The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of adolescents' Internet Usage Levels on their oral symptoms using the data from 60,040 students in the 14th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey in 2018. The logistic regression for the effects of Internet Usage Level on the oral symptoms were analyzed using a logistic regression method. Symptoms of toothache when eating and throbbing symptoms, and gum pain symptoms showed high levels of stress, and high awareness of pain when lower daily frequency of tooth-brushing. In addition, the less time spent on the Internet, the more subjective health awareness, the higher sleep satisfaction, the less smoking and drinking experience, Results were significantly lower. In conclusion, health education that mitigates adolescents' excessive use of the Internet is believed to enable proper health practices and is intended to help develop health education programs that can prevent such oral symptoms.

컴퓨터 네트워크의 발달로 인터넷이 실생활이 되면서, 온라인에서 인스턴트 메신저를 이용한 커뮤니케이션 방식이 확대되고 있다. 이러한 메신저에서는 이모티콘 및 플래시콘 혹은 윙크 등 과 같은 다양한 방식을 통해 감정을 표현할 수 있도록 제안하고 있다. 하지만, 아직까지 온라인의 감정표현은 흥미위주이며, 오프라인의 다양한 감정표현에 비해서 제한적이다 따라서 오프라인에서의 다양한 사용자 감정표현을 온라인에서 표현해 줄 수 있는 새로운 형태의 감성 커뮤니케이션 방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 온라인 인스턴트 메신저의 사용행태 이해를 통해서 사용자들의 요구사항을 파악하고 이를 통해 제안할 수 있는 커뮤니케이션 방법을 모색하고자 한다. 실생활에서 사용자의 감정표현 방법을 바탕으로 온라인 메신저에 적용하여 새로운 감성 커뮤니케이션 방법을 제안하는 연구로, 감정어휘와 표현방법의 사용자 조사를 통해 감정표현 방법에 대한 컨셉을 제안하였다. 우선 메신저 사용 행태와 요구사항 도출을 위한 사용자 FGI를 진행하였다. 사용자 FGI로 얻어진 사용자들의 메신저 사용행태를 통해, 텍스트와 모션을 활용하는 '텍스트콘'을 컨셉 아이디어로 도출하였다. 아이디어에 적용하기 위해 모션을 감정으로 인해 파생되는 행동과 체감각 요소로 구분하였다. 구체적인 표현방법 및 적용 요소를 추출하기 위한 방법으로 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였으며 감정어휘와 표현방법(행동, 체감각)을 추출하였다. 추출된 내용은 '사용자 참여 관찰' 기법을 활용하여, 사용어휘와 행동을 정리하고 구제화하여 그 결과를 '텍스트콘'에 적용하였다. 본 연구는 사용자들이 메신저를 이용한 감정표현에 있어 텍스트를 선호하고 텍스트에 대한 요구사형에 있음을 확인하였으며, 감정표현 컨셉 아이디어 '텍스트콘'을 도출하였다. '사용자 참여 관찰' 기법을 활용하여 기존의 이모티콘으로 대표되는 그래픽 아이콘 중심의 사용자 감정표현 방법을 보조해줄 수 있는 방법으로 실생활에서 사용자가 표현하고 받아들이는 신체언와 행동을 적용하였다는 것에 그 의의가 있다. 또한, 감정에 의한 생리적 반응 요소를 외적인 반응과 내적인 반응으로 구분하여, '체감각'이라고 하는 내적반응을 중심표현방법으로 삼아, 기존과는 다른 시각으로 접근할 수 있었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of adolescent health behavior on obesity using an online health behavior survey. The subjects of this study were 12,090 middle school students and 14,248 high school students among 26,338 Korean youths that responded to an online survey of youth health behaviors in 2018 (14th). There were significant differences in lifestyle, mental factors, exercise habits, and sitting habits as health behavior factors. The risk of obesity was higher in smokers (p<0.001), drinkers (p<0.001), those who ate breakfast less than four times a week (p<0.001), those who consumed fruit less than four times a week (p<0.001) and those who ate fast food less than two times a week (p<0.001). The obesity rate was higher in people with high-stress (p<0.05). Exercise habit as a factor was higher in the obesity rate than in physical activity by three times as much (p<0.001), whereas students categorized as muscular (p<0.01) had one to two times more physical activity (p<0.001). Students who had less than six hours of learning purpose were found to have higher obesity rates than those with more than six hours of learning purpose (p<0.001). In conclusion, the obesity rate did not increase with prolonged sitting habits, but did increase with longer sitting time except for those who studied purpose folly. Therefore, it is necessary to have a set time for internet use, as well as to educate schools about proper lifestyle, and to promote healthy exercise habits.

The purpose of this study is to grasp the internet use time that young people use for purposes other than learning purpose, to grasp the perceived status of the youth according to internet use time and to grasp the interrelationships of them. Using the 2016 youth health behavior online survey, the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of perceived status according to internet use time were calculated by binary logistic regression analysis. The main results are as follows. In perceived health and perceived oral health the odds ratios of perceived who feel that they are perceived and unhealthy as the time spent using the Internet increased significantly compared to those who did not use the Internet for learning purposes. In the perceived body type, the odds ratio of being overweight increased significantly with longer internet use time. The odds ratios of perceived happiness were 1.19 times (CI = 1.10-1.30) higher than the perceived expectation of unhappiness when using the Internet for over 300 minutes. The use of the internet for a long time other than the purpose of learning may have a negative effect on the health and happiness of the youth, so we think that the recommended time for using the internet is necessary.

The objective of this research is to identify the factors which influence users' intention to use mobile Internet. There are lots of researches based on Technology Acceptance Model trying to identify the factors which have influence on accepting mobile Internet and its related services. These researches, however, have some limitation in the sense that they focus only on the features of mobile Internet itself while users make overall decision after the comparison of a new service channel with existing service channels in many directions. Therefore, we are going to analyze the impact of users' perception on the difference between mobile and stationary Internet toward their intention to use mobile Internet. We identified the features like ubiquitous availability, context awareness, compatibility, friendliness, and economic value from literature review and developed a structural model about the impact of users' perception on the differences of these features between mobile and stationary Internet toward their intention to use mobile Internet through mediate variables such as perceived ease of use, perceived playfulness, and perceived usefulness. After that, we conducted an experimental analysis for the model, and addressed a solution to rev up the usage of mobile Internet based on the results of the analysis.

Although searching service is popularized in the PC-based internet environment, it is not (or rarely) supported on TV, which is the major multimedia equipment in the living room. Several trials are made to port established PC-based searching systems onto TV-set but failed to get popularity among viewers as they did not consider the viewers' modality. Operating the searching system should not disturb viewers in watching TV (for example, TV screen should not be (even partially) covered by the searching system's graphics) and the number of pushing the remote controller's buttons should be minimized so that viewers can keep watching TV without glancing at the searching system's graphics. In this paper, the author introduces a new searching system running on TV-set, which is designed to reflect properly the viewers' modality. The searching system is also compatible with the data service standard adopted by the domestic broadcasting networks so that it can be easily implemented by them.
