The influence of the visual information on the sound perception would be considerable. Furthermore, if the sound perception ranges in noisiness or annoyance beyond the loudness, it will depend much more on the shape of the visual information. This paper aims to estimate the influence of the several kinds of visual information on the perception of road traffic noise by means of the psycho-acoustic test method. The findings of present study on the influence of visual information on subjective noise perception are summarized as follows: Presenting visual images of mild and comfortable scenery reduced the noise perception reaction at the less noisy environments not exceeding 65 dB(A). At highly noisy environments exceeding 65 dB(A), however, the noise perception can be reduced by strong image of waterfall. Even eliminating the road traffic image may be helpful. Visual image of waterfall reduced the noise perception at all levels. It is inferred that the road traffic noise perception can be effectively ameliorated by presenting strong and real landscape images at any noisy environment.

Currently, the government has made a lot of efforts to improve construction productivity but there are few studies which measure between safety perception level and productivity in the South Korean construction industry. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze correlation between safety perception level of domestic construction companies and construction productivity. To achieve the objective, first, the concept of safety perception level was defined. Second, the safety perception level and construction productivity were investigated in the case projects. Third, correlation analysis was conducted between safety perception level and productivity. As a result, it was concluded that a high level of safety perception of executive and manager would increase construction productivity. In addition, To improve the safety perception level in the construction company, it is suggested that the provision safety resources for managements and the equal communication system between workers and managements and the development safety education tools considering the worker's experience. In the future, these findings can be utilized to develop future evaluation tools for a safety perception level in domestic construction company.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effect of self-perception on the relationship between body image and depressive symptoms in middle school adolescents. Methods: This study performed a pathway analysis with a sample of 284 adolescents recruited from three middle schools. Self-reported questionnaires consisted of items regarding body image, self-perception, and depressive symptoms. Results: Body image, self-perception, and depressive symptoms showed a significant correlation. Self-perception was directly affected by body image and depressive symptoms were not affected by body image. The mediating effect of self-perception on body image's impact on depressive symptoms was confirmed. Self-perception had a significant indirect effect on depressive symptoms, which means that self-perception has a full mediating effect on body image's impact on depressive symptoms. Conclusion: The effect of body image on depressive symptoms was fully mediated by self-perception in early adolescents. It suggests that self-perception needs to be considered when providing nursing interventions for adolescents.

This study tests the hypothesis that the voiced-voiceless distinction is influenced by the relationship between acoustics and perception. Production and perception tests are conducted with temporal cues in different environments(CV, VCV, VC). The result showed that acoustic cues indicating significant difference between voiceless/voiced plosives do not behave just as do in perception. The result also showed that there existed an asymmetry between acoustics and perception.

This study was to investigate factors of risk perception on major environmental issues among general public and environmental experts in Korea. Structured questionnaire surveys were conducted to samples from general public and environmental experts during March and April, 2000. Total numbers of respondents were 773, general public and 353 experts. Analysis of the data showed that risk perception was correlated with health concern, environmental satisfaction, perception of environmental pollution, interest on the environmental issues, knowledge, experiences, and social-cultural consciousness, and so on. Overall environmental risk perception was affected by knowledge on environmental issues, experience of damage from environmental problems, sex and perception of environmental pollution. According to the results, environmental risk perception is not independent from social and psychological factors, and it may be desirable to consider the related factors in the process of risk communication for a more effective risk management or environmental policy.

It is essential to get full social supports of our national parks for the achievement of long-term goals of our national parks. Thus the main objective of this paper is to identify major perception types of interest groups of our national parks. The research method is greatly indebted to Hofer. Two stages of questionnaire surveys were carried out to identify perception types related to national parks and the statstical analysis of perception types. The findings of this study are as follows. First, eight types of perception on national parks were selected through the statistical analysis of ten preliminary perception types; nature preservation, appreciation of scenic beauty, culture, recreation, research, education, ethics, and economy. Second, three or four phrases relevant to eight perception types were identified. Third, it could be concluded that perception types identified through this research are significantly different from those commonly perceived on national parks and natural landscapes in western countries.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the relationship between child abuse experience of childhood and child abuse perception in college students. Methods: The subjects of this study were 231 college students by convenience sampling. The collected data were processed using SPSS program and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation. Results: 93.1% of the college students were abused by their parents during childhood. Child abuse perception was very high with a mean score of 3.22(range 0~4). Child abuse perception was significantly different according to gender, major, perception of frequency for child abuse. There was a significantly negative correlation between child abuse experience and physical abuse perception. Conclusion: It is suggested that intervention programs to enhance child abuse perception will help reduce child abuse.

This study suggests the optimum interior environment by projecting the criteria to design the living space light-ing that select the lighting environment among the sever-al environmental factors that influenced on the human perception. As a correspondance between the visual perception and the lighting, visual perception process, vision system, and visual perception system are investigated to compre-hend the lighting, and then conceptual contour of the lighting environments are presented which are transmit-ted the visual informations. As a lighting factors which are influenced on the visu-al perception, light source color is analized. Foundationally, the effect of the lighting methods and the techniques are investigated, and the changes of the lighting methods which influences on the space perception are examined through the previous results. As the changing the light sources color, the changing the subjective feelings of space perception through the ex-periment. This study is concluded with the proposition of the ef-fective lighting and the importance of the lighting envi-ronment.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of children's perception of body shape and body image on their negative emotions. The subjects were 345 3rd and 6th graders. Questionnaires were used to investigate the children's perception of their body shape and body image, and negative emotions. Data analyzed by SPSS-WIN program included mean, standard deviation, ANOVA, Scheffe's test and regression. Results were as follows. (1) The 6th graders perceived their body image more negatively than the 3rd graders did. (2) The children who perceived themselves more obesely had more negative body image and more negative emotions than those who did not. (3) There were interaction effects among the children's grade, sex and body shape perception on their body image perception. (4) The regression analysis demonstrated that children's perception of appearance was more influential on the negative emotions than their body shape perception.
