This study examines cultural differneces in psychosocial maturity experiences between collectivistic and individualistic cultures. Personal, relational, and social dimensions were assessed to explore psychosocial maturity experience of elderly Korean residents in Korea and Canada who were psychosocially well developed through in-depth interviews and a content analysis. According to the results, there were diverse similarities and differences in the psychosocial maturity of elderly Korean residents between the two cultures. First, psychosocially mature elderly residents in both cultures showed positive self-concept and self-satisfaction. However, there were differences in their meaning. Second, in terms of interpersonal relations, the most important and satisfying relationship was the spousal relationship for both cultures, and relationships with children were satisfying. However, there were differences in the meaning of relationships between the two cultures as well as gender differences. Third, psychosocially mature elderly residents in both cultures reported psychosocial factors such as mature aging as a social dimension. Elderly residents in Korea regarded mature aging as a relationship oriented phenomenon, whereas those in Canada reported social attitudes toward mature aging. In addition, elderly residents in both cultures reported greed and harm to others as immature aging. Elderly residents in Korea regarded relational discord as immature aging, whereas those in Canada regarded it as demanding adult treatment from future generation. In terms of transcendence, adjustment was reported as living by going with the flow. Elderly residents in Korea reported adjustment based on fatalism, whereas those in Canada showed some religious meaning. Finally, psychosocially mature elderly residents showed a positive view, acceptance and life integration. These results are discussed from the perspective of cultural differences.

Purpose: Reminiscence therapy is a widely used intervention for older adults and those with dementia. However, the attributes of the concept of reminiscence is not clearly proposed. The aim of this study was to clarify the concept of reminiscence in Korean older adults with dementia. Methods: The study applied the concept analysis method of Walker and Avant. The literature review included the previous studies of reminiscence from philosophy, literature, art, neuroscience, medicine, psychology, sociology, and nursing. Results: A total of 43 Korean or international papers were analyzed in this study. Attributes of reminiscence in Korean older adults with dementia were regeneration of memories, internal and external communications, expression of suppressed emotions, and recognition of ego identity. The suppressed emotions and ego identity may result from Korean cultural characteristics based on the suppressed environments of many wars and dictatorships in the past. The consequences of reminiscence in Korean older adults with dementia are cognitive enhancement, relief of depression, and improvements of social interactions, ego integrity, and quality of life. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the historical and cultural characteristics should be considered to develop effective nursing interventions including reminiscence for Korean older adults with dementia.

행복은 문화적인 개념이다. 그러나 현재 한국의 행복에 대한 논의들은 이러한 전제 없이 진행되고 있다. 이러한 태도는 한국사람들의 행복에 대한 올바른 이해에 도움이 되지 않는다. 실제로 '행복'이라는 표현 자체는 한국문화에서 매우 많은 맥락을 함축하고 있으며 개인의 주관적 안녕이라는 의미로는 거의 사용되지 않는다. 오히려 한국사람들의 개인적인 삶의 만족은 오히려 신바람 혹은 신명이라는 표현과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 본 논문에서는 한국사람들의 행복이라는 관점에서 신명에 대해 논의하였다. 한국사람들에게 신명이란 자기가치감의 발현과 관련 있는 감정으로서 일상생활에서 누적된 부정적 감정들을 해소하고 삶을 활력 있게 만드는 역할을 한다. 신명은 한국의 사회문화적 현상 및 한국사람들의 행동과 동기를 이해하는 데 필수적인 개념으로 한국사람들의 행복을 이해하기 위해서도 반드시 이해가 선행되어야 한다.

본 연구에서는 한국의 교육현실의 기저에 존재하는 한국사람들의 교육의식과 현재의 상황이 한국사람들의 마음에 미치는 영향, 그리고 현재의 부정적인 상황을 전환하기 위한 방안을 문화심리학적 관점에서 논의하였다. 집합주의 문화권에 속하는 한국사람들은 자신들의 부정적인 현재 상황을 내부귀인할 확률이 크며, 현 상황을 타개하기 위해 자신이 기울일 수 있는 노력, 즉 교육에 모든 힘을 기울일 것이다. 또한 유교적 전통과 가족중심적 사고의 영향으로 부모는 자녀의 학업적 성취를 통해 자신의 욕구를 대리적으로 해결하려는 경향을 보인다. 이러한 교육의식은 학생들의 자율적 동기를 저해할 뿐 아니라 학부모의 경제적, 심리적 부담을 가중시키고, 공교육을 고사케 하는 등의 부정적 결과를 야기한다. 즉, 현재 한국의 교육현실은 학생들과 교육기관뿐만 아니라 학부모 모두에게 한(恨)으로 지각될 소지가 크다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한을 극복하는 한국의 문화적 기제인 신명에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 현재의 교육현실을 극복하고, 교육장면에서 학생들뿐만 아니라 교육자 및 학부모들이 모두 신명을 경험할 수 있는 방안을 논의하였다.

본 연구에서는 교차문화 청소년들이 겪는 어려움들을 문화적 소속감의 부재라는 이론적 틀 안에서 살펴보았다. 설문조사에 참여한 151명의 교차문화 청소년들의 데이터를 통해 이들의 문화적 소속감의 부재와 심리적 안녕감 간의 관계를 경험적으로 탐색하였고, 그 관계에서 정서인식 명확성의 조절효과를 검증하였다. 그 결과, 첫째, 문화적 소속감의 부재는 심리적 안녕감과 부적 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 구체적으로, 심리적 안녕감의 6차원 중 긍정적 대인관계와 환경에 대한 통제력에서 통계적으로 유의한 부적관계가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이는 문화적 소속감의 부재가 심한 청소년일수록 정서인식 명확성 수준과 상관없이 만족스러운 관계를 적게 맺고 있고, 일상생활에서 통제감이 적을 가능성이 높다는 것을 의미한다. 둘째, 문화적 소속감의 부재가 심리적 안녕감에 영향을 미칠 때 정서인식 명확성이 조절효과를 보이는 것이 확인되었다. 구체적으로, 심리적 안녕감의 6차원 중 긍정적 대인관계와 개인적 성장 영역에서 정서인식 명확성의 수준이 문화적 소속감의 부재와 심리적 안녕감 간의 관계를 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 문화적 소속감의 부재 정도가 낮은 개인들은 긍정적인 대인관계 수준이 정서인식 명확성 수준에 따라 달라졌다. 즉, 문화적 소속감의 부재를 경험하고 있는 개인들 중 정서인식 명확성 수준이 이 높은 이들은 타인과 보다 긍정적인 관계를 보고하였다. 흥미롭게도 문화적 소속감의 부재 정도가 높은 청소년들은 정서인식 명확성 수준과 상관없이 개인적 성장에 대한 큰 열망을 보고하였다. 즉, 이들은 겉으로는 진취적이게 보여도 내적으로 명확하지 않은 정서들을 경험하며 어려움을 겪고 있을 수 있다. 이 결과는 교차문화 청소년들의 심리적 안녕감을 향상시키기 위해서는 이들의 문화적 소속감의 문제와 정서인식 명확성의 문제를 동시에 다루어야 함을 시사한다. 특히 문화적 소속감의 부재로 힘들어하는 교차문화 청소년들을 위해 정서경험을 더욱 명확하게 인식할 수 있도록 돕는 교육적, 상담적 개입이 효과적일 것으로 보인다.

Until now, product mostly has revealed physical quantities created by the standpoint of engineers. Consumers, however, perceive and evaluate products on the non-physical characteristics, such as feelings, emotions, and experiences in different social and cultural situations. Especially, for the household appliances fur instance air-conditioner or refrigerator, the sound is heavily related to the satisfaction of a customer who is a real user of the product and is very important factor to decide purchasing as well as visual design. Therefore, in this research, the general tendency of consumer's psychology was investigated for the appliances. And also, in order to obtain clear guidelines for sound manipulation, the characteristics of the sound of air-conditioning systems and refrigerators were compared with others. Since it is important to overcome the discrepancy between engineering and marketing, the relevance of sound manipulation must be documented from the consumer's perspective. That is the reason why we conducted a consumer and marketing oriented study.

This study explored social media use among 50 adolescents attending a public high school in a non-Western community. Adolescents participated in focus group interviews and completed a written self-report survey. Findings revealed that these teenagers use electronic communication forms such as phone texting and social networking sites to connect with friends and family. They show a preference for Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram, do not engage in risky Internet behavior, and acknowledge both positive and negative aspects of electronic communication forms. In addition, their selection of electronic communication forms is dependent upon several factors that include the strength of the relationship and type of discourse exchange. For example, they reserve phone texting and cell use, which are more private communication mediums for family and friends. Electronic communication did not replace face-to-face interactions; rather it complemented and extended those interactions. Findings support existing literature on adolescent social media use and those shared with other collectivist cultural groups.
