Social Isolation and Suicidal Ideation Among Older Adults in Korea
This study examined the extent to which community-level welfare spending and community trust moderated the association between social isolation and suicidal ideation among older adults in South Korea. Using data from the 2017 Korean Community Health Survey ( N = 64,853, aged ≥65), we analyzed three social isolation indicators (living alone, lack of contact, and limited social participation) with multilevel logistic regression with cross-level int…
Understanding the Interplay of Religion, Social Relationships, and Depressive Symptoms in Later Life

The Mediating Role of Sense of Control in the Associations Between Remote Contacts and Loneliness Among Older Adults
This study explored whether a sense of control over social life mediated the associations between using remote contact (phone calls, letters/emails, social media) and loneliness for socially isolated older adults. We used path analysis with the 2014 and 2016 Health and Retirement Study datasets ( N = 3767). Results showed that more frequent phone calls and letters/emails were associated with lower levels of loneliness through sense of control. Ho…

Coping with global uncertainty
Following the global outbreak of COVID-19 in March 2020, individuals report psychological distress associated with the "new normal"-social distancing, financial hardships, and increased responsibilities while working from home. Given the interpersonal nature of stress and coping responses between romantic partners, based on the systemic transactional model this study posits that perceived partner dyadic coping may be an important moderator betwee…
Does Marital Satisfaction Matter for Dyadic Associations Between Multimorbidity and Subjective Health Among Korean Married Couples in Middle and Later Life

Data were extracted from the Korea Longitudinal Study of Aging in 2016 and 2018. The sample was Korean married couples in middle and later life ( N = 780 couples with low marital satisfaction, N = 1,193 couples with high marital satisfaction). The independent variable was multimorbidity, measured by the nu…
Family Values in South Korean Society
The purpose of this study is to examine differences in marital and sexual values according to gender, age, and Protestantism contexts using the 2012 and 2018 Korea General Social Surveys. Samples for marital values were from the 2012 survey (N=797 adults aged 20 and over), and those for sexual values were from the 2018 survey (N=550 adults aged 20 and over). There were four domains in marital values (happiness, child, cohabitation, and divorce) a…
"Cross-Cultural Differences in a Global "Survey of World Views
We know that there are cross-cultural differences in psychological variables, such as individualism/collectivism. But it has not been clear which of these variables show relatively the greatest differences. The Survey of World Views project operated from the premise that such issues are best addressed in a diverse sampling of countries representing a majority of the world's population, with a very large range of item-content. Data were collected …
