The data presented are restricted to 509 M Rs. A sample working hypothesis that the lower the degree of adaptation to the Ur destination, the more likely a person is to return to Ru origins, was tested & generally supported by the data. 4 Tables.

Over the past few decades, East Asia developments in terms of production, population and trade have shown remarkable dynamics. Ensuing changes in these regions of non-Western civilization are commonly interpreted in terms of a successful adaptation of modernity. However, experiences such as the regional crisis in 1997 and the tragic incident of September 2001 more than ever ask for more intensive civilizational dialogues, and urge us to carefully consider the implications of capitalist development in the East Asian context(s). This book deals with the issues of Asian values, civilizational encounters between East and West, and the development of capitalism and its culture in East Asian countries. Its focus on inter-civilizational exchanges and the intricate interplays between civilizational and capitalist dynamics helps us to better understand our human story and history.

Using a set of survey data gathered from a group of sixth grade boys and girls in Korea, this study attempts a causal interpretation of the effect of mother's education and occupational involvement upon parental decision-making role patterns in the Korean family. A scale of sex role direction is constructed with several factor analyzed items dealing with parental decision-making behavior. Employing the technique of path analysis, the causal relationships of rural-urban residence, SES, mother's education, and her employment status with sex role scores are explored. Findings indicate that residence and mother's education are the two most influential factors affecting her role in child-rearing decisions. By suggesting a "modernization of sex role" approach, the paper discusses some problems of current theories of family power, based on decision making behavior indicators.
