부산지역 청소년 음성의 지속시간, 피치주파수 포만트 주파수 특성을 연령별, 성별로 분석하였다. 실제 발음 환경에서의 음성 패턴은 발성화자 개인 및 화자별로 다양하게 변화한다. 이를 모델 화하기 위해서는 다량의 음성 데이터로부터 통계적 방법에 의한 변화 요인별 파라미터 분석이 선행되어야 할 것이다. 실험에 사용된 데이터는 부산지역에 거주하는 청소년(초등학생, 중학생, 고등학생)들이 연령별로 3회 발성한 우화의 일부와 단모음(/아/,/이/,/우/,/에/,/오/)이다 실험 결과로부터 얻어진 지속시간, 주파수 특성 변화 패턴을 연령별, 성별로 구분하여 통계적으로 분석한 뒤 이를 정량화 하였다. 실험 결과로부터 부산 지역 청소년 음성의 지속시간, 주파수 특성은 예측된 바와 같이 기 연구된 성인 음성과 많은 차이를 보였으며 이는 부산 지역 방언의 DB 구축 시 설계자가 고려해야 할 기초자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.

This study was to find out children's Negotiation Levels(NLs) according to their age and gender. The subjects for this study were 143 children of 7, 9, 12 years. Two children dyads participated in the experimental play situation with Rokenbok Electronic Toy Systems. The NLs in children's interactive dialogue & actions were scored with Stone, Robinson & Taylor(1980)'s 'Negotiation of Task Completion Coding Manual'. They were coded into Level 0(no interaction), Level l(one way interaction), Level 2(reciprocally interaction), Level 3(mutual or cooperative interaction). The results were as follows; 1) 12-year-old children negotiated with higher level than 7-and 9-year old children 2) Boys' NLs average were higher than girls'. These results imply that 1) the fluctuation of NLs in childhood, especially around 10 years, should be interpreted carefully, 2) various measuring kits for negotiation should be developed considering children's characteristics, such as age, gender etc.

In order to explore the impact of gender in the effects of age, temperament, and parenting on preschoolers' psychosocial problems, 339 preschoolers, 3-5 year old, were assessed using parent report measures of externalizing and internalizing behavior problems, temperament, and parenting. The results of ANOVA and hierarchical regression analyses are as follows. First, the main effects of age and gender for externalizing problems and the interaction effect of age and gender for internalizing problems were significant. Second, the important predictors of preschoolers' internalizing and externalizing problems were different by gender. In boys, Novelty Seeking(NS), Harm Avoidance(HA), and hostile parenting significantly predicted both problems. In girls, NS, HA, and warm parenting significantly predicted both problems. In addition, girls were more strongly influenced by parenting whereas boys were more influenced by their temperaments. The results of this study highlight some important suggestions for prevention strategies for preschoolers' behavioral problems. The implications and limitations of this study were further discussed.

This study aims to examine the differences of Humor Preferences and Uses by the distinction of sex and age. For this purpose, an experimental survey was analyzed. The major findings of this analysis could be summarized like as follows: There is few significant difference in the sex distinction, although men prefer aggressive humor more than women. But there are significant differences in the distinction of age. The teenagers prefer nonverbal humor compare to other ages, and the over forties prefer verbal humor. There are also significant differences of humor uses between age groups. The under twenties use humor more than over thirties. This study deliberates on the reason why there are significant differences of humor preferences and uses in the distinction of age. This study suggests one of the reasons which is related with face consciousness of korean.

Classification of age and gender has been carried out through different approaches such as facial-based and audio-based classifications. One of the limitations of facial-based methods is the reduced recognition rate over large distances, while another is the prerequisite of the faces to be located in front of the camera. Similarly, in audio-based methods, the recognition rate is reduced in a noisy environment. In contrast, gait-based methods are only required that a target person is in the camera. In previous works, the view point of a camera is only available as a side view and gait data sets consist of a standard gait, which is different from an ordinary gait in a real environment. We propose a feature extraction method using skeleton models from an RGB-D sensor by considering characteristics of age and gender using ordinary gait. Experimental results show that the proposed method could efficiently classify age and gender within a target group of individuals in real-life environments.

A population decline in rural area is correlated with the number of household, with agricultural workers, as a result, affects the farming income. Agricultural population is a foundation of agriculture structure. Agricultural population decline influences agricultural policies to be implemented for the future and there is concern about slowdown in productivity. The purpose of this study is to build the ability to use the model and conduct applied analyses of various kinds and to make rational agricultural policies by forecasting and analyzing agricultural population change. Unlike previous studies, which have some assumptions about the giving-up farming rate (GFR) of the key points on the agricultural population model or, After estimating only one equation with respect to the total population, and then distribute by sex and age. This study was conducted to investigate the reactions are different from the farmhouse, gender, age by estimating giving-up farming rate (GFR) equations each gender & age. Through this research, we can find that Farm Population changes of the simulation can be performed for a variety of agricultural policy in conjunction with existing agricultural simulation models as well.

This paper quantitatively calculated the speech frequency of the discourse markers 'a', 'eo', and 'eum' and the speech duration of these discourse markers using the Seoul Corpus, a spontaneous speech corpus. The sound durations were confirmed with Praat, the Seoul Corpus was analyzed with Emeditor, and the results were presented by statistical analysis with R. Based on the corpus analysis, the study investigated whether a particular factor is preferred by speakers of particular categories. The most prominent feature of the corpus is that the sound durations of female speakers were longer than those of men when using the 'eum' discourse marker in a final position. In age-related variables, teenagers uttered 'a' more than 'eo' in an initial position when compared to people in their 40s. This study is significant because it has quantitatively analyzed the discourse markers 'a', 'eo', and 'eum' by gender and age. In order to continue the discussion, more precise research should be conducted considering the context. In addition, similarities can be found in "e" and "ma" in Japanese(Watanabe & Ishi, 2000) and 'uh', 'um' in English(Gries, 2013). afterwards, a study to identify commonalities and differences can be predicted by using the cross-linguistic analysis of the discourse.

Prevalence of refractive error have revealed variation in relation to ethnicity, educational level, age, gender, and social economic status. Especially prevalence of refractive error varies by country, estimation of prevalence of refractive error have shown increase in Asia than in Western world. The present report aimed to investigate the prevalence of refractive errors by the age and gender in Korean population without eye disease. A total of 960 subjects were sampled and their refractive error was determined using Auto refractometer. Prevalence of emmetropia was 29% and that for myopia and hyperopia was 67%, 4%, respectively. Astigmatism was 22%, and the simple astigmatism was 1%. However the compound astigmatism was 99%. Prevalence of refractive errors differed significantly among age and gender group in our results. The percentages of with-the-rule, against-the-rule and oblique astigmatism among people with astigmatism were 36.6%, 20.7% and 42.7% for right eye and 31.8%, 10% and 58.1% for left eye.

Previous studies indicate that depression is strongly correlated with suicide, suggesting that individuals with higher levels of depression are more likely to commit suicide. Statistical data, however, show that depression is more prevalent among females whereas suicidal incidents are much higher among males. Using the 1st Seoul Welfare Panel Data, this study aims to examine the association between depression and suicidal attitudes and further examine whether there is gender and age difference in the relationship. Sample consists of 7,396 individuals aged 18 and over. Research questions were answered through the structural equation modeling(SEM) and multi-group SEM. The results showed that (1) depression is significantly associated with suicidal attitudes, replicating the previous findings, (2) the association was much higher among males than females, suggesting that depressed males are more vulnerable to suicide than depressed females, and (3) the gender difference was primarily caused by the group of women aged 65 and over. Based on these findings, implications for theory and practice were discussed.
