Purpose: This study tested a model of hospice volunteer's motivations and outcomes to encourage more volunteer workers to participate in hospice care. Methods: This included 200 volunteers who attended the Autumn Conference in 2007 and 132 volunteers from five hospice organizations. Results: Volunteers' existential well-being affected an endogenous variable of volunteers' participation in volunteer activities. The durability of volunteer activity was affected by value motivation, the level of participation in volunteer activities and the level of job satisfaction. For volunteers' job satisfaction level, valid endogenous variables included existential well-being, social motivation, understanding motivation and value motivation. The durability of volunteer activities was indirectly affected through three different paths. Volunteers' existential well-being determined the level of their participation in volunteer activities, which in turn affected the durability of such activities. Social motivation influenced volunteers' job satisfaction, and then the durability of volunteer activities. Volunteers' understanding of motivation also influenced their job satisfaction, and then the durability of volunteer activities. Conclusion: Based on these results, this study proposes that the durability of volunteers activities could be improved by developing a program to improve volunteers' well-being and by providing volunteers with education on altruistic values, encouraging them to seek intellectual growth, and advocating them to continue volunteer activities based on close relationships with other volunteers.

This research was conducted to develop an assessment measure of attitude toward engineering. Based upon related document research and case studies, we came up with operational definition and category of attitude toward engineering as well as questionnaires to assess. After consulting with specialists and studying on relevant documents, we changed some of the 60 questions developed in the first phase or added new ones. One hundred and nine students who major in engineering were questioned by the 40 questions selected in the second phase. Using SPSS 14.0K statistics program, various techniques were used including factor analysis, validity analysis and correlation analysis. And the level of significance of statistical verification was 0.05. The result is as follows: Based on fundamental aspect of the attitude, this research focused on 3 different variables: cognitive variable such as 'attitude toward engineering value', affective available such as 'general attitude toward engineering and attitude toward engineering study', Behavior available such as 'participation in engineering activity'. Therefore, as a subcategory, attitude toward engineering value is classified into value as study and job, social value and personal value, general attitude toward engineering and attitude toward engineering study are divided into self-concept, self-efficacy, awareness, interest and cooperation. Also, participation in engineering activity is classified into attitude toward engineering study. After applying this measurement to the field, we integrated self-concept into self-efficacy, omitting one independent factor in the question. Finally, through Verimax, we developed 'Instrument of Assessment the Attitude toward Engineering(IAAE)' which consists of 3 variables, 9 subcategories and 39 questions.

Using Kohut's selfobject perspective as a foundation, this qualitative study explored the empathy with music and analyzed the empirical meanings in relation to 'Mirroring selfobject need', 'Idealized selfobject need', and 'Twinship selfobject need'. The participants included 13 music therapy graduate students who took part in individual interviews about their musical experiences. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed via content analysis. As a result, seven categories with 16 meaningful concepts emerged under three dimensions: Gratification of selfobject need for mirroring, gratification of selfobject need for idealization, and gratification of selfobject need for twinship. Participants described experiencing unconditional understanding and acceptance from music, feeling stronger and safer in music, and being identified with and connected to music. These findings suggest that participants continuously gratify their selfobject needs by expanding the self and empathizing themselves through music. This study in significant in that it is the first qualitative study to analyze participants' musical experiences from Kohut's selfobject perspective.

Previous studies have investigated the effect of empathy on relations. However, there have been few studies that found the effect of empathy on subjective well-being. This study aimed to investigate relations between empathy and subjective well-being. It was hypothesized that empathy had effects on subjective well-being in the mediation of self-esteem. Heo, J.H. and Lee, C.J. (2010) investigated the psychometric properties of EQ. However they did not do confirmatory analysis. So confirmatory analysis needs to be done in this study. Data was collected from 421 College student (male 192, female 225), and analyzed by SEM and path analysis. Results revealed that 3 factors model of EQ was proper, and EQ had effects on subjective well-being in the mediation of self-esteem. This suggested that empathy be a very important factor in our culture, and fulfillment of cultural task enhance self-esteem, which improve subjectve well-being. And cultural features should be considered in the study of empathy.

The purpose of this study is to provide a more persuasive organ donation campaign based on the understanding of the public based on the personal characteristics and value factors of various age groups. The influence of personal characteristics and value factors (organ donation attitude, organ donation knowledge, self - efficacy, internal medicine, attitude toward discontinuation of life - saving treatment) on the intention of organ donation among 20s to 60s or older was examined. Demographic variables that were predicted to affect individual behavioral intentions such as gender, age, and religion were included. The value factors were also included attitudes toward life-sustaining treatment and afterlife view to identify potential factors. The results showed that attitude toward organ donation, knowledge of organ donation, self-efficacy, attitudes toward life-sustaining treatment had a significant positive effect on organ donation intention.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between value types and life satisfaction of Korean university students. 275 students' scores for value types, positive·negative affectivity, and subjective well-being were obtained using questionnaires. Data was analysed by correlation analysis and path analysis. The results can be summarized as followings. First, the correlation between all negative affectivity and all value was not significant. Second, conformity, benevolence, self-direction·stimulation, hedonism, achievement and security value types were positively correlated with positive affectivity, whereas, conformity, benevolence, universalism and security value types were positively correlated with life satisfaction. Third, the student's higher scores of conformity, benevolence and hedonism value types induced higher level of positive affectivity, which, in turn, increased life satisfaction. The results suggested that value types can indirectly influence life satisfaction through positive affectivity.

The purposes of this study are two folds: (a) to identify the influences of tourism on subjective well-being, and (b) to understand the roles of travel motivation, constraint and personal value in subjective well-being. A polling agency was employed to select 500 respondents by quota sampling, and data was collected by online survey. ANOVA and regression results showed that tourism participants, compared to the non-participants, have a tendency to select tourism as a mean to enhance their subjective well-being because they are more self-motivated people. Their high motivation to take a trip lead to set up their feasible goals to achieve by the tourism experience and their relatively few constraints help them to have trip easily. The people's satisfaction in tourism contributes to the satisfaction in his/her leisure life, which in turn contributes to his/her subjective well-being. It is also revealed that tourism participation and subjective income level are significant variables affecting subjective well-being, which explain 21.1 percent of the variance. The research suggests various managerial implications to reduce constraints and several ideas for future researches.
