This study was intended to identify path structures through pathway analysis with an emphasis on the cognitive elements that influence the acculturative stress of marriage-based immigrant women. The results of the study were designed to establish a foundation for practical measures and policies to support marriage-based immigrant women to adjust their lives in the culture. This study has established research model on the path structure according to the psychological stress theory as to how social support, coping strategy, and acculturative attitude recognized as a cognitive element of marriage-based immigrant women on the acculturative stress and implement practical verification. In addition, control variables for the use of ages, education level, period of marriage, and income level of socio-demographic variables were analyzed. To obtain data for the study, convenience sampling and snowball sampling of marriage-based immigrant women that resided in the area of C and J were conducted simultaneously through surveys and applied to the analysis of 204 cases. Analysis of the path structure of influence of social support, coping strategies, and acculturative attitudes that were perceived as a cognitive element of marriage-based immigrant women influencing acculturative stress revealed that these factors were specifically weighted towards acculturative. Moreover, comprehensive acculturative attitude was identified as a crucial variable reducing the effects of acculturative stress during the acculturative procedures of marriage-based immigrant women. This assumes that establishing and performing policies supporting co-existence of homeland cultures of marriage-based immigrant women and Korean cultures might be an efficient action for dealing with acculturative stress rather than forcing them to adjust to Korean culture.

The purpose of current study was to examine how the attitudes toward culture and the experiences of cultural exchanges could influence on the multi-cultural awareness in health science college students in South Korea. Convenience sampling was conducted for data collection; thus, total 407 health science college students of ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ University in K province were recruited and asked to complete the survey for this study. As a result, those who had the experiences of contacting immigrants, had the experiences of contacting immigrants via the school activities, and took the classes related with multi-culturalism showed high multi-cultural awareness. In addition, attitudes toward culture and experiences of cultural exchanges showed positive relationship with a multi-cultural awareness. At last, based on the regression analysis, attitudes toward culture and experiences of cultural exchanges showed significant influences on the multi-cultural awareness in health science college students in South Korea. Health science students could play important role in immigrants' physical and psychological health care in the future. Based on the findings of this study, we strongly suggest to provide proper education and various activities of multi-culturalism to those students. It would lead to a high quality of care and firm health care system for the immigrant population residing South Korea.

This study was conducted to investigate students' perception of the integration of Chinese ethnic minority culture into the college EFL teaching which was carried out in the fall and spring semesters with different presentation topics. One and the same questionnaire was distributed to 61 participants, involving Han Chinese and Chinese ethnic minority students, at a university in ethnic minority area in China at the end of each semester, and SPSS 20.0 was used for t-test to analyze the data. The research results showed that Chinese undergraduates have got more significant improvements in cultural cognition, emotions, attitudes, and multi-cultural values in the spring semester than those in the fall semester. All participants benefit a lot from multi-cultural activities without significant differences between Han Chinese and ethnic minority students in both semesters. It is suggested that ethnic minority culture be integrated into the college EFL teaching, along with English culture and Chinese mainstream culture, which be administered as a practical teaching mode to develop students' intercultural competence.

The present study was conducted to examine the effect of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control in explaining multicultural receptive behavior intention as well as multicultural receptive behavior, i.e., test the theory of planned behavior(Ajzen, 1991), to investigate the role of Korean social identity in the prediction of multicultural receptive behavior, and to investigate the role of stereotype and prejudice(i.e. attitude about object) in the prediction of multicultural receptive behavior. A sample of 505 undergraduate participated in the survey. The results from stepwise regression analyses indicated that the multicultural receptive intention was explained 47.4% by the theory of planned behavior, while multicultural receptive behavior was explained 61.1% by this theory. When the Korean social identity, stereotype and prejudice were added into the stepwise regression analysis, the variance was increased to 51.8% for multicultural receptive intention and 65.9% for multicultural receptive behavior. Furthermore, the influence of the Korean social identity on multicultural receptive intention/behavior was weak, but the influence of the stereotype on multicultural receptive behavior was strong. Finally the implications and limitations of the present study as well as the future directions of this area were discussed.

사람들은 누구나 시간과 장소를 구분하지 아니하고 의사결정을 내려야 할 상황에 처하게 된다. 특히 조종사의 경우에는 의사결정을 하여야 할 상황이 보다 시간적으로 제한되어 있고, 또 다른 어떤 경우보다 그 내용이 더 복잡하다는 특성을 가지고 있다. 특히 항공기 운항중 발생하는 조종사의 의사결정은 그 방법에 따라 결과는 아주 다른 양상으로 나타나게 되는데 합리적인 의사결정이 이루어졌다면 그 결과는 안전성과 경제성이 동시에 실현되지만 합리적으로 의사결정이 이루어지지 못하였다면 항공기 사고라는 최악의 사태로 이어지게 된다. 그러나 현실적으로는 조종사들이 사회, 문화적 특성과 개인적인 태도 및 성격에 따라 집단내 구성원들의 의사를 종합하여 의사결정을 얻지 못하고 경우에 따라서는 기장 개인의 능력에 따라 의사결정이 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 점에 착안하여 본 연구에서는 조종사의 합리적인 의사결정에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 분야별로 내용을 분석하고 의사결정의 이론적 고찰을 통해 조종사의 합리적인 의사결정을 위한 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 특히 조종사 자격 관리 및 능력개발 프로그램시 태도 변화를 위한 교육이 우선해야 한다는 것과 그리고 미국의 여러 기관에서 연구 수행한 결과를 인용하여 조종사의 태도분석방법을 소개함으로써 조종사 자신들이 직접 지니고 있는 위험한 태도 요소를 자각할 수 있도록 하였으며 이에 대한 행동상 지켜야 할 원칙을 제시하여 자신이 의사결정을 해야하는 경우 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 앞으로 이와 관련하는 지속적인 연구를 함으로서 합리적인 의사결정을 위한 요인들의 상관관계를 분석하고 항공기 운항분야중에서 부분적이나마 정형적인 의사결정모델이 개발될 때 항공기 안전운항에 크게 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
