Purpose: As anger may be strongly related to stroke, this study examined the relationship between anger expression style (anger-in, anger-out, anger-control) and risk factors for stroke to investigate the possible attribution of anger expression style to stroke incidence. Methods: The cross sectional study design was employed. The 291 participants signed consent forms and completed questionnaires including the anger expression style scales and risk factors for stroke. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test and One-way ANOVA. Results: The highest score among anger expression styles of the participants was from anger-control. Participants with higher mean value of anger-out were current non-smokers, doing regular exercise, having scores above 23 in Body Mass Index, having scores above 90 cm (male) or 80 cm (female) in abdominal circumference, and having scores below 85 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure. Participants with more than 5 risk factors to stroke had the highest score of anger-in. Conclusion: The results of this study implied anger expression style was psychological risk factor for stroke. Further studies to differentiate the anger expression style contributing to the risk of stroke are needed with a longitudinal study design.

This study aims to examine how motivational constructs are interrelated with social, context-specific factors and, as a result, contribute to L2 writing achievement within the framework of self-determination theory. The data consisted of 67 Korean college students' questionnaire responses, final scores in an on-offline blended writing course, and qualitative interviews with 5 students. In the descriptive and the correlation analyses, the participants' extrinsic motivation was found higher than intrinsic motivation, with low amotivation. Among social factors, immersion environment, foreign instructor, and peer comparison marked high scores, whereas Korean instructor and online material gained low scores. Those contextual factors were interrelated with each other, such that the immersion factor correlated significantly with Korean instructor and peer comparison. Extrinsic and intrinsic motivational subscales engendered strong correlations with the high-scored social factors, i.e., immersion, foreign instructor, and peer comparison, which were also closely interrelated with L2 writing achievement. The findings illuminate intricate workings of motivation in its effects on L2 achievement and corroborate the roles of contextual factors. The effect of motivational subscales on achievement may be valid through interplay with some social factors. The dynamics of motivation is discussed for pedagogical applications.

There has been a lot of research into the essence of the smile, but so far just a few studies have been done on the relationship between personality and smile. On the assumption that smile aesthetics are closely related to individual physical condition and psychological state, this study investigated the correlation between personality factors and smile scores. The Personality Factor Questionnaire test was administered to 60 university students (male : 30, female : 30) who have no teeth missing, no experience of orthodontic or prosthodontic treatment and good dentition. Then, portraits were taken in a full smile. Esthetic smile scores were estimated by 10 appraisers who were dentists. These scores were analyzed statistically using the SAS program. The following results were obtained. 1. Personality factors of Warmth, Stableness, Surgency, Boldness, Untroubled-adequacy, Group-dependence, Relaxation, Extraversion, Low anxiety were positively correlated to the aesthetic level of smile. 2. For females, personality factors had greater influence on smile aesthetics, whereas male smile aesthetics were less influenced by personality factors.

Purpose: Occupational stress is a determinant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and work disability. This study aims to describe occupational stress and identify its related factors among aged security guards. Methods: A random sample of 76 aged security guards were interviewed by three research assistants. The criteria of the subjects were as follows : 50 or older male with 40 or more working hours a week working with colleagues ranged from 3 to 50. The data were collected in September, 2007 and analyzed by multiple regression using SAS Version 9.1. Results: The mean score of occupational stress among aged security guards was 47.2. The mean scores of its sub-scales were 31.3(physical environment), 33.8(occupational demand), 80.8occupational control), 44.6(interpersonal conflict), 51.3 (occupational insecurity), 53.6(occupational system), 57.5(lack of reward), and 30.3(work environment). The scores of occupational control, interpersonal conflict, and occupational insecurity were higher than the scores of Korean average occupational stress sub-scales. Significant variables affecting occupational stress and its sub-scales were work place, work type, and employment type. Conclusion: In order to reduce occupational stress among security guards, sufficient occupational control and interpersonal conflict control, appropriate reward, and employment stability should be considered. Also long working hours and work shift should be improved.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of childcare teachers' ego-resilience and directors, co-workers and family's social support to childcare teachers' burnout. The participants in this study were 326 childcare teachers from Daejeon metropolitan city and Chungnam province. They responded to the 'Maslach Burnout Inventory', 'Ego-resilience Scale', and 'Social Support Scale'. The collected data were analyzed by t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's productive correlation, stepwise multiple regression, Duncan test for post hoc test, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ for reliability, and factor analysis for validity by SPSS PC program (18.0 version). The results were as follows; first, there were significant differences in childcare teachers' burnout scores in relation to the educational levels of childcare teachers, their working hours, children's number per class, and the ages of the children they teach. Second, there were significant negative correlations (r = -.11~-.62) among childcare teachers' ego-resilience, directors, teaching colleagues and family's social supports, and their levels of burnout. Finally, childcare teachers' ego-resilience and teaching colleagues' levels of social support helped explain about 43% the childcare teachers' burnout total scores and about 17~39% of their sub-scores.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine relationships between academic achievement, clinical competence, and confidence in the clinical performance of nursing students, and to identify factors that influence them. Methods: This was a descriptive correlation study. Data were collected from 118 nursing students at a nursing college in Seoul. One-way variance analysis, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression analysis were used to examine relationships between academic achievement, clinical competence, and confidence in clinical performance. Results: Clinical competence was related to academic achievement in students' previous semester and to students' academic scores in a fundamental of nursing course. Clinical competence showed a weak positive correlation with academic achievement in students' previous semester and academic scores in a fundamental of nursing course in both evaluations by the professor and students' self-evaluations. However, confidence in clinical performance had no significant correlation with academic achievement. The factor affecting the clinical competence was academic scores in a fundamental of nursing course, and factors affecting confidence in clinical performance were health status, personality, major suitability, and class satisfaction in a fundamental of nursing skills course. Conclusion: These findings indicate that students with high academic achievement have better clinical performance, but confidence in clinical performance is not related to academic achievement.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a parent play interaction observation scale (PPIOS-Toddler) and analyze it in terms of item discrimination, reliability, and validity. Methods: The subjects of the study were 97 toddlers and mothers. This scale consisted of three categories, six domains and 22 items on a 5-point scale. For the item discrimination of the observation scale, an independent standard t-test was conducted to analyze the significant difference in average between the upper and lower groups for each item. The reliability of the observation scale was calculated by Cronbach's α, the intra-item agreement, and the validity was examined through content validity, the correlation between subdomains and total scores, and official validity using PICCOLO. Results: In item discrimination analysis, all items exhibited differences between upper and lower groups. The overall internal agreement for the observation scale was 0.95, with factor-specific internal agreement ranging from 0.83 to 0.95. The observation scale demonstrated notable correlations between total scores and sub-factors (0.45 to 0.93) and significant correlations with PICCOLO total scores (0.66 to 0.86). Conclusion/Implications: The study successfully verified the item discrimination, reliability, and validity of the Parent Play Interaction Observation Scale (PPIOS-Toddler).

Scientific exploration of how occupational health risks relate with occupational illnesses are essential for mitigating health-related issues in industries. This study analyzed the risk scores obtained by occupational health risk assessments at 3,172 manufacturing companies and examined their effects on occupational illness. Statistical analyses revealed that companies with an occupational health manager (scored 89.1 out of 100) had significantly higher activity scores of health management compared to those without (78.2). However, companies with a history of occupational illness (79.1) or those classified as high-risk industries (85.2) had significantly lower activity scores than their counterparts (81.7, 87.3). In addition, regression analyses using factor analysis showed that latent risk factors such as cardiovascular disease/job stress, health management, and musculoskeletal problem significantly influenced the risk of occupational illness. The activity factors such as health management, work environment management, and regulatory complaisance significant impacted the reduction of occupational illness. The findings of this study can be used to improve the occupational health risk assessment method and utilized in effectively managing occupational risks in industries.

연구목적 : Alexithymia(감정표현불능증)는 내면적 감정을 올바로 인식하거나 언어적으로 표현하기 어려운 상태를 뜻하는 용어이다. 최근에는 말로 표현하는데 장애가 있는 것만이 아니라 인지과정에서의 결함도 강조하고 있다. 그리고 감정은 신체증상과 전반적인 건강상태에 영향을 준다는 점에서 정신신체연구에 매우 중심적인 역할을 하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 신체형 장애 환자와 정신신체장애의 하나로 알려져 있는 당뇨병 환자를 대상으로 alexithymia의 척도를 비교하고 이 환자들에서의 정신병리와 성격특성을 알아 보고자하였다. 방법 : 본 연구는 만 18세 이상의 신체형장애 환자 20명, 당뇨병 환자 20명 그리고 정상 대조군 20명을 대상으로 세 군의 alexithymia의 정도, 정신병리 및 성격특성을 알아보기 위하여 각각 Toronto Alexithymia Scale(TAS), 한국판 Symptoms Check List 9G-R(SCL-90-R) 및 Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire(16-PF)를 이용하여 세 군간의 차이를 분석하고 TAS와 SCL-90-R 및 TAS와 16-PF와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 결과 : 1) TAS에 따른 세 군간의 비교에서는 신체형장애 환자군이 당뇨병 환자군과 정상 대조군보다 유의하게 높은 수치를 나타냈다. 2) SCV90-R에 의한 비교에서는 신체화증상과 불안증상 척도에서 신체형장애 환자군이 당뇨병 환자군과 정상 대조군보다 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 강박증상, 우울증상, 공포증상 및 정신증상 척도에서는 선체형장애 환자군이 정상 대조군보다 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 전체지표 중 전체심도지수는 신체형장애 환자군과 당뇨병 환자군이 정상 대조군보다 높았고, 표출증상심도지수는 신체형장애 환자군과 당뇨병 환자군이 정상 대조군보다 높았으며 표출증상합계에서는 신체형장애 환자군이 정상 대조군보다 유의하게 높은 결과를 보였다. 3) 16-PF에 의한 비교에서는 지능요인에서만 정상 대조군이 신체형장애 환자군보다 높게 나타났고 다른 요인에서는 차이가 없었다. 4) TAS와 SCL-90-R과의 상관관계분석에서는 신체형장애 환자군에서 표출증상심도지수를 제외한 모든 척도에서 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 그러나 다른 두 군에서는 유의한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 5) TAS와 16-PF와의 상관관계분석에서는 모든 대상군에서 유의한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 결론 : 신체형장애 환자군이 당뇨병 환자군이나 정상 대조군에 비하여 높은 alexithymia 척도와 많은 정신병리를 보였다. 그리고 신체형 환자군에서의 높은 alexithymia 척도는 정신병리와 유의한 정적 상관관계를 보이고 있었다. 당뇨병환자들은 정상 대조군과 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러므로 신체형장애 환자들에게는 감정을 표현하고 그들의 정신병리를 완화하거나 해소할 수 있는 치료적 접근이 도움이 되겠고, 당뇨병환자들에게는 우선적으로 신체질환의 상태를 호전시킬 수 있는 치료가 더욱 필요로 하겠다.
