This study investigated the relationships between the husband's support, depression, parenting self-efficacy, and parenting behavior of Korean American mothers and their children's self-esteem. The participants were 113 Korean American child-mother dyads (grades 3-8) from Southern California, USA. The data, including the mothers' parenting behavior as assessed by their children, were collected from self-report questionnaires. A path analysis indicated that the effects of the above mentioned variables on the children's self-esteem depended on the subscale model of the parenting behavior. In every subscale model of parenting behavior, the husband's support was positively related to the parenting self-efficacy and the mother's depression was negatively related to the parenting self-efficacy. Further, in the warmth-acceptance model, the husband's support was positively related to the parenting behavior, the mother's depression was negatively related to the parenting behavior, parenting self-efficacy was positively related to both the parenting behavior and the children's self-esteem, and the parenting behavior was positively related to the children's self-esteem. In the rejection-restriction model, the husband's support was negatively related to the parenting behavior, the mother's depression was positively related to the parenting behavior, the parenting self-efficacy was negatively related to the parenting behavior and was positively related to the children's self-esteem, and the parenting behavior was negatively related to the children's self-esteem. In the permissiveness-nonintervention model, the parenting behavior was negatively related to the children's self-esteem. These results, particularly the dependence on the subscale model of parenting behavior, will be helpful in understanding the effects of parenting on Korean American children's self-esteem.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is an economically important disease of swine that occurs all over the swine industry worldwide. It was first observed in the Unite States in 1987 then in Europe in 1990. It has been described in Japan and in Korea in 1993. PRRS virus is divided into two distinct types, North American and European, genetically. Based on our limited knowledge there has been no report on the existence of European PRRSV. But according to the government's Korea Customs Service there has been many importations of breeding pigs from Europe. These seem to make an estimate that European PRRSV could be introduced in Korea by inflow of European breeding pigs. We first detected the European PRRSV could be introduced in Korean pig farms by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Further, it is also identified that there are not only North American PRRSV antibody but also a European PRRSV antibody. According to the genetical and serological experiment results, the presence of established North American PRRSV in Korea is due to the use of live vaccines made of North American PRRSV strain as well field virus infection, and the European PRRSV is possibly introduced from imported breeding stock.

This study used importance-performance analysis of different attributes of Bulgogi to investigate Americans' interest in this food. The results of this study will help determine the potential of expanding its consumption in the American foodservice market. Questionnaires were distributed to 200 diners in Korean restaurants located in New York, U.S.A. from July 13 to Oct 8, 2009. A total of 172 copies were returned and analyzed in this study. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 17.0. Of the total subjects, 74.4% were already familiar with Bulgogi and 69.2% had at least one experience trying it. Targeting the respondents who had eaten Bulgogi, preference and satisfaction toward the dish, as well as the intention to repurchase and recommend it to others, were examined, and scores were found to be very high at 4.53, 4.46, 4.26, and 4.47 points, respectively, on a 5-point scale. According to importance-performance analysis, the top five Bulgogi attributes in importance were taste, freshness, flavor, tenderness, and juiciness, and those for performance were freshness, flavor, taste, tenderness, and overall acceptability. However, sweetness and saltiness showed relatively lower performance and ease of purchase was noted as an attribute needing improvement. Therefore, American consumers' needs for Bulgogi should be met by enhancing its flavor, while maintaining the traditional taste, as well as by supplementing the channels providing Bulgogi.

본 연구는 인삼이나 서양삼이 상열감이나 코피 같은 전신증상에 미치는 영향을 임상적으로 비교 연구한 것이다. 복용군을 다섯 군(위약군, 한국 양평산 홍삼 6년근 복용군, 한국 금산산 백삼 6년근 복용군, 중국 요녕산 서양삼 4년근, 미국 뉴욕산 서양삼 6년근 복용군)으로 나누어 이중 맹검 임상시험을 하였다. 한국인과 중국인을 대상으로 인삼과 서양삼 복용 후 전신증상에 미치는 영향을 비교한 결과 부작용은 한국인에서 유의하게 나타난 것은 없었으나 중국인에서 구순건조가 위약군에서, 가슴 답답함(흉민)이 위약군과 4년근 서양삼군에서 유의하게 많았다. 개선효과는 한국인에서 유의하게 나타난 것은 없었으나 중국인에서 가슴 답답함(흉민)이 4년근 서양삼군과 6년근 서양삼군에서 유의하게 개선되었다 본 연구 결과는 현재 인삼과 서양삼에 대한 인식이 아마도 한의학에서 본 초학의 기미의 개념을 상업적인 의도를 가지고 왜곡시킨 것임을 시사한다고 하겠다.

In this study, I examined the psychological visual effect and clothes preference by clothes designs for the mid-aged Korean and American women's somatotypes. The psychological visual effects of each somatotypes' clothes are like these. First, the primary factors for psychological visual effect were analyzed into 5, neat, feminine, polished, modern and active. Second, in thin somatotype, Korean evaluated that china collar and V-neckline are the least feminine, and stand collar is the most polished and the modernest. American evaluated that V-neckline is the most feminine, and tailored collar is the modernest. It shows that there's the difference of culture. In standard somatotype, Korean thought stand collar with pants is the neatest, but tailored collar and china collar with pants are not neat. Contrary, they thought tailored collar with skirt is the neatest and stand collar with skirt is not neat. American thought tailored collar with skirt is the neatest and modernest. The neat visual effects are evaluated differently according to the clothes' styles of bottom. In obesity, Korean evaluated that tailored collar with skirt is the neatest and modernest, but stand collar with skirt is not modern. Stand collar with pants is the modernest, but tailored collar with pants is the least modern and active. American evaluated that round neckline with pants is not neat, modern and active, and round neckline with skirt is the modernest and the most active. So neckline's visual effects are differently showed by culture and the clothes' styles of bottom.

This study explores the identity-formation of adult Korean-American intentional adoptees who studied Korean in a Korean language center in New York from 2005 to 2007. Based on participant observation in the classroom, observations of student conversations in their gatherings, and discourse analysis of conversations related to why they were studying Korean, I found that adoptees felt that their lack of knowledge of Korean had caused them to fall short of expectations of ethnic Koreans. Stereotyped as Korean (or Asian) based on their looks, they were often assumed to possess knowledge of and skills associated with Korean culture, which they of course lacked. They were motivated to study Korean (and acquaint themselves with Korean culture) in order to meet these expectations.

본 연구는 한국과 미국의 일반학교에서 실행한 다층지원체계 중심의 긍정적 행동지원(PBS)에 관한 실험연구 논문들을 비교분석하여 한국형 학교차원 PBS 모형 및 매뉴얼 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고, 향후 한국에서의 PBS 실행에 관한 연구 방향의 제시 및 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 한국과 미국의 학술 검색엔진을 통해 2005년부터 2018년까지의 PBS 실행 논문 중, 보편적 1차 지원, 또는 1차 지원을 실행하면서 2차 혹은 3차 지원을 실행한 한국의 연구 논문 11편과 미국의 연구 논문 24편을 분석대상으로 하여 일반적 연구특성(대상, 설계, 기간, 종속 변인 등)과 PBS의 주요특성 및 결과(대상자 선별과정, 중재 과정과 내용, 사회적 타당도 등)를 지원 차원 별로 구분하여 비교하였다. 분석 결과, 한국과 미국의 모든 연구에서 PBS는 지원 차원을 막론하고 학생 행동과 기타 영역에서 긍정적 성과가 있음을 보고하고 있었다. 1차 지원의 경우 한국은 학교 또는 학급의 교육환경 수정과 사회적 기술교수에 초점을 둔 반면, 미국은 이 외에도 표준화된 중재 프로그램에 관한 교사훈련과 체계적인 교사지원에 초점을 둔 것으로 나타났다. 2차 지원의 경우 미국은 한국에 비해 학교차원의 PBS 내에서 1차 지원과 함께 실행하고 있는 학교가 많았고, 주로 Check/In Check/Out(CICO)를 중재방법으로 사용하고 있었다. 또한 대상 선별방법에서 보다 체계적인 선별도구나 절차를 사용하였고, 부모가 적극적으로 참여하여 가정에서도 중재가 이루어지도록 하는 차이를 보였다. 3차 지원의 경우, 미국은 종합적 행동기능평가 결과를 중심으로 중재계획을 수립한 점과 선별방식이 체계화되었다는 점이 한국과 차이가 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 한국에서의 다층지원체계 중심의 학교차원 PBS 실행을 위한 각 차원별 PBS 실행충실도와 사회적 타당도 및 맥락적 적합성(contextual fit)에 대한 타당화된 측정도구 개발의 필요성 등 시사점을 도출하였으며, 본 연구의 의의와 제한점, 향후 연구방향에 대해 논의하였다.

The purpose of this study is to see how Korean American people use and negotiate appearance in the US. 22 Korean American women at the age of 20s to 50s were interviewed and the verbatim texts from the interviews were interpreted. Discourses on appearance style followed by consumer stories such as American vs. Korean culture, gender, class, generation as well as personal background were recorded. The results of this study revealed that Korean Americans had diverse interpretations about their appearance and styling to fit the condition of their everyday lives. Korean immigrants did not simply assimilate dominant culture over time but maintained transcultural identities depending on contexts. This study showed that researches dealing with cultural variables could have more insights about personal experiences and social meaning processes through interpretative approach.
