This research aims to examine the effects of various types of social comparison in SNS on users' life satisfaction. For this, this research posited four types of social comparison including upward contrast, upward identification, downward contrast and downward identification that might affect SNS users' life satisfaction. Several other factors including demographic variables, SNS usage time, offline social capital and social comparison orientation as control variables were taken into account and the moderating effects of social comparison orientation in the relationships between four types of social comparison and users' life satisfaction was also examined. An online survey was employed for collecting data and the date collected were analyzed with hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed that ages and marriage status have influences on SNS users' life satisfaction. It was proven that the degrees to which SNS users participate in family activities and club/group activities in which they are interested have correlations with their life satisfaction. The findings also revealed that only upward contrast and upward identification among four types of social comparison have influences on the life satisfaction and there is the moderating effect of social comparison orientation on the relationship between upward identification and life satisfaction. On the basis of the results, the necessity of new perspectives in understanding social comparison experience in SNS as compared to the existing literature were discussed.

지식인들의 지식체계는 개인적 삶의 차원을 넘어서 나라 전체의 흥망성쇠를 좌우할 수 있다는 점에서 중요하다. 올해 경제학계의 '시장이냐, 정부냐'를 둘러싼 논쟁은 한국경제가 새 국면에 접어드는 이 시점에서 새로 시작돼도 좋을 중요한 사안이었다.

Korean society is rapidly becoming an ageing society. The Korean may have to live longer than did their parents. Increasing life expectancy and changing social structure, Korean people are getting interested in quality of life, and well-being is becoming a matter of concern. And, the Korean is fully aware of the importance of health for well-being or good life. This concern about health may bring about specific behaviors related to health. Although health care expenditures of Korea are currently smaller than those of other developed countries, it is continuously increasing. Large portion of increased amount of health care expenditures is to spend for disease prevention and expansion of long-term care facilities. Constructs of well-being of the Korean, not living in western culture, may be different from those of people living in western society. Health is not top-ranked to importance for quality of life in previous studies. It does not mean health isn't determinant factor for good life or well-being. Health is an essential element for well-being. It has been proved in several researches which examined poor quality of life caused by certain diseases and management of health-related quality of life. Some theories relate to health-seeking behaviors suggested the health belief or the attitude toward health, intention to do health behavior, perceived behavioral control, and self efficacy as important factors which could predict health-related behaviors. With getting older, people decline in physical and physiological functions and become vulnerable to chronic diseases. Quality of life depends on how to adjust to these changes in senescence. Social supports, especially supports from offspring, are very important to quality of life in senescence, because supports from offspring have influence on pride of the older, they may be afraid of disclose the conflict with their offspring. Avoiding self-disclosure exclude other source of social supports and harm individual's health, therefore psychological intervention is needed to. Increasing life expectancy of the Korean, Korean government has to provide numerous long-term care facilities as well as psychosocial supports. The Korean, so far, does not recognize that psychologist could render great service to promoting individual or community health and improving individual's quality of life. It is highly expected that psychologists take actively interested and involve in health related to quality of life.

문화는 정신적인 것에서부터 제도에 이르기까지 인간의 삶과 관련된 모든 것을 의미한다. 대중예술이라는 측면에서 대중문화는 디지털 정보매체의 발달과 관련하여 고전적인 것보다는 개성과 독창성을 중시하고, 사회 문화적인 의미 이상으로 그 중요성과 영향력을 가지고 있으며, 규격화되고 획일적이며, 동질적 성격을 띄는 특성을 지니고 있다. 대중문화의 기능은 순기능과 역기능으로 분류할 수 있는데, 전자는 문화가 대다수 대중의 삶의 표현이고 문화적 풍요를 경험할 수 있다는 관점이고, 후자는 대중을 한 집단의 구성원이나 개인으로 인식하기보다는 무차별적인 집합체로 인식하고, 상업주의, 획일성, 저속성 등의 부정적인 의미를 내포하고 있으며, 대중문화가 사회의 도덕과 윤리를 저해한다는 관점이다.

65세 이상 총인구가 차지하는 비율이 14% 이상을 고령사회라고 한다. 우리나라는 지난해 이 비율이 8.7%에서 2019년에는 14.4%, 2026년에는 20%를 넘어 초고령사회로 진입할 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이러한 초고령 사회에서 노화와 이에 따른 질병은 개인에 있어서는 궁극적인 삶의 질 하락을, 국가에 있어서는 엄청난 재정 부담과 함께 국가 경제력 하락을 초래한다. 그러나 '99세까지 88하자(구구팔팔)'는 질병 없는 행복한 장수는 결코 꿈이 아니다. 지난 수십년간의 연구를 통해 노화의 원인들이 속속 밝혀지고 있기 때문이다. 월간 '과학과 기술'은 '노화'를 주제로 이번 2월호부터 10회에 걸쳐 연재한다.

Epicurus and Lucretius expressed that death is neither evil to the living nor the dead. On the contrary, our everyday perception of death is that death is evil. Such everyday perception might seem in lack of introspection and blind but our living environment and form of life are strongly supporting this perception. This paper argues that there is reasonable cause for believing death is evil. In order to justify this argue, this paper critically supports Thomas Nagel's 'Deprivation Theory', which identifies the cause of death being in evil in the deprivation of life. This paper investigates the main substances of 'Deprivation Theory, suggests the related problems and therefore reconstitutes the main arguments of 'Deprivation Theory, resulting in the investigation of the following facts; that we cannot avoid the fate of death, but that our existence is headed towards the future, and that as independent individuals we have infinite possibilities of life. Death is natural to humanity as species, but as independent individuals death deprives us from possible life and future. Therefore, death we encounter in our living environment and form of life is evil. As species, we can agree with Epicurus and Lecretius' view, but as independent individuals we cannot share them.

통신기술의 발전이 가져온 스마트 시대로의 진입은 다양한 스마트 디바이스와 콘텐츠 및 문화를 보급, 창출해내며 우리 사회 전반적인 라이프 스타일의 변화를 선도하고 있다. 특히 국민소득의 증대로 건강에 관한 소비자 욕구가 증대하면서 더 나은 삶의 질을 추구하는 웰니스가 급부상함에 따라, 치료 중심이 아닌 예방과 케어, 힐링을 위한 다양한 서비스를 위한 디바이스와 플랫폼, 분석기술의 개발 및 적용이 요구되고 있다. 또한 단순히 서비스를 제공받던 수동적인 과거 소비자 형태가 스마트 디바이스를 적극적으로 활용해내는 능동적 소비자의 모습으로 변화함에 따라 이러한 움직임은 앞으로 단순히 서비스 제공의 측면이 아닌, 웰니스 증진을 위해 특화된 스마트 디바이스와 컴퓨터, 소비자와의 상호작용에 기반한 기술로 발전되어갈 전망이다. 본 논문에서는 건강은 물론 개인의 라이프 스타일을 포함한 라이프로그 기반의 다차원적인 정보 수집과 체계적 분석, 그를 통한 모니터링과 맞춤형 서비스를 실현하는 개인화웰니스기록을 활용한 개인맞춤형웰니스 관리 시스템을 설계하고자 한다.

최근 질적인 삶의 중요성과 건강에 대한 필요성이 향상되면서 운동의 중요성에 대한 국민의 인지도가 증가했다. 체력적인 효과 심리적인 효과 면역효과 등 운동이 주는 많은 긍정적인 영향들로 인해 최근 건강관리에 대해 사람들의 관심이 많이 증가했으나 자신에게 알맞는 운동 방법을 알지 못해 정작 운동을 실천하는 수는 그 수의 절반뿐이다. 따라서 개인의 신체 알맞는 운동을 추천해 줄 수 있는 추천 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 신장, 몸무게, 나이, 주당 운동 횟수, 성별과 같은 개인화 요소를 이용한 협업 필터링과 k-nn 을 R 시스템을 사용하여 사용자 개인 맞춤형 운동 추천 시스템을 제안한다.
