With the increase of single-parent families in the Korean society, the perception of the function and structure of the family is changing. Thus, a public transition toward embracing single-parent families as another form of family is necessary. This study focuses on the families of divorced female single-parents using Walsh's family resilience framework with a strengths-based perspective. It aims to provide the basic data necessary for deducing policy-related and practical ways of supporting the families and for developing programs that help divorced female single-parent families maintain and reinforce resilience. Qualitative analysis was used as the research method. A preceding literature review was also carried out to collect data. The major findings of this study include the following: First, it was found that the average age of divorce is around 30-40, with children of school age. The mothers' level of education was relatively high, ranging from high school graduates to graduate school students. On Rothwell and Cohen's happiness scale, their objective level of happiness was higher (74.1) than that of the average Korean (64). Second, it was found they were very careful to avoid violence in everyday life as an after-effect of domestic violence, which was the major cause of their divorce. Third, their positive and optimistic attitudes about life even in adversity can be interpreted as Walsh's belief systems taking a more important role among other characteristics of family resilience.

본 연구는 아동의 성장과정에 있어 매우 중요한 환경인 학교현장에서 교사들이 한부모가족 아동들에 대해 갖고 있는 인식과 태도를 알아보고, 이에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 분석해 봄으로써 한부모가족 아동들이 보다 당당하게 학교생활을 할 수 있게 하는 방안을 모색하기 위한 기초 자료를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 2002학년 여름방학동안 서울, 경기도, 전라도, 경상도 등 전국에서 이루어지는 교사 연수회에 참석한 초등학교 교사를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 교사의 지위나 연령, 지역(대도시, 중소도시, 도시외 지역) 등을 고려하여 유의표집(purposive sampling)한 결과 총 776부가 회수되었으며, 이를 SAS 6.12로 빈도분석, 평균, 교차분석(Chi-Square), t-test, 일원분산분석(oneway-ANOVA), 중다회귀분석(Multiple Regression)하였다. 연구결과, 대부분의 교사들은 한부모가족 아동이 증가하고 있다는 것을 교육현장에서 느끼고 있었으나, 아동의 심리상황에 대해서는 잘못 이해하고 있는 부분이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 교사의 한부모가족 아동에 대한 부정적인 인식에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 교사의 사회인구학적 특성, 경험적 요인, 아동의 학교생활 수행정도 뿐만 아니라 교사 자신의 한부모가족에 대한 정형화된 인식, 가족주의 및 이혼에 대한 가치관 등이 작용하는 것으로 나타났다. 교사들의 의식이나 태도는 성장기 아동들의 자신감과 자존감 형성에 상당히 커다란 영향을 줄 것으로 예상되는 바, 이에 대한 대책이 사회적 의식 전환, 교육체계 및 환경의 변화, 교사 교육프로그램 개발, 학교사회사업 및 상담교사 배치, 한부모가족의 임파워먼트 등에서 제시되었다.

The effect of betatizing temperature on microstructure and transformation characteristics in a Cu-AI-Ni based pseudoelastic alloy fabricated by heated mold continuous casting by using metallography, XRD and calorimetry. The microstructure of cast rod betatized at $600^{\circ}C$ revealed a ${\beta}_1$ parent phase and a ${\gamma}_2$ phase precipitated along the casting direction. When the cast rod was betatized at the elevated temperature above $600^{\circ}C$, the ${\gamma}_2$ phase is completely dissolved into the matrix so that the volume fraction of the ${\gamma}_2$ phase was decreased. The parent phase was stabilized by betatizing at $600^{\circ}C$. However, the ${\beta}_1$ parent phase was transformed to both ${{\beta}_1}^{\prime}$ and ${{\gamma}_1}^{\prime}$ martensites with increasing betatizing temperatures above $600^{\circ}C$, while $M_s$ and $A_s$ temperatures were decreased. The stress-strain curves for compression test were not same with betatizing temperature; the stress-strain curves of the specimen betatized at $600^{\circ}C$ and $700^{\circ}C$ were linear but those of the specimen betatized at $800^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$ were not linear.

This study is to examine the relationship between their parent-child communication and their reactive characteristics to the PSCD(Parent-Self-Centered-Drawing) test of the Female high-School Students. The study subjects are 209 Female high-School Students, and research tools are PSCD test and a measure of parent-child communication. The data were analyzed with a paired t-test, one-way ANOVA and Scheffe's post-hoc test. Results are as follows. First, they perceived positively communication toward mother more than communication toward father. Second, as for communication toward father according to the subjects' reaction to the father figure, female students show difference in ommission of facial parts, ommission of body parts, balance of body parts, facial expression and positive and negative symbols. Third, as for communication toward mother according to the subjects' reaction to the mother figure, female students show difference in ommission of facial parts, ommission of body parts, balance of body parts, facial expression and negative symbols. Forth, according to the female students' reaction to the self figure, they show different levels of communication toward father and self in regard of facial expression and distance between the figures. On the other hand, they show different levels of communication toward mother with respect to ommission of facial parts, ommission of body parts, balance of body parts, facial expression and distance between the figures. The authors conclude that the PSCD is a useful tool for measuring the level of parent-child communication.

This study investigated the differences between adolescents' own perceptions of their psychopathology and perceptions by clinically depressed parents of their adolescents' psychopathology. The study also examined parental characteristics that accounted for discrepancies between parents and adolescents. The clinical sample consisted of 61 adolescents and their parents who were diagnosed with a major depressive disorder. The adolescents and parents evaluated the adolescents' psychopathology in separate interviews with the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and the Youth Self-Report (YSR). Parents reported on current depressive symptoms and parenting practices using questionnaires. The results revealed that parent-adolescent discrepancies were greater in regard to affective and anxiety problems compared to oppositional defiant and conduct problems. Parental rejection was associated with differences in scores for affective problems after controlling for parents' current depressive symptoms and adolescents' age and gender. The findings highlight the importance of considering adolescents' affective and anxiety problems when treating depressed parents. Furthermore, the findings suggest that parental rejection may play a pivotal role when interpreting the discrepancy concerning adolescents' affective problems.

본 연구는 저소득층 가정 부모의 심리적 행동적 특성을 살펴보고, 이러한 부모의 특성이 자녀의 문제행동에 미치는 영향을 양부모 가정과 한부모 가정을 비교하여 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 저소득 가정을 위한 드림스타트 프로그램에 참여한 부모 193명을 대상으로 조사를 실시, 자녀의 문제행동을 측정하였다. 그에 따른 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저 심리적 행동적 특성에 있어서는 양부모 가정 부모가 한부모 가정 부모보다 현재 양육 만족도와 양육의 즐거움, 식생활습관, 그리고 긍정양육행동이 높았고, 한부모 가정 부모는 양부모 가정 부모보다 양육스트레스가 높았다. 그러나 자녀의 문제행동에 있어서는 한부모 가정 자녀가 양부모 가정 자녀보다 높았으나 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 다음으로, 저소득층 양부모 자녀는 부모가 양육스트레스가 높을수록 문제행동이 높으며, 자녀관계 만족도가 높을수록 문제행동이 낮았다. 반면에 저소득층 가정 한부모 자녀는 부모가 식생활 습관과 일상생활 만족도가 높을수록 문제행동이 낮으며, 양육스트레스가 높을수록 문제행동이 높았다. 이러한 결과를 볼 때, 저소득층 자녀의 문제행동 감소와 부모의 양육행동의 강화를 위해서는 부모양육 및 교육 등의 프로그램의 개발과 함께, 부모형태에 따른 다각적인 지원이 이루어져야 할 것이다.
