본 연구는 장애인에 의해 지각된 차별을 개념화하고, 이에 근거하여 현행 한국의 장애인 차별금지법의 차별 개념을 평가하며, 주관적으로 지각된 장애차별의 법적 판단 가능성에 대해 논의한다. 포괄적 개념으로, 장애인이 낙인, 장애 억압, 편견, 고정관념 등에 근거하여 어떤 차별이든지 감지한다면, 이는 지각된 차별이다. 현행 한국의 장애인차별금지법에 있는 차별범주는 비교적 좁은 것으로 평가되었다. 특히 간접차별은 사회규범이나 가치관 제도에 대하여 장애인의 권리를 구제하고 시정조치 할 수 있는 개념임에도 사문항으로 남을 수 있는 현실에 처해있다. 사회적 장애에 대한 시선이나 호의적 차별 등은 현재의 장애인차별금지법의 차별범주에 포함되지 않으며, 장애인 가족이 경험하는 차별 또한 법의 그물망 밖에 있다. 지각된 장애 차별의 관점에서 현행 장애인에 대한 차별범주를 장애에 대한 차별로 넓히고, 간접차별의 개념을 폭넓게 적용하여 사회 규범이나 제도, 가치관 등을 연구하고 검토해야 할 것이다. 지각된 차별을 법적으로 판단하기 위해서는 합리적 장애인의 개념을 도입할 필요가 있다. 전 사회적으로 합의된 장애 억압적 이데올로기를 직시하고 사회를 재구조화하기 위한 노력을 계속 해야 할 것이다. 특히 사법관들에 대한 장애인권 교육이 필요하다.

Background: Little attention has been paid to the relationship between perceived discrimination and self-rated health (SRH) among foreign workers in Korea. Transnational ties with the home country are known to be critical among immigrants, as they allow the maintenance of social networks and support. Nonetheless, as far as we know, no studies have examined the impact of transnational ties on SRH itself and the relationship between perceived discrimination and SRH, which the current study tries to examine. Methods: Logistic regression analyses were conducted using the 2013 Survey on Living Conditions of Foreign Workers in Korea. Adult foreign workers from different Asian countries (n = 1,370) participated in this study. The dependent variable was good SRH and the independent variable was perceived discrimination. Transnational ties with the home country, as a moderating variable, was categorized into broad (i.e., contacting family members in the home country) vs. narrow types (i.e., visiting the home country). Results: Foreign workers who perceived discrimination had a lower rate of good SRH than those who did not perceive discrimination. Broad social transnational ties moderated the relationship between perceived discrimination and SRH; narrow social transnational ties did not. Conclusions: In line with previous studies, an association was found between perceived discrimination and SRH. Broad social transnational ties can be a good source of social support and buffer against the distress of perceived discrimination.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship of the school organizational climate with perceived discrimination and the workplace violence among school health teachers. Methods: The research design was a cross-sectional study. The subjects of the study were 350 school health teachers with more than one year of teaching experience. Data were collected online using a questionnaire. Research variables are general characteristics, organizational climate, perceived discrimination, and workplace violence. The relationship between organizational climate and perceived discrimination and the relationship between organizational climate and workplace violence were analyzed using regression analysis. Results: The score for organizational climate of health teachers was 3.10 out of 5 points, the score for perceived discrimination was 2.85 out of 5 points, and the experience rate of workplace violence was 16.9%. School organizational climate was related to both workplace violence and perceived discrimination. The subcomponents of organizational climate affecting perceived discrimination of health teachers were interrelationship and the level of compensation. The subcomponents of organizational climate affecting workplace violence of health teachers were interrelationship and autonomy. Conclusion: The improvement of the school's organizational climate can reduce the level of workplace violence and discrimination against health teachers. It is important to establish an appropriate evaluation system for health teachers and to recognize the role and expertise of health teachers. In addition, it is necessary for school administraters to actively support health teahcers and to create an organizational climate where they can be friendly and communicative.

본 연구의 목적은 캐나다 소재 대학교에 재학 중인 한국인 대학생을 대상으로 지각된 차별감과 우울의 관계에서 대처양식, 문화 정체성, 이중문화 자기효능감의 조절효과를 검증하는 것이다. 이를 위해 재캐나다 한국인 대학생 214명의 설문지 자료를 사용하여 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 재캐나다 한국인 대학생들이 지각하는 차별감은 그들의 우울수준을 유의미하게 증가시켰다. 둘째, 대처양식의 세 유형인 사려형 대처, 억제형 대처, 반동형 대처 모두 지각된 차별감과 우울의 관계에서 유의미한 조절효과를 나타내지 않았다. 셋째, 지각된 차별감, 억제형 대처, 모국문화 정체성의 삼원 상호작용은 우울에 유의미한 영향을 미쳤다. 즉 모국문화 정체성이 낮은 경우 지각된 차별감의 수준이 높을 때, 억제형 대처를 많이 사용하면 우울의 수준도 상응해서 증가하나, 억제형 대처를 적게 사용하면 우울수준이 대폭 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 지각된 차별감과 사려형, 억제형, 반동형 대처의 각 유형과 이중문화 자기효능감의 우울에 미치는 삼원 상호작용 효과는 유의미하지 않았다. 논의에서 연구결과에 대한 이론적 논의와 제한점 및 제언을 진술하였다.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to examine the association between perceived racial discrimination and substance use and the potential moderating effect of perceived parental affection between the two variables. Methods: A total of 101 Korean American adolescents participated in this cross-sectional study utilized an online survey. Descriptive statistics were used to describe for means and frequencies and the patterns of substance use. Logistic regression analysis was also used to examine the association between perceived discrimination and substance use. Results: Ninety percent of the participants reported perceiving racial discrimination, and 21% had used at least one kind of substance in the month prior to taking the survey. The most frequently used substance was alcohol, followed by marijuana and tobacco products. Logistic regression analysis revealed a link between perceived racial discrimination and substance use (OR = 1.74, 95% CI = 1.01, 3.00). However, parental affection did not moderate between racial discrimination and substance use. Conclusion: These findings suggest that perceived racial discrimination is positively associated with substance use among Korean American adolescents, and health care providers, counselors, and school nurses should screen for discrimination-related stress and substance use in this population.

Objectives: The relationships among discrimination, social support, and mental health have mostly been studied in minorities, and relevant studies in the general population are lacking. We aimed to investigate associations between discrimination and depressive symptoms in Korean non-minority young adults, considering the role of social support. Methods: In total, 372 participants who completed the psychological examinations conducted in the third wave of the Jangseong High School Cohort study were included. We used the Everyday Discrimination Scale to evaluate perceived discrimination and the Beck Depression Inventory-II to measure depressive symptoms. Social support was measured by the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Multivariate linear regression was conducted to investigate associations between discrimination and depression, along with the effect modification of social support. We stratified the population by gender to investigate gender differences. Results: Perceived discrimination was significantly associated with depressive symptoms (${\beta}=0.736$, p<0.001), and social support was negatively associated with depression (${\beta}=-0.245$, p<0.001). In men, support from friends was the most influential factor (${\beta}=-0.631$, p=0.011), but no significant effect modification was found. In women, support from family was the most influential factor (${\beta}=-0.440$, p=0.010), and women with higher familial support showed a significantly diminished association between discrimination and depression, unlike those with lower family support. Conclusions: Discrimination perceived by individuals can lead to depressive symptoms in Korean young adults, and this relationship can may differ by gender and social support status.

Objectives: This study investigated the association between perceived ethnic discrimination and depressive symptoms among biethnic adolescents in South Korea. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 4141 biethnic adolescents using data from the 2012 National Survey of Multicultural Families. Perceived ethnic discrimination was measured using the question "Have you ever been discriminated against or ignored because either of your parents is not a Korean?" with an assessment of depressive symptoms over the past 12 months. Logistic regression was applied to examine potential associations between perceived ethnic discrimination and depressive symptoms. Results: Among 4141 biethnic adolescents, 558 (13.5%) reported having experienced ethnic discrimination. The most common discriminatory perpetrators were friends (n=241, 5.8%), followed by strangers (n=67, 1.6%). Depressive symptoms were related to experience of ethnic discrimination (odds ratio [OR], 3.80; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.89 to 4.98) after adjusting for potential confounders. In an analysis focusing on the perpetrators of discrimination, depressive symptoms were found to be associated with perceived ethnic discrimination from friends (OR, 3.95; 95% CI, 2.75 to 5.68), teachers (OR, 4.53; 95% CI, 2.16 to 9.51), family members and relatives (OR, 3.89; 95% CI, 1.59 to 9.48), neighbors (OR, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.14 to 5.38), and strangers (OR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.30 to 4.79). Furthermore, the OR for depressive symptoms among those exposed to 1, 2, or 3 or more discriminatory perpetrators were 3.61 (95% CI, 2.49 to 5.24), 3.61 (95% CI, 1.68 to 7.74), and 6.69 (95% CI, 2.94 to 15.22), respectively. Conclusions: According to our findings, friends were the most common perpetrators of discrimination and the experience of ethnic discrimination was associated with depressive symptoms among biethnic adolescents in South Korea.

본 연구에서는 개인자존감을 통제한 상태에서 성별집단자존감이 성차별경험과 정당한 세상에 대한 믿음(Belief in a just world; 이하 BJW)간의 관계를 조절하는지 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 수도권에 거주하는 300명의 일반 여성을 대상으로 성차별경험, 개인자존감, 성별집단자존감, BJW를 측정하였고, 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 개인자존감을 통제한 상태에서, 성별집단자존감이 성차별경험과 BJW간의 관계를 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 성별집단자존감이 높을수록, 성차별경험이 BJW에 미치는 부정적 영향이 감소하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 성별집단자존감의 하위유형(멤버쉽, 사적, 공적, 정체성)이 각각 성차별경험과 BJW 간의 관계를 조절하는지 살펴보았는데, 그 결과, 정체성을 제외한 나머지 하위유형의 조절효과가 유의한 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구의 한계점, 후속연구를 위한 제언, 그리고 상담적 함의를 논의하였다.

This study examined the effects of perceived discrimination on multicultural adolescents regarding feelings of conflict over their ethnic identity by investigating the moderating role of father-child open communication and mother-child open communication mediated by bicultural competence. A total of 234 middle school students (grades 7-8; 139 girls and 95 boys) from multicultural families, from which the father is Korean and the mother is not, participated in the study. Data was collected through an online self-report questionnaire and was analyzed via SPSS 26.0 and Process (Version 4.1) MACRO. The results can be summarized as follows. First, bicultural competence mediated the effects of perceived discrimination on feelings of conflict over one's ethnic identity. Enhanced bicultural competence resulting from a lower perception of discrimination contributed to a reduction in feelings of conflict over one's ethnic identity. Second, the moderated mediation effect of fatherchild open communication was significant, while the effect of mother-child open communication was not. Thus, the mediation relationship (lower perceived discrimination increased bicultural competence and, thus, reduced conflict over one's ethnic identity) grew stronger as the level of father-child open communication increased. The significance of this study lies in uncovering the causal relationships between individual and environmental factors that contribute to ethnic identity development among multicultural adolescents, particularly highlighting the important role of Korean fathers within multicultural households.
