The purpose of this study was to examine the dynamics of psychological and sexual violence in dating among high school students. Subjects consisted of 1,205 male and female adolescents from all parts of the country. 1,092 respondents were included in the final analysis(90.6%). For psychological violence, 13.3%(n=145) reported to have such experiences with a dating partner at least once or more. The most frequently used forms of violence were shouting, insulting language and behaviors, and blaming for a physical appearance. There were no sex differences in frequency of psychological violence between males and females, as an aggressor or a victim. Responses of victims were mostly negotiation and communication, and trying to forget it. For sexual violence, 27.8%(n=303) was found to have such experiences in a dating scence at least once or more. Hugging and kissing, close contact of parts of body, and gazing at parts of body were most frequently used forms. Responses of victims were pretending not to notice it and responding in the same way. There were significantly more male aggressors of sexual violence than females, but no sex difference in the number of victims. Those who reported to have experiences of violence were compared to the counterparts who had no experience in attitudes toward violence between dating partners and married couples, experiences of violence in childhood, school violence, and observations of violence between parents. Those with experience of dating violence reported to have significantly more experiences of violence in childhood and school, and parental violence. Based on the findings of this study, suggestion were made in regard to the need for development of dating violence prevention program for adolescents, and for welfare programs for adolescents in community.

Objectives: This study was conducted to examine the factors related to the perceived peer smoking prevalence for adolescents. Methods: A self-administrated questionnaire was administered to 352 students in a technical high school in Kangwon Province in May, 2002. The questions included in the questionnaire were concerned with the estimated number of smokers among ten students of the same grade in their school, the sociodemographic characteristics, the smoking-related behaviors and attitudes, and the smoking-related environments. All the students had their expiratory carbon monoxide level measured with EC50 Micro-Smokerlyzer? to verify their smoking status. Multiple regression analysis was applied for data analysis using Windows SPSS 11.5. Results: The former and current smokers overestimated the peer smoking prevalence. Multiple regression analysis for estimating the peer smoking prevalence for the male showed that the perceived smoking prevalence was higher in the female students than in the male students, higher in those students whose mothers had a higher educational level, who had smoked more frequently, who had more best friends smoking, and who had a higher actual smoking rate of the class. For estimating the peer smoking prevalence for the female, the perceived smoking prevalence was higher in the female students than in the male students, higher in those who smoked more frequently, whose five best friends smoked, who had higher actual smoking rate of the class, and who had smoking siblings. Conclusions: This study showed that a higher perceived peer smoking rate is related with their own smoking history and smoking frequency, the smoking related environment, and gender. Smoking prevention and smoking cessation programs need to focus on correcting the falsely perceived smoking prevalence.

최근 소아, 청소년의 비만이 늘고 있는 추세이다. 소아 청소년의 비만치료는 섭취열량과 소비열량과의 균형을 맞추는 것이 가장 중요한 원칙이다. 소아, 청소년기는 성장과 발달이 왕성한 시기이므로 단식, 절식 등의 식이요법만으로 단시간 내에 체중을 감량하는 것은 바람직하지 않다. '몸짱'같은 건강한 몸매는 운동을 통하지 않고는 이룰 수 없다는 인식을 심어주며 성장에 지장을 주지 않는 범위 내에서 적당한 운동을 유도하는 것이 좋다. 소아는 의지가 약하고 인내심이 부족하므로 부모와 가족의 이해와 협력이 필요하며, 아동이 좋은 습관을 가질 수 있도록 아동의 수준에 맞는 적당한 운동 프로그램을 제시하는 것이 요망된다. 아동에게 억지로 운동을 강요해서는 안되며, 본인이 재미있어 하면서 충격이 심하지 않은 운동을 선택하도록 한다. 하루에 1시간 정도의 운동이 필요하지만 전혀 움직이지 않던 아동은 수시로 짬짬이 움직일 수 있는 상황을 제공해주는 것이 중요하다. 비만은 체중을 단기간에 감소시키는 것이 아니라 '평생에 걸쳐 조절하여야 하는 것'으로 인식되어야 할 것이다.

In order to effectively help women problem gamblers, practical in-depth knowledge is necessary to develop intervention programs for prevention, treatment, and recovery among women problem gamblers.

Sixteen women gamblers who chose to live in the casino area were recruited through snowball sampling with help from a counseling center. Participants were individually interviewed from February to April 2013 and asked to tell their stories of gambling. Transcribed interviews provided data for interpretive analysis.

Four related themes emerged in the analysis-gambling as alluring; gambling as 'ugly'; living in contradictions; and moving beyond.
