Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of family-friendly policies and work-family culture on parenting stress and parenting efficacy. In order to achieve this purpose, the survey was taken into 202 working fathers and 201 working mothers who have less than 36-month-old children from Daegu and Kyungpook. Data were gathered using questionnaires on Family-Friendly Policies, Work-Family Culture, Parenting Stress, and Perceived Parenting Competence. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson`s correlation coefficient, Factor Analysis, Cronbach`s α, Analysis of Variance, Multivariate analysis of Variance, and Multiple Regression. The major findings were as follows: First, working fathers` parenting stress was a significant difference in implementation of Financial Aassistance among family-friendly policies. As the number of implementation of financial assistance is more, working fathers` general parenting stress has been increased. But working mothers` parenting stress wasn`t a significant difference in implementation and utilization of family-friendly policies. Second, working fathers` parenting efficacy was a significant difference in implementation of Leaves among family-friendly policies. As the number of implementation of Leaves is more, working fathers` parenting efficacy has been increased. But working mothers` parenting efficacy wasn`t a significant difference in implementation and utilization of family-friendly policies. Third, work-family culture didn`t have an effect on working fathers` parenting stress. But work-family culture had an effect on working mothers` parenting stress. That is, working mothers` managerial support is higher, general parenting stress has been decreased, and demand for working hours and putting job before family is lower, burden of parenting role has been decreased. Finally, work-family culture had an effect on working fathers` and mothers` parenting efficacy. In other words, career consequences is lower, parenting efficacy has been increased. The conclusions and implications of these findings are discussed.

This study is designed a program under the framework of Gottman`s couple relationship program. The objectives of the study is the measurement of self-esteem, communication, and couple adaptability enhancement of the couple participation by sex and couple age difference. The participants of this program are 5 pairs as experimental groups and 5 pairs as control groups. All of the groups are pairs of Korean male and Pilipino female living in Yeosu city. The program was conducted as a short-term program of six times(100 minutes foe each time) for 6 weeks, and both quantitative/qualitative analyses were conducted in order to evaluate the achievement of couple relationship enhancement. The results of this study are as follows in terms of the effectiveness of the program. First, the experimental group showed more improvement in self-esteem. Second, the improvement of communication was found in the experimental group. Lastly, a couple adjust of the experimental group was increased. The suggestions through this study are as follows. First, the participants were, 5 pairs as experimental groups and 5 pairs as control groups. As it shows, the location and side of groups were limited and we need to apply this program to the larger group of people. Second, the study was carried on by 6 times of short programs. Considering the huge language/culture gaps in multicultural families, we need to establish a long-term program as well. Therefore, we need to carry on a long term program in follow-up study. Third, we need to acknowledge the difficulty when dealing with the participants with low Korean proficiency. For this reason, we would need to provide a follow-up study in which the program appeals to the personal needs and characters utilizing certain features of art, music, expressional arts demanding less of the participants` Korean proficiency. Fourth, this study required mutual participation of each member of multicultural couples particularly consisted of Korean husbands and Pilipino wives. However, we need keep in mind that the portion of Chinese, Vietnamese, Pilipino females is 82.9% of entire migrant women, and design a program specialized for this group.

Abstract

This study examine to discrepancy between parental and child`s perceptions regarding family functioning in their family and parent-child communication. Especially to fine out the children`s developmental difference in perceptional discrepancy, it was compared to age and gender of children with their parents. FAD(Family Assessment Device) and PACS (Parent-Adolescent Communication Scale)was reported from 48 fathers, 48 mothers, and 51 children were analyzed using cronbach`s alpha, t-test and one-way ANOVA. Result of these analyze is summarized as follow. 1) FAD and PACS scale reliabilites were lowest in younger children (under 12 years of age). So We recommend to be careful to survey about children under 12 in the study of family. 2) In analysing of FAD, Younger children and daughters perceived higher affective responsiveness in FAD than fathers. 3) In analysing of PACS, children perceived higher PFC(Problems in Family Communication) with mother especially in 12 years and older age. These result suggest the discrepancies in perceptions of family functioning and parent-child communication between parent and children can show the ‘individuation’ of children development, the inadequacies to survey research of children under 12 age and social desirability, defense mechanism of mothers.

Abstract

This study was a narrative research of ‘definition of love’ of university students presented in journaling tasks suggested in two classes, ‘marriage and family’ and ‘sexuality and love’. It was analyzed in reference to the narrative research process and procedure suggested by Clandinin and Connely(2000). Only the section of the definition of Love was excerpted from the love stories written by them to analyze the narratives of 75 students in total (42 males, 33 females) with the focus placed on the definition section. The purpose of this study is to analyze the narratives on the definition of love for male and female university students to investigate gender differences. The results show that what was common in their narratives was the definition of ‘love as feeling.’ ‘Feeling’ includes exchange of such emotions as jealousy, sorrow, and distress as well as that of warm and happy emotions. University students were found to emphasize ‘feeling’ in the emotional respect rather than in the cognitive one. Gender differences were shown in four sub-categories of love, respectively: ‘experiencing’ in their living rather than defining it by language, ‘being absolute’, ‘being of fate’, and ‘being of pure’ for females and ‘giving’ in a subjective and positive attitude, ‘being passionate’ in terms of motivation, ‘making efforts’ in a mature attitude and ‘being in love is painful’ for males. This study could investigate narratives on the definition of love for university students to discover how they defined love and to identify gender differences. I hope that ‘love’ desired by university students will become harmonious with reality.
