The Korean version of the Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale for children(K-MSLSS) assesses children's subjective perceptions of Life Satisfaction(LS) in five conceptually relevant domains : Friends, School, Family, Living Environment, and Self. The purpose of the present study was to validate the five-factor structure of the K-MSLSS using Confirmatory Factor Analysis(CFA) procedures by means of the AMOS 7.0 statistical program. Of the 681 children(10.5 years, SD=1.1) recruited from three public elementary schools in Seoul 431 children were the calibration sample and 430 children were the validation sample. Results of the analyses found that the five-factor structure of K-MSLSS is applicable for use with Korean children from 9-12 years of age regardless of gender.

정상 성인의 경우, 감성 개념의 내적 차원 구조는 쾌/불쾌 차원과 각성/수면 차원이라는 이차원 공간상에 원형으로 분포되는 양상을 보인다고 아려져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 이차원 구조가 얼마나 보편적이고 일관적인가를 알아보고자 했다. 이를 위해 연구 1에서는 교차타당화를 통해 이차원 구조의 안정성을 검토했으며, 연구 2에서는 다양한 성격 특질을 지닌 집단을 선발하여 22개 단어를 짝지은 231개 쌍에 대해 유사성 평정을 시비고 다차원분석법(MDS)으로 분석한 후 이를 연구 1의 대학생 집단의 결과와 비교하였다. 연구 3에서는 낮은 발달 수준에 있는 아동 및 청소년 집단을 대상으로 연구 2와 동일한 절차를 통해 분석하였다. 연구 1, 2, 3 모두 감성 개념의 이차원 구조가 동일한 것으로 나타나 매우 안정적인 구조라는 것이 입증되었으며, 다만 아동 및 청소년의 경우 1 차원의 설명량이 정상 성인 집단보다 크고 각성/수면 차원의 설명량은 더 적었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 이차원 구조의 안정성과 일반화 가능성, 제한점, 그리고 집단의 독특한 특성을 반영하는데 이 구조적 틀을 적용할 수 있는 유용성에 대해 논의하였다.

Objective : Health literacy (HL) is, defined as "the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions." Being old is one of the main risk factors with limited health literacy. This study aims to adapt Chew's health literacy scale into the Korean language and validate the scale for the use of the elderly. Methods : Data were drawn from the '2016 Seoul Survey on Elderly Health and Functional Assessment, which includes a total of 725 people aged 60 to 79. The sample was randomly divided into two groups for reliability and validity tests of the modified Chew's scale of 8 items. The Korean version of the questionnaire was developed by group translation, expert reviews, and forward-backward translation. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to assess and validate the factor structure of the scale. Results : Results suggest the two-factor structure ("Understanding" and "Applying" of HL) with 8 items. Exploratory factor analyses of the first sample (n=400) revealed that the internal reliability of the scale was high (Cronbach's ${\alpha}=.904$). Principal axis factoring extracted two factors ("Understanding" and "Applying" of HL) and explained 78.3% of total variance (KMO=.872, Bartlett's ${\chi}^2=2431.3$, df=28, p<.001). Confirmatory factor analysis of the second sample (n=325) was performed and the two-factor model was supported (GFI=.960, CFI=.979, TLI=.969, RMSEA=0.075). Conclusions : This study provides evidence for adequate criterion and validity of the health literacy scale for the community dwelling elderly in Korea.

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the Psychological Difficulties Scale of Working Moms(PDSWM). In the first study, 69items and 17 factors of the inventory were obtained based on interview, open-ended questionnaires. In the second study, the on-line surveys from 306 working mom was carried to analyze factor structure of the PDSWM. The final result showed that the 12 factor model with 64 items was appropriate. The third study was collected from 638 working mom and in order to make certain the cross-validity of the inventory, the group was divided into two groups (each group with 319 employees). The results of exploratory factor analyses using data of group 1 showed that the 8 factor structure with 48 items was appropriate. Also the results of confirmatory factor analysis using data of group 2 showed that the 8 factor structure indicated a satisfactory fit. Final 8 factors were as follows: 1) Feeling Apologetic to family members 2) Discrimination at workplace 3) burnt-out: both body and mind 4) Unequal distribution of child-rearing and house chore labor 5) Conflict with the babysitter/grandparents 6) Limit in further strengthening work competency 7) Social prejudice 8) Difficulty being on time for work. The PDSWM was significantly correlated with various criteria such as organizational commitment, life satisfaction, and work engagement. Based on such findings, implications, limitations, and the suggestions for future study were discussed.

This paper discusses how we developed an index for measuring problem gambling severity and determined the cutoff score for identifying addicts. This index uses fewer items than the current index and will be particularly useful for telephone surveys. We selected four items among the nine Korean Problem Gambling Severity Index (K-PGSI) items based on our statistical analysis of a survey of 501 gamblers. We applied this four-item index to a survey of 1,584 adults. The analysis of this survey proved the validity of the reduced index. The sensitivity and specificity of this index was 1.00 and 0.99 respectively, showing again the usefulness of this scale.

This study aims to develop a valid self-report scale for the community integration of persons with psychiatric disabilities. To this end, conducted were in-depth interviews with individuals with psychiatric disabilities, consultation with experts, and a survey. First, literature review and the in-depth interview with individuals with psychiatric disabilities were collected questionnaires regarding the community integration of persons with psychiatric disabilities. Second, preliminary research 1 focused on the selection and modification of the items collected in the first research. Final 44 items were selected by the verification of the importance and content-validity of items under the advices of professionals. Lastly, preliminaty research 2 applied cross-validation method to the data from 524 cases in order to verify the factor structure and concept-validity of the items. The result of exploratory factor analysis shows that 5 factor structures are the most appropriate, and the confirmatory factor analysis suggests that the Self-reporting Scale of Community Integration for the person with psychiatric disabilities consists of 27 questionnaires which compose 5sub-concepts such as'psychological integration','physical integration', 'social support', 'social integration', 'independence/self-actualization'. Moreover, this scale was significantly related to the 'Life Satisfaction scale for the person with psychiatric disabilities'. This proved concurrent validity of the scale.

Datasets with small n and large p are often found in various fields and the analysis of the datasets is still a challenge in statistics. Discriminant analysis models for such datasets were recently developed in classification problems. One approach of those models tries to detect dimensions that distinguish between groups well and the number of the detected dimensions is typically smaller than p. In such models, the number of dimensions is important because the prediction and visualization of data and can be usually determined by the K-fold cross-validation (CV). However, in sparse data scenarios, the CV is not reliable for determining the optimal number of dimensions since there can be only a few observations for each fold. Thus, we propose a method to determine the number of dimensions using a measure based on the standardized distance between the mean values of each group in the reduced dimensions. The proposed method is verified through simulations.

The purpose of this study is to development and validate kkondae tendency scale. Kkondae tendencies are defined as "a response pattern to others in a way that values authority in social relationships, is self-centered, and does not accept other people's opinions," and the subjects of the study are workers aged 19 or older who act as seniors, seniors, and bosses in the workplace. In Study 1, 65 preliminary questions were produced with 7 factors for the compositional concept of kkondae tendency through literature review, expert interviews, and open questionnaire survey. In Study 2, a preliminary survey was conducted with 65 questions derived from Study 1. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted based on the responses of a total of 395 people, and 22 items for 4 factors were derived. In Study 3, this survey was conducted with 22 questions derived from Study 2. A total of 880 responses were analyzed, and cross-validation verification was conducted by dividing the data into two groups (Group 1 and Group 2). Exploratory factor analysis was conducted on Group 1 (N=429) to derive 19 items with 4 factors. The four factors are authoritarianism(3 items), egocentrism (5 items), inertial thinking (5 itemss), and one-sided communication (6 items). A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on 19 questions obtained from Group 1 for Group 2 (N = 451), and 19 questions of four factors were accepted due to the good fit of the model. To verify the convergent validity of the Kkondae tendency scale, the correlation with the Kkondae scale was examined, and to verify the criterion-related validity, the relationship between self-reflection, relationship conflict, social connectedness was examined. All were statistically significant, and convergence validity and criterion-related validity were verified. Finally, discussions on the process and results of this study, differences from related measures, academic significance, practical implications, limitations of the study, and future research directions were presented.

A long-range prediction system of tropical cyclone (TC) activity over the western North Pacific (WNP) has been operated in the National Typhoon Center of the Korea Meteorological Administration since 2012. The model forecasts the spatial distribution of TC tracks averaged over the period June~October. In this study, we separately developed TC prediction models for summer (June~August) and autumn (September~November) period based on the current operating system. To perform the three-month WNP TC activity prediction procedure readily, we modified the shell script calling in environmental variables automatically. The user can apply the model by changing these environmental variables of namelist parameter in consideration of their objective. The validations for the two seasons demonstrate the great performance of predictions showing high pattern correlations between hindcast and observed TC activity. In addition, we developed a post-processing script for deducing TC activity in the Korea emergency zone from final forecasting map and its skill is discussed.

본 연구에서는 현장 작업자 개인이 느끼는 심리/환경적 부하를 정량적으로 파악할 수 있는 척도를 개발하였다. 이러한 척도는 현장의 중간관리자들이 간단한 기구와 직접 관찰을 통해 쉽게 사용할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 심리적 작업부하 측정은 기존 연구와 현장 작업자를 대상으로 한 인터뷰 결과를 바탕으로, 타당도가 높다고 인정되는 심리부하 측정 요소를 결정하였고, 문헌과 모의 검사를 통하여 부 담감이나 편의(bias)를 줄일 수 있도록 문항수 및 어휘를 선택하였으며, 각각의 설문은 다양한 문체 중 가장 신뢰도가 높은 형태를 선정하였다. 환경적 작업부하 측정은 문헌 조사를 통하여 측정을 위한 요소를 결덩하였고, KS 규격을 기존으로 새로운 환경부하 측정 지침서를 개발하였고, 현장 예비조사가 실시되었다. 또한, 환경부하 측정결과를 지수화하기 위한 수리적 모델과, 심리적척도와의 통합을 위 한 수리적 방법론이 제시되었다. 이러한 설문 문항과 환경조사방법은 작업장을 대상으로 적용하여 실 제로 그 효용성 여부를 검토하였다. 연구 결과 이제까지 소홀히 여겨왔던 작업자의 심리적/환경적 부 하를 정량적으로 간편하게 측정할 수 있는 방법이 개발되었고, 정량화한 심리/환경 부하 척도는 이제 까지 주로 조사되었던 생체역학적/생리적 부담도와 더불어 종합적인 작업부하 평가에 일익을 담당할 것으로 예상된다. 또한, 이러한 척도에 의한 결과는 현장 근로자들의 근로여건 개선을 위하여 노/사/ 정부 모두가 만족할 수 있는 객관적 자료로 사용될 수 있으며, 예방차원의 안전관리에도 응용될 수 있 을 것으로 기대한다.구로 신체의 종합적인 만족도, 선호를 취급하고 있을 뿐 신체각 부위의 만족 도나 선호에 관한 자세한 고찰을 하고 있지 않으며 자신의 신체에 대한 인식도 및 실제체형과의 비교는 이루어지고 있지 않다. 이에, 신체 각 부위에 대한 인식도 및 실제 신체 측정치와 만족도와의 관계 및 이상형에 대해 구체적으로 파악할 필요가 있다. 또한, 신체에 대한 이상형은 시대의 여러 여건에 따라서 변화할 수 있으므로 의복 착용자가 의복을 통해서 표현하고자 하는 이상형의 시대적 변화를 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 신체에 대한 인식도 및 만족도, 이상형에 대한 설문지 조사와 신체측정을 통하여 신체 크기에대한 만족도를 객관적인 척도로 고찰하고, 이상형과 실제 체형에 관하여 고찰하고자 한다. 도한, 1992년도 자료와의 비교를 통하여 시대에 따른 신체만족도와 이상형의 변화를 파악하고자 한다. 이를 기초로 한 의복원형 제작 및 의복 디자인에 대한 연구를 통해 의복의 맞음새가 좋을뿐만 아니라 의복착용자들 에게 심리적 만족을 줄 수 있는 의복 제작에 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.적입지로 분석되었다.등 다양한 모형들을 고려해 본 뒤, 적절한 모형을 적용할 것이다. 가로망 설계 모형에서 신호제어를 고려하기 위해서는 주어진 가로망에 대한 통행 배정과정에서 고려되는 통행시간을 링크통행시간과 교차로 지체시간을 동시에 고려해야 하는데, 이러한 문제의 해결을 위해서 최근 활발히 논의되고 있는 교차로에서의 신호제어에 대응하는 통행배정 모형을 도입하여 고려하고자 한다. 이를 위해서 지금까지 연구되어온 Global
