The objectives of the present research are twofold. First, this research aims to compare the effect of trait characteristics(sensation seeking, social resistance and type-A behavior) with that of driving specific characteristics(driving anger and type-A driving) on problematic driving behavior. Second, the role of life stress as a mediator in the relationships between general trait characteristics and traffic safety index was examined. 1158 licensed commercial vehicle drivers were surveyed and their accident-related records were obtained in this research. Results showed that driving specific characteristics were significant indicators of traffic safety and life stress mediated the relationships between general trait characteristics and traffic safety index. These findings implicate that understanding drivers' driving specific characteristics and their levels of life stress is important to reduce problematic driving behaviors and enhance traffic safety.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the research trends of published articles in Korean journals dealing with Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) from 1998 through 2018. A total of 185 papers were analyzed about an affiliation of corresponding author, type and dimension of TCI, and research contents considering the major publication regarding the Korean version of the TCI and major event in Korea. The results were as followed. First, most researchers belonged to university (53%) and hospital (44%). Second, both temperament and character dimensions (65%) were often used rather than temperament dimension only (34%). Third, regarding the subjects, adults (52%), children and adolescents (38%), and preschoolers (10%) appeared the most frequently used in the order. Fourth, we found that psychopathology (36%), personality (22%), health (16%), addiction (10%), assessment (8%) were the most popular areas of concern. Based on these results with the focus of analysis on the relationships between research subjects and research contents, implications and directions for future research and clinical settings regarding the treatment effect using the TCI character dimensions and diverse age groups were discussed.

Judgment and decision-making studies have shown that people are easily influenced and biased by information irrelevant to the object of judgment. There is a great deal of research that indicates that bias exists in the legal judgment scene. One of them is a bias induced by defendants' character evidence. This study examined whether cognitive activities such as discussion, counterfactual thinking, and peer assessment could reduce the bias induced by the character evidece. In Experiment 1, 121 college students were asked to give the percentage they believed the defendant to be guilty. There was no cognitive activity for the control group. There were three different cognitive activities for the experimental group: discussion, counterfactual thinking and discussion, and counterfactual thinking and peer assessment. Results showed reduction in bias for all the experimental groups, and there was no difference between them. In Experiment 2, there were 125 participants from general population for the same procedure as in Experiment 1. Results showed reduction in bias only for the counterfactual thinking and discussion group. In general discussion, we speculated the implication of the results and the reason for the difference between the two experiments.

This paper analyzes patterns of various characters in an animation story. Animation characters are the important element in a story. They reflect social facts and work an element showing internal aspects of human-beings. At first we need enough scientific basis to understand the development of these characters. Therefore, this paper analyzes the characters of 19 Disney animation on the basis of character disorder in abnormal psychoanalysis and establishes database of animation characters. This database can be a help to the develoment of new characters. Also, I think that characters inclination can be applied to fostering Emotion and education of animation audiences.

본 연구의 목적은 안전행동과 사고 발생을 예측하고 관리하기 위해 안전성향검사 도구를 개발하고 타당도를 검증하는 것이었다. 안전 심리 분야에서 근로자의 안전 행동에 영향을 미치는 주요 변인으로 안전 리더십과 안전 문화에 대한 연구들이 많이 진행되어 왔다. Lewin에 따르면 Behavior = Person * Environment으로 환경은 물리적 환경(기계, 장비 등)과 심리-사회적(psyco-social) 환경(안전 리더십/문화)으로 구분할 수 있다. 하지만 국내의 경우 근로자 개인 특성이 안전 수행에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 부족하였다. 개인 특성 중 일관되게 행동에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 변인이 성격이고, Lee 등(2018)은 개인 성격이 안전/불안전 행동에 영향을 미칠 확률은 35% 이상이며, 불안전 행동으로 한정해 보면 50% 이상이라고 하였다. 그리고 불안전한 행동으로 인한 사고는 비교적 소수의 직원에 의해 발생한다고 하였다(Clarke & Robertson 2008). 따라서 안전/불안전 행동을 예측할 수 있는 성격 특성을 검증하여, 직원 선발이나 재직자 코칭에 활용한다면 산업 재해 예방에 도움이 될 수 있다

To investigate how personality test items are understood by participants, their semantic representations were explored by Latent Semantic Analysis, In this thesis, Semantic Similarity Matrix was proposed, which contains cosine similarity of semantic representations between test items and personality traits. The matrix was compared to traditional factor loading matrix. In preliminary study, semantic space was constructed from the passages describing the five traits, collected from 154 undergraduate participants. In study 1, positive correlation was observed between the factor loading matrix of Korean shorten BFI and its semantic similarity matrix. In study 2, short personality test was constructed from semantic similarity matrix, and observed that its factor loading matrix was positively correlated with the semantic similarity matrix as well. In conclusion, the results implies that the factor structure of personality test can be inferred from semantic similarity between the items and factors.

The purpose of this research is to analyze generation gap of positive effects on character strength for full life of adults in Korea and to verify mediating effect of volunteering from character strength in this roots. To test this effects, there was an investigated differences of perception on character strength, volunteering and full life from 1,405 Koreans. Then had set up the influence model of character strength on full life between generation, and verified the model through structural equation. Therethrough first, there was statistical significant between generations except the variables of trust, full life and meaning of life. Second, full life was positively influenced by character strength in early adulthood. Third, volunteering had fully mediated from character strength to full life in post middle aged adults, but had partially mediated in early adulthood. This will help acquaint us with importance of accompany with volunteering at character strength than character strength directly connects to full life. Based on these results, we are treated on importance of mediating volunteering effects and influences of character strengths on full life in Korean society.

Previous studies on emotion have repeatedly suggested that alexithymia is an important predictor of depression. Therefore, this study examined whether the relationship between these two variables can be moderated by personality factors, focusing on the Big five personality traits. An online survey of 312 college students, including alexithymia, depression, and Big five personality traits (Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability, and Openness to Experience) was conducted. As the results, as expected, alexithymia predicted depression, which was in line with the existing research flow. In addition, moderation analysis revealed that agreeableness, emotional stability, and openness to experience moderated the relationship between alexithymia and depression, while extraversion and conscientiousness did not. This study has an important implication in that it discriminated which specific personality traits function as moderators in the process of increasing depression due to alexithymia.

Most previous research on impression formation has been examined the effects of various informations exclusively within a category, either social category or individual characteristic. The present research examined and compared the priming effects of social category information (we and other) versus personality information (warm and cold) on impression formation. In Study 1, participants primed subliminally with combinations of social category and personality information (we/warm, we/cold, other/warm, and other/cold) were asked to rate faceial pictures on the good-bad and likable-dislikable dimensions. The analysis revealed only the significant main effects of social category information but not any effects of personality information on both the impression dimensions. In Study 2 in which participants were primed with either social category or personality information exclusively, priming of social category information influenced the judgments of likable-dislikable dimension and that of personality information influenced the judgments of good-bad dimension. These results suggest that personality information influences impression in general even though its impacts may be overwritten by social categorical information. The findings were discussed with its implication of everyday's impression formation and the cultural psychological perspectives.
