Purpose: The Life Transition Scale (LTS) consists of 24 items that assess the life transition process of parents of autistic children. This study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of the LTS in parents of children with a wide spectrum of disabilities. Methods: Data were collected from 260 parents of children with disabilities through self-report questionnaires. Validity was examined using exploratory and confirmative factor analysis to determine the factor structures of the LTS; socio-demographic differences in LTS scores were examined using the t-test or ANOVA. Reliability was examined using Cronbach's α coefficient. Results: A four-factor structure was validated (χ²=640.0, p<.001, GFI=.81, RMSEA=.07, NNFI=.89, CFI=.89, PNFI=.74, Q [χ²/df]=2.60). The validity of the LTS was verified by exploratory factor analysis, with factor loading ranging from .30 to .80. There were significant differences in the accepting phase according to children's and parents' age and the type of disability, and in the wandering phase according to parental gender, educational level, job, and socioeconomic status. The Cronbach's αs for the reliability of each of the four structures were acceptable, within a range of .80~.90. Conclusion: The LTS is a valid and reliable measurement to assess the life transition process of parents with disabled children.

Purpose: While there are a number of studies on children with disabilities, there have been few studies on mothers of children with autism. The purpose of this study was to explore the process of life transition of mothers who have children with autism. Methods: From June 2007 to May 2009, the researcher interviewed 15 mothers of children with autism living in Seoul City, Gyeonggi or Chonbuk Provinces, and then analyzed the data gathered using the constant comparative method of grounded theory. Results: "Living together holding a string of fate" was a core category showing along the continuum of life. The basic social process of life transition encompassed 5 stages: stages of denying, wandering, devoting, mind controlling, and finally accepting. These five stages proceeded in phases, though returned back to the wandering stage occasionally. Conclusion: This study has opened the door to understanding how mothers of children with autism experienced life transition. The findings suggest that differentiated support and care at each stage should be given and there is the need to develop transition assessment tools for mothers of children with autism.

본 연구는 노년기 거주형태의 변화 궤적에 따른 삶의 만족도와의 관계를 종단데이터의 분석을 통해 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 국민노후보장패널 1-4차년도(2005-2011) 자료를 활용, 1-4차년도 조사당시 거주형태를 측정, 두 시점간 거주형태 변화 유형을 16개 유형으로 구분, 일반화추정방정식모형(Generalized Estimation Equation; GEE)을 적용해 삶의 만족도 차이를 분석하였다. 연구 결과 노년기 거주형태 변화는 삶의 만족도와 관련이 있었다. 전반적으로 마지막 조사시점에서 부부상태를 유지했던 집단의 삶의 만족도 수준이 높았다. 또한 노년기 자녀와의 동거여부는 삶의 만족도에 직접적으로 중요한 요인이 아닌 것으로 나타났다. 본 조사결과 자녀와의 동거는 부부가 함께 동거였을 경우에만 삶의 만족도 수준이 높았을 뿐 홀로 자녀와 동거하는 가구의 경우 독거를 지속한 가구보다도 오히려 삶의 만족도 수준이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 노년기 거주형태 변화의 궤적과 대표적 심리적 복지 개념인 삶의 만족도의 관계를 분석한 본 연구는 노년기 거주형태 변화 차이가 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향력을 종단자료 분석을 통해 실증적으로 제시했다는 점에서 의의를 찾을 수 있다.

Purpose: This study was done to identify differences in the life transition process of parents caring for children with autism according to parents' socio-demographic characteristics. Methods: Participants were 194 parents caring for children with autism. Data were collected from December 2013 to February 2014 through self-report questionnaires, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA with SPSS/WIN 20.0. Results: Mean scores for despairing or accepting phases were higher than those for denying or wandering phases in the life transition process. According to parents' gender, educational level, and job, there were some significant differences in the denying and wandering phases. Differences in denying phase by education (p=.033), job (p=.004) were significant. Respondents with higher educational level, and having a job showed a lower level of denying than other respondents. Wandering phase differed significantly by gender (p=.009) and job (p=.001). Mothers and those who did not have a job showed a higher level of wandering than fathers and those who had a job. However, there was no difference in the despairing or accepting phases. Conclusion: The life transition phase of parents with autistic children needs to be assessed to provide differentiated and intensive support program and help them move to the accepting phase.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and test a model to explain the transition state for Korean middle-aged women focusing on the transition concept. Method: A hypothetical model was constructed based on the transition model of Schumacher & Meleis(1994) and tested. Thehypothetical model consisted of 5 latent variables and 11 observed variables. Exogenous variables were demographic characteristics, obstetric characteristics, and health behavior. Endogenous variables were transition state and quality of life with 6 paths. The data from 221 middle-aged women selected by convenience was analyzed using covariance structure analysis. Result: The final model which was modified from the hypotheticalmodel improved to GFI=0.97, AGFI=0.94, NFI=0.94, and NNFI=0.95. The transition state was influenced directly by demographic characteristics, quality of life, and also indirectly by health behaviors. However, the influence of obstetric characteristics was not significant. The transition state was accountable for 68% of the variance by these factors. Conclusion: These results suggest that enhancing health behaviors of the women are necessary to increase quality of life and it consequently contributes toimproving the transition state. This model could be used to explain the health related vulnerability in these ages and to diagnosis individual women.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptional transition of housework from the ancient society to the modern society. In the ancient society, there was no difference in the meaning between domestic life and housework, it was thought that they were whole unity. In the medieval society, there was a beginning to differenciate the meaning between domestic life and housework, but there was no actual division between the one and the other. But in the modern society, it is thought that domestic life and housework is not only differenciated in concept, but also divided actually.

This study focuses on the beginning of transition to parenthood expectation and applies the exchange theory in order to examine reward and cost of transition to parenthood expectation and picks up the main cause effecting it. This study conducted structured questionnaires to total 330 first pregnant women and examined descriptive statistics and t-test F-test analysis by using collected data. And here are the result of research. First the transition to parenthood expectation expected rewards much more than costs and had much importance on individual aspects in parenthood. The more were they aged hardly educated and housewives the higher did they showed expectation of reward. The less did they have high education the more did they expect costs of the transition to parenthood expectation. Second to examined the reward/cost of transition to parenthood expectation according to martial satisfaction the more did they have martial satisfaction the more did they expectation of the rewa ds on transition to parenthood expectation. On the contrary the more did they respect from husbands the less did they cost of transition to parenthood expectation. This study would be helpful to lead family life having childbirth to the positive way be examining the process from childbirth plan to delivery. Also it will be applicable to seek for the methods to help would-be parents as basic data on material on education about transition to parenthood.

Previous research on the association between marriage and life satisfaction is limited due to the lack of attempts to investigate the time profiles of life satisfaction around marriage. This study addresses unresolved questions about the positive association between marriage and life satisfaction as well as tests if it is moderated by childhood parental divorce. Using 14 waves of the Korean Welfare Panel Study(N=3,890 individuals or 25,338 person-year observations), the author first used an ordinary least squares model with clustered standard errors and found that married people reported higher life satisfaction before marriage, compared to people who remained single during the survey. This result supports a social selection perspective. Next, the author used a fixed effects regression model and found that the transition into marriage was associated with an initial rise and subsequent decline in life satisfaction. Life satisfaction increased after reaching its lowest level in the third year of marriage. Life satisfaction after the transition into marriage was significantly higher than that observed three or more years prior to marriage. The result supports a social causation perspective. Such changing patterns were not moderated by parental divorce during childhood. This study advances the current literature on marriage and life satisfaction by using a nationally representative longitudinal data set as well as by testing social selection and causation perspectives.
