The purpose of present study is to discover the meaning of the Eogul(억울) which is known as a emotion from perceived unfairness. Even though Eogul has been mentioned as a cause of the Hwabyung in Korean culture there were few studies about it. Researchers designed two studies to provide clear understanding for this concept. In study 1, researchers conducted an open-ended questionnaire for 44 participants to deduce the cultural contexts and the whole experience on Eogul. Data were analyzed with grounded theory, the results were cross-checked by different evaluators. According to the analysis, Eogul is not only the negative feelings from the perceived unfairness, but also the motivations and behaviors to resolve the feelings. Especially, what makes Eogul culture-bounded could be related display rules on expressing emotions. We conducted study 2 to clarify the cultural attributes of Eogul in Korean culture. Variables that explain cultural differences were chosen and 123 participants were surveyed with them including the items developed for measuring Eogul. Cultural meanings and implications of Eogul were discussed with the results.

동의보감을보면 '비인다중풍(肥人多中風)'이라 하여 뚱뚱한 사람이 뇌졸중, 즉 중풍에 더 잘 걸린다고 나와 있다. 뚱뚱한 것도 억울할 판인데 중풍까지 더 잘 맞는다니. 평균수명이 증가하면서 노년을 팔팔하게 보내는 노인들이 많은 요즘, 억울해서라도 비만에서 탈출해야 할 듯하다. 왜 뚱뚱하면 중풍에 잘 걸리는지 그 이유를 알아본다.
