This is a longitudinal study which aims to examine the effects of the use frequency of SNS on adolescents' stress and the relationship between the former and the latter, based on big five personality factors. To this end, the valid data of 994 adolescents were collected by administering questionnaires to the cohort groups of those using Facebook twice for one year(T1-T2). An analysis of the data showed that the use frequency of Facebook(T1) had no direct effects on stress(T2), and that there was an interaction between users' personality and the use frequency. In particular, users' stress(T2) was varied depending on neuroticism among personality factors, as the use frequency of Facebook(T1) increased. The higher the use frequency of Facebook, the more the stress in the group with weak neuroticism, while the higher the use frequency of Facebook, the less the stress in other group with strong neuroticism, probably because each group has different motivation for meeting their needs for social support: the former's stress may increase, since they has relatively lower needs for social support and face more conflicts as they more frequently use Facebook, while the latter's stress may decrease, because they have relatively stronger needs for social support and are likely to acquire psychological support, as they more frequently use it.

This study investigated the mate selection preferences of single female teachers by investigating the desired traits in socioeconomic, physical attractions, psychological traits and family roles of their prospected marital partner, in order to explore the current trends in homogamous marriage. A questionnaire was distributed to 295 unmarried female teachers selected by convenience sampling from the various cities. The teachers pursued homogeneity in age, educational attainment, religion, and occupation while they preferred partners with higher income level. In terms of physical assets, the attraction that the teachers felt towards the partner was the most important physical appearances. The respondents preferred partners who are masculine and an androgynous partner. The teachers held high expectations towards their future spouses in that they desired to share the roles of emotional, financial support, child care and kin keeping. A partner who shared modern sex role attitudes was preferred over someone who held traditional one. The pursuit for overall homogeneity reflects that the teachers seek for equality in their relationships with prospected marital partners by exchanging similar characteristic.

Objectives : Homocysteine has been associated with cognitive impairment and various psychiatric symptoms. This study was designed to examine the relationship exists between plasma homocysteine concentration and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia(BPSD). Methods : 41 subjects with dementia of Alzheimer's type were included in this study. We carried out history taking, physical examination, and cognitive assessment for the diagnosis of dementia of Alzheimer's type based on DSM-IV. We scored the Mini Mental State Examination(MMSE), Global Deterioration Scale(GDS), Clinical Dementia Rating(CDR), and the Korean Neuropsychiatric Inventory(K-NPI). We also measured levels of homocysteine, folate, and vitamin $B_{12}$ in the plasma. Results : We found statistically significant positive correlations between homocysteine concentration with NPI total score, and with scores of several sub-domains such as delusion, agitation/aggression, depression/dysphoria, and elation/euphoria. No significant correlation existed between homocysteine levels and scores of MMSE, GDS, and CDR. Conclusions : This study shows that plasma homocysteine levels are associated with BPSD. Further research is necessary to identify pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying these relationships.

With increasing interest in health promotion and quality of life, growing attention has been focused on the beneficial effects of urban green area. However, very few evidence-based approaches have been conducted on the health-related benefits of urban greenery. Therefore, this study examined the health-related benefits of green areas using physiological and psychological indices to obtain evidence-based data on these benefits. Twenty male university students were selected as subjects. Data were collected when participants viewed landscapes in a green area or an urban area for fifteen minutes. This research was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of School of Medicine, Chungnam National University. Physiological data in the green area revealed significantly decreased heart rates, significantly increased high-frequency value of heart rate variability, an index of parasympathetic activity, and reduced salivary cortisol concentration, a stress hormone, compared to the urban area. Psychological tests showed the green area significantly reduced the negative mood state and psychological symptoms, and significantly increased the positive mood state. Our data provided evidence for the health-related benefits of green areas, and the findings of this study support that green areas can play a critical role in health promotion for urban residents, by positively affecting autonomic nervous and endocrinal activities.

심리상담의 영역이 확대되어 감에 따라 오프라인 상담뿐만 아니라 온라인 형태의 상담이 급속히 발전하고 있다. 인터넷의 활용도가 증가함에 따라 컴퓨터를 의사소통의 매개로 활용한 사이버상담 형태를 통한 상담도 체계적으로 개발되어야 할 필요성이 있다. 그러나 현재 개설되어 운영되고 있는 사이버상담은 내담자에게 적합한 맞춤상담이 불가능하며 또한 자가치유가 가능한 자가치유시스템이 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 지능형 에이전트를 이용하여 내담자에게 적합한 맞춤상담이 가능한 방법을 제안함과 동시에 과거 상담사레 데이터베이스를 바탕으로 이전의 상담사레들을 신경망의 BP학습알고리즘을 이용하여 학습을 시킨 후 자가치유가 가능한 자가치유시스템을 설계하는 방법을 제안한다.

Clinical neuropsychology which belongs to the necuroscience field is concerned with relationship between human behaviors and the brain structure. Clinical neuropsychology has grown to be a specialized separate field within psychology over the last twenty years. Clinical neuropsychology offers an objective methodology to consider the mind-body interaction and evaluate the behavioral consequences and functional deficits associated with brain lesions. Clinical neuropsychological assessment is composed of cognitive, perceptual, motor and emotional function through various neuropsychological examinations such as Halsted-Reitan and Luria-Nebraska batteries, and computerized neuropsychological test such as PCIS Vienna Test System and Stim. The goals of neuropsychological evaluation are to identify of neuropsychological dysfuncitions, to develop execute and monitor treatment plans, and to make rehabilitation programs. Recently, the neuropsychiatric patients are increasing in number and 15-20% of acute psychiatric patients suffer from organic mental problems. Moreover, clinical neuropsychology has an increasingly important role in both neurobehavioral foundation and clinical application. So, psychiatrists must play a major role in the development of clinical neuropsychology in psychiatry.

뇌졸중으로 인한 편마비 장애인은 뇌손상으로 인해 운동 및 감각 신경 통로의 장애가 있어, 기립 및 보행 시 비정상적인 행태를 보이는 경우가 많다. 과도한 외회전은 보행 시 안전성을 보장 받기 어려워 낙상 등 신체적 위험에 처할 수 있고, 또한 비장애인의 보행과의 시각적 차이로 인하여 환자들의 심리적 위축감을 가중시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 외회전 보행 시 편마비 장애인에게 피드백을 주어 자가 교정이 가능하도록 시스템을 개발하였으며, 이는 외회전 보행을 하는 편마비 장애인의 보행 교정에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

A gear whine sound due to the axle system is one of the most important sound qualities in a sport utility vehicle (SUV). In the previous research about the gear whine sound, it was known that it is difficult to evaluate the gear whine sound objectively by using the only A-weighted sound pressure level because of the masking effect. In this paper, for the objective evaluation of the axle-gear whine sound, the characteristics of the axle-gear whine sound is at the first investigated based on the synthetic sound technology and the new objective evaluation method for the axle-gear whine sound is developed by using the sound metrics, which is the psychoacoustics parameters, and the artificial neural network (ANN) used for the modeling of the correlation between objective evaluation and subjective evaluation.

본 논문에서는 인간과 로봇의 상호작용을 위해 감정에 기반한 감정 처리 모델을 설계하였다. 감정 재현 기술은 사용자에게 친근감을 주기 위해 로봇 시스템이 제스처, 표정을 통하여 사람이나 동물의 감성과 동작을 표현하는 분야이다. 로봇이 감정을 표현하는 문제에는 많은 심리학적, 해부학적, 공학적 문제가 관련된다. 여러가지 애매모호한 상황임에 불구하고 심리학자인 Ekman과 Friesen에 의해 사람의 여섯 가지 기본 표정이 놀람, 공포, 혐오, 행복감, 두려움, 슬픔은 문화에 영향을 받지 않고 공통적으로 인식되는 보편성을 가지고 있는 것으로 연구됐다. 사람의 행동에 대한 로봇의 반응이 학습되어 감정모델이 결정되고, 그 결과가 행동결정에 영향을 주어 로봇의 행동에 반영되도록 하였다. 본 논문에서는 인간과 로봇과의 상호작용을 통해 정보를 축적하고 인간의 반응에 적응해나 갈 수 있는 감정 처리 모델을 제안한다.
