This study investigated the relationships among 'sense of humor', 'creativity', 'creativity in scientific humor', and 'perceptions of educational benefits for making scientific humor' of elementary students. To do this, fifth graders (n=42) at an elementary school and fifth graders (n=38) at gifted science education institutes in Seoul were selected. Tests for 'sense of humor', 'creativity', 'creativity in scientific humor', and 'perceptions of educational benefits for making scientific humor' were then administered. Analysis of the results revealed that all subcategories of 'sense of humor' had significantly positive relationships with all subcategories of 'creativity' except 'openness'. However, all subcategories of 'sense of humor' were not significantly correlated with all subcategories of 'creativity in scientific humor' and 'perception of educational benefits for making scientific humor'. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to examine the moderating role of childcare teachers' sense of humor in the relationship between their job stress and happiness Methods: Participants were 294 childcare teachers working at 83 childcare centers located in Busan and Gyeongnam. Teachers completed a rating scale in order to examine their demographic variables, job stress, sense of humor, and happiness. The collected data were analyzed using product-moment correlation and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: Childcare teachers' job stress was negatively correlated with their happiness. And childcare teachers' sense of humor had a positive relationship with their happiness. Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that the interaction of childcare teachers' job stress and sense of humor predicted their happiness. Childcare teachers' job stress was significantly associated with their happiness among those who demonstrated the lowest level of sense of humor. Childcare teachers' job stress had no relationship with their happiness, especially for those with the highest level of sense of humor Conclusion/Implications: We suggested that having a sense of humor might be valuable for childcare teachers in order to buffer the link between their job stress and happiness.

본 연구는 임상간호사의 유머감각, 낙관성, 간호업무성과의 정도를 파악하고 각 변수간의 상관관계를 파악하고 간호업무성과의 영향요인을 규명하고자 하였다. S 특별시 3개 상급 종합병원에 근무 중인 간호사 183명을 연구대상자로 하였으며, 자료수집은 2018년 2월 1일부터 2018년 4월 8일까지 하였다. 유머감각, 낙관성, 간호업무성과는 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 일반적 특성 중 간호업무성과에 영향을 주는 요인은 교육수준, 교대근무, 경력이었고, 유머감각과 낙관성이 영향을 미쳤다. 이 3개 변수의 설명력은 38.6%로 나타났다. 따라서 임상간호사의 간호업무성과를 향상시키기 위하여 유머감각과 낙관성을 증진할 필요성이 있으며, 본 연구결과가 기초자료로 이용될 수 있을 것이다. 향후 간호사에게 유머감각과 낙관성 증진 프로그램을 적용하여 간호업무성과에 미치는 영향을 규명하는 연구가 필요할 것이다.
