The purpose of this study was to examine the personal and relational variables affecting on the ambivalent feelings that grandmother has about their adult children. The participants were 355 grandmothers rearing their grandchildren in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis using statistical program SPSS 23.0. The results of the study are as follows. First, the neuroticism in grandmother was associated with greater ambivalence. The conscientiousness was associated with less ambivalence toward the daughter, and with greater ambivalence toward the daughter-in-law. Second, the consensual solidarity was associated with less ambivalence. The normative solidarity was associated with greater ambivalence, and this was significant only for the daughter-in-law relationship. Third, the negative social exchanges was associated with greater ambivalence. Fourth, sociodemographic characteristics such as caring time and education level of grandmother were related only to ambivalence toward the daughter-in-law. Based on the results of this study, we discussed how to reduce the ambivalent feelings of grandmother.

The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of role of foster parents with their foster care children and derived the meaning of the foster parents' experience. For this purpose, we interviewed six foster parents with school-aged foster care children and analyzed the collected data using the phenomenological approach. As a result, five components, sixteen sub-components, and thirty-seven meaning units were emerged. The five theme categories are as follows: (1) foster children in middle-aged life, (2) perceptions regarding foster children, (3) confusion and stress to being foster parents, (4) liminal space between birth family and foster family, (5) justifications for continuing foster care. This study suggests that the meaning of parenthood for foster parents is derived by examining the daily difficulties experienced in rearing school-aged foster children and the process of overcoming difficulties. The results of this study provide academic data for the development of intervention programs for foster parents and families with foster care children. This study will help to find out a practical education program that are appropriate for needs of foster parents.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the longitudinal relationship between income inequality, effectiveness of policy by public transfer and quality of life among the baby boomer, and to derive social welfare implications. The subjects were 1,302 baby boomers who had consistently participated in the Korea Welfare Panel Survey. Specifically, the 1st to 10th surveys (2006-2015), and their specific data were analyzed.
The mayor findings were as follows: First, public transfer reduced the relative poverty rate to market income by -/ 3.1%/ 3.0%/ 3.0%/ 3.3%/ 4.2%/ 4.2%/ 4.6%/ 4.3%/ 3.9%. Second, private transfer reduced the inequality of income in non-poverty households. but increased the inequality of income in poverty households. Otherwise public transfer reduced significantly the inequality of income in poverty households. Third, in the pathway analysis of the latent growth modeling analysis between quality of life (LQ) and gross income (GI), which reflected the effects of government policy by public transfer, both the pathway of 'ICEPT GI→ICEPT LQ' and the pathway of 'SLOPE GI→SLOPE LQ' were significant positively, but the pathway of 'ICEPT GI → SLOPE LQ' was significant negatively. Implication and limitation of this research, and points to consider in future study were discussed.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between the developmental task achievement and subjective well-being of young adults in their emerging and early adulthood. The dataset used in the study was collected in 2018, targeting single-person households living in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. As for the developmental tasks of young adults, stress from the romantic partner relationship, educational attainment, whether currently employed, whether having debt, and family closeness were included. Control variables cover general efficacy and social self-efficacy, gender, age, physical and mental health condition as well as leisure satisfaction. The subjective well-being of young adults was measured with Flourishing Scale developed by Keyes. Results of the study showed that educational attainment, having debt, family closeness, and employ status (currently employed) were significantly related to the subjective well-being of young adult single-person households, while employment status showed a positive effect. Among control variables, general and social self-efficacy were significant, and male respondents showed a higher level of subjective well-being compared to female respondents. Physical and mental health condition were significant as was satisfaction with leisure time. The authors conclude with a discussion of the findings and implications of the study.

The purpose of this study was to understand the lived experiences of adults aged out of foster care. To achieve this, we conducted in-depth interviews with 5 adults aged out of foster care. The data were analyzed and integrated using the context-pattern analysis method. The analyzed data were grouped according to three sub-contexts (foster care, family, and community). For the first sub-context of 'foster care', life meanings attached to events and people involved in foster care were discovered. The second sub-context, 'family' included meanings of relationship with their care-givers, foster or biological families. The third sub-context, 'community' was defined as interactions and life events within the community. Lastly, the common theme of life-crisis experiences, including family crisis, drifting, mental health issues, incarceration, and homelessness emerged across the three sub-contexts. Based on the results, policy and practical guidelines to better serve and enhance the well-being of adults aged out of foster care were suggested.

The purpose of this study is to verify the validity of the checklist development of the middle manager of daycare centers. By applying the golden circle model developed by Lee, the checklist was developed based on open survey response results and prior research based on the criteria of 24 personality factors, which include four types of leadership and sub-sections, and has been verified by experts. As a result, a total of 72 checklists were developed into three questions for Inseong Deokmok, a sub-section of the four types of leadership, and 22 mid-level managers who were field experts were given content addition plans. Studies show that the contents of affirmation, confidence and patience in subtype of the followership leadership are very high, and the modesty content is rather low. In the self-leadership subtype, the content of challenge, persistence was shown very high, and the content of imagination, honesty and courage appeared rather low. The content of forgiveness and allocation appeared rather low, although it was generally high in the subtypes of the servant leadership. The content of order and self-restraint appeared rather low, although it was high in the transformation leadership subtype. However, items of the subtype contents, which were somewhat lower, were also higher than the criterion of judgement (.42), so all of them could be considered reasonable. These findings could be used as a basis for the mid-level manager's personality leadership program development study.

This study is aimed at identifying trends in research on community care and the knowledge structure of community care related research in a research paper published in the journal 'community care', which is the policy of the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2018, and through network analysis and connectivity analysis using Word2vec, the research trends of 'community care' are improved. In this study, keyword extraction and analysis were conducted using word-clouding of the Python program in the journal Community Care, and the data were collected using Word2Vec of Deep Learning Technique (RNN) for the centrality and cohesion analysis of Semantic network analysis. The results of the study are as follows. First, the words frequently appearing through word-clouding were in the order of 'service', 'care', 'community', 'social', 'the aged', 'region', 'research', 'welfare', ' facilities', 'an analysis' and 'policy'. Second, 'Service, 'Community', 'Care', 'Social', 'the aged' and 'research' were evaluated as the most important nodes after visualizing the network using the connection strength between words obtained from Word2vec for 50 major keywords of the frequency of emergence. The words 'build', 'social', 'institutional', 'recuperation', 'region', 'United Kingdom', 'policy', insurance' and 'disabled' were found to be highly interconnected. Third, based on the network model's assessment of the centrality, 'social ', 'United Kingdom' 'disabled', 'policy' and 'Korea' were found to have a high centrality, the words 'treatment', 'Korea' service', 'the aged' and 'recuperation' and 'nearly' words 'social' and 'system', 'United Kingdom' were investigated. Finally, the groupings of research subjects using intuitive clustering over the network confirmed that they were clustered into three groups: the service sector, the treatment, the center, and the policy and the plan, and the aspects of community and welfare were revealed.
