Data analysis was performed using the SPSS PASW 18.0 program. The results revealed that 56.7% of the subjects used contraceptives, and 23.9% used condoms. Male students were more exposed to sexual content than female students (t=6.02, p=0.000) and had an open sexual attitude (t=5.38, p=0.000). Female students showed high scores on subjective norms (t=-3.51 p=0.000) and acceptable and positive contraceptive attitudes (t=-4.21, p=0.000). Among factors influencing the contraceptive attitude of males, the subjective norm was 3.6%.

This study examined influencing factors on the attitudes toward elders with a focus on empathy. Data were gathered from 291 nurses working at 14 geriatric hospitals in Kyunggi-Do, Chungchung-Do and Incheon. In analyzing the data, Pearson correlation coefficients, t-test, ANOVA, and regression analysis were adopted. Attitudes toward elders were neutral on the average; those nurses revealed both positive and negative aspects such as friendly, good, kind, conservative, sick and dependent. Of the four empathy scales, only empathic concern revealed significant correlation with the attitudes toward elders. Regression model included empathic concern and the nurses' characteristics. Empathic concern was significant in predicting the attitudes toward elders after controlling for the effects of the nurses' characteristics. Experience of voluntary work for elders was the only predictor among individual characteristics. Explanatory power of the model was 10.7%. We need to develop intervention programs raising empathy among nurses. The instrument measuring empathy needs to be examined.

This paper conducted a survey targeting online Korean drama viewers in Vietnam and Philippines, to investigate the relationships between viewing motivations of Korean drama, general attitude toward Korean drama, and Korea's national image. Factor analyses found six viewing motivations of Korean drama, and the most powerful viewing motivation of Korean drama were entertainment/relaxation(Vietnam) and longing for actor(actress)(Philippines), respectively. In addition, two path analyses showed that viewing motivations had a significant influence on general attitude toward Korean drama. Longing for actor(actress) and entertainment/relaxation motivations were critical factors in both countries' paths, but habit motivation was negatively related to general attitude toward Korean drama. In case of Korea's national image, the results showed that the more positive general attitude toward Korean drama, the more positive images of national image. Conclusions, implications, and limitations were also discussed.

This research, which was conducted for dental hygienists, intended to check out what factors have an influence on their practices by knowledge and attitude on radiation safety management (RSM). This study performed a survey on such an issue from July 2 to August 30, 2012 for 220 dental hygienists who worked in Busan, Gyeongnam areas. The data was analysed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 program. The results were as follows: As a result of the knowledge according to the general characteristics and RSM, a statistically meaningful difference was found according to the education on radiation and wearing apron. As for the attitude according to the general characteristics and RSM, a statistically meaningful difference was found according to the education on radiation and wearing apron. As to the practice according to the general characteristics and RSM, a statistically meaningful difference was found according to the education on radiation, wearing thermo luminescent dosimeter and wearing apron. When the analysis of safety management practice for radiation was conducted with the independent variables such as knowledge, altitude and health concerns about radiography, it turned out that the factors having an effect on the practice were altitude and health concerns by that order.
