본 연구에서는 청년과 노인을 대상으로 자신이 경험한 사건에 대한 기억, 즉 자전적 기억을 회상할 때 나타나는 얼굴 및 언어적 정서표현의 연령차를 알아보았다. 참가자는 청년 34명(평균연령 22.18세)과 노인31명(평균연령 75.94세)이었으며 자전적 인터뷰, AI에 따라 행복, 슬픔, 분노, 공포/놀람, 혐오를 느꼈던 사건을 말했다. 말하는 동안의 얼굴표정을 코딩시스템 FACES를 사용하여 얼굴표정 변화의 빈도, 강도, 시간을 측정했으며, AI의 코딩법을 기준으로 자신의 정서를 표현한 말의빈도를 긍정 및 부정 정서로 나누어 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 얼굴표정에서 노인이 청년보다 부정 정서를 표현하는 빈도가 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 언어에서는 노인보다 청년이 긍정 정서와 부정정서를 표현하는 빈도가 더 높았으며, 청년의 정서표현이 주관적 안녕감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 정서표현의 연령차가 정서를 표현하는 수단에 따라 다를 수 있으며 정서표현이 개인의 행복과연결될 수 있음을 시사한다. 논의에서 본 연구의 의의, 제한점, 추후연구에 대해기술하였다.
본 연구는 부모의 인지적 정서조절 전략과 초등학교 학령기 아동의 정서. 행동문제 간의 관계에서 부모의 긍정적 정서표현과 긍정적 양육행동이 미치는 순차 매개효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 초등학생 자녀를 둔 부모를 대상으로 자기보고식 온라인 설문조사를 실시하여 부모의 적응적 인지적 정서조절 전략, 긍정적 정서표현성, 긍정적 양육행동, 아동의 정서.행동문제를 측정하였다. 수집된 자료는Hayes(2018)의 Process Macro Model 6를 사용하여 검증한 결과, 부모의 적응적인지적 정서조절 전략과 아동의 정서.행동문제 간의 관계에서 긍정적 정서표현성과 긍정적 양육행동의 순차 매개효과가 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 부모의 인지적 정서조절 전략-정서표현-양육행동으로 이어지는 과정을경험적으로 검증함으로써, 부모 교육 및 상담 등의 장면에서 부모의 인지적 정서조절 전략을 향상시켜 긍정적 정서표현과 양육행동을 촉진시키는 인지적.정서적.행동적 개입이 아동의 정서. 행동문제를 완화하거나 예방하는 과정이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
Attention bias, the differential allocation of attention to foreground objects versus background context in everyday perception, is shaped by culture and exhibits patterns similar to adults from approximately age seven onwards. However, limited research demonstrates the direct influence of caregivers as cultural transmitters in shaping attention patterns during early development. This study measured cultural attention bias using a scene description task among 127 dyads of Korean children aged 3-5 years and their mothers, and examined whether individual differences in mothers’ attention bias predicted their children’s attention bias. The results showed that both children aged 3-5 and their mothers displayed foreground-focused attention patterns in their descriptions. This pattern differed from previous findings in Korean adults but resembled attention bias patterns observed in North America. Furthermore, the stronger the mothers’ tendency to describe foreground objects, the greater the proportion of foreground references in their children’s descriptions. This predictive effect remained significant after controlling for children’s age, suggesting that caregivers, as cultural transmitters, may directly contribute to shaping children’s attention patterns during early development.
This study aimed to develop and validate a scale designed to capture how individuals perceive and evaluate delayed childbearing decisions across multiple psychosocial dimensions. Data were collected from 1,347 childless adults aged 25–40 years, and a cross-validation approach using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses was employed. The findings supported a 20-item, six-factor structure encompassing economic burden, prioritization of personal autonomy, health-related concerns, lack of social support, concerns about future generations, and sociocultural pressure. The scale demonstrated strong internal consistency and convergent and discriminant validity. Criterion-related validity was supported by theoretically consistent associations among fertility intentions, depression, and subjective well-being. Furthermore, nomological network analyses indicated that delayed childbearing decisions significantly predicted fertility intentions, providing additional support for construct validity. Overall, this scale provides a comprehensive tool for researchers and clinicians to systematically assess the psychosocial processes underlying childbearing decision making.
This study investigated whether 3-year-old Korean children use shared language as a cue when forming expectations and evaluating others’ helping behaviors. Children first watched videos of four Asian women, two of whom spoke Korean and two Japanese. They then observed an interaction between two women who spoke the same language (ingroup condition: Korean–Korean or Japanese Japanese) or different languages (outgroup condition: Korean–Japanese or Japanese–Korean). When one woman required instrumental assistance, children rated how likely they expected the other to help. Children in the ingroup condition expected higher levels of help than those in the outgroup condition. Next, children observed the potential helper either assisting or ignoring an ingroup or outgroup member in need and then evaluated the behavior. Critically, however, children judged ignoring more negatively when the target was an ingroup member than when the target was an outgroup member. Together, these findings indicate that by age three, children treat shared language as a socially meaningful marker, using it to generate differentiated expectations about prosocial obligations and to evaluate others’ behavior accordingly
This study identified latent profiles of mothers based on parental calling, child-based self-worth, positive parenting, and psychological control, and examined differences in happiness, parenting stress, and mother–child relationship satisfaction. A total of 518 Korean mothers with children aged 13–18 participated. Latent profile analysis revealed five groups: High Calling–Supportive Type (11.1%), Committed Calling–Parenting Type (25.3%), Moderate Type (48.1%), Obligated Calling–Controlling Type (4.0%), and Restricted Calling–Controlling Type (11.5%). Mothers in profiles with higher calling and positive parenting reported higher happiness and relationship satisfaction, and lower parenting stress. However, the Obligated Calling–Controlling Type showed high stress and low well-being despite high calling. These results suggest that the combination of parental calling, parenting behaviors, and psychological attitudes toward children can lead to either adaptive or maladaptive outcomes
