The aims of this study was to investigate the effect of workplace support and access to workplace counseling on the depression level of employees who are workplace bullying victims and then find cross-level interaction effects between individual and group factors. A multi-level analysis was conducted using data from 642 individuals who reported experiencing workplace bullying in the 2017 National Human Rights Commission survey. The findings indicate that a worker's perceived safety of their workplace is negatively associated with depression levels. Additionally, higher perceived workplace support and access to workplace counseling were associated with lower depression levels. Lastly, a positive interaction effect was observed between access to workplace counseling and perceived workplace support in relation to depression levels. That is, higher access to workplace counseling increases the negative effect of workplace support on depression levels of employees. These results highlight the importance of creating protective factors such as a safe and supportive organizational culture to combat workplace bullying of coworkers or supervisors, and implementation of counseling and support services to assist victims in coping with workplace bullying and reducing depression symptoms.

Counseling is not merely a conversation it is a critical meeting aimed at solving problems. For counseling to be effective, the client must be truthful and candid. However, it is not uncommon for clients to provide false answers or remain silent during counseling sessions. Such passive behavior can diminish the quality of counseling. Therefore, this paper presents the design of a counseling support system that utilizes multimodal biometric signal measurement and analysis. The proposed system analyzes the client's EEG, GSR, and breathing patterns during counseling sessions, enabling counselors to accurately assess the emotional and physical state of the client and devise appropriate counseling strategies. This system enhances the efficiency of counseling, allows for rapid response to psychological changes, and incorporates technologies to enable personalized counseling and maximize the effectiveness of sessions. Future research will focus on expanding the system's application range and improving the user interface to develop a more effective and user-friendly tool.

Recently, the number of out-of-school adolescents has been increasing, and problems associated with their careers have become an important issue. This study was conducted to identify the relationship between the career barriers and perceived social support type/support source and to examine whether a sense of alienation mediates the relationship between perceived social support and career barriers among out-of-school adolescents preparing for the qualification examination for their high school degree. To accomplish this, a survey of 207 students from the Youth Support Center for out-of-school adolescents-K-Dream-and Qualification Examination Institute located in five regions (Seoul, Busan, Jeju, Gangwon, and Jeonla province) was conducted. Correlation analysis, regression analysis and the Sobel test were used to verify the relationships between variables and mediation effects. The results showed a significant negative correlation between social support and career barriers and a significant positive correlation between alienation and career barriers. Carrier barriers and alienation were highly correlated with parent support and evaluation support. Moreover, a sense of alienation was found to fully mediate the relationship between parental support/teacher support and career barriers, as well as to partially mediate the relationship between peer support and career barriers. A sense of alienation was found to fully mediate the relationship between information support/evaluation support/emotional support/material support and career barriers. These findings imply that, in out-of-school adolescents, career barriers can be reduced through various kinds of social support provided by peers, parents and teachers as it decreases the sense of alienation.

Recently, as the expansion of the metaverse accelerated due to the spread of the non-face-to-face trend after the COVID-19 pandemic, various metaverse platforms using it have appeared. In this study, we propose research and development of a virtual reality spatial psychological counseling service platform utilizing the advantages of metaverse. A counseling service platform was developed through virtual reality hardware including Unity 3D game engine and Head Mounted Display. Counseling participants create and participate in their own avatars, and counseling facilitators respond to the situation and environment of the counseling target in various virtual environments. It was attempted to improve the efficiency of the counseling service by allowing the space and counselor avatar to be selected. Furthermore, various interactions were implemented, and development was carried out so that it could be extended and utilized for social activities such as group counseling and general meetings and presentations. In the future, through additional research and development, we will prove the practical effectiveness of the psychological counseling service platform developed by conducting clinical trials under the support of psychological counseling experts and participation in actual counseling.
