The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of preservice teachers toward children from single parent families. 218 preservice teachers (209 female and 9 male) who were enrolled in the department of early childhood education and child care & education were participated in this study. A questionnaire was developed based on the questionnaire developed by Song, Sung, & Han (2003). Data were analyzed by using SPSS 11.5. The results were followed. First, preservice teachers' personal experiences of single parent families did not influence their perception of children from single-parent family. Second, preservice teachers who strongly held the view of keeping traditional family structure showed negative expectations of children's school adjustment. Third, preservice teachers reported the importance to help the children adjustment at school as well as to deal with their personal and family problem. The results presented that there was an increasing need in teacher education, to develop curriculum for preservice teachers to have balanced views or reduce their biased perception against diverse family structure and children from single parent families.

DA-125, a new anthracycline antitumor antibiotic, was at dose levels of 0, 0.03, 0.1 and 0.3 mg/kg/day administered intravenously to Sprague-Dawley male rats from premating to mating period and to females from premating to early gestation period. Effects of test agent on general findings and reproductive performance of parent animals and embryonic development were examined. No treatment-related changes in clinical signs, body weight, food consumption and necropsy findings were observed in all groups of both sexes. At 0.3 mg/kg, a decrease in the weight of spleen was found only in male rats. Mating performance and fertility of parent animals were not adversely affected by all doses tested. Fl fetuses showed no changes related to treatment of DA-125, except that at 0.3 mg/kg, an increase in the resorption rate was seen. The results show that the no effect dose levels (NOELS) for general toxicity of parent animals and fetal development are 0.1 mg/kg/day and NOELS for reproductive capability are over 0.3 mg/kg/day.

A new composite antibiotic, SM-101(sulbactam.metampicillin), was at dose levels of 0, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg/day administered intravenously to Sprague-Dawley male rats from predating to mating period and to females from premating to early gestation period. Effects of test agent on general findings and reproductive performance of parent animals and embryonic development were examined. In male parents, two deaths occurred at 1000 mg/kg. The increase in kidney weight of the 1000 mg/kg group were also observed. The decrease in body weight and food consumption were found at 500 and 1000 mg/kg. The decrease in spleen weight were seen at 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg. In female parents, three deaths were found at 1000 mg/kg. Mating performance and fertility of parent animals were not adversely affected by all doses tested. F1 fetuses showed no changes related to treatment of SM-101. The results show that the no effect dose level(NOEL) for general toxicity of parent animals is under 250 mg/kg/day and NOELS for reproductive capability and fatal development are over 1000 mg/kg/day.

The purpose of this study examined the differences in work-family spillover process and domains in dual-earner couples with children, using a multidimensional measure of work-family spillover. The subjects of this study were 285 working couples with children. The research tool was questionnaires which consisted of general characteristics of the subjects and multidimensional measure of work-family spillover scale. For data analysis, factor analysis, Cronbach ${\alpha}$, t-test, and paired t-test were performed. Based on analysis of data using factor analysis, three-distinct work-family spillover process can be measured for both wife and husband, time interference, psychological distraction, and energy depletion and the multidimensional measure of work-family spillover is able to validly assess different domains of family life into which spillover occurs. The main results of this study were as following: First, there were significant differences in work-family spillover process according to sex. In work${\rightarrow}$family spillover, male more experienced negative time interference than female, on the other hand, in family${\rightarrow}$work spillover, female more experienced negative energy depletion than male. Second, there were significant differences in domains which work-family spillover occurs according to sex. Male more experienced negative work${\rightarrow}$family spillover than female in marital relations and parent-child relations domains while female more experienced negative family${\rightarrow}$work spillover than male in parent-child relations and home management domains. Third, there were significant differences between wife and husband in work-family spillover process. In work${\rightarrow}$family spillover, husband more experienced negative time interference than wife, on the other hand, in family${\rightarrow}$work spillover, wife more experienced negative energy depletion than husbands. Forth, there were significant differences between wife and husband in domains which work-family spillover occurs. Male more experienced negative work${\rightarrow}$family spillover than female in marital relations, parent-child relations, and leisure life domains. And while husband more experienced negative family${\rightarrow}$work spillover than wife in parent-child relations, wife more experienced negative family${\rightarrow}$work spillover than husband in home management domains.

The study starts from the critical thought on why most of female-headed single-parent families are under poverty regardless of their hard working. The study is to explore the lives of low-income single-parent families as working poor and to develop comprehensive policies for them out of poverty and other social vulnerability, using the concept of social exclusion which has been broadly introduced in the field of social science. Specifically, the study aims to analyse the process of social exclusion of low-income single-parent households, by comparing the differential lives in the economic, social, political aspects among male-headed dual-parent household, female-headed single-parent household, and poor female-headed lone-parent household who is under the public poverty line. The study was based on the secondary data analysis. A total of 3182 samples(the first 2508, the second 235, and the third 439) were included. Using SAS 6.12, frequency, chi-square, means, and ANOVA were utilized for the statistical analysis. Results show that single mothers, on the whole, are vulnerable population in terms of employment, housing stability and income. Also, low-income households of single mothers are more negatively affected by the IMF economic crisis and carry more pessimism on their future. In comparison with male-headed households, single mothers have fewer support from social insurance as well as family resources and higher burdens of additional caring need for the old, the disabled, and the chronically ill. These findings identify the reality in which female-headed households with dependent children are exposed to the overall social vulnerability and thus are easily trapped into the social disadvantaged. finally, the study suggests the development of comprehensive policies and counter-measurements for low-income female-headed families to be the primary member in our society.

The present investigation reports a phenomenon hitherto unknown in tropical sericulture, wherein dia-pause nature of bivoltine eggs is overcome through a cross with a non-diapausing race of silkworm, Bombyx mori, L. Eggs of bivoltine silkworm Bombyx mori, L. generally do not hatch under tropical conditions. To prevent diapause, they are subjected to acid treatment or low temperature hibernation scheduled. A race developed at KSSRDI is found to prevent the diapause nature of bivoltine eggs when crossed as male parent, without any acid treatment or hibernation schedule. This phenomenon is reported for the first time, being unique, opens up interesting area of research in silkworm genetics of commercial implications in the industry.

This study compared male and female university students' perceptions of parenthood and their need for pre-parental educational program. Responses of 579 university students in 5 universities were collected using a questionnaire developed by the researchers. Data were analyzed using a T-test and Pearson's chi squared test. Results showed that (1) systematic and pre-parental education may increase opportunities for university students to prepare parent and child rearing skills. (2) Any pre-parent educational program developed should cover practical and such as communication skills, child-rearing techniques and ways of disciplining children. In this way an educational program could provide university students suitable guidance and give them a positive and proper attitude toward parenting should they become parents in the future.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between familism and consciousness for supporting parents. To achieve this purpose, this study examined the effects of familism on consciousness for supporting parents of the undergraduates, analyzed the differences of it. For this, the subjects were 711 undergraduates living in Kwangju. Statistical analysis used were one-way ANOVA, Duncan-test, Pearson correlation analysis, and simple regression. Results were as follows. 1) The male undergraduates’familism level was higher than that of females. But there was no significant difference in their consciousness for supporting parents related to sex. 2) The familism showed signigicant differences by grade, major, and household income. Parent supporting consciousness of the subjects showed significant differences by age, grade, and major. 3) The differences between familism and parents supporting consciousness were significant. The higher the undergraduates’familism was, the higher the undergraduates’consciousness for supporting parent was. In particular, for male, familism was shown to be the most important factor predicting their consciousness for supporting parents.

The present study was designed to answer the following questions: 1) Is there and relationship between the adolescent's sex role identity and perceived parent behavious? 2) Is there any gender differences in perceived parent behavious? 3) Is there any interaction effect between sex role identity and gender in perceived parent behaviors? 109 male and 101 female undergraduates from the five universities in Seoul served as subjects in this investigation. Subjects were administered the Parent Behavior From (PBF) and the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) in counterbalanced order. A4 (sex-role identity)×2(gender) multivariate analysis of variance was performed for the perceived paternal and maternal behaviors separately. The simultaneous confidence intervals for pairwise comparison were followed when the MANOVA was significant. In testing all hypotheses, .05 was used as a significance level in this study. For the perceived paternal behavious, 1) The androgynous group, compared with the undifferentiated group, reported greater father warmth, active involvement, greater encouragement of cognitive independence, cognitive curiosity, cognitive competence, achievement control, and conformity. 2) The androgynous individuals showed higher father warmth, congitive independence, curiosity, and cognitive competence than the feminine individuals. 3) The androgynous individuals were found to have significantly higher father warmth than the masculine individuals. For the perceived maternal behaviors, there was a significant difference between gender groups in conformity. Daughters reported higher conformity than sons. The interaction effect between sex-role identity and gender, however, was not found to be significant.
