This paper aims to study the using motivation and influencing factors of Chinese users' participation in live stream shopping through theoretical and empirical analysis, so as to evaluate the change in users' needs and improve marketing strategies. In doing so, I conducted a questionnaire survey for Chinese live stream shopping users and collected the required data. For empirical analysis, I used SPSS and AMOS software to carry out descriptive analysis, reliability and validity analysis and structural equation model analysis (SEM) to test the hypothesis. The results of the analysis showed that core competency and brand personality of the short video industry have a significant impact on user and customer perceived value, thus influencing users' using motivation. That is, users do not blindly follow live stream shopping but make their active choice. Therefore, it is suggested that live stream shopping platform should strengthen the e-commerce attributes and eradicate "the sense of false satisfaction", in order to achieve the effective communication of information. On the other hand, to stimulate the purchase motivation of users, the brand should build up its personality, and enhance user and customer perceived value in cyber marketing.

This study aims to demonstrate the longitudinal structural relationship between learner-centered instruction, learning motivation, growth beliefs, and academic stress. In particular, this study was carried out to focus on the structural effect of the related variables using data from the 3rd to 5th year of the Gyeonggi Education Panel Study. Results showed that while learner-centered instruction positively predicted both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation of learners, it predicted the former better. In addition, learner-centered instruction influenced academic stress through motivation, both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation were found to increase stress. Further, growth beliefs mediated motivation with learner-centered instruction; specifically, learner-centered instruction influenced learners' positive beliefs about growth, and learners who had growth beliefs had intrinsic motivation. At the same time, external motivation tended to be lower for learners who believed in the possibility of growth. Finally, the perceptions of learner-centered instruction affected academic stress through changes in growth beliefs. However, the other 3 factors (learner-centered instruction, learning motivation, and academic stress) were not statistically significant. In conclusion, learner-centered instruction was able to mitigate academic stress, demonstrating that this relationship is influenced by changes in growth beliefs rather than learning motivation, as previously studied. These results suggest that learners' perceptions and beliefs contribute to not only intrinsic motivation but also academic stress. Furthermore, it is suggested that learners need to change their learning environments in positive ways.

This study was a descriptive correlational study investigating the mediating effects of resilience in the relationship between depression and rehabilitation motivation in middle-aged stroke patients. There was a total of 185 middle-aged patients aged 40 to 64 years, who were diagnosed with stroke at a university hospital and rehabilitated at three local hospitals located in S city and four hospitals in U city. The data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire between the 1st and 31st of December in 2016. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and step-wise causal method using SPSS/WIN 22.0 statistical program. To test the statistical significance of the mediation effect, PROCESS and bootstrapping were used. The mean age of the subjects were $56.26{\pm}6.37$ years. There were 70.3% male subjects, an average depression level was $21.21{\pm}7.09$, an average resilience was $25.52{\pm}9.63$, and rehabilitation motivation was $47.44{\pm}5.87$. Depression was negatively related to resilience and rehabilitation motivation. However, resilience and rehabilitation motivation have a static correlation. These results confirmed that resilience appears to be a complete mediating effect in the relationship between depression and rehabilitation motivation. Therefore, it is important to develop a resilience enhancement program to improve the motivation of rehabilitation for stroke patients.

This study analyzes the motivation for selecting child-care profession, job environment, director's transformational leadership associated with child-care center teacher's (lead teacher and head teacher) role performance. The subjects of this study were 336 teachers (lead teacher and head teacher) who worked in a child-care center located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires. Collected data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 23.0 program using t-test, F-test, analysis of variance, post-hoc analysis (Duncan), Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The results of the study are as follows. First, the study inquired on if the child-care center teacher's general characteristics (year) influence the child-care center teacher's role performance. Consequently, significant differences were not found in overall role performance according to teacher's career but not in the child-care center teacher's age, academic ability, and licensing. Second, the motivation for selecting profession (teaching aptitude, teacher's desire for social respect, and possibility of self-realization), job environment, and director's transformational leadership had a significant positive correlation with overall role performance. The motivation for selecting profession (without motives) had a significant negative correlation with overall role performance. Third, the strongest predictors of 'overall role performance' were teaching aptitude, variable of motivation for selecting child-care profession, and director's transformational leadership variable.

This study explored the moderating effects of task difficulty for flow, learning motivation, and interesting in distant PBL classes of pre-service teachers. For this, the research model was constructed by analyzing previous studies. The research model verification was conducted by 105 students of taking courses in the curriculum. The distant PBL used a real-time video conference system. Cooperative activities were carried out in real time. After the end of the distant PBL activity, the level of learning motivation, interesting, flow, and task difficulty perception were measured. The collected data were analyzed using a test of the structural model invariance across the groups using a structural equation model. This analysis verifies the difference in path coefficients between measurement models. The control effect of task difficulty was verified through the difference in path coefficient. As a result, it was verified that interesting mediates the influence of learning motivation on flow. And the moderating effect of the perceived task difficulty appeared on the path from learning motivation to interesting.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the motivation for choosing a major, COVID-19 anxiety, and work values on the employment preparation behavior of health college students and to provide evidence for developing programs for employment preparation behavior in the future. Methods : Employing a random sampling method, a survey was conducted from April 22 to June 3, 2022, using an electronically-disseminated questionnaire with college students majoring in medical technician, health administration, and nursing from D and K colleges located in Daegu. A total of 402 students who fully understood and agreed to the purpose of the study participated. The SPSS statistical program was used to analyze the collected data, which were verified using correlation and regression analyses. Results : The results of the study are: First, employment preparation behavior was positively correlated to major selection motivation, COVID-19 anxiety, and work values. Second, significant relationships were found between employment preparation behavior and motivation behind choosing a major, work values, and COVID-19 anxiety, in that order. The higher the major selection motivation, work values, and COVID-19 anxiety were, the better the employment preparation behavior was. Conclusion : The study's results indicate that it would be meaningful to provide health college students who were highly motivated to select their major and who possess sound work values with well-prepared job training programs. Various activities organized by the school for improving the students' self-satisfaction and self-efficacy, which can strengthen their long-term work values, could also be provided. In addition, due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, college students may feel anxious about new infectious diseases that might occur in the future. Therefore, considering the contemporary situation, a helpful educational program will be invaluable to fit the pupils for life's battle after they finish their education.
