To examine the causal association between story usage and the ability of comprehending social relations, this study analyzed whether the short-term use of story heightened the degree of other-focused attention. To this end, this study randomly assigned 74 participants into three groups(novel, film, and exposition conditions), and participants were exposed to the stimuli for about 30 minutes, and then this study compared the degree of other-focused attention of the three groups. The results suggested that the degree of other-focused attention in the story groups (novel and film) were significantly higher than those in the exposition group. Though causal association between story usage and the ability of comprehending social relations were not clear, via demonstrating the formation of other-focused attention due to short-term use of story, this study provided empirical evidence for the simulation account of story.

Objective : This study sought to systematically examine the intervention effect of social stories when applied in relation to children with sleep disorders. Methods : Studies available in the SCOPUS, ScienceDirect, PsycArticles, and PubMed databases that were published from 2001 to 2022 were searched. The keywords used for the search were as follows: ("social story" OR "social stories") AND ("sleep" OR "sleep disorders" OR "sleep wake disorder bedtimes" OR "sleep initiation and maintenance disorders" OR "sleep wake disorder" OR "sleep arousal disorders"). Based on the selection criteria, six experimental studies were selected and analyzed. Results : The selected studies were two randomized controlled trials, three individual trials, and one case study. The subjects were mostly children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who were school-aged or adolescent. The intervention types were often complex interventions, including social stories and other interventions, while the durations of the interventions varied from one day to more than 40 days. The interventions had a positive effect on the subjects' sleep quality, with night wakings, sleep onset delay, and sleep anxiety all being improved. As standardized assessment tools to evaluate the effectiveness of social stories, the Child Sleep Habits Questionnaire and the Child Behavior Checklist were used in two papers each, and were the most commonly used. As non-standardized assessment tools, each of the four papers used turbulence and sleep diaries as assessment tools. Conclusion : The effect of social story mediation can be divided into sleep quality and sleep-related behavior. In terms of sleep quality, studies showing improvements in night wakings, sleep onset delay, and sleep anxiety accounted for a large proportion of the sample. The detailed effect area of sleep quality showed a significant improvement after the interventions in most studies, and in all six studies analyzed in the present study, the continuation of the effect after the intervention was confirmed via follow-up tests. Thus, the findings of this study are expected to be helpful when applying social stories in children with sleep disorders in clinical practice due to presenting the intervention effects, outcome evaluation tools, and intervention periods in children with sleep disorders in prior investigations involving social stories.

This study examined poor custodial grandparents' life story and care-giving experiences of their grandchildren. 8 grandparents were selected and in-depth interview and participant observation method were used. They showed a miserable life from the birth and discriminative experience of the deprivation of educational opportunities as childhood nadir experiences. They showed the regret for their inability as youth/midlife low point and financial difficulty as old life nadir experiences. In terms of care-giving experiences of their grandchildren, they showed non-voluntary care-giving, anxiety for the generational continuation of hardship, and lack of familial assistance. Poor custodial grandparents also used family-centered value, community-based social assistance, and self-assurance through their sacrifice as their adjustment strategy. Several research themes such as the importance of basic trust in childhood, the experience of financial difficulties, the importance of community-based social assistance, and self-assurance through their sacrifice were suggested for further research.

이 학습은 단기간과 장기간으로 나누어 연구한 화제적인 회상을 중심으로 이야기 구술과 가장놀이의 그 효과들을 탐구하고 논증(Demonstration)하였다. 특별히 이 학습은 어린이들이 가장놀이의 연기와 구술을 하는 동안에 인지변화들을 동일시하고 시험하였다. 교육자들과 연구자들은 제안하기를 놀이와 이야기를 말하는 것은 한 사건의 인지적인 모형으로 유치원 어린이들이 기초적인 기교(Skill)를 배우는 것으로서 상징의 흐름(Stream of Symbolization)안에서 동시에 나타난다고 시사하고 있다. 가장놀이(Pretend Play)는 인지 발달과 사회성 발달 안에서 중요한 영역으로 오랫동안 고려되어져 오기도 했었다. 그런 의미에서 이 학습은 이야기 구술과 가장놀이, 단기간과 장기간의 기억력, encoding and inference 그리고 그것들의 상호관계들에 대한 발달적인 차이들에 초점을 두었다. 그 data에 의하면 화제적인 회상을 효율화하고 있는 가운데서 이야기 말하기와 가장놀이 사이에 유효한 차이가 있었음을 보여주었다. 그 data는 또한 encode에 대한 질문이 inferences의 능력을 초과했다는 것을 지적하기도 했다. 다시 말해서 그 어린이들은 inferences를 만드는 능력이 향상하지 않았음에도 이야기 구술과 가장놀이에 참여할 수 있었다. 이것은 즉 Inferences는 좀더 복잡한 인지 기교들을 요구하고 있었을 뿐, 이야기 구술과 가장놀이의 향상에는 관계하지 않았다는 것을 말해주고 있다. 또한 단기간과 장기간의 조건사이에는 유효한 차이가 있지 않았다.

This study was to examine association between working memory and social cognitive ability, and the influence of story-use on social cognitive ability. To this end, this study measured working memory(via n-back), and randomly assigned 82 participants into three groups(5th level intentionality, 3rd-level intentionality, and exposition conditions), and then compared the accuracy of perspective taking and emotion recognition(RMET: Reading Minds in the Eyes Test) as social cognitive ability. The results suggested that perspective taking accuracy was significantly associated with working memory capacity, whereas emotion recognition accuracy was not. Contrary to the hypothesis, perspective taking in the 5th-level intentionality story group were significantly lower than those in the 3rd-level intentionality story group. Emotions recognition accuracy was not significantly different among the three groups. Overall, this study produced inconsistent results, which has been discussed in terms of theory and methods.

The origin of texts we refer to as literary or artistic may be imagination, but many are based on experiences. In fact, experiences can be the source of artistic imagination since imagination often builds upon experiences. Therefore, the act of verbalizing human experiences using them as raw material can become a great form of art. Transforming past experiences into stories and infusing them with vitality inevitably requires a creative process of reconstruction, which is essentially a literary process. As such, 'Personal Narrative' holds significance as a literary process that weaves facts into stories and shapes them into forms. Individual experiences are stored as personal memories, and these 'personal memories' continuously generate stories. Collections of individual stories are stored as multiple memories, which gradually form 'collective memories' with distinct social and cultural inclinations through the passage of time and invisible yet potent societal and cultural censorship. The problem lies in the fact that individuals may tend to align their own memories with the inclinations of collective memory rather than simply recalling what they personally experienced. In the context of actual history, personal memories and collective memories communicate with each other, producing non-fictional content close to reality and sometimes manifesting as fiction content enriched with imagination. 'Personal Narrative' holds a significant genre as one genre of non-fiction content within our culture.

For a long time, popular songs have been our source of happiness. They go along with the flow of the generation, allowing them to acquire a significant meaning. Popular songs thus reflect the contemporary society. However, in the study of popular song archives, there has been an interest only in the information of the songs sung by a singer, the type of songs, and the type of singers. Thus, existing popular song archives were not able to reflect the characteristics of the society of the generation when the songs were popular. Therefore, this paper searched for ways by which to archive not only popular songs but also the characteristics of the society during the time when these songs were famous, and suggested a story collection through the methods. These stories reflect the lives of the people and the characteristics of the society during the periods when the songs were popular. Furthermore, these stories go beyond popular songs, making it possible for us to look dimensionally on the society we are affiliated in.

The goal of this study was to identify important priorities of 'family narrative' program to enhance resilience, and to seek significant variables of students' personal characteristics and family narrative-related characteristics that are positively related to the domains of resilience. This study aimed to suggest a plan of resilience program for university students. Resilience consists of 7 domains, and they were analyzed using logistic analysis. Specifically, the effects of personal characteristics and family narrative-related characteristics of the students were examined in relation to each domain of resilience. The result indicated that the key priorities for family narrative programs, which were suggested by Social Welfare university students, were (1) understanding and finding meanings within major family stories; (2) identifying family strategies for overcoming crises and exploring their underlying meanings; and (3) identifying and finding meanings within family achievements. Based on the result, this study suggested resilience program plans that were intended to improve the level of resilience of university students.
