The objectives of the present research are twofold. First, this research aims to compare the effect of trait characteristics(sensation seeking, social resistance and type-A behavior) with that of driving specific characteristics(driving anger and type-A driving) on problematic driving behavior. Second, the role of life stress as a mediator in the relationships between general trait characteristics and traffic safety index was examined. 1158 licensed commercial vehicle drivers were surveyed and their accident-related records were obtained in this research. Results showed that driving specific characteristics were significant indicators of traffic safety and life stress mediated the relationships between general trait characteristics and traffic safety index. These findings implicate that understanding drivers' driving specific characteristics and their levels of life stress is important to reduce problematic driving behaviors and enhance traffic safety.

본 연구는 대학생의 성격유형에 따른 섭식태도 및 비만스트레스를 알아보기 위해 2009년 11월 2일~11월 19일까지 대전지역 일개대학 대학생을 대상으로 설문지를 배포하여 총 285부의 유효부수를 조사에 활용하였다. 각 문항에 대한 빈도분석과 백분율, 교차분석을 이용하였고, 집단간 차이에 대한 유의성 검증을 위해 카이제곱과 로지스틱 분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 주요결과는 대학생의 성격유형(A형,B형)에 따른 섭식태도는 카이제곱 분석을 한 결과 조사대상자의 일반적 특성 통계적으로 유의하지 않아서, 성격유형에 따른 섭식태도의 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 대학생의 성격유형(A형,B형)에 따른 비만 관련 스트레스는 카이제곱 분석을 한 결과 조대상자의 일반적 특성 통계적으로 유의하지 않아서, 성격유형에 따른 비만스트레스는 차이를 나타내지 않았으며, 섭식태도와 비만스트레스에 영향을 미치는 요인을 로지스틱 분석한 결과 각각에 성격유형에 따른 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 본 논문은 대학생의 성격유형에 따른 섭식태도, 비만스트레스에 차이가 있을 것으로 예상하였으나, 연구결과 별다른 차이를 보이지 않아 섭식태도, 비만스트레스는 성격유형과 무관한 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 볼 때 대학생의 성격유형과 섭식태도, 비만스트레스는 무관한 것으로 판단되어 진다. 선천적인 성격유형과 비만과의 관계에 대한 다각적인 선행연구가 전무한 실정이므로 앞으로 보다 많은 연구를 통해 비만관련 영양 교육 및 보건교육, 나아가 비만 관련 치료 시 성격유형에 대한 고려가 이루어지기를 기대한다.

This was consistent in priority research. Each factors of Hasteful Behavior and type A behavior showed positive correlation. Hasteful behavior under time pressure had positive relations with success striving, failure anxiety, job immersion, activity, and quickness.

A lot of studies have investigated the role of psychosocial and behavioral risk factors in the etiology and pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. On the basis of prospective population studies that found a relationship between Type A behavior and cardiac morbidity and mortality independent of traditional risk factors, Type A behavior was declared a risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease. Additionally, recently proposed, a new personality construct, Type D personality have been reported to be associated with the increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In Korea, however, there were few studies about these issues. This article attempts to provide an overview of accumulating evidences on the Type A behavioral pattern and Type D personality related with cardiovascular disease to offer new directions for research.

This study integrates personality trait theory to empirically Investigate the corporate strategy in Korean venture firms. This study predicts that type A/B, locus of control(internal/external), and risk-taking/avoiding will be positively associated with corporate strategy selection. Corporate strategy selection consists of aggressive entry strategy and defensive niche market strategy. Data obtained from a survey of 87 venture business firms is used to construct final variable measures and test the hypothesized relationships. The statistical result shows that type A, internal, and risk-taking CEOs positively associated with aggressive entry strategy, and type B, external, and risk-avoiding CEOs positively associated with defensive niche market strategy. Additional analysis(multiple regression model) to test relatively importance of independents is used.

Purpose: This study investigates the relationship between job stress, depression, health-related behavior and type A behavior patterns among male workers at a steel factory. Methods: The study was done on 171 male workers, using the structured questionnaire. The data were collected in April, 2009 and analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and pearson correlation coefficient. Results: The results showed that 65.5% of workers were under moderate stress, 25.7% high stress and 0.6% extremely high stress. The overall score of these workers' occupational stress was 41.9, lower than the Korean workers' average. Occupational stress was correlated with depression, type A behavior patterns, a very poor physical condition without sufficient sleep. Conclusion: Stress management program is strongly needed for these subjects working over 45 hours a week, with a very poor subjective physical condition, insufficient sleep, type A behavior patterns and signs of severe depression. Further longitudinal study is recommended to show the effect of such worker's stress management program to mitigate job-related stress.

This study was a descriptive research to investigate the effects of resilience and personality types on the major satisfaction of nursing students. The participants of this study were nursing students who were attending two universities in D city. Data collection was conducted from September 8 to October 6, 2020. The SPSS/WIN 26.0 program was used for data analysis. Frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, Pearson's correlation, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression were used for analysis. The results of this study showed that the average recovery elasticity of nursing students was 3.50 points (5 points), personality type was 2.28 points (4 points), and major satisfaction was 3.12 points (5 points). Personality type A was found in 122 people and personality type B in 136 people. It was found that there was a positive correlation between resilience and major satisfaction, which indicates that the higher the resilience, the higher the major satisfaction. The major satisfaction of nursing students was found to be a significant factor influencing college life satisfaction and human relationships in personality type A, showing 46.2% explanatory power. In personality type B, it was found to be a significant influencing factor in grade and human relationships, showing 42.5% explanatory power. From the above study results, it can be inferred that the development of a college application program that can improve human relationships and increase resilience in college life is required to inspire major satisfaction.

Though research has shown that public transportation drivers experience greater burnout than other drivers, the sources of their burnout and possible mediators remain largely unknown. In response, in this study we investigate the relationships among sensation seeking, Type A driving behavior, and meaning of work to elucidate the burnout experienced by bus drivers in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. To collect data regarding these relationships, 188 bus drivers answered a questionnaire involving the sensation seeking scale, burnout scale, and meaning of work scale. Results showed that Type A driving behavior mediated the relationship between sensation seeking and burnout, while meaning of work moderated the mediated model. These findings demonstrate that sensation-seeking bus drivers tend to experience greater burnout given their tendency to exhibit Type A driving behavior, and this relationship depends on perceived meaning of work. This study therefore contributes meaningful information and outlines significant implications in understanding drivers' burnout.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of mediating variables on the relationship between job stress and stress response. A survey was conducted to 243 clinical dental hygienists from January 15, 2013 to March 20, 2013 and the data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation analysis, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The subjects who worked in poor working environment, had high level of role conflict and overload and aggressive nature showed high stress responsivity (p<0.01). The variable that showed mediation effect on the relationship between job stress and physical discomfort, depression was shown to be personality type (p<0.05). Also, the variable that showed mediation effect on the relationship between job stress and turnover intention was social support (p<0.05). According to the results, personality type and social support were shown to be important parameters when it came to the relationship between job stress and stress response. Therefore, in order to reduce negative outcomes caused by stress, it is suggested to provide an educational opportunity on self-control management while increasing social support from the organizational and structural level. Especially, it is asked to expand the system that provides encouragement and recognition to feel the sense of achievement in the course of their duty execution.
