  • Mediation models are widely used in many fields of research and have recently gained attention in epidemiology. The mediation proportion is a standard measure to evaluate what part of the total exposure effect on an outcome may be explained by a particular mediator and to examine how important that pathway is relative to the overall exposure effect. A common question is how large a sample size is needed to achieve high statistical power or, equivalently, what magnitude of effect can be detected. Current power and sample size calculations for mediation analysis are limited and additional research is needed. We therefore propose a computer-intensive power analysis using the mediation proportion. We conduct simulation studies to calculate statistical powers and sample sizes. And then, we illustrate our power analysis using an example from the Adult Health Study of atomic-bomb survivors and demonstrate that the method is relatively straightforward to understand and compute.

  • 본 연구는 심미적 영향요소 중 전형성과 동시에 중요하게 인지되는 또 다른 속성 즉 비례(proportion)를 중심으로 소비자가 선호할 수 있는 디자인을 창출할 수 있도록 하기 위하여 제품의 범주화와 제품 형태분석을 통해 제품에 대한 이상적 비례를 도출해 냄으로써 비례의 조작만으로도 소비자가 선호할 수 있는 차별화 된 제품디자인을 위한 방법론을 구축하고자 한다. 이에 본 연구의 연구방법으로는 시중에 판매되는 제품들 중 비례가 중요하다고 인식되는 제품을 가지고 전형적 모델을 찾아 치수를 유추시켜 2차 자극물을 만들었다. (즉 전형적 모델에서 일정한 치수 변화를 주어 2차 자극물을 만들었다.) 이후 2차 자극물을 동질성분석을 통해 대표적인 2차 자극물들로 실험을 하여 그 제품에서 가장 이상적인 비례를 찾았다. 이후 황금 비례와 이상적 비례와의 관계를 살펴보고 제품들마다 이상적 비례는 따로 있음을 증명하였다. 즉 결론은 "신제품 개발시 비례는 주어지는 규격이 아니라 찾아내어야 할 선호 요소 중 하나이다"라는 것이다.

  • This research aims to analyze the effects of managerial overconfidence and corporate governance on investment decisions. Besides, it also tries to discover the effect of internal financing mediation between managerial overconfidence and corporate governance on investment decisions. This study employed panel data from 44 manufacturing companies from 2014 to 2019, out of a total of 117, thus the total observations are 264. The hypothesis was verified through structural equation modeling (Smart PLS 2). The study revealed as follows: 1) Managerial overconfidence has a positive and significant effect on internal financing, while corporate governance has a negative and significant effect on internal financing, 2) managerial overconfidence, internal financing, and corporate governance have a positive and significant effect on investment decisions, 3) internal financing partially mediated the effect of managerial overconfidence on investment decisions, However, internal financing does not mediate the effect of corporate governance on investment decisions. The findings in this study will help company managers implement good corporate governance to improve investment efficiency. In addition, managers can reduce the proportion of retained earnings and increase the proportion of dividend payout ratios, and increase the use of external sources of funds in making investments to minimize agency costs and manager's opportunistic behavior.

  • 본 연구에서는 사안의 심각성과 폐해의 막중함에도 불구하고 학문적 관심이 적었던 성인 대상의 사이버폭력 가해원인을 규명하고자 했다. 성인들의 사이버폭력 가해 행위를 예방하고 줄일 수 있는 합리적인 방안 마련을 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해서이다. 이를 위해, 매년 정부가 주관하는 <사이버폭력 실태조사>의 2019년도 결과 자료를 활용하여 2차 분석을 진행했다. 먼저, 조사 회사가 보유한 온라인 조사 패널에서 전국 17개 시·도를 대상으로 지역별 인구비례로 할당하여 20~50대 이하의 성인 남녀 1,500명을 추출했다. 이들을 대상으로 온라인으로 조사를 진행했으며 응답자의 51.5%가 남성, 48.7%가 여성이었다. 분석 결과, 사이버폭력에 대한 태도는 사이버폭력 가해 경험과 관련해서 성별, 연령, 가족 관계, 동료 관계, 인터넷 이용시간, 불법 콘텐츠 접촉 경험 요인 등과의 관계에서 완전한 매개 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 온라인 비행 동료 수와 사이버폭력 피해 경험에 대해서는 부분 매개 역할을 하는 것을 확인했다. 결과적으로 사이버폭력에 대한 태도가 성인들의 사이버폭력 가해 경험에 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 요인임이 밝혀졌다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 성인들의 사이버폭력 예방 프로그램 마련을 위해서는 사이버폭력에 대한 무관용적인 태도 형성을 무엇보다 중요하게 고려해야 함을 제안했다.

  • Purpose. This study was designed to analyze recent trends in Children Art Therapy Program Intervention research in Korea and suggest future research directions in this area. Methods. Studies(29) selected from http://www.riss4u.net for last 15 year were used. They were analyzed by publication type, field and design of the study, study participants and outcome variables used in intervention studies. Results. 1. As for academic field, there are 15 art therapy academic journals(51.72%), which made up the largest proportion. 2. As for subjects of the study, there are 17 articles of Elementary (58.6%) education, which made up the largest proportion. As for the subjects of sex, 8 articles (27.59%) are for male students, 7 (24.14%) articles are for female students and 14 articles (48.28.%) are for both male and female students. 3. As for 7 articles of Art therapy(24.14%), 7 articles of Group Art therapy (24.14%) made up the largest proporton 4. As for the intervention study method according to the subjects of suicide intervention program, there are 15 articles of monoclonal Pre and post design (51.72%),which made up the largest proportion. 5. As for the sample size, there were 16.79 persons in the treatment group on average, 13.28 persons in the control group have average and the total persons were 10 on average. The treatment period was 12 weeks on average and the average number of treatment times was 18. The places of treatment were 3 schools (10.38%), which made up the largest proportion. 19. The results of the experimental study support the research hypothesis of all 29 programs. Conclusions. As the above, the studies on the art therapy intervention program for children are increasing but the subjects are overly weighted toward elementary school students. Although the content of the art therapy intervention program was varied, it was found that the development of the program using various art media which can induce the motivation of the child was lacking. In addition, the place of experimental mediation was concentrated on psychology center as 12(41.38%), indicating that there are not enough places to connect with community organizations such as schools and hospitals. The variables of experimental study were focused on psychological variables and it was found that there were insufficient application of various variables including coping method, social support, and physiological variables.

  • Objectives: Adolescents are at risk of suicide. As suicide is a multifactorial process, risk and protective factors are relevant constructs for suicide prediction. This study explored the effects of risk and protective factors on suicidal ideation in adolescents on the island of São Miguel (Azores). Methods: A sample of 750 adolescents (male: n=358; 47.7%; mean age=14.67 years; standard deviation=1.85 years) from the island of São Miguel (Azores) completed several measures related to suicidal ideation and associated factors. Using a cross-sectional design, this study conducted descriptive, correlational, predictive, mediation, and moderation analyses. Results: Adolescents generally displayed high levels of risk and protective factors; an indicative proportion exhibited significant suicidal ideation with females presenting the greatest vulnerability. Furthermore, the results highlight that depression is the best predictor of suicidal ideation, however, the association between these variables is mediated. Conclusion: The data corroborate that the suicidal reality of adolescents in the Autonomous Region of the Azores is worrisome. Having substantiated the complexity of the suicidal context in young people in the present research, the need to continue studying risk/protective factors in this area is supported.

  • 소셜미디어 상에서 소비자로서의 자신을 얼마나 드러낼 것인지의 여부는 자기표현에 따른 긍정적 보상과 부정적 위협 중에서 어느 것에 보다 초점을 맞출지에 따라 달라질 수 있다. 또한 긍정적 보상과 부정적 위협 중에서 어느 것에 보다 초점을 맞추게 될 것인지의 여부는 자신을 드러내고자 하는 관계의 상대방이 누구인지에 따라 달라질 수 있다. 자기표현의 청중을 관계의 유대지향성에 따라 구분한다고 할 때, 직장동료와 같이 업무파트너로서 이해 증진에 목적을 두는 관계 상대방은 도구적 유대지향성의 청중이라고 하는 반면 학창시절 친구와 같이 우정과 같은 감정적 유대를 기반으로 하는 관계 상대방은 표현적 유대지향성의 청중이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 직장동료와의 관계에서처럼 도구적 유대지향성이 강한 상대방에 대해서는 자기표현의 실패로 인한 부정적 위협의 여파가 자기표현의 성공으로 인한 긍정적 보상보다 더욱 치명적일 수 있기 때문에 긍정적 보상보다는 부정적 위협의 예방에 초점을 맞춰 수세적으로 자기표현을 하려 든다고 예측하여 보았다. 실증결과는 페이스북 상에서 직장동료들의 비중이 증가할수록 수세적 자기표현에 의한 매개 효과는 증대되는 데 반면, 쟁취적 자기표현에 의한 매개 효과는 감소하고 있음을 확인시켜 주고 있었다.

  • This study uses [the instrument of ageing anxiety] in order to find if a negative prejudice against the old affects the attitude toward sex of the aged. The result shows no significant relation between ageing anxiety and the knowledge of and attitude toward sex of the aged. However, it does show that the higher the ageing anxiety is, the lower the knowledge of sex and the more restrictive the attitude toward it. The knowledge of and attitude toward sex of the aged shows meaninggul changes after education. Nursing students who were educated come to have more knowledge about and are more open to it. This result supports the preposition of this study. As society grows older the endeavour to guarantee a high-quality life for the old is necessary and the old should be regarded as an entity which has its own characteristic desires. Especially for the old to enjoy a good life as a sexual being, the mystical barriers about sex and old age ought to be removed. In the future the old themselves may maintain sexual desires regardless of age and society will be required to correct its prejudice against the old having sex. Particularly nursing students, as an effort to provide the old with overall care, should examine the elderly's sexual desires in a physical, psychological, and social context and consider the normal sexual changes occuring during the aging process and finally integrate this information into their nursing plans. In order to fulfill this role successfully they should overcome their own prejudice and educate themselves about this particular problem. As the proportion of the old becomes bigger and the concern about the quality of their life grows, sex among the old will become more important in the nursing field. By putting an educational mediation programme into operation with nursing students and estimating the effect, this study supplies the foundation to activate new educational programmes. In short it tells us that education can be a practical method to confront the myth and conventions concerning sex among the aged.

  • Small-and-medium sized enterprises(SMEs) represent quite a large proportion of the industry as a whole in terms of the number of enterprises or employees. However researches on information system so far have focused on large companies, probably because SMEs were not so active in introducing information systems as larger enterprises. SMEs are now increasingly bringing in information systems such as ERP(Enterprise Resource Planning Systems) and some of the companies already entered the stage of ongoing use. Accordingly, researches should deal with the use of information systems by SME s operating under different conditions from large companies. This study examined factors and mechanism inducing faithful appropriation of information systems, in particular integrative systems such as ERP, in view of individuals` active feedback-seeking behavior. There are three factors expected to affect end users` feedback-seeking behavior for faithful appropriation of information systems. They are management support, peer IT champ support, and IT staff support. The main focus of the study is on how these factors affect feedback-seeking behavior and whether the feedback-seeking behavior plays the role of mediator for realizing faithful appropriation of information systems by end users. To examine the research model and the hypotheses, this study employed an empirical method based on a field survey. The survey used measurements mostly employed and verified by previous researches, while some of the measurements had gone through minor modifications for the purpose of the study. The survey respondents are individual employees of SMEs that have been using ERP for one year or longer. To prevent common method bias, Task-Technology Fit items used as the control variable were made to be answered by different respondents. In total, 127 pairs of valid questionnaires were collected and used for the analysis. The PLS(Partial Least Squares) approach to structural equation modeling(PLS-Graph v.3.0) was used as our data analysis strategy because of its ability to model both formative and reflective latent constructs under small-and medium-size samples. The analysis shows Reliability, Construct Validity and Discriminant Validity are appropriate. The path analysis results are as follows; first, the more there is peer IT champ support, the more the end user is likely to show feedback-seeking behavior(path-coefficient=0.230, t=2.28, p<0.05). In other words, if colleagues proficient in information system use recognize the importance of their help, pass on what they have found to be an effective way of using the system or correct others' misuse, ordinary end users will be able to seek feedback on the faithfulness of their appropriation of information system without hesitation, because they know the convenience of getting help. Second, management support encourages ordinary end users to seek more feedback(path-coefficient=0.271, t=3.06, p<0.01) by affecting the end users' perceived value of feedback(path-coefficient=0.401, t=6.01, p<0.01). Management support is far more influential than other factors that when the management of an SME well understands the benefit of ERP, promotes its faithful appropriation and pays attention to employees' satisfaction with the system, employees will make deliberate efforts for faithful appropriation of the system. However, the third factor, IT staff support was found not to be conducive to feedback-seeking behavior from end users(path-coefficient=0.174, t=1.83). This is partly attributable to the fundamental reason that there is little support for end users from IT staff in SMEs. Even when IT staff provides support, end users may find it less important than that from coworkers more familiar with the end users' job. Meanwhile, the more end users seek feedback and attempt to find ways of faithful appropriation of information systems, the more likely the users will be able to deploy the system according to the purpose the system was originally meant for(path-coefficient=0.35, t=2.88, p<0.01). Finally, the mediation effect analysis confirmed the mediation effect of feedback-seeking behavior. By confirming the mediation effect of feedback-seeking behavior, this study draws attention to the importance of feedback-seeking behavior that has long been overlooked in research about information system use. This study also explores the factors that promote feedback-seeking behavior which in result could affect end user`s faithful appropriation of information systems. In addition, this study provides insight about which inducements or resources SMEs should offer to promote individual users' feedback-seeking behavior when formal and sufficient support from IT staff or an outside information system provider is hardly expected. As the study results show, under the business environment of SMEs, help from skilled colleagues and the management plays a critical role. Therefore, SMEs should seriously consider how to utilize skilled peer information system users, while the management should pay keen attention to end users and support them to make the most of information systems.

  • 의료사고에 대한 분쟁의 해결을 위해, 법원은 통상 진료기록에 대하여 의학전문가에게 그의 의학에 관한 전문적 지식이나 그 지식을 이용한 판단을 보고하게 하는 감정(鑑定) 절차를 진행하고 있다. 의료사고에 대한 감정의 결과는 전문가에 대한 참고 의견으로 증거방법의 하나에 불과하다. 그러므로 원칙적으로 법원이 그 결과에 대하여 기속되어야 하는 것은 아니지만, 법원이 의료사고의 구체적 경위를 비롯하여 의료과실과 인과관계가 존재하는지 여부에 관하여 의학적 판단인 감정결과를 온전히 배제할 수는 없다. 따라서 의료사고에 대한 분쟁에서 진료기록감정이 차지하는 비중은 높고 법원 등의 심증 형성에 중요한 영향을 미치고 있다. 본고에서는 의료사고에서 감정의 의의와 기능을 살펴본 뒤, 현행법상 진료기록감정의 양상으로 이루어지고 있는 법원에서의 진료기록감정절차와 한국의료분쟁조정중재원의 의료사고에 대한 감정절차를 각각 유형별로 고찰한다. 또한 우리나라 판례에서 진료기록감정회신에 대하여 어떠한 태도를 취하고 있는지, 외국의 제도로 일본의 경우를 살펴보아 우리나라에의 시사점을 알아보고자 한다. 특히 우리나라의 진료기록감정절차가 지니고 있는 진료기록감정회신의 공정성에 관한 문제, 진료기록감정절차의 지연으로 인한 소송의 지연에 관한 문제 등에 대한 개선점을 제시하고자 한다.
