A random sample of 182 undergraduate students completed a questionnaire that contained measures of compulsive buying, self-esteem, and fashion orientation. Based on literature review, three hypotheses were proposed. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson Correlation, and Cronbach Alpha were used. The results found that the compulsive buying tendency is negatively related to self-esteem among college students among female college students. Also, the tendency toward higher levels of fashion-orientation was positively related to compulsive buying tendencies. Fashion major was more prone to have compulsive buying tendency when compared to business major. Based on these results, some implications for educators, marketers, consumers and would be suggested.

Total 1,406 studies which include the term 'bo-yook' and/or 'tak-ah' as their keywords were gathered from internet database, and finally 973 studies were analyzed. First, the results from this study showed that childcare studies had gradually increased since 1990 and approximately one hundred studies had been published per year after 2004. The growing tendency of childcare studies might reflect social and political concern about childcare in contemporary Korean society. Second, childcare studies were mainly conducted within the topic of childcare policy, childcare worker, actual condition in childcare service, and childcare quality. Lastly, special types of childcare such as infant childcare, handicapped childcare, extended-time childcare, and after-school childcare were rarely studied.

The importance of professor's outline in a feedback instruction was examined through various documents and the way in which the evaluation was fulfilled in Korean educational environment and its reflection upon the evaluation result were investigated by means of research. Based upon the survey results in connection with the progress and basis of teachers' on the spot feedback mathematics instruction in schools, it was found that most of teachers who engaged in feedback mathematics instruction were going over the most frequently missed problems. I proposed that we should bring up the point at issue and grasp its tendency of a class and entire group's results by means of a relative comparative analysis method, and thereupon establish a fixed category and choose substantial feedback scholarship according to that category. From this basis, the sub-sequent research topics include the substantial feedback effects of the selected problems that should be given priority, a group analysed and classified by means of comparison of tendency as well as feedback outline depended on students' characteristic, and the determining factors of tendency(a condition of professors, a level of students, geographical difference(s), and gender difference(s), etc...).

By this time, the study of mufflers has been progressed a lot. However, we don't have enough information about what some factors in muffler have an influence on transmission loss. So, we examined the tendency of the transmission loss depending on the porosity of perforated plates. We tested mufflers currently in use and changed porosity of perforated plates in mufflers to find out tendency of the transmission loss. As a result, the tendency of the transmission loss was shown differently depending on the position of perforated plate.

This research relates to the patent application tendency about the components and modules of the intelligent robot among the robotics industry in which the market is more and more expanded. The patent about the components and modules of intelligent robot was analyzed from not only Korea but also U.S, Japanese and Europe which is called as the 3 pole of patent. By this research the government which supervises the nation's research policy can obtain the objective information of the industrial tendency, so it can establish the investment policy of national research and development. And the researchers can set up the research direction for evasion from patent infringement trouble by obtaining the patent application information. This also shows whether their research can be competitive or not.

As the necessity of the special education for the gifted to develop their talents and national power is gradually recognized, many kinds of teaching-learning materials have been developed. However, the development tendency of the materials is not systematically studied because their database is not sufficiently constructed nor most of them are made public. In this research, we would like to provide the reference data to improve the quality of developed materials and reduce the deviation among the classified fields when we will develop the teaching-learning materials by collecting the already developed materials and analyse their development tendency by classifying them according to the contents.
