Purpose: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Questionnaire (PCOSQ) was developed to measure health-related quality of life of women who had polycystic ovary syndrome. The purpose of this study was to exam reliability and validity of the Korean version of PCOSQ. Methods: A sample of 101 women who had polycystic ovarian syndrome was recruited from outpatient gynecology clinics. Factor analysis was carried out to verify the composition of dimensions of the Korean version of PCOSQ. Concurrent validity was examined by assessing the correlation between the PCOSQ and health related quality of life, and convergent validity was evaluated by testing correlation between PCOSQ and depression. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's ${\alpha}$. Results: The content validitywas satisfactory (CVI=0.85). Factor analysis identified 5 factors, and factor loadings of the PCOSQ ranged from .48 to .90. Correlation was found between the PCOSQ and health related quality of life (Physical component score: r=.33, p=.001; Mental component score: r=.44, p<.001) and between the PCOSQand depression (r=-.36, p<.001). The Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ of the PCOSQ was .93, indicating reliable reliability. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that the Korean version of PCOSQ is a reliable and valid instrument for evaluating Korean-speaking women with polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This study investigates the influence of Likert scale formats such as the number of response categories and the inclusion of a mid-point from a methodological point of view using instruments that measure a fashionmarketing-related subject. Using a self-administered questionnaire, 201 respondents rated their economic clothing shopping orientation on three formats of scales that differed only in the number of response categories (ranging from 5 to 7) from February 8 to February 12, 2010. Descriptive statistics, Spearman's rank order correlation, t-test, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Pearson's correlation, and Cronbach's alpha were used in the analysis. The results are as follows. First, three scale formats were generally suitable for use due to validity and reliability. Second, the response results varied with the number of categories and the inclusion of a mid-point, although the differences were statistically insignificant (with only a few cases that differed). Third, construct validity was more secure in scales with fewer categories, whereas convergent and discriminant validity was generally good in all scale formats. Fourth, reliability coefficients were higher in scales with more categories. Fifth, the number of categories was of greater importance to instrument design than the inclusion of a mid-point. Implications for appropriate scale designs are suggested in this study.

In this article, the aim is at evaluating the knowledge level of the foodbome disease by developing a reasonable survey questionnaire model. Each questions of the questionnaire is made up to check the knowledge covering the several fields of materials related to the foodbome disease. The pilot survey is implemented to evaluate the validity of questionnaire. Each question in questionnaire is scored to get the quantitative measure of the foodbome disease knowledge by converting the total score into 100 points.

본 연구는 메타분석을 기반으로 한 편익이전 방법과 자료 수집을 위하여 지리정보시스템(GIS: geographic information system)을 활용하여 쓰레기 매립지 선택을 위한 7개 후보지들의 사회적 비용을 추정하였다. 그리고 MA-1, MA-2, 직접편익전달 방법을 타당성(validity), 신뢰성(reliability) 관점에서 검토해 보았다. 타당성(validity)은 메타분석을 기반으로 한 편익이전에 의한 추정치와 원래의 값의 차이의 여부를 통계적으로 검정하는 것이고 신뢰성(reliability)은 추정치와 원래의 값의 % 차이의 절대값을 이용해서 유사성을 검토하는 것이다. 연구 결과는 쓰레기 매립지 선택을 위한 후보지들의 사회적 비용이 직접 비용에 비해서 상당히 크고 주변지역의 경제적 특성에 의해 큰 영향을 받을 수 있음을 보여준다. 그리고 타당성과 신뢰성의 기준으로 메타모형들은 직접적 편익이전에 비해서 선호된다는 것을 보여준다. 메타분석을 기본으로 한 편익이전 방법은 시간, 비용, 혹은 자료부족 때문에 직접적인 방법을 활용하기 어려운 경우 하나의 대안이 될 수 있다. GIS는 각 후보지의 특정 지역 내 자료를 수집하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있다.

클러스터링은 주어진 데이타 집합의 패턴을 비슷한 성질을 가지는 그룹으로 나누어 패턴 상호간의 관계를 정립하기 위한 방법론이다. 이러한 클러스터링 기법을 위하여 많은 알고리즘이 개발되었고, 패턴인식과 영상처리 등의 여러 공학영역에 적용되어 왔다. 대부분의 실세계 데이타는 그 경계가 명확하지 않으므로 그 특성을 보다 정확히 반영하기 위하여 퍼지이론이 도입되었다.이와 같은 클러스터 분석 방법은 보다 적절히 으용하기 위하여 클러스터링의 적절성을 평가하기 위한 방법론과 함께 연구되어야 한다. 이를 위하여 각 데이타 패턴이 얼마나 잘 분류되었는지를 수학적으로 계산하기 위한 함수들이 제안되었다. 그러나 클로스터 타당성 문제는 주어지 클러스터링 방법론의 특성, 그 알고리즘에서 사용한 파라메터의 성질, 주어진 입력 데이타 집합의 특성 등 여러 복잡한 상황을 포함하고 있으므로 기존의 연구에서와 같이 하나의 함수를 이용하여 해결하기는 어렵다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 기존에 연구되어온 타당성 측정 함수를 조사하고 그의 단점을 고찰하여 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 4가지성능 측정자를 제안하고 이의 결합에 의하여 형성된 클러스터 타당성의 정도를 구하는 방법론을 제시하고자 한다. 또한 이러한 방법은 퍼지 클러스터링을 위한 학습 알고리즘과 결함하여 클러스터의 수나 데이타의 분포에 대한 정보없이 최적 클러스터를 찾아주는 방법에 응용될 수 있음을 보인다.

This study proposes a method to measure mental fatigue using speech technology, which has not been used in previous research and is easier than existing complex and difficult methods. It aims at establishing a relationship between the human voice and mental fatigue based on experiments to measure the influence of mental fatigue on the human voice. Two monotonous tasks of simple calculation such as finding the sum of three one digit numbers were used to measure the feeling of monotony and two sets of subjective questionnaires were used to measure mental fatigue. While thirty subjects perform the experiment, responses to the questionnaire and speech data were collected. Speech features related to speech source and the vocal tract filter were extracted from the speech data. According to the results, speech parameters deeply related to mental fatigue are a mean and standard deviation of fundamental frequency, jitter, and shimmer. This study shows that speech technology is a useful method for measuring mental fatigue.

Purpose: This Study was to examine to applicability of the Maslach Burnout Inventory on measuring burnout of the nurses who works in Korean university hospitals. Methods: The sample included 200 nurses and nurse managers. We used 22-item Maslach Burnout Inventory to evaluate the reported burnout. We evaluated the convergent validity through the factor analysis, and evaluated the discriminant validity through the Pearson's correlation analysis. Also, we evaluated the reliability for three subscales of Maslach Burnout Inventory with the Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, which assesses the internal consistency. Results: Factor analysis revealed three factors being extracted from the 22-item Maslach Burnout Inventory, and item loading for each factor is higher than 0.5. Therefore, the Maslach Burnout Inventory demonstrated high convergent validity. Also, emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment, and depersonalization showed low correlation leading to the conclusion that there was discriminant validity. The Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ coefficients in the 22-item Maslach Burnout Inventory and three subscales were higher than 0.7. Conclusion: Maslach Burnout Inventory can be used as a valid instrument to measure the burnout level of the nurses working in Korean university hospitals.

This study is intended to develop a scale to measure familism. Construction of this scale is based on a sample of 448 married males and females living in Seoul. This scale to measure familism is developed by employing a type of item analysis method called correlation analysis. 13 items are selected by correlation analysis, and these are found statistically significant even by analysis based on the criterion of internal consistency. Validity of this scale is evidenced by logical validation, jury opinion and independent criteria. Reliability estimate assessed by Cronbach's alpha coefficients is .759. This scale comprises the following 4 aspects of familism: 1) Support for filial piety and ancestor worship. 2) Integration of individual activities into family ones for achievement of family objectives. 3) Obligation to support individual family members and give them financial assistance when needed, on the assumption that properties such as land, money, etc. belong to family. 4) Mutual aid in psychological and social aspects between parents and married children, and married children and their married siblings. It is concluded that this familism scale represents an improvement on other measure of familism, but that a number of methodological issues remain to be further studied.
