This study purposed to examine the effects of the Feuerstein's cognitive mediated learning for gifted children on attention control and attention shift. For the study, 40 gifted students were chosen from the 3rd graders in elementary schools and divided into test and control groups using K-WISC-III and Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. The mediated learning program that is targeted to improve the executive functions of gifted children has used the tools of Organization of Dots, Analytic Perception and Comparisons among Feuerstein's Instrumental Enrichment(FIE). According to the results of this study, a significant improvement has been observed in selective attention, self-control, sustained attention, and attention shift through cognitive mediated learning. Therefore, it has been proven that the cognitive mediated learning is effective in reducing gifted children's problematic behaviors that are caused by a lack of attention control and attention shift and improving their cognitive functions and potentials.

This study aimed to verify the mediating effect of locus of control on the relationship between materialism and well-being of middle-aged woman. For the study, the survey of 239 middle-aged women in B, C, D city was used. As a scale, a Richins & Dawson(1992)'s widely-used materialism scale, the Levenson(1981)'s locus of scale, Watson, Clark & Tellegen(1988)'s positive and negative affect scale (PANAS) and Ryff(1989)'s psychological well-being scale(PWBS) were used. The survey data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, reliability, correlation and the mediating effect was verified by Baron & Kenny (1986)'s 3 step using SPSS 23 and sobel test. Mediating analysis indicated that the significant relationships between materialism and affective well-being and psychological well-being were reduced significantly when the external locus of control was statistically controlled. Results are meaningful with respect to overcome materialism of middle-aged woman and in the relation to other research that has explored reasons why materialism is related to lower level of affective well-being & psychological well-being.

Materialism can be triggered by various social events. Based on theories on functions of materialistic goal pursuit, this study investigates how social exclusion evokes desires related to one's identity, resulting in an increase in materialism. Specifically, we predicted that social exclusion would increase the desire for control and belonging, thus leading to higher levels of materialism. Moreover, based on the theory of the approach tendency of power, we further predicted that individuals with a higher sense of power would experience greater desires for belonging and control when faced with social exclusion. To examine the hypotheses, we conducted an experiment using 202 Korean women. The results indicated that social exclusion resulted in an increase in the desire for control, thus increasing materialism. This relationship is stronger for individuals with a high sense of power, and the path from social exclusion to materialism based on the need for control is significant for those with a high sense of power. Although social exclusion increases the need to belonging, the relationship between the need to belonging and materialism is not significant, and its mediating effect was not supported in this study. Based on these findings, we discussed implications and directions for future research.

The purposes of this study were to investigate knowledge, attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavior control, behavioral intention, and compliance of standard precautions (SPs) in healthcare-associated infection (HAI) control among nursing students and to identify influencing factors for SPs compliance in HAI control. A descriptive correlation study was conducted. Participants were 223 nursing students recruited from three universities in a metropolitan city. Data were collected by self-administered questionnaires. On average, 87.0% of the knowledge questions were answered correctly. The mean SPs compliance score was 4.30 out of 5. There was no significant correlation between SPs knowledge and compliance. There were statistically significant correlation between SPs compliance and attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavior control and behavior intention. Perceived behavior control and behavior intention were significant predictors for SPs compliance among nursing students and these two variables explained 21.9% variance of SPs compliance among nursing students. Although, nursing students' SPs knowledge and compliance were acceptable level, their perceived behavior control was relatively low. SPs compliance among nursing students can be enhanced by increasing their behavior intention and perceived behavioral control. Education program for SPs in HAI control for nursing students which is designed with appropriated educational strategies is need to be developed and evaluated to enhance their capacity to deal effective and safe clinical practice.

The purpose of this paper was to analyze the differences in executive function according to type of early English learning experience. The subjects were 75 5-years-old who had immersive early English learning in language school, and daycare center. The measurement tools were stroop, DCCST, memorize numbers, pattern fluency, and maze. We conducted covariance analysis with total intelligence as the covariates. In the results, there were significant differences in attention control and cognitive flexibility, but weren't significant differences in information processing and goal setting according to type of early English learning experience. This study suggests that experience of immersive early English learning positively affected attention control and cognitive flexibility, and didn't affect information processing and goal setting.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the direct and indirect modes of influences environmental dynamism exerts on opportunism, one of important relationship factors. This study particularly delves into the indirect modes of influence in terms of control strategy (control mechanism) and control structure (bureaucratic structuring). To this end, a survey research has been conducted of 200 suppliers in business relationships with Korean hypermarket retailers. An analysis of the collected data indicates that while environmental dynamism has a positive influence on the control mechanisms such as monitoring and incentives, it does not have a negative influence on the control structure such as participation. And then it has a positive influence on the opportunism of suppliers. In addition, participation has a negative influence on the opportunism, but monitoring and incentives do not have a negative influence on it. This study discusses how both retailers and their suppliers should respond to the domestic retail business environment with highly dynamic characteristics, in order to achieve a long-term win-win partnership with one another. It also presents ideas to retailers with regard to what kinds of management strategies and management efforts required to effectively control the opportunism of suppliers.

The relative effects of individual differences in cultural orientation (individualism vs. collectivism) and locus of control (LOC: internal vs. external control beliefs) combination types on global/local processing were compared by manipulating the compound stimulus types (arrows or letters), and the stimulus-stimulus congruence. The results can be summarized as followings. First, consistent with previous research on global/local processing of the compound stimuli, reaction time (RT) for global stimuli than for local stimuli, and that in the stimulus-stimulus congruent condition than in the stimulus-stimulus incongruent condition was faster. Second, faster RT was found in the compound arrows condition than in the compound letters. Third, individual difference in LOC, rather than that in the cultural orientations, appeared to be related to global precedence effect, when the compound letters were presented. These results indicated that the individual's LOC rather than cultural orientation can increase the size of the global precedence effect, which might be involved in the stage of cognitive analysis than that of feature detection.

This study investigates the relationship between controllability, severity, unrealistic optimism and risk perception of risk factors related to location - based SNS services for smartphone users. For this purpose, I surveyed university students who had experience using location - based SNS service. The main results are as follows. First, controllability has a statistically significant effect on unrealistic optimism. Second, Severity had a statistically significant negative impact on unrealistic optimism. Third, Controllability did not have a statistically significant effect on risk perception, Fourth, Severity did not have a statistically significant effect on perceived risk. Fifth, Unrealistic optimism had a statistically significant negative impact on perception of risk. The results of this study will contribute to the prevention of privacy incidents and the protection of smartphone users by using location - based SNS service. On the one hand, future research will need to look at the relationship between unrealistic optimism and risk prevention or coping behavior.

This sturdy proposed and tested whether the six core treatment processes of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) reduce self-criticism and dichotomous thinking in Evaluative concerns perfectionists and even diminish depression and ultimately verify it. The sample consisted of 22 subjects who displayed high EC perfectionism and depression. The subjects were randomly assigned to ACT groups or control groups (n-11/each). The ACT program was administered in eight sessions. All participants completed scale about EC perfectionism, self-criticism, dichotomous thinking, depression and acceptance & action at the pre-test, post-test, and the six week follow-up. The results showed that evaluative concerns perfectionism, self-criticism, dichotomous thinking, and depression decreased more in the treatment group than in the control group, whereas acceptance & action increased in the former. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study, along with suggestions for future study were discussed.

이 논문은 제도적 관점에서 미국의 위성산업 사례를 통하여 복잡한 제품시스템(CoPS)의 공진화 과정을 살펴본다. 이는 공진화의 자세한 기술이라기보다는 그것의 주요 특징들을 이해하는 작업니다. 위성산업은 수출통제제도와 상호작용하며 국가안보와 산업경쟁력을 둘러싼 경쟁적인 입장들이 대립하는 상태에 있다. 역사적 제도주의와 행위자중심 제도주의 관점에서 미국 위성산업 사례를 분석해 보면, 냉전이후 미국의 위성산업과 제도의 경로는 지속적으로 산업경쟁력 지향 속에서 제도 도전자와 방어자들의 상호 대립적이면서도 타협적인 제도수정의 결과물이다. 결과적으로 국가안보의 제도 규칙은 변경되었으며, 이는 냉전이후 위성산업의 시장화의 경로를 다지는데 기여하였다.
