This study investigates the relationship of self-differentiation with individualism and collectivism among college students. Special focus was on whether distinctions between vertical and horizontal individualism and collectivism were more useful in examining the relationship with self-differentiation. The results reveal that different aspects of individualism and collectivism were differently related to self-differentiation, indicating that self-differentiation was negatively associated with all aspects of collectivism and with vertical individualism, but positively with horizontal individualism. This study proved that four distinct constructs were more useful in explaining the effects on self-differentiation. The implications of the findings are discussed for clinicians and future research.

This study analyzed how the relationship between eWOM (electronic Word-Of-Mouth) factor and eWOM communication depends on the cultural orientation of users in the online community.

본 연구는 개인의 다양한 문화성향이 맥락적으로 제공되는 정보의 인지와 태도에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지를 파악하고 효과적인 정보전달방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 개인 문화성향의 파악을 위해 개인주의/집단주의에 수직적/수평적 차원을 첨가하여 네 그룹으로 분류하는 Triandis(1988)의 척도를 적용하였으며 실험 연구방법을 통해 결과를 얻었다. 실험결과 수평적 집단주의의 성향을 가진 학생의 수가 가장 많았으며, 반면에 수직적 개인주의의 성향은 한국 학생들에게 드물게 나타나는 것으로 파악되었다. 회귀분석 방법을 사용한 맥락적 정보인지에 대한 조사에서 수직적 집단주의 성향의 개인들이 더 많은 맥락적 정보인지를 하였다는 결과를 얻었다.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship among the cultural disposition, morality, and psychological health of medical students to determine how these factors might relate to curriculum planning in medical education. Data was collected from a total of 186 medical students. The questionnaire used included the individual cultural disposition scale, the symptom checklist-90-revised, and the defining issues test. To evaluate individual cultural disposition, we classified students into four categories-low, individual, collective, or mixed cultural disposition-using individualism/collectivism and vertical/horizontal dimensions. We found that those who were younger and in earlier academic years had higher collectivism than individualism and the males had higher individualism than the females. There was no difference in morality or psychological health by the students' sex, age, or academic year. Horizontal collectivism and moral judgment showed a statistically significant correlation (r=0.150, p<0.05), as did stage 6 morality and symptoms of damaged psychological health (r=-0.156, p<0.05). Other than these relationships, no significant correlations between cultural disposition and morality or between morality and psychological health were found. Cultural disposition did have correlations with various aspects of psychological health; specifically, the highest correlation coefficients were found in the relationships between phobic anxiety and horizontal individualism, psychoticism and vertical collectivism, and hostility and horizontal collectivism. The four cultural disposition categories showed relationships not with morality but with psychological health factors including depression, anxiety, hostility, and phobic anxiety. We hope the results of this study can be used to improve the curriculum of medical education.

한국의 대학생을 대상으로 문화성향(개인주의-집단주의, 또는 수평적-수직적 사고)과 종결욕구 수준(저-고집단)의 조합에 따른 틀효과에서의 차이를 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 Singelis 등[1]의 INDCOL 척도와 이성수[2]의 NFC 척도를 사용하여 문화성향과 종결욕구 수준에 따라 집단을 분류한 후, 다섯 가지의 의사결정 시나리오에 대한 위험추구와 위험회피의 틀효과 차이를 비교하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 이득틀 조건에서는 위험회피 대안의 선택 비율이, 반면 손실틀 조건에서는 위험추구 대안의 선택 비율이 상대적으로 더 높았다. (2) 두 가지 문화성향(개인주의-집단주의, 수평적-수직적 사고성향)에 따른 틀효과 차이는 각각 유의하지 않았으나, 종결욕구가 높은 집단은 종결욕구가 낮은 집단에 비해 손실틀 조건에서 위험추구 대안에 대해 상대적으로 더 높은 선호도를 보였다. 마지막으로 (3) 개인주의 문화성향과 수평적 사고성향에서는 종결욕구 수준에 따른 틀효과 차이가 유의하지 않았으나, 집단주의 문화성향과 수직적 사고성향에서는 종결욕구 수준에 따른 틀효과의 차이가 유의하였다. 즉, 틀효과에 대한 집단주의 문화성향과 수직적 사고성향의 영향은 종결욕구 수준이 낮은 집단보다는 높은 집단에서만 관찰되었다.
