Flexible display interface is capable of creating new user behaviors based on its characteristics of outstanding surface representation and display transformations such as bending, rolling, and folding. Thus, it is being discussed that the newly emerging flexible display interface can offer a different user experience that the previous flat display couldn't. However, as it is hard to find studies that identify the general attributes of user experience in the area of flexible display research, this study was intended to identify and label experience that users expect in a flexible display interface. For this purpose, this study first investigated literature reviews about user experience in previous digital media interface and flexible display interface and conducted interview research in order to reflect the users' perception, collecting 52 items that represent user experience. In addition, these items were used as measurements to deduct different types of user experience, and 308 interviewees participated in the interview research process. As a result, 10 types of user experience were developed from the results of the survey: functionality, understandability, pleasure, convenience, familiarity, stimulation, adaptability, collectivity, reality, and aesthetic.

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of North Korea defectors' living experiences in South Korea on their self-perceptions and perceptions of South Korea. For this purpose, a questionnaire was distributed to 66 defectors with no living experiences at all and 99 defectors with living experiences of an average of 2.7 years in South Korea. They were asked to rate their own as well as South Koreans' values, personality, attitudes toward sexual misbehavior, gender stereotypes. Also, they evaluated the society of South Korea and its political control. The results indicated that those defectors with living experiences tended to perceive more negatively their own and South Koreans as well, and yet that they were less negative for sexual misbehavior and weaker for gender stereotypes. Also, results suggested that living experiences led defectors to perceive South Korea in a more negative way. Those findings were discussed in terms of changes in culture.

새로운 시스템의 수용은 대부분의 경우 유용성이나 사용용이성과 같은 이성적인 평가와 함께 기존 시스템 사용에 대한 무의식적인 습관에 따라 결정된다. 흥미롭게도 기존 시스템에 대한 습관의 효과는 상이한 방향을 가질 수 있다. 어떤 경우에는 전환비용 때문에 부정적이 될 수도 있지만 어떤 경우에는 현 시스템에 대한 풍부한 경험 때문에 긍정적인 효과를 보일 수도 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 시스템에 대한 습관과 새로운 시스템에 대한 판단 간의 관계가 새로운 시스템에 대한 직접 경험에 따라 달라질 수 있음을 가설로 제시하였다. 즉, 새로운 시스템에 대한 경험이 없으면 부정적인 관계가 되겠지만 경험이 있는 경우에는 긍정적인 관계가 될 수도 있다. 이 가설들에 대한 타당성을 보여 주기 위해 168명의 우리나라 대학생들을 대상으로 실증적 검증을 하였다. 수용 대상은 구글 닥스(Google Docs) 이었고 조사에 참여한 학생들은 이전에 구글 닥스에 대한 경험을 가지고 있지 않았다. 조사 참여자 전부에게 구글 닥스에 대한 특성을 설명한 뒤 임의로 두 그룹으로 나눈 다음 한 그룹은 구글 닥스를 실제 사용할 기회를 주었고 다른 그룹에게는 주지 않았다. 결과적으로 경험을 한 그룹은 기존 시스템에 대한 습관과 새로운 시스템에 대한 주관적 판단 간에 부정적인 관계를 보인 반면 경험이 없는 그룹은 긍정적인 관계를 보였다.
