The aim of this study was to examine the association between daily stress and smartphone overdependence among multicultural adolescents, focusing on the moderating roles of gender and age. This study performed a series of multiple linear regressions with a sample of 794 multicultural adolescents living with a foreign-born parent or parents from the 13th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey. The main regression analysis showed that daily stress was associated with higher levels of smartphone overdependence among multicultural adolescents. In addition, interaction analyses showed that the association between daily stress and smartphone overdependence was more pronounced for male adolescents compared to female adolescents, and for middle school students compared to high school students. This study concluded with some suggestions to address smartphone overdependence among multicultural adolescents.

우리나라에서 천문올림피아드의 시작은 천문학에 대한 청소년들의 관심 제고 및 대중화 노력의 일환으로 한국천문학회 산하에 설치된 한국천문올림피아드위원회가 2001년 제 1회 천문올림피아드대회를 개최하면서부터이다. 이와 함께 2002년 제 7회 국제천문올림피아드(IAO)에 한국대표로 3명의 고등학생들을 공식적으로 처음 참가시키게 되었다. 그 후 정부가 재정지원과 더불어 고등학교와 대학 입시에서 과학올림피아드 입상자에게 가산점을 주는 정책을 시행하게 되면서, 2007년에 천문올림피아드 국내대회 응시자가 1400명을 넘어서는 한편, 국제대회(IAO)에서는 2007년과 2008년 연이어 우리 대표학생들이 종합성적 1위를 달성하는 등 천문올림피아드의 양적, 질적 발전이 있어왔다. 그러나 최근 들어 입시의 과열과 맞물려 올림피아드 준비학원의 확산 등 사교육을 유발시킨다는 비판에 직면하면서 2010년에는 천문을 포함한 모든 국내 과학올림피아드대회에서 지필시험이 폐지되는 등 대대적 개편의 과정을 겪고 있는 중이다. 국제대회 역시 2005년에 아시아-태평양 천문올림피아드(APAO)가 창설되고, 2007년에는 동유럽 국가들이 주축이 된 IAO에 대항하여 아시아 국가들이 주동이된 국제 천문 및 천체물리 올림피아드(IOAA)가 새로 생겨나는 등 다양화되고 있다. 한편 우리나라는 2009년 전남 담양에서 제 5회 APAO를 개최하고, 2012년에는 제 17회 IAO의 한국 첫 개최를 앞두고 그 어느 때보다 천문학계를 포함한 우리 사회 각계각층의 전반적 관심과 지원을 필요로 하고 있다. 이에 국내외적으로 천문올림피아드가 직면하고 있는 상황 및 문제들에 대한 전반적 고찰 및, 설문조사로 나타난 천문올림피아드 참가 중고등학생들의 현황을 통해 천문올림피아드가 앞으로 나아가야 할 방향에 대해 전망해보고자 한다.

This study was conducted on adolescent high school girls who were most interested in their appearance to examine the makeup and cosmetics use of high school girls and to present their correct pre-made cosmetics use training materials. This survey was conducted after the modification and supplementation of the questionnaire. Most high school girls in adolescence begin to wear makeup out of curiosity at the age of 16-17, when they are in their third year of middle school and first year of high school. In other words, high school girls in adolescence begin to wear makeup as the effects of puberty lead to rapid physical development and physical change, and the desire to get attention from reason and others rapidly increase. It can be seen that high school girls who are interested in makeup actively manage their personal appearance as they explore the Internet, TV and other media outlets, copy female celebrities of their own age who appear in the media, and make them look strange.

This study attempted to identify the entrance exam stress levels in high school students and analyze the relationship this entrance exam stress and perceived oral health status. Self-administered survey was conducted in total 304 students attending in academic high schools in Bucheon. For analysis, SPSS was used to perform t-test and one-way ANOVA. As a result of the study, the entrance exam stress level of academic high school students was 2.71. The level of sub-factors were that tension for exam/poor result was highest by 3.08 and the next were future uncertainty (2.81), parents pressure (2.56), and insufficient free time (2.52). The group with high entrance exam stress showed significantly high perceived degrees of temporomandibular disorder, oral mucosal disease and xerostama. Among sub-factors of stress, the group with high tension for exam/poor result stress had significantly high perceived degrees of dental caries, teporomandibular disorder, oral mucosal disease and xerostama. Because perception on oral health issues increased with high entrance exam stress in high school students, it is necessary to seek some ways to decrease oral health problems even though entrance exam stress is intensified. To do so, it is inferred that it will be very important to promote oral health education to develop ability of high school students to practice correct oral management method.
