in Seoul. The data were analyzed with t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, and Stepwise Multiple Regression using SPSS 12.0. Results: Burden of mothers was related to the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) of the CP children. Social support was negatively correlated and GMFCS was positively correlated with burden of mothers. Social support and GMFCS was statistically significantly related with burden of mothers with CP children by multiple regression analysis. Conclusion: There was a significantly negative correlation between social support and burden. It demonstrated that social support, an important factor relating to burden imposed on mothers of CP children, can be considered as an intervening variable which can contribute to decrease of burden. In addition, applying developmental screening measures are needed to decrease disability severity.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to investigate the relationships between job stress or social support and job satisfaction, and the function of social support, theoretically considered to mediate the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction. Methods: After obtaining informed consent from participants, data were collected from 122 taxi drivers. Gamma was used for testing of the first and second hypotheses. Partial Gamma was used to test the third hypothesis. Patterns of elaboration described by Babbie (1986) were selected for interpretation of the relationship among the three variable analyses. Results: First, a negative relationship was observed between job stress and job satisfaction (Gamma=-.543, p=.001) and a positive relationship was observed between social support and job satisfaction (Gamma=.741, p<.001). Second, when controlling for social support, the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction showed a decrease under conditions of both low and high social support. As for the mediating effect of social support, job stress was found to affect social support and social support was found to affect job satisfaction. Conclusion: The results showed that social support had a mediating effect between job stress and job satisfaction. Therefore, development and implementation of appropriate social support interventions is needed in order to reduce job stress and promote job satisfaction.

Self-efficacy has been extensively evaluated, but no studies have investigated the effect of self-efficacy on the self-reliance of women in poor-households economic productivity. This study analyzes self-efficacy as a personal factor, learning processes, and social support as an environmental factor towards the achievement of self-reliance in women from poor-households in productive economy businesses. Despite the dominant logic of this scheme, there is a need for field-based data regarding whether the variable really supports the sustainable empowerment of poor-households women. This study used the quantitative method through the survey technique. The samples of this study included 250 people collected from five regencies in Indonesia by using a multiple-stage random sampling. The data were analyzed with structural equation modeling. The results show that social support has a significant positive impact on the learning process; social support has a direct negative impact on self-efficacy. The learning process has a direct positive influence on self-efficacy, while social support has a non-significant impact on self-reliance. The learning process has a direct influence on self-reliance. Social support and the learning process both have significant positive impact on self-efficacy. Social support, learning process, and self-efficacy simultaneously have a positive impact on self-reliance in productive economic activities.
