The aim of this study was to analyze the impacts of perceived economic instability on drinking frequency in the mist of exercising the strong social distancing in the early phase of COVID19 pandemic. The data were collected from 1,117 adults aged between 19 and 70 across the nation from May 13 to May 19 in 2020 by Embrain, an on-line research company. We used only 820(73.4%) out of 1,117 who answered that they had a drinking in 2020. Bi-variate analysis and multivariate multinomial logistic regression were performed using STATA16. Multinomial logistic regression results showed that the increase of employment instability was related to the increase of drinking frequency, whereas the increase of income instability was related to the decrease of drinking frequency. In sum, the impact of perceived economic instability during the early phase of pandemic may be presented as an increase or decrease of drinking frequency depending on the effect of employment instability and income instability.

Social anxiety continues due to the emergence and spread of covid-19 infections. In this situation, false information related to the covid-19 infection is distributed through SNS in the form of fake news, which is a stumbling block to overcoming the national crisis. This study tried to present a theoretical basis for the establishment of policies for the regulation and eradication of fake news circulated through SNS by examining the effect of social anxiety on the fake news acceptance attitude by focusing on the use degree of SNS. For this study, a survey of 380 university students in the Seoul metropolitan area was conducted, and 336 data collected among them were analyzed as SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 23.0. According to the analysis results, social anxiety has a positive effect on the fake news acceptance attitude and the use degree of SNS, also the use degree of SNS has a positive effect on the fake news acceptance attitude. In addition, social anxiety has been confirmed to have a positive effect on fake news acceptance attitude through the use degree of SNS. These results empirically confirm the relationship between social anxiety, fake news acceptance attitude, and the use degree of SNS.

본 연구는 모바일기기 사용자들의 특성을 알아보고자 사용자들의 모바일기기 휴대의도에 영향을 미치는 변수들을 기준으로 사용자들을 세분화 하였다. 선행문헌연구를 통해 휴대의도에 영향을 미치는 변수들로 유용성, 즐거움, 불안감과 사회적 영향인 주관적 규범, 가시성, 이미지, 자발성 등을 도출하였다. 자료수집을 위해 서울 및 수도권에 거주하고 휴대폰이나 노트북, PDA등을 소유한 대학생 및 대학원생과 직장인들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 휴대의도의 영향변수 분석결과 불안감과 주관적 규범이 휴대의도에 유의한 양의 영향을 미치는 것으로 검증되었다. 이를 기준변수로 군집분석을 통해 전체 표본을 네 집단으로 세분화 하였다. 세분화 결과 군집 1은 주관적 규범만이 영향을 미치는 집단으로 전체응답의 36.25%를 차지하고 있으며, 군집 2는 불안감만이 영향을 미치는 집단으로 전체 응답의 13.44%를 구성하는 것으로 나타났다. 군집 3은 불안감과 주관적 규범 모두 영향을 미치지 않는 집단으로서 전체 응답에서 19.06%를 차지하고 마지막으로 군집 4는 불안감과 주관적 규범 모두 영향을 미치는 집단으로 전체응답의 31.25%를 구성하는 것으로 나타났다.

최근 여성이나 아동, 장애인 등의 사회적 약자를 대상으로 하는 흉악 범죄의 빈도수가 늘어나면서, 사회적 불안감이 점점 높아지고 있다. 이러한 사회적 불안감을 줄이고, 안전보장에 대한 요구를 충족하고자 기업체와 관련 정부기관에서는 국민의 안전보장 대책들을 내놓고 있다. 스마트기기에서의 GPS 등을 활용한 위치정보의 정확성이 날로 높아지고, 이에 기반을 둔 위치기반서비스의 발전에 힘입어, 이에 대한 대책 중 하나로 개인위치정보에 기반을 둔 개인 안전 서비스와 시스템을 다양하게 제시하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재 시중에서 이용되고 있는 각 개인 안전 서비스 및 어플리케이션을 분석하였다.

This study examined the effects of perceived value (functional value, social value) and stress (complexity, insecurity) on continuous intention in SNS. In particular, this study examined the direct and indirect impacts of SNS type on the intention of continuing to use SNS. The research model was tested for 461 respondents that used SNS. SPSS 21.0 and PLS 2.0 techniques were used to perform reliability, feasibility, path and hierarchical regression analysis. The summary of the research results is as follows. First, the results indicate that functional value and social value have positive effects on satisfaction. Second, the results indicate that complexity had a negative effect on satisfaction. Third, the results indicate that insecurity and satisfaction have positive effects on continuous intention. Fourth, the results indicate that SNS type had a negative effect on continuous intention. Fifth, it was shown that SNS type had a moderating effect in the relationship between insecurity and continuous intention. Specifically, Insecurity had a stronger effect on continuous intention at closed-type SNS than open-type SNS. These findings suggest that closed-type SNS companies will have to address the anxiety of SNS users by providing various items and system devices.

This study explores how social media influences individual's social development and well-being. Social media is discussed as an effective tool when individuals lacking social and psychological resources are trying to expand their social networks. This study focuses on the social media use of North Korean defectors, who, in general, have closed social media networks in the South Korean society. This study tries to analyze empirically the effect of social media use on North Korean defectors' satisfaction with our society. In particular, this study focuses on how the use of social media influences satisfaction with their life in South Korea at different levels of their emotional states. This study explores that the relationship between social media and satisfaction with their life in South Korea varies based upon the degree of self-esteem and anxiety. This study expects that social media might provide greater benefits for those who are experiencing low self-esteem and high anxiety. In addition, this study conducts the same analysis for the general public and then compares its results with the survey on North Korean defectors. According to the results of North Korean defectors' survey, the impact of social media use on satisfaction with their life in South Korea was greater for those with high anxiety than for those with low anxiety. Meanwhile, the impact was greater for those with high self-esteem than for those with low self-esteem.
