The traditional Korean society has been classified as an Eastern collectivist culture, but in the flow of globalization and digitalization along with the post-Cold War era of the 1970s, Western individualistic culture and values quickly permeated the Korean younger generation. Since rapid changes occurred within a short period of time, there may be differences in cultural self-construal between generations living in the same era. Due to this, psychological problems related to emotional expression and suppression may appear differently depending on generations. Therefore, in the current study, 1,000 Korean adult men and women from their 20s to 60s were investigated for their level of independent and interdependent self-construal, alexithymia, ambivalence over emotional expression(AEE) and emotional suppression(ES). Then the relationship between the variables(self-construal and alexithymia,) and the mediating process of AEE and ES were examined. The generation of participants were divided into the industrialization cohort (birth year < 1970) and the digitalization cohort (birth year starting from 1970). Using the PROCESS macro(Hayes, 2022), we tested a serial mediation model of AEE and ES between the relative independent self-construal(RIS) and alexithymia. The results indicate that the level of alexithymia increases by the serial increase of AEE and ES when RIS decreases. Next, we examined a moderation effect of generatione on the mediation process of AEE and ES, and found that generation moderates the relationship between ES and alexithymia. That is, the effect of ES on alexithymia is significant for the digitalization cohort, while it is not significant for the industrialization cohort. The current results imply that emotion regulation strategies of Koreans have been differently developed according to prevailing cultural values in each generation, and that the negative influence of emotion suppression could be different according to the cultural background of each generation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among negative emotion, emotion suppression, job satisfaction and organizational commitment in Hospital Nurses. Method: The participants were 155 registered nurses working in 1 hospital in Seoul. Data were obtained by self-report questionnaires. Data were collected from October 1 through October 9, 2010. Data were analyzed using frequency and percentage, t-test, ANOVA and Scheffe's test and stepwise multiple regression. Result: The influencing factors for organizational commitment of hospital nurses were job satisfaction, position, total clinical career, and negative emotion. These variables explained 56.6% of the variance of the organizational commitment. Conclusion: These results indicate that improving job satisfaction is the best way to enhance nurses' organizational commitment and thus, a need to improve the job satisfaction of hospital nurses.

Recently, it has been reported that the positive emotional responses from previously consumed food could be transferred to the new food, affecting the acceptance of the food. This study was conducted to develop emotional lexicons for evaluating consumers' emotional responses to the food. Focus group interviews were conducted using 15 Koreans and 23 Chinese consumers to elicit emotional terms for Korean food HMR products. Using 23 Chinese participants who did not participate in the previous interview, emotional terms were screened through discussions in an interview setting. An online survey among 50 Koreans and 50 Chinese was carried out to evaluate and verify the valence and arousal potential of the selected terms. Elicited emotional terms in these two countries had similar valence and arousal potentials. However, cross-cultural differences were also found, mostly in arousal potential. Therefore, interpretation should be done carefully when comparing emotional responses between Korean and Chinese subjects.

We try to explore the effect of the emotions of viewers caused by the insertion of the in-program adversiging on the advertising effect. To test our hypotheses, we collected the data through two lab experiments and analyze the data with t-test. The results are as follows. First, high engagement to the media contents impacts positively on the feeling of viewer's irritation when the movie clip is interrupted and an in-program advertising is inserted. Second, the negative emotions of the irration are congruented, which affect the attitude of the advertised product negatively. On the other hand, the irritation caused by the in-program advertising had a positive effect on the brand awareness and memory(recall) of the advertised product because of high state of arousal. These results enrich the understanding about the role of in-program advertising which affect viewer's feeling and behvior. Moreover, these findings provides managerial implications to help advertising managers manage their in-program advertising more effectively.

Objectives: The current study aims to develop Korean Social Affective Visual Stimuli (K-SAVS) to arouse social affect. Methods: K-SAVS is composed of pictures of social situations among East Asians. Each picture contains a negative, positive, or neutral affect. Positive and negative stimuli were presented to one group of subjects. Negative and neutral stimuli were presented to another group of subjects. All subjects were required to fill out Affective Valence and Arousal Manikin. Results: In the initial test, 18 positive affective stimuli pictures (1 set) and 36 negative affective stimuli pictures (2 sets) were chosen from 95 stimuli pictures. Positive affective stimuli pictures showed higher valence (p < 0.001) and lower arousal (p < 0.001) than negative affective stimuli pictures. In the confirmatory test, 18 neutral stimuli pictures (1 set) were additionally selected out of the total of 79 pictures of neutral stimuli pictures and the pictures used in the former experiment. Neutral stimuli pictures showed higher valence (p < 0.001) and lower arousal (p < 0.001) than negative affective stimuli pictures. Conclusion: K-SAVS can be a valid and useful tool for inducing specific social affects of Koreans.

본 논문은 소비자의 리뷰 데이터를 기반으로 한 새로운 감성 분석 방법을 제안한다. 긍정, 부정, 중립으로 분류하는 전통적 감성 분석방법은 텍스트에 나타난 감정의 섬세한 차이를 파악하기 어렵다. 이에 본 연구에서는 GPT 모델을 사용하여 텍스트에서 사용자의 감정을 8 가지의 카테고리로 세분화한다. 부정적 정서를 가진 리뷰에서 분노, 혐오, 실망과 같은 구체적인 감정들을 직관적으로 파악할 수 있었고, 감정의 강도까지 파악할 수 있었다. 제안된 방법을 통해 기업은 고객의 요구 사항을 정확하게 인지할 수 있으며, 고객 맞춤형 서비스 개선에 기여할 수 있다는 점이 기대된다.

Various imperative statements that can be represented in the way in which the product or service is used describe how or how to achieve the goals, or induce or prohibit a specific action. This study focuses on The Effects of age and type of imperative sentence (directive vs. declarative) on behavioral intention and recall. As a result of the experiment, older people who have shorter lives remaining access information in a more emotional way, so they have been rejected by directive (vs. declarative) statements that felt more negative feelings, resulting in lowered behavioral intention. Conversely, the negative feeling caused by directive statements increased salience of directive (vs. declarative) sentence for older people more, which in turn increased memory for older people. Process analysis showed that emotions when exposed to statements mediated these results. The results of this study show that in order to improve consumers' behavioral response and/or the performance of information processing, it is necessary to deeply consider their age and how to construct the statement.

Many number of elderly people suffer from osteoarthritis, a degenerative arthritis. Korea is entering an aged society with a rapid increase in the elderly population. This increase in the elderly population has led to an increase in elderly osteoarthritis patients. Therefore, many elderly people are greatly hampered by the quality of life due to osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study is to clarify the risk factors of osteoarthritis and to investigate the relationship between negative emotional states and osteoarthritis. The results proved that demographic risk factors, anthropometric and biochemical factors, and health behaviors influence osteoarthritis. In addition, it was confirmed that negative emotions perceived by the elderly, such as depression and stress, should be regarded as main factors of osteoarthritis.

정신질환자들은 자기감정을 표현하는 능력의 결손을 보인다. 이러한 자기 감정표현기술은 정신질환자들을 위한 사회기술훈련 (Social Skill Training) 과정 중 하나로서 정상적인 사회생활로의 복귀를 위해 반드시 필요하다. 지금까지의 자기감정표현 훈련 및 평가 방법은 치료자 능력의 차이에 따른 주관적 판단이 개입될 수 있다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 가상현실 (Virtual Reality)은 컴퓨터를 이용한 최신의 방법으로, 최근 자폐증이나 공포증 등의 정신질환 분야에도 적용되고 있다. VR 을 사용하면 상호작용을 할 수 있고, 다양한 환경과 자극을 제시할 수 있으며, 3 차원 랜더링을 통해 몰입감을 제공할 수 있다. 또한 저장된 파라미터들을 바탕으로 객관적 판단을 할 수 있는 기준을 제시할 수 있으며, 안전하고 시간과 공간적 제약이 적은 환경 내에서 과제를 수행할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 자기감정표현기술의 객관적 평가를 위한 가상현실 시스템을 개발하고 정신분열증 환자와 정상인을 대상으로 실험을 진행하였다. 가상현실은 크게 긍정적 상황과 부정적 상황으로 이루어 지는데 집, 카페, 빵집, 길거리 등 다양한 환경에서 가족, 친구, 직장동료 등의 아바타가 실험 참가자에게 말을 건네고 참가자는 적절한 시기에 자신의 감정표현을 하도록 구성하였다. 실험을 하면서 정서 (긍정적 상황 Vs. 부정적 상황)에 따른 자기감정표현에 대한 파라미터로서 아바타가 말하는 동안 참가자가 아바타의 말에 주목을 하는 정도 (아바타가 말하는 동안 참가자가 아바타의 얼굴을 쳐다보는 시간)와 자기감정을 표현을 하는 시간 (아바타의 말이 끝난 후 감정표현을 시작하는 시간과 감정표현시간)과 상대방 아바타를 주목하는 정도 (참가자가 자기감정을 표현하는 중 아바타를 쳐다보는 시간) 등을 측정하였다. 측정결과 정상인이 정신분열병 환자에 비해 아바타를 주목하는 시간이나 자기감정표현을 하는 시간이 더 긴 경향이 있었다. 또한 부정적 상황에서 정신분열병 환자와 정상인 모두가 긍정적 상황에 비해 말하는 아바타에 더 잘 주목하였고, 자기감정을 표현하는 시간도 더 긴 것을 확인 하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 도출된 파라미터는 실험 참가자의 자기감정표현의 정도를 객관적으로 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 정신분열병 환자의 자기 감정표현능력을 측정하는 도구로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
