속화(俗畵 또는 민화(民畵)) 속의 도입요소를 대상으로 식물의 상징성을 추적한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 우리 민족의 토속성 짙은 그림이자 상징적 의미를 담고 있는 '속화(俗畵)'라는 용어는 고려시대 이규보(1268~1241)의 '동국이상국집'에서 발견할 수 있고, 그리고 조선시대 초기 '속 동문선'과 강희맹(1424~1483)의 '사숙재집', 조선시대 후기의 '일성록(1786)', 유한준(1732~1811)의 '자저(自著)', 이규경(1788~?)의 '오주연문장전산고(五洲衍文長箋散稿)' 등에서 다양하게 추적할 수 있다. 특히, 이규경의 '오주연문장전산고' 인사편 서화(書畵)의 제병족속화변증설에 의하면 "민간에서 속화라고 불렀다"라는 기록이 발견된다. 2. 시대사적으로 한국의 속화는 농경문화의 자연관을 원초적으로 반영한 선사시대를 거쳐, 우주관을 반영하고 영혼불멸의 사상을 채색화 형태로 표현한 삼국시대, 추상적인 도형과 초자연적인 무늬를 공간 속에 상징화시켜 종교적으로 표현한 고려시대, 그리고 자연관, 심미적 가치, 상징성 등이 복합적으로 작용되어 대중화되고 한국 고유의 정체성으로 자리매김한 조선시대 등 시계열적 변화과정을 추적할 수 있다. 3. 한국의 속화 1,009점을 대상으로 분석한 소재는 식물요소 35종, 동물요소 37종, 자연요소 6종, 기타요소 5종등 총 83종이 출현하고 있다. 4. 속화에 표현된 식물 요소의 미학적 분석에 따른 형태미의 경우 모란도는 음양오행의 원초적 세계관을, 매화도는 역동적인 운치와 생태적인 조화원리를, 구도미의 경우 책가도는 복합 다시점 구도이면서도 강한 주목성을, 병화도는 역원근법에 의한 색의 강한 대비를, 독서여가도는 직선과 사선을 이용하여 자연과 인공요소의 질서정연한 균제미를 담백하게 표현하고 있다. 한편 색채미의 경우 오방색(동(東), 서(西), 남(南), 북(北), 중앙(中央)) 또는 오채색(적(赤), 청(靑), 황(黃), 백(白), 흑색(黑色))의 경우 주술적 또는 종교적으로 활용하거나 자연법칙과의 상관관계를 상징적으로 대입시키고 있다. 5. 한국 속화에 등장하는 각 요소들의 도입방식은 단순한 자연계 형태 모방을 뛰어 넘어 우주 내에 존재하는 본질의 의경을 통해 회화적 예술성을 바탕으로 자연관과 접목된 '상징성'으로 승화시켰다. 즉, 한국의 속화에서 추적할 수 있는 동 식물의 '상징성'은 종교적, 사상적, 생태적, 철학적 측면이 복합적으로 작용되어 자유 분망하면서도 독특한 표현으로 과학적 인식체계가 아닌 상징적 인식체계로, 현재 속에 과거와 미래가 공존하는 우리 민족의 집단적 문화 정체성으로 나타났다. 따라서 한국의 속화(또는 민화)는 우리 민족의 문화적 정체성이라 할 수 있으며, 우리 민족의 생활문화 속에 자연스럽게 배어든 자연관이자 토속성 짙은 의미경관요소로 해석할 수 있는 것이다. 그러나 우리 민족의 생활문화 속에 뿌리 깊게 배어 있었던 속화는 시대적 변천과정을 거쳐 그 의미와 감정이 현격히 퇴색되었다. 오늘날 주거생활이 아파트문화로 전이되고 가치관의 혼돈이 심화되는 시대적 상황 속에서 속화가 갖는 미학적, 상징적 가치는 정신적 풍요를 건전하게 지켜주는 상징 자산으로 전승되어 우리의 정체성으로 자리매김해야 하는 당위성을 갖는다고 하겠다.

The research conducted here focuses on the effect of factors that affect the behavior of UCC (User Created Content) website users, other than user's rational recognition of how useful a UCC website can be. Most discussions in the existing literature on information systems have focused on users' evaluation how a UCC website can help to attain the users' own goals. However, there are other factors and this research pays attention to an individual's 'personality,' which is stable and biological in nature. Specifically, I have noted here that 'extroversion' and 'neuroticism,' the two common personality factors presented in Eysenck's most representative 'EPQ Model' and 'Big Five Model,' are the two personality factors that affect a site's 'usefulness,' by this I mean how useful does the user consider the website and its content. How useful a site is considered by the user is the other factor that has been regarded as the antecedent factor that influences the adoption of information systems in the existing MIS (Management Information System) research. Secondly, as using or creating a UCC website does not guarantee the user's or the creator's extrinsic motivation, unlike when using the information system within an organization, there is a greater likelihood that the increase in user's activities in relation to a UCC website is motivated by emotional factors rather than rational factors. Thus, I have decided to include the relationship between an individual's personality and what they find pleasurable in the research model. Thirdly, when based on the S-O-R Paradigm of Mehrabian and Russell, the two cognitive factors and emotional factors are finally affected by stimulus, and thus these factors ultimately have an effect on an individual's respondent behavior. Therefore, this research has presented an assumption that the recognition of how useful the site and content is and what emotional pleasure it provides will finally affect the behavior of the UCC website users. Finally, the relationship between the recognition of how useful a site is and how pleasurable it is to useand UCC usage may differ depending on certain situational conditions. In other words, the relationship between the three factors may vary according to how much users are involved in the creation of the website content. Creation thus emerges as the keyword of UCC. I analyzed the above relationships through the moderating variable of the user's involvement in the creation of the site. The research result shows the following: When it comes to the relationship between an individual's personality and what they find pleasurable it is extroverted users who have a greater likelihood to feel pleasure when using a UCC website, as was expected in this research. This in turn leads to a more active usage of the UCC web site because a person who is an extrovert likes to spend time on activities with other people, is sensitive to new experiences and stimuli and thus actively responds to these. An extroverted person accepts new UCC activities as part of his/her social life, rather than getting away from this new UCC environment. This is represented by the term 'Foxonomy' where the users meet a variety of users from all over the world and contact new types of content created by these users. However, neuroticism creates the opposite situation to that created by extroversion. The representative symptoms of neuroticism are instability, stress, and tension. These dispositions are more closely related to stress caused by a new environment rather than this creatingcuriosity or pleasure. Thus, neurotic persons have an uneasy feeling and will eventually avoid the situation where their own or others' daily lives are frequently exposed to the open web environment, this eventually makes them have a negative attitude towards the web environment. When it comes to an individual's personality and how useful site is, the two personality factors of extroversion and neuroticism both have a positive relationship with the recognition of how useful the site and its content is. The positive, curious, and social dispositions of extroverted persons tend to make them consider the future usefulness and possibilities of a new type of information system, or website, based on their positive attitude, which has a significant influence on the recognition of how useful these UCC sites are. Neuroticism also favorably affects how useful a UCC website can be through a different mechanism from that of extroversion. As the neurotic persons tend to feel uneasy and have much doubt about a new type of information system, they actively explore its usefulness in order to relieve their uncomfortable feelings. In other words, neurotic persons seek out how useful a site can be in order to secure their own stable feelings. Meanwhile, extroverted persons explore how useful a site can be because of their positive attitude and curiosity. As a lot of MIS research has revealed that the recognition of how useful a site can be and how pleasurable it can be to use have been proven to have a significant effect on UCC activity. However, the relationship between these factors reveals different aspects based on the user's involvement in creation. This factor of creationgauges the interest of users in the creation of UCC contents. Involvement is a variable that shows the level of an individual's mental effort in creating UCC contents. When a user is highly involved in the creation process and makes an enormous effort to create UCC content (classed a part of a high-involvement group), their own pleasure and recognition of how useful the site is have a significantly higher effect on the future usage of the UCC contents, more significantly than the users who sit back and just retrieve the UCC content created by others. The cognitive and emotional response of those in the low-involvement group is unlikely to last long,even if they recognize the contents of a UCC website is pleasurable and useful to them. However, the high-involvement group tends to participate in the creation and the usage of UCC more favorably, connecting the experience with their own goals. In this respect, this research presents an answer to the question; why so many people are participating in the usage of UCC, the representative form of the Web 2.0 that has drastically involved more and more people in the creation of UCC, even if they cannot gain any monetary or social compensation. Neither information system nor a website can succeed unless it secures a certain level of user base. Moreover, it cannot be further developed when the reasons, or problems, for people's participation are not suitably explored, even if it has a certain user base. Thus, what is significant in this research is that it has studied users' respondent behavior based on an individual's innate personality, emotion, and cognitive interaction, unlike the existing research that has focused on 'compensation' to explain users' participation with the UCC website. There are also limitations in this research. Firstly, I divided an individual's personality into extroversion and neuroticism; however, there are many other personal factors such as neuro-psychiatricism, which also needs to be analyzed for its influence on UCC activities. Secondly, as a UCC website comes in many types such as multimedia, Wikis, and podcasting, these types need to be included as a sub-category of the UCC websites and their relationship with personality, emotion, cognition, and behavior also needs to be analyzed.
