The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between child-mother 'goodness-of-fit', mothers' empathy and parenting stress. A sample of 324 mothers of 5th graders in the Seoul Metropolitan area participated in this study. Mothers answered questionnaires on the levels of their parenting stress, empathy and child-mother 'goodness-of-fit'. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficients, as well as multiple and hierarchical regressions. Child-mother 'goodness-of-fit', as well as mothers' empathy was a predictor for parenting stress; significant interaction effects were found between child-mother 'goodness-of-fit' and the mothers' empathy on parenting stress. These results indicate the need for possible intervention in relation to mothers' empathy levels and to reduce parenting stress.

This study examined the relationships between multiple intelligences as cognitive factors and affective factors of learning motivation and academic self-concept. The data were collected from 276 4th grade elementary school students and analyzed by correlation, multi-variate analysis, and step-wise multiple regression. Results were that (1) multiple intelligences, learning motivation, and academic self-concept had statistically significant correlations among themselves. Multi-variate analysis showed that intra-personal intelligence explained 58.6% of the linear combination of learning motivation and academic self-concept. (2) Intra-personal intelligence explained 29% to 58% of learning motivation and its sub-factors of achievement motivation, internal locus of control, self-efficacy, and self-regulation. (3) Intra-personal intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, musical intelligence, and inter-personal intelligence were explanatory variables for academic self-concept and its sub-factors.

The major objective of this paper is to analyze the relationships between End-User Computing(EUC) attributes and its implementation. Reviewing the related literatures, we categorized EUC attributes into threefactors - relative advantage, compatibility, complexity. With such attributes this paper proposed a hypothetical model which explains the effect of the EUC attributes on its implementation. Under the assumption that EUC attributes affect its implementation differently according to the several contingent factors, the model included such factors as organizational size, organizational support level on the EUC activities and individual characteristics - computer experience, education level, age. Data were collected form 177 end-users of 40 Korean business firms. Hypotheses were tested using Pearson Correlation, t-test, ANOVA and the results are discussed below.

Precision agriculture attempts to improve cropping efficiency by variable application of crop treatments such as fertilizers and pesticides, within field on a point-by-point basis. Therefore, a more complete understanding of the relationships between yield and soil properties is of critical importance in precision agriculture. In this study, the functional relationships between measured soil properties and rice yield were investigated. A supervised back-propagation neural network model was employed to relate soil chemical properties and rice yields on a point-by point basis, within individual site-years. As a results, a positive correlation was found between practical yields and predicted yields in 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 are 0.916, 0.879, 0.800 and 0.789, respectively. The results showed that significant overfitting for yields with only the soil chemical properties occurred so that more of environmental factors, such as climatological data, variety, cultivation method etc., would be required to predict the yield more accurately.

The importance of brand and brand equity has greatly increased not only in the professional perspectives but also in academic viewpoints. Especially, lots of related studies have been focused on the components of brand equity itself. However, this study concentrates on the relationships of brand equity components for understanding consumers' attitudes toward the brands of the food-service businesses. The basic research model consists of 4 brand equity components: brand awareness, perceived quality, brand image, and brand preference. Research data are gathered through survey questions responded by university students. For statistical analysis, correlation analysis, factor analysis, and covariance structure analysis are carried out. The result of this study are summed up as follows. Among the brand equity components, brand awareness had a great effect on perceived quality(path coefficient; 0.476). Brand image highly influenced brand preference(path coefficient; 0.439).

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between adolescent sensation-seeking and risk behavior. This study was based on Zuckerman's model which states that the higher the sensation-seeking score, the higher the risk behavior score. The subjects were 460 third year high school adolescents in Seoul. Instruments were the Arnett Inventory on Sensation-Seeking and questionnaires on risk behavior as well as demographic variables. Statistical procedures were T-test, F-test, correlation, and heirarchical regression analysis. Sex was the only demographic variable related to sensation-seeking scores; there were differences in risk behavior score by father's education, mother's education and father's occupation; adolescent sensation-seeking and demographic variables (father's education, mother's education, and father's occupation) influenced adolescent risk behaviors.

To examine relationships between learning-related social skills(LRSS) and literacy development a sample of 167 children aged 5-6 years were selected from 3 preschools in Seoul. Instruments for measuring LRSS were the cooperation, assertion, and self-control scales of the Social Skills Rating System (Gresham & Elliott, 1990) and the mastery behaviors scales of the Child Behavior Rating Scale (Bronson, et al. 1990). Literacy development was measured by the Concepts about Print(Woon, 1999), the Learning Readiness Scale(Korean Educational Development Institution 1998), and the Writing Development Scale(Lee, 1997). Teachers rated children's LRSS. Data were analyzed by mean, standard deviation, t-test, bivariate correlation, and regression analysis. LRSS correlated with children's literacy development. Mastery behaviors were the best predictor of literacy development.
