In recent years, natural healing space studies have been done in health care and forestry. However, previous studies have focused on healing effects of natural elements in interior space or natural landscape view. And there is a limit to using the evidence for healing space design. The aim of this study is to discover the relationship between types and effects of healing space for evidence-based design. This study compares and analyzes the mayor images, psychological restorativeness, and satisfaction to identify the effects and differences of natural trail, designed trail, natural shelter, and designed shelter by types of forest space. Collected data is analyzed with a factorial analysis, valiance analysis and multiple regression analysis in SPSS 18.0. The results of this study are as follows: 1) Among five factors consisting psychological restorativeness, natural trail can be achieved with 'being away' and 'compatibility' and designed shelter can be achieved with 'fascination' and 'coherence'., 2) Psychological restorativeness values higher in images with higher excitement, brightness, vitality, and beautifulness as well as in images with lower level of disorder., 3) Among five factors consisting psychological restorativeness, higher forest satisfaction can be achieved with a higher level of 'being away' and 'coherence'. In conclusion, this study contributes to providing fundamental information for design guidelines of healing spaces through identifying the characteristics of healing environment by types of forest space.

This study assessed the experience of telehealth digital art therapy with a phenomenological case study method based on the need for a psychotherapeutic intervention of caring for the psychological health of self-quarantined people before confirmed with COVID-19. The research participant was a 17-year-old adolescent (girl) from Canada, who participated in seven sessions in a structured telehealth digital art therapy program for 90~120 minutes per session while she was self-quarantining. The analysis of the data was conducted in the process of assessing significant statements through content analysis and drawing themes based on the researcher's pre-understanding and epoche. As a result, 34 themes were drawn, which were classified into 10 common theme clusters and finally into three theses, including "psychology and emotions during self-quarantine", "limitation of remote digital art therapy', and 'positiveness of remote digital art therapy." This study is the case study of telehealth digital art therapy conducted first with a self-quarantined person before confirmed with COVID-19, and at the center of the crisis of COVID-19, hopefully, this study would provide important implications for "psychological quarantine," active self-care for self-quarantined people's psychological health.

This special issue examines factors influencing quality of life in Korean society. The special issue is based on the symposium, which was organized by the Korean Association of Psychological and Social Issues on August and December 2005. A review of the literature and also contributors to the special issue draw out six important factors that influence quality of life in Korean society: (1) financial stability, (2) harmonious interpersonal relationships, (3) emotional support, (4) psychological factors, such as self-regulation and self-efficacy, (5) academic achievement, and (6) health and leisure life. Koreans believe that financial resources are necessary in maintaining quality of life, and they must be supplemented with harmonious interpersonal relations in family, school and the workplace. As people become order, the importance of self-efficacy increases in order to maintain a sense of control in their lives. In addition, academic achievement, health, and leisure life contribute to quality of life. Finally, indigenous psychological analysis provides important insights into understanding factors influencing quality of life in Korean society.

This thesis is an psychological study investigating the meanings of skin from the perspective of analytical psychology. Skin, as the outermost layer of our body, protects the body and carries out essential physiologic functions. It is an organ of the body and also psychological contents can be expressed on it in various forms. We can find sociocultural connotations of skin, some of which are demonstrated in our language. Skin may become a carrier of persona which defines a person's role in the society. And it can be a place where ego is expressed. Eros is the principle of relationship by Jung's definition and skin is the space where eros is realized intensely. Skin may carry meanings as a symbol of transformation. Skin disease can be interpreted as a message from Self in certain cases. The theme of casting off skin in myths and dreams can be an analogy of an individual's sacrifice for individuation, and putting on a skin may imply taking special properties in psychological level.

Many studies in the field of information security reveal the need to increase awareness. However, although awareness of information security has been raised to a considerable extent, actual security behavior has been shown to fall short of that. Therefore, we wanted to identify the role of psychological factors in making information security decisions by conducting a experimental study. The results show that there are differences in perception of information security risks according to the probabilistic distance and the degree of relative optimism due to social distance. In relation to their relative optimism and intention of information security, they reduced the level of perceived risk compared to those close to them and found that their influence varied according to their probabilistic distance. This study has made valuable attempt in terms of methodology and it is meaningful that the psychological factor is taken into consideration for the information protection behavior, so that the range of relative optimism that actually affects the perception of risk is narrowed. It is expected to contribute to the improvement of information security level of information technology users and protection of information assets by empirically identifying necessity of various approaches to decision making process for information security.

최근의 고금리논쟁과 자본시장개방에 대응한 정책방안을 둘러싼 많은 논의의 핵심은 우리나라의 제반 거시경제여건을 반영하는 장기적 의미에서의 균형금리수준이 어느 정도인가에 대한 것이다. 장기적인 관점에서 볼 때 한 나라의 금리수준은 그 나라의 거시경제여건을 반영하는 균형금리의 추세를 반영하기 마련이며, 이러한 균형금리수준을 왜곡하는 정책 및 규제는 경제의 불안정성을 야기할 뿐, 민간부문의 규제회피노력 등으로 결국은 무력화될 소지가 높기 때문이다. 본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 금리변동의 요인 및 특성에 대해 세밀히 살펴보고, 국내외 실질금리격차의 실증분석을 통하여 그 구조적 원인을 파악하여 보며, OECD 국제비교분석을 통하여 현재 우리나라의 균형금리수준을 가늠하여 봄으로써, 향후 본격적인 자본시장개방에 대응한 통화금융정책의 모색에 하나의 지표를 제시하여 보려는데 있다. 본고의 연구분석결과에 의하면 우리나라의 명목금리는 실질경제성장률 외에도 기대인플레이션 및 경상수지적자와 밀접한 관계가 있으며, 해외금리 및 예상환율절하율도 점차 주요한 금리의 설명변수로서 나타나고 있다. 엄밀한 의미에서의 피셔효과는 기각되나 기대인플레이션이 명목 및 실질금리의 가장 주요한 변동요인으로 나타나 물가안정을 통한 인플레이션 기대심리의 불식이 향후 금리안정의 관건으로 분석되었다. 특히 통화공급의 유동성효과는 단기적으로만 나타나며 장기적으로는 오히려 금리상승을 유발하는 것으로 나타나 금리안정을 위해서는 안정적인 통화관리가 중요한 것으로 분석되었다. OECD 국제비교분석을 통하여 추정해 본 결과 우리나라의 1997년 균형금리수준은 회사채수익률 기준 약 11%대로 나타나 소폭의 금리하락 가능성이 있으나 지속적인 경상수지의 불균형 등 금리하락여건은 여의치 않은 것으로 보인다. 이미 자본시장개방이 진전된 OECD 국가들의 실증분석에서도 나타나듯이 금리의 하향안정화는 거시경제의 안정과 금융의 효율성 제고가 동시에 이루어져야만 가능한 것이다. 그러므로 향후 금리정책은 금리의 가격기능을 조속히 회복시켜 자원배분의 효율성을 극대화할 수 있는 시장메커니즘을 활성화하는 방향으로 추진되어야 할 것이다.

This study proposed a theoretical framework that could explain the service use of a community informatics. The proposed community informatics use model was developed based on three theoretical models: (1) Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) from social psychology: (2) Uses and gratifications approaches from media use research; and (3) Technology Acceptance Model(TAM) from information technology use research. The proposed model consists of three basic components: expectations of the outcomes from use, approvals from important others, and perceivied controllability over using the service. The initially proposed model was assessed using structural equation modeling, and then re-sepcified in order to propose a better fitting model. The initially proposed and revised community informatics use models were discussed with their theoretical and practical implications.
