The objective of this research is to conceptualize care competences for adolescents and to develop a valid measurement tool based on this conceptualization. The primary aim is to establish a solid foundation for effective communication in teaching care competences within the domain of home economics education. To achieve this, a comprehensive review of relevant literature and previous studies was conducted, and consultations with experts were undertaken to assess content and criterion-related validity. Furthermore, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed. The findings from these analyses resulted in a set of 34 items, which were categorized into five distinctive factors representing care competences in adolescents. These factors encompassed four items of care thinking, seven items of care emotion, six items of care behavior, seven items of self-care and ten items of community-care. Additionally, a reliability analysis was performed on the model, confirming the stability and consistency of the five factor structure and the 34 item scale, which assess care competences in adolescents.

Since the seminal publication of Joseph Nye's Soft Power, soft power became the central concept to public diplomacy. However, over-emphasis on soft power, which is still controversial, deterred academics from producing valuable knowledge that can be applied to practices in the field. Soft power is a cause and effect at the same time and thus it makes systematic analysis almost implausible because it is not only a tool for successful public diplomacy, but it is a result of successful diplomacy. This study aims at offering a theoretical framework linking soft power and public diplomacy by including various factors that may affect the outcomes of effective public diplomacy. This theoretical framework assessing the effectiveness of public diplomacy will make it possible to explore how and when new public diplomacy was adopted in a certain country and examine hard and soft power resources. The model also includes political system variables such as ideas and values, institutions, governance, leadership, and communication system, which are expected to influence public diplomacy effectiveness rather than soft power itself. The model yields the effectiveness of public diplomacy by assessing outcome and impact relative to input and output that are applicable to practices. The model is expected to enable both quantitative and qualitative studies generating possible propositions from the model with some preliminary outcomes of comparative case studies.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the moderating effect of burnout on the relationship between emotional labor and turnover intention of nursery teachers. For this study, 296 teachers in nursery centers were surveyed. The data were analyzed by moderated regression analysis using SPSS V22.0 program using mean centering method. The results of the study are as follows. First, expressive emotional labor affects turnover intention and internal emotional labor did not affect turnover intention. Second, the factors that have the greatest influence on turnover intention were identified as burnout. Third, the interaction effect between burnout and deep emotional labor showed a similar moderation effect on turnover intention. Based on these results, the policy and practical measures to alleviate the burnout of the nursery teachers were suggested, and the ways of managing turnover intention by utilizing the interaction effect of the teacher burnout and deep emotional labor were suggested.

The purpose of this study is to examine factors on wage of the Disabled. This study attempts to identify organizational effects on wage of the disabled. Then, this study adopts hierarchical linear model for the study purpose. Data used for this article is the survey on the vocational rehabilitation facilities in Seoul. The results are as follows. First, wage of the disabled is different from organizations as well as individuals. So, there are necessities in the consideration of organizational effects and the application of hierarchical linear model. Second, effects on wage of the disabilities controlling individual factors such as age, educational level, period using the facilities, sex, whether or not beneficiary, type of disability are different from organization. Finally, there are interaction effects of type of disability and organizational character variables. The implications of these findings are as follows. First, more political concerns should be given on the management of vocational rehabilitation facilities. Second, it is needed to concern about vocational rehabilitation of the mentally disabled.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between child maltreatment, protective factors, and resilience in elementary school students. It was especially focused on what direct effect of the risk factor(child maltreatment) and protective factors to child resilience, and how protective factors affect the resilience of maltreated child. In the concrete, this study intended to find out whether protective factors mediate between child maltreatment and resilience. This study based on data from the first wave of 'Korean Youth Panel Survey(KYPS)' and subjects consisted of 2,844 4th grade elementary school students. In addition, to test the proposed models, the Mplus-structural equation modeling-was used. The major findings are as follows: First, when child maltreatment increased, resilience decreased. Second, when protective factors increased, resilience increased. Third, protective factors act as buffers against the negative effects of child maltreatment on resilience by mediation. Results indicated that child maltreatment related negatively to resilience and protective factors related positively to resilience. In addition, a mediational model in which protective factors mediates child maltreatment and resilience was supported. In conclusion, various theoretical and practical implications for social work practice focusing on the maltreated children were discussed.

The purposes of this study were : (1) to find out subjective well-being structural model of people with disabilities, (2) to compare the female's subjective well-being structural model with male's. Based on previous researches related to subjective well-being of non-disabled, I applied a integrative model of bottom-up and top-down theories to subjective well-being of people with disabilities. Data were gathered from 497 persons with disabilities(253 males and 244 females) in Korea. This research shows that the female's level of life satisfaction is not different to male's. In female group, the objective life conditions(the level of education, family income, and to have jobs or not) and self esteems are important variables in subjective well-being structural equation model. In male group, on the other side, recognition about social support level is important variable. Various theoretical and practical implications for social work practice were discussed.

The aim of this study is to specifically understand the characteristics of the crime by empirical analysis for the determining factors that affect determining the crime through the space syntax in Busan. In this study, poisson regression and negative binomial regression were used for accurate analysis. 8 variables that were significant of the total 13 variables. The summary if this study based on the results is as follow. Statistically significant variables are female ratio, over 65 population ratio, administration are and commercial area ratio in characteristics. And the more CCTVs a region has, the lower crime rate it shows. As a results of examing whether space syntax variables can predict crime occurrence places. Space with low connectivity come to be a crime causal factor because they have few other related spaces and thereby have low possibility of sudden appearance of interrupters, which results in low surveillance levels of foot passengers. It will provide the basic data that can contribute to urban planning and implementation of crime prevention aspects.

This study was conducted to examine if the revised HPM was appropriate to explain smoking quitting behavior. A convenience sample of 400 college students enrolled in the universities located in Seoul and Kyunggi-Inchon province was selected. According to the study results, smoking-specific cognitions and affect included in the study could significantly explain commitment to a plan to quit smoking which was one of the behavioral outcomes in the revised HPM. The study result showed that among predictors, smoking-related affect, perceived benefit of quitting smoking, and perceived self-efficacy significantly explained commitment to a plan to quit smoking, but perceived barriers and interpersonal influences did not. The model for smoking quitting behavior formulated with smoking-specific cognitions and affect was statistically significant and the model explained 48 percent of variance in smoking quitting behavior. More specifically, it was shown that among smoking-specific cognitions and affect, only smoking-related affect, interpersonal influences, and perceived self-efficacy were the significant predictors to explain smoking quitting behavior. Smoking-related affect was the most important variable to explain smoking quitting behavior, followed by perceived self-efficacy. However, the influence of commitment to a plan to quit smoking on smoking quitting behavior was not statistically significant. Lastly, the model for smoking quitting behavior formulated with individual characteristics and experiences could explain 13 percent of the variance in behavior to quit smoking. Although the model is statistically significant, only the number of quitting attempts had significant and direct influence on behavior to quit smoking, while the remaining variables did not.
