“…The children’s behavioral problems were measured using the Korean version of the Child Behavior Checklist (K-CBCL) 6–18, developed by Achenbach and Rescorla [ 38 ] for parents to evaluate the behaviors of children aged 6 to 18, and translated and standardized by Oh and Kim [ 39 ] in Korea. The norm-referenced CBCL was completed by parents; it describes a child’s emotions and behaviors during the previous six months.…”

Background This study aimed to examine the mediating effects of parenting style on the relationship between parental stress and behavioral problems of girls with precocious puberty. Methods This cross-sectional study analyzed a convenience sample of 200 mothers of girls with precocious puberty at a university hospital located in a metropolitan area. The Parental Stress measurement, Parents as Social Context Questionnaire, and Korean version Child Behavior Checklist (K-CBCL) 6–18 were measured via self-report questionnaires. Descriptive, t-test, Pearson correlation, and bootstrapping analyses were used to analyze the data. Results Negative parenting styles had a full mediating effect on the relationship between parental stress and internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems. Conclusions Care plans for parents of girls with precocious puberty should be designed and applied in health care settings to reduce internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems by decreasing negative parenting styles.

“…Acculturative stress, or the stressors associated with being an immigrant and undergoing the acculturation process, is predictive of the overall quality of life of immigrants (Bekteshi & Kang, 2020; Rudmin, 2009). Notably, a high level of acculturative stress has been shown to impair mental health and social functioning (Crockett et al, 2007; Im et al, 2014; Oh & Kim, 2021).…”

Objectives: Over the past three decades, the number of multicultural families in Korea, defined as a family consisting of a native Korean and a marriage immigrant, has increased significantly. Although bullying victimization among multicultural family youth is rightfully a growing concern, less is known about the effects bullying has on immigrant mothers of children who have been bullying victims. Method: Using data from the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study, this study investigates whether children's bullying victimization is associated with immigrant mothers' acculturative stress and whether this association differs depending on mothers' country of origin (China, Japan, and Southeast Asian countries). Results: Fixed effects estimates revealed that children's bullying victimization is positively associated with their immigrant mother's acculturative stress, and this association is robust to controlling for unobserved time-constant individual-level heterogeneity. When stratified by mother's country of origin, the association was larger and statistically significant only among Southeast Asian mothers. No associations were observed among Japanese and Chinese mothers. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that interventions aiming to support bullied children should be expanded to also support their immigrant mothers. Policymakers may wish to consider the specific backgrounds and contexts of immigrant mothers, with special attention to Southeast Asian women. Public Significance StatementChildren from multicultural families in Korea who experience bullying often have immigrant mothers dealing with the stress of adapting to a new culture. This bullying-stress link is especially strong for children whose mothers come from Southeast Asian backgrounds, as these mothers tend to face greater social challenges and lack social and cultural resources than mothers from other ethnic groups.

“…Kim (2020) also highlighted that Korean teachers should acknowledge varied cultural and racial artifacts in the classroom. According to Oh and Kim (2021), bringing together multicultural components through school intervention is critical to this effort. To understand fully child development, and parent-child engagement, highlighting maternal roles must be given attention (Eo & Kim, 2017).…”

With the increasing number of multicultural families in Korea, opportunities and challenges arise, particularly in terms of children’s welfare and education. The present study investigates the experiences of Filipino women married to Koreans and their school parental engagement. Through unstructured interviews, 13 Filipino women participated in the study regarding their involvement in school affairs regarding their child’s attendance at Korean schools. The challenges faced by the participants were also explored. Findings show Filipino mothers’ eagerness to attend to the academic needs of their children through various programs and activities. Responsibilities and challenges faced by Filipino women span teaching their children and academic monitoring at home, despite not being fluent in Korean. Discrimination and social exclusivity have also been reported as experienced by some participants due to their multicultural backgrounds. Inputs to policy formulation have also been proposed based on the findings of the study.
