- Abstract
- This study aims at examining generational differences and determinants of identity of the family separated between South and North Koreas. The primary dataset for this study came from a probability sample of 510 separated families interviewed in a survey conducted at a national level between September and November, 2006. To measure systematically identity of the separated family, I translated into Korean the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure, a measured developed by Phinney and the most widely used as a measure of ethnic identity in the United States, and selected six question items out of original 12 items after deleting redundant ones. Main findings are as follows. Members of the separated family do not have a strong sense of identification and attachment as the separated family. Although many respondents know how they were separated and backgrounds of the family separation, only less than half of the respondents try to know about the history, tradition, and customs of the separated family, participate actively in the organizations and social groups that consist of the separated family, and have pride and a sense of belonging in the separated family. The second generation have a significantly lower level of identity of the separated family than the parent generation. That is due to passive socialization in the separated family where the parents do not teach enthusiastically their children about the home villages, relatives, and experience in the North, do not emphasize that they are the separated family, and do not encourage their children to participate in social groups and organizations that consist of the separated family.
