The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aromatherapy planned behavior on behavioral intention using the theory of planned behavior of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control as factors of the theory of planned behavior. The behavioral intention of aromatherapy planned behavior was analyzed to have a significant positive causal relationship between the independent variables of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control on the behavioral intention of aromatherapy. As a result of testing Hypothesis 1, "Aromatherapy planned behavior will have an effect on behavioral intention," previous research confirmed that the greater the attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norm during aromatherapy planned behavior, the higher the participation intention. The verification was consistent with similar results between this study and this study. These results suggest that aromatherapy planned behavior will contribute to increasing aromatherapy's market share, reducing stress, and improving health through behavioral intention.

This study examined the social trauma experienced by direct victims of accidents and each member of the society affected by grand-scale disasters based on the concepts of collective unconsciousness, archetype, and individuation from Jung's analytical psychology, and their experience of therapy through media. For this purpose, the survivors of the disaster of Sewol that occurred on April 16, 2014, family of the deceased, psychological professionals, and general volunteers were selected as the subjects for one-on-one in-depth interviews and focus group interviews. The findings can be summarized as follows: first, the subjects are suffering from different forms of social trauma such as seclusion and anxiety due to primary/secondary incidents, but there is possibility for them to overcome the social trauma as a social community. Second, the archetypes of life and death, mourning and remembrance are showing in the subjects' everyday lives. In particular, it was found that various archetypes are appearing symbolically through the craft activities in which the survivors are participating most actively. Third, the media therapy program for the victims of the Sewol has limitations in various aspects. However, the fact that the craft activities that are not bound by time and space are highly effective manifests that anyone can take advantage of trauma therapy through digital media that are easily found around them. Finally, this study is significant as it verified the possible individuation of social trauma and identified the limitations of media therapy to suggest its development directions.
