The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between communication patterns and marital satisfaction of elderly men and women. The participants of this study were 206 elderly (60 years and older), and they were all recruited in Seoul. The major findings of this study are as follows: First, the communication patterns of elderly men and women were affected significantly by background variables, self-esteem, and personality style. Second, marital satisfaction was affected significantly by background variables, self-esteem, and personality style. Self-esteem was the major factor that had significant impact on the marital satisfaction for all respondents. Third, there was a gender difference in the impact of background variables, self-esteem, and communication pattern on marital satisfaction. For elderly men, the factors affecting marital satisfaction were, in decreasing order, constructive communication, destructive communication, self-esteem, and economic condition, whereas for elderly women, the factors were, in decreasing order, constructive communication, self-esteem and destructive communication.

This study investigated effects of parent-related variables on children's coping with stress. Subjects were 409 4th, 5th, and 6th grade children(213 boys and 196 girls) selected from three elementary schools in Seoul and Incheon. Data were analyzed by frequency, mean, and hierachical multiple regression. Major findings were that among the inter-parental conflicts perceived by the children, self-blame and triangulation affects children's coping behavior resulting in children's aggressive and passive/avoidant behaviors. The more children experience parent-related stress, the more children show aggressive and passive/avoidant coping behaviors. With more open-communication in parent-child relations, children's coping shows more active and social support seeking coping behaviors during stress situations.

This study investigated the relationships among college students' internalizing/externalizing problems, parent-child communication, and college adjustment. The participants were 281 freshmen and sophomores (103 males and 178 females) from a university in Gyeongbuk Province. A self-report survey questionnaire was used to measure parent-child communication, adjustment to college life, and the student's internalizing/externalizing problems. Data were analyzed by t-test, and single and multiple regressions. The results were as follows: (1) The college students' communication with parents was negatively associated with their internalizing/externalizing problems. (2) The college students' communication with parents was positively associated with adjustment to college life. (3) The students' adjustment to college life was negatively associated with their internalizing/externalizing problems. (4) The college students' communication with parents partly or fully exerted indirect effects on the students' internalizing/externalizing problems, mediated by their adjustment to college life.

Club activities play an important role for college students in adapting to their college life. This study was therefore undertaken to investigate the effects of club activities on the communication skills and self-leadership of nursing students. Convenience sampling method was applied for 147 students enrolled in the nursing department of university in D city, of which 119 subjects participated in club activities. Data was collected from October 15 to November 30, 2019, and analyzed by applying 𝑥² test, t-test, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis, using the IBM SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. Results: Communication skill and self-leadership were above the middle level. Depending on the club activities, significant differences were obtained for grade (𝑥²=8.07, p=0.045), major satisfaction (𝑥²=8.26, p=0.010), and communication skill and behavior-focused strategies (t=4.48, p=0.036). Factors affecting communication skill were behavior-focused strategies, constructive thought pattern strategies, and activeness amongst club activities. Therefore, the numerous club activity experiences of subjects helped improve the communication skill which, in turn, helps improve self-leadership. Our study indicates the necessity to seek an educational strategy that encourages active club activities of nursing students, for improving the core competencies of professional nurses, encompassing communication skills and self-leadership.

인간과 의사소통 및 상호작용함에 있어 휴머노이드 로봇은 그 외형이 인간에게 친숙해야 할 뿐만 아니라 그 행동역시 인간과 유사해야 한다. 인간의 상체 동작과 유사한 동작은 인간과의 의사소통에 있어 매우 중요하다. 인간의 동작과 유사한 동작을 수학적인 식을 통하여 생성해 내기는 매우 힘들다. 수학적 모델을 개발하려는 노력과는 달리 최근에는 모션캡쳐 장비로부터 동작데이터를 획득하고, 그 데이터를 휴머노이드 로봇에 입력하는 연구가 진행되어왔다. 하지만, 로봇과 인간이 의사소통함에 있어서 필요한 모든 데이터를 모션캡쳐 장비로 획득하여 저장해 놓기는 불가능 하다. 또한, 동작을 통하여 의미를 전달하는 의사소통의 경우에 상대방과 분위기에 따라 동작의 방향이나 크기를 달리할 필요가 있다. 이 논문에서는 의미가 있는 동작을 모션캡쳐 장비로부터 획득하고, 휴머노이드 로봇에 맞게 변환한 다음, 그 데이터를 상황에 맞게 실시간으로 변형하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법을 몇가지 동작에 적용하여 그 실효성을 검정하였다.

Demand/withdraw communication is an important dysfunctional pattern of serial arguing. This study aims at addressing factors that affect the ways in which self-demand/partner-withdraw pattern increases the likelihood of persistence of serial arguing. We posit that sensitivity to rejection is positively related to the degree to which individuals perceive a partners' behavior as generally disconfirming, which is positively related to enactment of self-demand/partner-withdraw during an argumentative episode. This sequence is positively related to perception of arguments as unresolved. In addition, among those who reported their argument was resolved, this sequence is positively related to the likelihood that the argument is resolved without mutual agreement. Serial mediation analysis confirmed that the likelihood of resolution without mutual agreement were positively associated with rejection sensitivity partially because high RS individuals are likely to perceive their partner to be generally disconfirming and to enact self-demand/partner-withdraw communication during the episode. However, this pattern did not apply to perception of the argument as resolved.

웨어러블 컴퓨터는 사용자를 중심으로 의복과 기술이 결합된 기기로서 직관적이며 유연한 인터페이스가 요구된다. 현재 직관적인 입력방식으로 음성인식과 동작인식에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 동작인식의 경우 손동작을 이용한 장갑형태가 가장 많으며, 대부분 사용자 행동의 의미를 고려하지 않은 인위적인 제스처로 학습을 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 사용자가 일상적으로 하는 행동에서 의미를 추출하고, 웨어러블 컴퓨터의 인터페이스로서 적용가능성을 보고자 한다. 행동은 자극에 대한 신체의 움직임이다. 문헌을 통하여 신체의 움직임에 대한 66개의 동사를 추출하고 구체적인 움직임에 구문조사를 실시하였다. 조사된 구문에 대한 상황과 의미를 조사한 결과 행동은 의미에 따라 감정표현, 의사전달, 정보교류, 자기제어, 기기제어, 무의식적, 의례적의 7가지로 분류할 수 있었다. 그 중 의사소통과 대상을 제어하기 위한 행동을 중심으로 접근하였다. 행동의 의미와 현재 사용되고 있는 UI의 의미를 비교하여 인터페이스를 대응시켜 보았다.

Unlike other common forms of speech disorder, such as phonological disorder or dysphonia, stuttering has not been studied within the context of music therapy. Most cases of stuttering display no difficulty in singing, and fluency within the musical structure does not translate to fluency in speech. Hence, musical approach has been generally considered to be ineffective to the treatment of stuttering. However, the fundamentals of music therapy assume its extensive application in treating variety of speech disorders, including the case of stuttering. Presented in this paper are the case studies designed to validate the efficacy of music therapy as a remedy for stuttering. This study enrolled 6 children with stuttering and conducted 20 individual sessions over a period of 10 weeks. The sessions focused on the Melodic Intonation Therapy, Reinforcement of speech rhythm, song writing and singing. Musical elements were structured to enhance the verbal expression and rhythmic senses, as well as to facilitate the initiation of verbal communication. The result is as follows. First, it was noticed that the disfluency had been decreased in before and after of the music therapy in every child although the result was somewhat different depending the child. The overall result of the investigation shows the significant difference statistically. And categorically speaking, the significant difference was checked in the frequency of the stuttering. In the steps of the session, the increase and decrease was happened repeatedly, and then after it was decreased little by little. Secondly, the Communication Attitude was decreased in before and after of the music therapy, and also there was significant difference statistically. although the avoidance behavior was decreased in before and after of the music therapy, the increase and the decrease was repeated irregularly in the steps of session. All the results described above shows that music therapy gives positive effect to decrease in disfluency of stuttering child and also to develop the Communication Attitude. And new possibility and effectiveness can be proposed in the musical approach to the stuttering.
