This study aims to provide evidence for supporting the families of people in prison, through understanding their families who have suffered for their imprisonment This research was conducted with seven family members with their spouse, son or daughter, or sibling in prison. The Giorigi's approach of analysis for the phenomenological qualitative research was used to explore the essence of the experiences of prisoners' families. This qualitative research drew five components on the basis of the experiences of prisoners' families : 'Living with the bridle named as the family of a prisoner', 'The pain having to hide from the public', 'Having ambivalence', and 'condemn the sin, but no the sinner', 'Picking oneself up'. The essential subjection of their experiences was interpreted into 'Face life, , with being under a yoke'. The findings suggest that the practical intervention of social welfare is needed to support the psychological, emotional, and social recovery of the prisoners' families.

This study investigated the impacts of the experience attributes of JJALBANG broadcast images on satisfaction with 221 viewers in their 20s and analyzed the mediation effect of flow. The results are: First, their experience attributes affected flow, not directly affecting satisfaction while flow directly affected satisfaction. Second, securing flow was an important predictor for connecting experience attributes to satisfaction through the effect resolution. Flow alone can predict satisfaction, so its impact on experience is very important. Visual attribute had the greatest influence on flow and satisfaction, followed by situation, information, and interaction, which affected satisfaction through flow. This study found the importance of full mediation effect of flow and got implications for effectively providing experience and flow in strategies for viewing JJALBANG.

This is a scientific study of subjectivity on recognition types and preferences of animation audience. Therefore, Q-methodology was used as a methodology of this study. As a result, it was possible to find the various characteristics according to the preferences of audience on animation genres. The features of each type were classified into 3 types. First was an artistic and literary value-oriented type that explored storytelling and descriptive value. Second was a pictorial and aesthetic value-oriented type that explored visual beauty such as characters and Mise en scene. Third was a visual and entertainment value-oriented type that explored entertainment factors and attractions. Thus, according to the classification of preference types, it was inferred that digital image generation audience with an active preference that can create and consume images have developed a tendency that independently consumed their preferences based on thoroughly personal or subjective preferences rather than classified and accepted their preferred culture as their symbolic expressions of hierarchical position. In this aspect, Q-methodological consideration that is useful to analyze the subjectivity of audience could be a significant work. Nevertheless, this study alone could not reveal various generative contexts of specific preferences. It seems to have more significant results by applying various qualitative or quantitative methodologies together with this study and analyzing recognition types and preferences of audience.

This experimental research explores effect of cognition desire as audience's factor, and attention as context factor on audience's acquirement of information and understanding. Most previous researches of media effect focuses on news contents of TV, Newpaper and Internet. However the number of researches on TV documentary which contains lots of information very limited, and It's difficult to find researches on effect of cognition desire and attention on audience. Therefore this research tries to find effect of cognition desire and attention on audience's acquirement of information and understanding through experiment of TV current documentary. For this experimental research, 2 groups of subjects composed of 135 university students were exposed to 2 different viedeo clips of TV current documantary, one with window buzz, the other without it, after designing cognition desire as internal factor of 2 groups. Questions which were designed to measure cognition desire, acquirement of information and understanding of message were asked and analysed. This research found that subjects with higher degeree of cognition desire showed higher degree of acquirement of information and understanding than subjects with lower degree of cognition desire. However the effect of attention on audience's acquirement of information and understanding could not be found.

Although the study in If behavior field has recently increased, only few studies have focused on the moderating effect of adopter type on the post adoption behavior The purpose of this study is to verify the post-adoption behavior depending on adopter types in the mobile Internet domains. This study proposed a post adoption model based on prior continuance model. This theoretical model was verified empirically by conducting web surveys and multi group analysis. Based on the survey data, we classified users into continuer and discontinuer. This paper ends with theoretical and managerial implications of the study results, as well as limitations and future research directions.

This research is an attempt to investigate cultural identity at the international level. Asia is one of the weakest communities in the world due to discrepancies in terms of political, economic, social and cultural aspects. Additionally, Asia has never been independent in communication flows since imperialist history until the Korean wave emerged at the turn of this century. The Korean wave reflects complex power embedded in postcolonial world in addition to cultural commonality among Asian audiences. I have conducted audience researches on Korean drama fandom in Japan and China. I adopt Lacanian psychoanalysis in order to interpret identity issues of Asian media audiences. Particularly, Deleuze and Guattari's theories are useful to scrutinize group identity of Asian community. Additionally, I refer to theories of nationalism.

This is an experimental research with the theoretical background of agenda setting effect and elaboration likelihood model studying 'whether visual cues such as imagery and subtitle of TV environmental news have effect on the viewers' perception?', 'whether visual cues such as imagery and subtitle of TV environmental news have differential effect on the viewers' perception, depending on the viewers' involvement in the environmental issue?'. This experimental research found that the more highly exposed subjects considers environment issue more important than the less exposed, during the process, visual cues such as imagery and subtitle in TV news have an effect on agenda setting. Futhermore visual cues such as imagery and subtitle have stronger effect on the perception of the less involved than that of the more highly involved as a unified peripheral cue. However the effect of environmental involvement as independent peripheral cue couldn't have meaningful statistical support. Despite the fact that many previous researchers have shown that verbal cues of TV news have effect on the perception of viewers, little attempt has been made to investigate effect of visual cues on the TV viewers' perception. Therefore, this research has an important implication as an early proof in a new stream of visual agenda setting and elaboration research.

본 연구의 목적은 공항 세금 환급시스템의 혁신적 특성과 중국인 탑승객의 개인 통제신념이 수용 의도에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 계획된 행동이 세금환급을 받으려는 의도에 미치는 영향에 대해 이론적으로 고찰하고 분석하였다. 공항에서 세금환급시스템을 이용한 경험이 있는 중국인 탑승객 343명을 대상으로 자료를 수집하였다. 실증 분석 결과, 시스템 혁신적 특성에서 상대적 이점, 적합성 및 복잡성이 높고, 인식된 위험이 낮을수록, 개인 통제신념에서 행동신념, 규범신념 및 통제신념이 높을수록 이용자의 수용의도가 높은 것으로 판명되었다. 이용자 채택 단계에 따른 수용 의도 간의 차이를 분석한 결과, 초기 수용자 집단이 후기 수용자 집단보다 수용 의도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이용자의 채택 단계에 따라 수용 의도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 차이가 있었는데, 초기 수용자 집단에서는 시스템 혁신적 특성 중 적합성과 개인 통제신념이 중요한 변수였으며, 후기 수용자 집단에서는 시스템 혁신 특성 중 인식된 위험과 규범신념을 제외한 개인의 통제신념이 중요한 변수로 분석되었다. 따라서 공항 세금 환급시스템에 대한 초기 수용자들에게는 더 많은 확신을 줄 필요가 있으며, 후기 수용자들에게는 지각된 위험을 감소시켜 주어야 할 것이다.
