How Does Digital Technology Use Help Immigrants? Examining its Impact on Life Satisfaction of Immigrants in Korea
Immigration process entails a range of difficulties and challenges for immigrants, and many immigrants experience loss of or severed social networks and relationships dur-ing the process. Research on immigrants’ social capital and well-being is widespread worldwide, though only a few studies have examined their well-being in the context of digitalization. In this paper, we focus on immigrants’ access to digital devices, digital competence, and di…
How Do Time Use and Social Relationships Affect the Life Satisfaction Trajectory of Korean Adolescents
This study investigated the life satisfaction trajectory of Korean adolescents, and factors associated with changes in life satisfaction. Specifically, we focused on how changes in time use and social relationships were associated with changes in life satisfaction. Using three waves of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey, we conducted a series of multilevel growth curve modeling analyses. The results indicate that Korean adolescents' life …
Social participation, health‐related behavior, and depression of older adults living alone in Korea
This study aims to identify the effects of social participation on depression among adults over 60 years old living alone in Korea, focusing on the mediating effect of health‐related behavior on the social participation–depression relationship. The study relies on secondary data analysis using the 6th wave of the Korea Longitudinal Study of Ageing, and structural equation modeling method was employed for analyses. The findings indicate that older…
From a Spouse to a Citizen
Morality has been a key factor in naturalization. However, defining what constitutes good moral character has never been specified, leaving interpretation of the good moral character requirement to the discretion of immigration officials and judges. Based on an analysis of court cases filed by marriage migrants, this article expands our understanding of the legal interpretation of the "good morality" requirement in two significant ways. First, by…
Discrimination by whom
Using the National Survey of Multicultural Families 2015, we examine the mediation effect of self-esteem and the effects of discrimination from different sources on young people’s depression, and we account for the importance of geographic area. The results indicate that peer discrimination has an adverse effect on depression among multi-ethnic children and adolescents in both urban and rural areas. Further, discrimination from neighbours affects…
Community-based social service utilization of marriage migrants in Korea
While social services for marriage migrant women have proliferated in the past few years, research on the use of those services remains limited. This study examines factors associated with women’s use of multiple types of services, focusing on the effects of women’s country of origin. We use Gelberg–Andersen’s behavioral model for the theoretical framework and exploit the 2015 National Survey on Multicultural Families for analyses. The results fr…
Discrimination and the healthy immigrant effect
Why does immigrants’ health deteriorate over time? Numerous scholars across multiple disciplines have probed the question, and the term “healthy immigrant effect” was coined precisely to describe this paradoxical phenomenon. This study aims to examine, first, the existence of the healthy immigrant effect among marriage migrant women in Korea, and second, to evaluate the discrimination-health relationship as a potential explanation for the healthy…
Understanding the life of Chinese immigrants in Korea
In recent years, Korean society has claimed its multicultural identity in which diversity is celebrated. Numerous changes have been made at societal level, and policies and services promoting multiculturalism have been implemented. However, one particular ethnic group excluded from multiculturalism discourse is the Hwa‐Gyo, descendants of Chinese immigrants. This study aims to gain an understanding of the Hwa‐Gyo and their lives, as little is kno…
Elm bark extract improves immunomodulation and ameliorates oxidative stress in irradiated mice
Radiation therapy can result in side effects such as cellular and tissue inflammation and organ damage. Previously, elm bark (EB) extract has been reported to exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we investigated whether EB administration could improve immunocompetence and ameliorate radiation-induced intestinal damage in irradiated mice. After exposure to radiation of 15 Gy, mice were orally administered with EB extract…
The trajectory of life satisfaction and its associated factors among adolescents in South Korea
Korean adolescents are reportedly unhappy, dissatisfied with their lives, yet little is known about why. This study is set out to examine their life satisfaction and its change over time and the factors associated with its change. The analyses were conducted using the data from the Korean Youth Panel Survey (2004–2008) on a total of 3449 adolescents. The latent growth curve modelling result shows that Korean adolescents’ life satisfaction had a l…
Importance of Family Values Differences Between Husbands and Wives in Determining Depression in Foreign Wives in Korean Multicultural Families
Differences in value systems are often grounds for conflict in relationships. This is particularly the case for international marriages where spouses hold potentially different family values. This study thus investigated the effect of family values differences between Korean husbands and foreign wives on depression of the wives. It also attempted to examine the moderating effect of family, friend, and formal support. Findings showed that family v…
Examining the Relationship between Domestic Violence and Depression among Koreans
Domestic violence is a prevalent social issue in Korea affecting a significant number of people every day. It is thus important to examine how the experience of domestic violence affects their mental health to better address their needs. Using stress-coping theory as a theoretical framework, this study examines the domestic violence and depression relationship among Korean men and women. Two aspects of self-esteem and informal and formal social s…
The Reciprocal Relationship between Depressive Symptoms and Alcohol Consumption
As most previous studies have focused on a unidirectional relationship between depression and alcohol use using cross‐sectional data, not much is known about the reciprocal relationship between them. Using two waves of longitudinal data, this study examines their reciprocal relationship and whether it varies by employment status, using structural equation modeling (SEM). A theory‐based SEM was developed based on the tension reduction hypothesis a…
