Technology adoption has been an important issue for researchers and practitioners. In this paper, we identified the relationships between intention of technology adoption and technological affinity and other psychometric characteristics. We believe that technology affinity may be one of the general psychometric traits of individuals, and thus people have a different affinity levels which may influence the technology adoption intention. As a result it was found that need for cognition and self efficacy had positive influence on technology affinity, and the affinity also positively affected adoption intention. In addition, it was also found that technology affinity displayed a mediating role for the consumers adoption intention with need for cognition and self efficacy.

This study examines the longitudinal trends regarding awareness of informatization, Information Technology (IT) use, and attitudes towards IT among older adults aged 60 or over. Surveys were conducted in 2004 and 2014 at senior welfare centers in Seoul, Korea. The trends between 2004 and 2014 showed that the rate of Internet use increased among older adults who lived alone, were aged 70 or over, had middle education level, had low income, or were unemployed. Older adults had positive attitudes towards IT, and users were more positive than non-users. The levels of IT use were low among users, and their reasons for IT use were for psychological, emotional, and practical purposes. For non-users of IT, their passive tendencies toward IT use and informatization were amplified. As such, the state of IT use and attitudes toward it among older adults in Seoul were longitudinally different, and the differences in awareness and ability between users and non-users tended to increase.

본 논문에서는 중학생의 인공지능에 대한 태도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 살펴보았다. 김성원과 이영준(2020)에서 개발한 중학생의 인공지능에 대한 태도 측정 검사 도구를 중학생에게 실시하고, 요인에 따른 태도 차이를 분석하였다. 중학생의 인공지능에 대한 태도는 성별에 따른 차이는 존재하지 않았다. 또한, 학년과 인공지능 교육 경험도 중학생의 인공지능에 대한 태도에 영향을 주지 않았다. 반면에 인공지능에 대한 직·간접적인 경험이 있는 중학생은 경험이 없는 학생보다 인공지능에 대한 태도가 긍정적이었다. 마지막으로 인공지능에 대한 관심이 높을수록 인공지능에 대한 태도가 긍정적으로 나타났다. 후속 연구에서는 중학생의 인공지능에 대한 태도를 긍정적 변화시키기 위한 교육 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.

In this study, science teachers' perception and attitude toward nanotechnology are examined through questionnaires gathered from 134 secondary science teachers. As a result, the study shows that science teachers have high perceptiveness. However, they do not understand specific information on nanotechnology correctly. Science teachers have positive attitudes toward nanotechnology and they have perceived risks of nanotechnology as well as benefits of nanotechnology. Science teachers show positive attitudes toward the application of nanotechnology, whereas they show negative attitudes toward personal information chip and nano-taste enhancer. Science teachers are exposed to nanotechnology via various sources such as TV and internet, whereas teachers rarely get information on nanotechnology-related concepts in textbooks and teaching resources. Science teachers have perceived many textbooks do not introduce enough nanotechnology-related concepts. Many teachers try to explain the nanotechnology when textbooks include nanotechnology-related concepts, whereas quite a few of teachers do not introduce the nanotechnology-related concepts in class.

The purpose of this study, we examined the influencing factors of acceptance of new information systems and attitude formation in 279 local government officials who were exposed to the use of new information technology, and examined the moderating role of technostress and absorptive capacity. As a result, technostress negatively affected attitudes by moderating perceived ease of use, and absorptive capacity generated a positive effect that further increased perceived usefulness. Technostress and absorptive capacity have both direct and moderating effects on attitudes. It suggests that management of technostress and absorptive capacity, which affects the formation of attitudes toward information technology acceptance, becomes more important for local government officials who need to accept new information technology through Top-Down decision making. In particular, we discussed ways to reduce technostress in order to prevent cognitive dissonance about determinants of technology acceptance.

Today's economy is becoming more and more convergence between different industries as the demarcation of the boundaries of all areas is leading to innovations such as mobile and social network services. So Fin-tech is a new technology that can combine the advantages of mobile and Internet with the technology revolution to easily handle financial and IT tasks. This Fin-tech is a compound word of finance and technology. The purpose of this study is to investigate the overall structural relationship between Fin-Tech use motivation (usefulness, enjoyment) on user attitude and word of mouth intention. In addition, we investigated how FinTech use motivation, user attitude, and word of mouth intention change according to innovation resistance tendency. And, we examined how the motivation, user attitude, and word of mouth intention of FinTech change according to the message type (rational and emotional). The main results of this study are as follows. First, the usefulness and enjoyment of motivation for using FinTech have a positive effect on user attitude, and user attitude also has a positive effect on word of mouse intention. Second, the relationship between FinTech use motivation, user attitude, and word of mouth intention was found to difference according to consumers' innovation resistance. Third, it was found that the relationship between FinTech use motivation, user attitude, and word of mouth intention differs according to type of message (rational, emotional). At the conclusion of the study, the summary of the research results, implications and limitations, and future research direction are described.

There are many landslides occurred by typhoons and intense rainfall during the summer seasons in Korea. To predict a landslide triggering it is important to understand mechanisms and potential areas of landslides by the geological approaches. However, recent climate changes make difficult to predict landslide based on only conventional prediction methods. Therefore, the importance of a real-time monitoring of landslide using various sensors is emphasized in recent. Many researchers have studied monitoring techniques of landslides and suggested several monitoring systems which can be applicable to the natural terrain. Most sensors of landslide monitoring measure slope displacement, hydrogeologic properties of soils and rocks, changes of stress in soil and rock fractures, and rainfall amount and intensity. The measured values of each sensor are transmitted to a monitoring server in real-time. The ultimate goal of landslide monitoring is to warn landslide occurrence in advance and to reduce damages induced by landslides. This study introduces the current situation of landslide monitoring techniques in each country.

This study was conducted to identify the relationship between sleep quality, stress, depression, and eating attitudes of shift work nurses, and to determine the influencing factors of eating attitudes. Participants were 152 shift work nurses working at a university hospital and data collection was performed from July 1 to July 20, 2021. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. In this study, the prevalence of abnormal eating attitudes at clinical and sub-clinical levels was 7.9% and 19.1%, respectively. There was a positive correlation between eating attitudes and depression, and the influencing factors of eating attitudes were alcohol drinking(1 time/month) and depression. Therefore, it is necessary to find strategies to prevent depression in order to improve the eating attitude of nurses working in shifts, and repeated research on the relevance of alcohol drinking and eating attitudes is needed.
