The drastically changing society has brought diverse types of families, and these diversities are changing the concept of the word 'family' itself. Inevitably, these changes cause different viewpoints among family members, developing into conflicts and social issues. In this paper, generational family problems, which are caused by changes within the family as a result of the variously, diversely changing society, are observed to suggest a resolution. Looking into the functional variety that today's structural change within a family demands, several positives changes described below have been observed; Firstly, the change in the way of interaction among family members; Secondly, the demand for continuance on relational functions including love, care, etc, as a psychological resource of family; Thirdly, the conversion from form's sake relationship to actual relationship; and Lastly, the usage of a clearer communications network. The interaction between the parent-children relationship, according to the changes in family life cycle, is also re-focused to seek resolutions for intergenerational conflicts. The results are as follows; Firstly, the changeability of various family types today must be accepted, and the functional aspects of changing families must be emphasized ; Secondly, the mutual-exchanging value of each generation must be accepted, strengthening relational functions between generations; Thirdly, it is necessary to refocus filial piety. In other words, though the intergenerational transmission of family functions may become the basis of lineage and clan formation, it won't be possible without interaction between generation.
아직까지 범죄학은 학문적 정체성을 제대로 찾지 못하고 있다. 그 주된 원인은 범죄학연구가 사회학적 접근방법에만 주로 의존했기 때문이다. 따라서 범죄학에는 생물학, 심리학, 그리고 사회학 등 여러 학문분야들을 모두 아우르는 간학문적 접근방법(interdisciplinary)이 동원되어야 한다. 그러나 이것은 생물학이나 심리학적 연구가 사회학적 접근방법을 대신하는 것을 의미하는 것은 아니다. 다만 다양한 분야의 학자들이 범죄를 연구하여 하나의 체계화 된 일반이론으로 정립될 수 있도록 노력해야 한다는 것이다. 본 연구는 그 이외에도 범죄학이 과학이 되기 위한 조건과 기타 앞으로 범죄학이 나아가야할 방향에 대해 논의하였다.
Criminology is not a science yet in the sense that the word is used to describe the hard science. It is due to the fact that sociologists have dominated in the study of crime and criminals. Thus, future criminological studies should adopt an interdisciplinary approach including such disciplines as biology, psychology, sociology, and so on. The interdisciplinary approach needs to pursue a general theory by systematizing the achievements from various disciplines in the explanation of criminal behavior. The current study also discussed several issues which are conducive to the scientific study of criminal behavior.
본 문헌연구는 국내에서 자세하게 소개된 적이 없는 정신병질의 개념에 대해 살펴보고 범죄의 잠재요인으로서 정신병질이 어떤 활용도를 지닐 수 있을지를 광범위하게 추정하여 보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 우선 시대적으로 정신병질의 개념이 어떻게 진화되었는지, 성격의 결정요인들과는 어떤 관련성을 지니는지, 나아가 정신병질자의 행동특성들은 무엇인지 등을 체계적으로 정리하고자 시도하였다. 마지막으로 정신병질의 평가방안과 재범예측력에 대해 살펴봄으로써 우리나라 형사정책 제도 내에서의 활용도를 탐색하였다.
This literature review introduced the concept of psychopathy which has never been defined academically in Korea. Also it is reviewed how this concept could be applied as latent factor of criminal behavior in the forensic settings. For this purpose, first of all, the periodical change of psychopathy definition was explored. Then it was investigated which determinants might develop psychopathy and what would be the behavioral characteristics of psychopaths. Finally, risk assessment tools measuring psychopathy were introduced and their predictive efficacy and applicability in Korean criminal justice system was discussed.
본 연구는 남북한 통일 논의에서 중요하게 다루어지는 남북한 문화이질성 논란을 심리학적으로 파악하기 위해 북한이탈주민들 181명을 대상으로 설문지법을 적용하여 실시되었다. 여기에서 북한이탈주민들은 정착 초기에 이 문화이질감을 상당히 많이 지각하는 것으로 드러났는데, 이 자체가 곧바로 문제로 드러나는 것은 아니며, 이에 대한 대처의 전략으로서 남한 문화지향성을 얼마나 구사하느냐 하는 매개변인의 기능이 중요하다는 점이 밝혀졌다. 즉, 남한 문화지향성을 중심으로 적절하게 대처하게 되면 자기효능감을 높게 가질 수 있었으며, 이에 따라 심리적 적응 수준도 높았다. 그런데, 이 심리적 적응 수준은 생활만족도와 같은 긍정적 지표에서는 유의미한 차이가 발견되지 않았으나, 우울감과 같은 부정적 지표에서는 유의미한 차이가 발견되었다. 여기서 자기효능감이 낮은 집단이 우울감이 높았고, 우울증상군으로 분류할 수 있는 경우가 해당 집단의 43% 수준에 이르는 정도로 많았다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 북한이탈주민들의 남북한 문화이질감 극복을 위해 남한문화 적응 지향성을 많이 가지는 것이 중요하다는 점을 확인할 수 있었고, 이질감 그 자체만을 문제시하는 것보다는 이에 대해 대처하는 전략이 중요함을 알 수 있었다.
This study is performed to understand and resolve psychologically the issue of North Korea-South Korea's cultural heterogeneity which is treated importantly in unification debates. We collected data from 181 North Korea Defectors through survey, and found out that the North Korea Defectors perceived cultural heterogeneity so much especially at the early settlement stage. However, this fact itself didn't give a serious suggestion, What is significant was how much South Korean cultural orientation they had as a coping strategy. When they coped with South Korean cultural orientation, they showed high level of self-efficacy, and furthermore they demonstrated high level of psychological adaptation. By the way, this psychological adaptation level was not significantly correlated with positive index such as life satisfaction, but correlated with negative index such as depression. That is, low self-efficacy group showed high level of depression and 43% of them could be classified as a depression-symptom group. Thus, we can conclude that it is rather helpful for the North Korean Defectors to have South Korean cultural orientation for overcoming North Korea-South Korea's cultural heterogeneity, and coping strategy is more important than cultural heterogeneity itself.
