The purpose of this study is to derive relevant factors to promote family counseling by exploring what the semantic structure of media awareness of family counseling is like in the present generation.
To that end, 17 media outlets (KBS, MBC, SBS, YTN, Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo, Dong-A Ilbo, Kyunghyang Shinmun, Hankook Ilbo, Yonhap News, NEWS1, NEWSIS, Oh my News!, Nocut News, Daily Economy, Korea Economy, Electronic Times) collected articles (2,910) related to 'family counseling' from January 2018 to December 2018.
The NetMinor 4.3, NetDraw, and SPSS 23.0 programs were used for data analysis in this study, and text mining and opinion mining analysis methods were used. In the text mining analysis process for identifying the semantic structure of the media's family counseling, frequency and centrality analysis, and CONCOR analysis, which can be considered as a keyword network analysis, were conducted, and factor analysis and binary logistic regression were used in opinion mining to explore awareness of the media's family counseling.
The results of this study are as follows.
First, the total number of words extracted from news articles on family counseling came to 41,132, with keywords related to ‘counseling service’, ‘child’, ‘recognition and problem’ appearing to top frequency.
Second, their association with the frequency of major words in news articles on family counseling showed that the word ‘recognition’, ‘problems’, ‘children’, ‘stories’, ‘individuals’, ‘society’, ‘women’ and ‘parents’ was influential.
Third, in the subgroup structure of major words appearing in news articles on family counseling, seven subgroups were classified: sexual and domestic violence issue groups, family members groups, cognition and cost groups, program offering and operation groups, policy and institutional groups, place and media groups, and psychological symptoms.
Fourth, among the concepts derived from news articles on family counseling, factors of the same nature are sexual violence issues (victim, sexual violence, assailant, harm damage, crime, sexual harassment, report, Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, protection), cognition and cost factors (effort, cognitive, strength, time, interview, money), family factors (children, parents, couples), hospital factors (patients, treatment, hospitals, doctors, symptoms), school factors(students, schools, University), suicide factors (suicide, telephone, expert), psychological symptom factors (depressiveness, stress), emotional words were determined as two factors: need (need, help, solution, interest), and difficulty (difficult, worry, novelty, burden).
Fifth, the most influential variable in the sexual violence issue factor out of the reduced seven factor groups (sex violence issues, cognition and cost, family members, hospital, school, suicide, psychological symptoms) was identified as the perpetrator, and in addition, it was found to have a significant effect on the recognition of the need for family counseling in the order of sexual violence, protection and damage. On the other hand, the higher the influence of sexual violence, the more likely it is to recognize difficulties in family counseling. The recognition and expense factors influenced the recognition of the need for family counseling in order of recognition, effort, strength, money, and time, and the hospital factors were shown to affect the recognition of the need for family counseling in order of doctors, treatments, and symptoms. In the order of family members, parents and children influenced the perception of family counseling needs, and the most influential excuse for the need for family counseling was the parent's spokesman. In terms of school factors, it affected the perception of need for family counseling, followed by students, and in the order of suicide, experts, and phone calls. Psychological symptoms include depression and stress, which affected the perception that family counseling is needed, and the most influential variable in the recognition that family counseling is needed is a depressive spokesman.
Based on the characteristics of the data called big data, this research is complementary to the research and case analysis results based on the existing survey in verifying the factors associated with family counseling. It is also meaningful as an exploratory study to identify frames on family counseling being reported in news articles through opinion mining and to find out what factors are involved in activating family counseling.
