베트남과 한국 대학생의 효의식과 부모됨의 동기에 관한 비교국가연구 = A Cross-National Investigation into the Filial Piety and Motivations for Parenthood among Vietnamese and Korean College Students

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study empirically examined the effects of filial piety on motivations for parenthood among Vietnamese and Korean college students, who represent a generation of young adults and prospective parents in both countries. The Vietnamese data were collected from 325 college students enrolled in three universities located in Hanoi and Korean data were collected from 216 students from a single large university in Seoul. Student respondents were asked to complete the self-administered questionnaire including `Filial Piety Scale` and `Motivations for Parenthood Scale.` The results revealed that the Vietnamese students reported a significantly higher level of `general filial piety` than their Korean counterparts. Vietnamese and Korean participants showed no significant difference in total motivations for parenthood. Among the five sub-factors of motivations for parenthood, however, the Vietnamese students were more likely to place a value on the expansion of self-motivation while their Korean counterparts considered the motivation to strengthen biological family ties to be more salient. Finally, after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, hierarchical regression analysis revealed that the more filial Vietnamese and Korean college students were towards their parents, the more child-related motives they held in general. The results are discussed in relation to each country`s degree of modernization and to recommend prospective family planning and population policies in Vietnam based on the experiences of Korea industrialization.
