The purposes of this study are to test the learning effects of CAI in relation to the learner's locus of control and to test the interactive effects between learner's locus of control and types of learning control. In order to achieve the above purpose, a test was administered to investigate learner's locus of control to 160 First grades of J middle school located in Yosu. On the basis of the test results, the subjects who belonged to the extreme of both pole were divided into the internal and external control groups. Both groups were randomly assigned to teacher-control and learner-control types in CAI. After class, post-test on learning achievement was administered and ANOVA was employed to analyze the data. The research findings are as follows. First, as a result of learning through CAI, the learning scores of internals were shown higher than that of the external group. Second, learner-control group showed higher learning scores than teacher-control group. Third, there was not found a significant interactive effect between learner's locus of control and types of learning control of CAI.

Locals of Control is considered one of the main imporment factors on responsible environmental behaviors(REB). It is defined as an individual's perception of his or ha ability to bring about change through his a her behavior. This psychological construct is divided in two, external and internal. Internal locus of control(ILOC) is imporment as predictor for responsible environmental behaviors. This study was conducted to investigate the Locus of Control and relations with REB in Undergraduate Students. The data were collected mainly through questionnaires and a total of 157 responded questionnaires was analyzed for the study. The statistical methods used in this study were frequency, percentile and correlation. The major findings of this study were (1) Most of undergraduate students had internal locus of control(75.2%). (2) According to region, rural students showed high levels in ILOC and REB.

Surgical-orthodontic treatment is an increasingly more common dental procedure whose unique psycho-social or psychological feature has not been fairly quantified objectively. Since the treatment of a surgical-orthodontic (or orthodontic) patient is part science and part art, a subjective recognition of a patient about his or her own treatment may be more important than technical success during and after treatment. Therefore, the knowledge of the patient's underlying psychological status could be useful in the prediction of patient's response to surgical-orthodontic (or orthodontic) treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate and evaluate the psychological difference between conventional orthodontic patient and surgical-orthodontic patient by using locus of control (LOC) examination. Locus of control scale has been proven to be extremely useful in the prediction of a variety of human behaviors. Two types of locus of control data (I-score, Internal locus of control score : I-score, External locus of control score) were obtained for 42 surgical-orthodontic patients and randomly selected 42 conventional orthodontic patients (as a control group) matched for age and gender. No statistically significant difference was observed in the scale of internal and external locus of control between the groups of surgical-orthodontic patients and conventional orthodontic patients. However, in the group of surgical-orthodontic patients, males showed lower E-score (external locus of control score, higher internal locus of control tendency) than females. The results of this study suggested that the psychological background of surgical-orthodontic patients, in contrast with that of cosmetic surgery patients, has a similar disposition with that of orthodontic patients.

This study was conducted to identify the factors related to the cancer preventive behaviors of middle aged women. The data was collected from October $1^{st}$ 2012 to February $10^{th}$ 2013 from 114 middle aged women in four churches in B city. As a result, there were significant differences in the cancer preventive behaviors according to cancer preventive education, concerns about cancer information and the utilization of cancer information. The cancer preventive behaviors were weakly related to the internal health locus of the control, chance health locus of the control and self-esteem. In addition, there was moderate correlation between the cancer preventive behaviors and the external health locus of the control. Meaningful variables that explain the cancer preventive behaviors were the external health locus of the control, self-esteem, cancer preventive education in that order. The total explanation power was 25.3% and the external health locus of the control has most explanation power. In conclusion, it is necessary to develop nursing intervention and health education for middle aged women to raise the internal health locus of the control and self-esteem, and encourage attending cancer preventive education to improve the preventive behaviors against cancer.

This study selected 113 gifted underachievers and 128 gifted achievers from 17 elementary schools to examine gifted children's personal characteristics(self-concept, locus of control, and learning habits) that have an effect on underachievement. Self-concept(general self-concept and academic self-concept), locus of control, and learning habits(endurance, learning strategy, and learning motivation) variables were analyzed to determine gifted underachievers' personal characteristics. (1) Comparison of personal characteristics of gifted achievers with gifted underachievers indicated gifted underachievers had low self-concept, external locus to control, and problems in learning habits. (2) The sub factors of habits of learning motivation and learning strategy had the greatest effect on underachievement of gifted children.

The purpose of this study was to provide information about the development of curricula geared toward improving the oral health of college students and of oral-health education programs in an effort to teach college students to be knowledgeable about oral health throughout their lives. The subjects in this study were 455 students at three different colleges in Gyeonggi province, on whom a survey was conducted. As for the basic oral health care of the college students investigated, 54.5 percent had ever visited a dental clinic over the last year, and 34.7 percent had their teeth scaled over the last year. Regarding self-awareness of current oral health state, 77 percent felt there s something wrong with their oral health. Concerning the correlation of their oral health behavior and knowledge to each selected variable, better internal and external locus of control led to better oral health promotion behaviors and better oral health knowledge. As to their self-perception of oral health and influential factors, better toothbrushing, better dietary habits and periodical oral examination, which belonged to oral health promotion behaviors, were followed by better oral health locus of control, and higher concern for oral health led to better oral health locus of control as well. Better toothbrushing, better dietary habits, periodical oral examination and better internal locus of control were concurrent with higher interest in oral health. Better external locus of control and stronger concern for oral health were accompanied by better oral health promotion behaviors.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between health locus of control(HLOC) and eating behavior in obese middle school girls. Method: The sample consisted of 170 obese middle school girls in Seoul. Result: 1. The average scores of HLOC were HLOC-Internal ; 4.11, HLOC-External ; 2.45, HLOC-Chance ; 2.09. 2. The average scores of eating behavior factors were Disinhibition ; 2.69, Dietary Restraint ; 2.67, Hunger ; 2.55. 3. The HLOC-Internal and eating behavior(dietary restraint and hunger) were correlated positively. The HLOC-Chance and disinhibition was correlated positively. But HLOC-Chance and dietary restraint was correlated negatively. The HLOC-External and eating behavior(dietary restraint, disinhibition and hunger) were correlated positively. 4. There was not a significant difference in HLOC depending on the demographic characteristics(grade, degree of obesity, father & mother's body shape, existence of obese sibling). There were significant differences in HLOC-Internal and HLOC-External according to thinking about oneself who is obese or not. 5. There was not a significant difference in eating behavior depending on the demographic characteristics(grade, degree of obesity, father & mother's body shape, existence of obese sibling, perception of oneself as a obese). Conclusion: This study has shown a correlation between HLOC and eating behavior. As a result of these findings, clinical and school nurses should be involved in management and counselling of obese girls concerning individual health locus of control and eating behavior.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships among health locus of control, resilience, social support, and health promoting behavior in patients with coronary artery diseases. Methods: This study utilized a descriptive correlational design using a survey method. The subjects were 165 coronary artery disease patients at the cardiology out-patient clinic of the C university hospital. Data were collected through Health Locus of Control Scale, Resilience Scale, ENRICHD Social Support Instrument, Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and hierarchial regression. Results: There were significant positive bivariate correlations of health promoting behavior with internal health locus of control, doctors health locus of control, resilience and social support respectively, and correlation between resilience and social support. Among predictors, internal health locus of control (${\beta}$=.28), social support (${\beta}$=.28) and resilience (${\beta}$=.25) had statistically significant influences on health promoting behavior. Conclusion: These results proposed that internal health locus of control, social support and resilience have important influences on health promoting behavior. Nursing interventions to enhance internal health locus of control, resilience and social support might be essential for patients with coronary artery disease in order to promote their health behaviors.
