Objective : The objective of this study was to examine the mental health status and its correlates of the marriage-migrant women in Seoul, Korea. Methods : One hundred and seventy marriage-migrant women and one hundred and sixteen married Korean women were recruited from community to complete Symptom Check List-90-Revision (SCL-90-R). Marriage-migrant women were also asked for their socio-demographic factors, acculturative stress, family-relationship stress, and social support. The scores on the SCL-90-R were compared between marriage-migrant women and married Korean women, and the correlates of marriage-migrant women's mental health were investigated. Results : Compared to married Korean women, marriage-migrant women showed lower levels of mental health problems including somatization, obsession-compulsion, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, paranoid ideation, and psychoticism. Longer length of residence in Korea, lower family income, social support, higher acculturation stress, and family relationship stress were all associated with mental health problems of marriage-migrant women Results : Our results suggest that mental health of marriage-migrant women is not necessarily bad, and several factors may affect their mental health. However, further studies are required in a larger representative sample to confirm the study findings.

Purpose: We examined tobacco use pattern and its correlates among older adults. Materials and Methods: We used data of 9,852 older adults (${\geq}60$ years) (men 47% mean age 68 years) collected by the United Nations Population Fund on Ageing from seven Indian states. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the correlates of tobacco use. Results: Current use of any form of tobacco was reported by 27.8% (men 37.9%, women 18.8%); 9.2% reported only smoking tobacco, 16.9% smokeless tobacco only and 1.7% used both forms. Alcohol users (OR:5.20, 95% CI:4.06-6.66), men (OR:2.92, CI :2.71-3.47), those reporting lower income (OR:2.74, CI:2.16-3.46), rural residents (OR 1.34, CI 1.17-1.54) and lower castes (OR:1.29, CI:1.13-1.47) were more likely to use any form of tobacco compared to their counterparts. Conclusions: Tobacco cessation interventions are warranted in this population focusing on alcohol users, men, those from lower income, rural residents and those belonging to a lower caste.

The purpose of this study was to identify the health promotion behavior and its related factors of persons who wanted a comprehensive health check-up in order to provide a basis for health education to promote health enhancing behavior. Study variables were induced from Pender's Health Promotion Model. The subjects were 160 persons who had a check-up at the health promotion center in a university hospital in Tae-Gu, between September 8 and 22, 1998. The following instruments were used in the study : Lee Tae Wha's Health Promoting Life-style Profile, Park Chai soon's Self-efficacy Instrument and Moon Jeong Soon's Perceived Benefit and Barrier Instrument. Data was collected by self-reporting questionnaire. Analysis of the data was done by SAS program, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson-Correlation Coefficient. The results of this study were as follows. 1. The average score for the health-promotion behavior was 104.64. In the subcategories, self-actualization showed the highest degree of performance and physical exercise showed the lowest degree of performance. 2. In the relation of general characteristics of subjects to the level of health-promoting behavior, the male, the married, the group with several symptoms showed a high level of health-promoting behavior. 3. The relationship between the degree of performance in health-promotion behavior and its correlates were as follows: Self-efficacy was positively correlated to health promotion behavior, while the perceived barrier was correlated negatively. But the perceived benefit did not show a significant correlation with health promotion behavior. Results suggest that the development of programs with strategies to strengthen doing physical exercise and concerning health, increase self-efficacy and exclude the barriers to health promotion is recommended to individuals seeking a comprehensive health check-up.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the individual and community level factors associated with physical activity and to identify its relative effects using a multilevel analysis among Korean adults in certain counties. Methods: A cross-sectional data of 39,547 adults (age range of 19~64 years) living in 82 counties from the 2013 Korean Community Health Survey (KCHS) was analyzed. Individual and social correlates from KCHS and physical environmental data from the Korean Statistical Information Service were collected. A multilevel logistic regression was performed using Stata 10.0 IC. Results: Multilevel analyses showed that the effect of social and physical environmental on engaging in moderate or vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was significant in comparison to the influence of individual correlates. The individual factors that were associated with participating in MVPA included gender, marital status, education, job, and household income. In the community level, social environmental factors associated with engagement in MVPA were higher satisfaction with healthcare service (OR=3.410, 95% CI=1.109~11.269), a high level of social support (OR=5.920, 95% CI=1.459~22.657) and social network (OR=1.025, 95% CI= 1.017~1.032). Conclusion: To promote moderate or vigorous physical activity in Korean adults in some counties, social environmental factors should be considered along with individual correlates.

연구목적 본 연구의 목적은 조현병 외래 환자를 대상으로 야간식이증후군(night eating syndrome : NES)의 유병률과 이와 관련된 임상적 요인들에 대해 살펴보는 것이다. 방 법 정신건강의학과 외래를 방문한 201명의 조현병 환자들을 14 문항의 자기보고 형식인 야간식이증후군 설문지(Night Eating Questionnaire : NEQ)로 평가하였다. 인구학적, 임상적 특징과 체 질량 지수(BMI)을 조사하였고, 주관적인 기분과 수면, 폭식과 체중 관련 삶의 질에 대해서는 각각 Beck's Depression Inventory(BDI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI), Binge Eating Scale(BES)와 Korean version of Obesity-Related Quality of Life Scale(KOQoL)를 이용하여 평가하였다. 결 과 조현병 외래 환자에서 야간 식이 증후군의 유병률은 10.4%(201명 중 21명)이었다. NES 군과 non-NES 군간에 나이를 제외하면 인구사회학적 및 임상적 특성, BMI에서는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. NES 군이 Non-NES 군에 비해 보다 우울했고, 수면과 폭식 양상, 체중 관련 삶의 질에 있어서 의미 있는 장애를 나타냈다. '아침 식욕부진'과 '지연된 아침식사'(NEQ에서 NES 핵심 항목 5개 중 2개)는 두 군간에 차이가 없었으나, '야간 섭식', '야간 식욕항진' 그리고 '기분/수면'은 NES 군에서 더 손상되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결 론 본 연구는 조현병 외래 환자를 대상으로 NES의 유병률과 관련 요인에 대해 기술한 최초의시도이다. 비록 NES와 비만과의 연관성은 밝히지 못했지만, 본 연구의 결과는 NES가 정신 건강에 부정적 영향을 준다는 사실을 보여주었다. 향후 이러한 결과를 뒷받침할 수 있는 추가 연구가 필요할 것이다.

본 연구의 목적은 일 도시지역 저소득 노인을 75세 미만의 전기노인과 75세 이상의 후기노인으로 구분하여 우울 유병율과 관련요인을 확인하는 것이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 60세 이상 국민기초생활보장 수급자로 434명의 전기노인과 206명의 후기노인이다. Yesavage등이 개발한 한국판 노인우울척도(Geriatric Depression Scale)로 측정한 우울의 유병율은 전기노인이 53.9%인데 비해 후기노인이 63.2%로 더 높았다. 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 전기노인은 주거상태가 자가인 노인에 비해 월세인 노인에서, 자가평가 건강상태가 건강한 노인에 비해 건강하지 못한 노인에서, 규칙적인 여가활동을 하는 노인에 비해 규칙적인 여가활동을 하지 못하는 노인에서, 규칙적인 식습관을 가진 노인에 비해 규칙적인 식습관을 갖지 못하는 노인에서 우울 유병율이 높았다. 이에 비해 후기노인은 사회적 지지가 낮을수록, 자가평가 건강상태가 건강한 노인에 비해 보통이거나 건강하지 못한 노인에서, 규칙적인 여가활동을 하는 노인에 비해 하지 못하는 노인에서 우울 유병율이 높았다. 본 연구에서 국민기초생활보장 수급 노인을 대상으로 우울 유병율과 관련요인이 전기노인과 후기노인 간에 차이가 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과가 저소득 노인의 우울을 관리하는데 있어 전기노인과 후기노인의 차이에 따라 차별화된 전략을 개발하기 위한 근거가 될 것으로 본다.

Spatial ability has been valued as a talent domain and important skill in mathematics education because it enhanced an intuitive view and an understanding in many areas of mathematic. In addition, spatial ability highly correlates with mathematics achievement, indicating its crucial role in success in mathematics education. Some researchers founded gender differences in mathematics and spatial ability, and indicated that spatial ability served as a mediator of gender difference in mathematics. This study explored the spatial ability of 349 Korean middle school students (Grade 7-9), and investigated the association among students' spatial ability and their mathematics achievement, gender, and grade. The result of this study shows that spatial ability correlates positively with mathematics achievement. While gender difference did not exist in mathematics, significant gender difference existed in spatial ability favoring male students.

Substance addiction is a chronically relapsing disorder that has been characterized by a vicious cycle composed of intoxication, craving/anticipation, withdrawal, and response inhibition/bingeing. Here we summarize the findings from neuroimaging studies in addiction according to these behavioral components and suggest the integrated neurobiological model of drug addiction and related brain correlates. The roles of various prefrontal regions, thalamus, memory circuit, anterior cingulated, and insula were also suggested in addition to those of classical mesolimbic dopaminergic system and its responsivity. Limited studies of behavioral addiction demonstrated a similarity with substance addiction on the neurobiological basis. Based on the current understanding of neurobiology of addiction, further researches on interactions of behavioral components and their brain correlates, behavioral addiction, and therapeutic applications will be desired.

This experimental research shows that, in reading of the English isolated words that are enumerated, the releasing of the word-final stop is employed for signaling enumeration in company with the well-known intonational pattern for it. Furthermore, this study tries to find the conceivable phonetic correlates of the releasing of the stop in word-final position, focusing on the association of the stop releasing/nonreleasing with i) the POA (Place of Articulation) distinction of the word-final stop, ii) the various qualities of the preceding vowel placed before the final stop, and iii) the voice distinction of the stop in the word-final position.
