Associations Between Familism and Psychological Adjustment Among Korean Emerging Adults: Underlying Processes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this study, we investigated whether and how familism was linked to Korean emerging adults’ psychological adjustment (i.e., depressive symptoms and life satisfaction) through multiple mediators. Our mediators were two aspects of parent-child relationships—conformity to parental expectations and parent-child affection—and differentiation of self, a key concept in Bowen’s family systems theory. The data came from 420 South Korean university students who were 18 to 25 years old and had at least one living parent. Structural equation modeling showed that familism had both positive and negative indirect relationships with psychological adjustment depending upon the mediators. Through a greater willingness to conform to parental expectations and through less differentiation of self, familism had a negative indirect relationship with depressive symptoms and life satisfaction. However, through greater parent-child affection, familism had a positive indirect association with depressive symptoms and life satisfaction. Our findings suggest that familism plays complicated roles in Korean emerging adults’ psychological adjustment and that differentiation of self is a useful concept in explaining the underlying mechanism that connects familism with emerging adults’ psychological adjustment.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
