The purposes of the study is to classify the psychological characteristics of gamblers using by latent profile analysis and to identify the consequences according toof the latent profiles. The subjects of the study are 473 adults gamblers who responded to a online survey about gambling patterns, basic psychological needs(BPNs), and mental health status(MHS) such as stress, depression, and anxiety. Using latent profile analysis known as the person-centered analysis, the results showed that psychological characteristics of gamblers were classified into three groups: 'Lower MHS-BPNs', 'Middle MHS-BPNs', and 'Upper MHS-BPNs'. Also, the as outcome variable, levels of problematic gambling(KCPGI) showed significant differences across the latent profiles such as Problem gambling(M=11.393) on 'Lower MHS-BPNs', Moderate-risk gambling(M=4.277) on 'Middle MHS-BPNs' and Low-risk gambling (M=1.718) on 'Upper MHS-BPNs'. Overcoming the limitations of variable-centered analysis in the existing studies, this study providesreveals new insights onin the psychological characteristics of gamblers and how different latent profiles of gamblers may be in theirdistinct levels of problematic gambling. Finally, limitations of the study and future directions for research on gambling problems are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to examine the job stress and psychosocial stress of dental hygienists and risk factors related to psychosocial stress. The subjects in this study were 349 dental hygienists in dental hospitals and clinics located in Jeonbuk Province. A self-administered survey was conducted, and the collected data were analyzed. The findings of the study were as follows: The median of their total scores in job stress was 46.0, and the average of psychosocial stress scores was 23.67. As a result of analyzing their demographic characteristics and psychosocial stress, many of the respondents who were younger, who had less working experience and who drank once or twice a week belonged to the high-risk group of psychosocial stress (p<0.05). Concerning the relationship between job stress and psychosocial stress, many of the respondents who suffered from heavier job stress belonged to the high-risk group of psychosocial stress (p<0.05). The group whose occupational climate was less stressful was 3.6-fold more likely to belong to the high-risk group of psychosocial stress than the other whose workpalce culture was more stressful before the correction of the data, and the former was 3.4-fold more likely to do that than the latter after that. The group whose total score in workplace stress was higher was 2.3-fold more likely to belong to the high-risk group of psychosocial stress than the other whose workplace stress was lower before the correction of the data, and the former was 2.7-fold more likely to do that than the latter after that. Given the findings of the study, the development of job stress management programs is required, and everybody should make sustained self-management efforts to relieve their own stress and try to get rid of it in their own way.

The object of this study is to evaluate the prevailing physical and psychosocial conditions regarding occupational low back injury. This study consists of two parts. In the first part of the study, analytic biomechanical model and NIOSH guidelines are applied to evaluate risk levels of low back injury for automobile assembly jobs. Total of 246 workers are analysed. There are 20 jobs having greater back compressive forces than 300kg at L5/S1. Also, there are 44 jobs over Action Limit with respect to 1981 NIOSH guidelines. The relationship between psychosocial factors and low back injury was examined in the second part of the study. A battery of questionnaires concerning the psychosocial stress based on PWI (Psychosocial Well-being Index) and musculoskeletal pain symptoms at low back was completed by 246 workers at the same plant. Results showed that 207 out 246 workers experienced the symptoms and 27 workers were diagnosed as patients. Two groups(low stressed, high stressed) based on PWI score had no significant relationships with both symptoms and results of diagnosis. The relationships between physical work load and psychosocial stress were also analysed. Specifically, some postural factors(vertical deviation angle of forearm, horizontal deviation angle of upperarm, vertical deviation angle of thigh, etc) were highly correlated with psychosocial stress. The results illustrated that PWI scores were associated with some physical workloads. However, psychosocial stress levels couldn't be well related with the pain symptom as well as the actual incidence of low back injury since pain or discomfort regarding low back injury were more complex than that of other musculoskeletal disorders.

최근 급격한 사회발전으로 인한 인간소외, 과도한 업무 스트레스, 가족관계 등의 사회 문제가 야기되고 있으며, 이는 전문적인 심리상담 도움을 받아야 할 만큼 심각한 정신건강의 위기상태라 할 수 있다. 이에 따라 심리검사에 대한 중요성이 부각되고 있음에도 불구하고, 검사자의 전문적 훈련정도에 따른 해석 차이로 인하여 검사의 신뢰성 저하와 같은 다양한 문제점이 발생되고 있다. 또한 심리검사는 특성상 검사자와 피험자간의 커뮤니케이션을 통해 이루어지는 주관적인 검사이므로 의사소통에 문제가 있는 중증 장애우 및 외국인, 영유아 피험자들의 검사가 힘든 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 사용자 뇌파 패턴분석을 통해 기존의 주관적인 심리검사 기법을 객관화함으로써 뇌파측정만으로도 심리검사가 가능한 BCI기반 심리검사 시스템을 구현한다.

기존 연구에서는 꾸준히 조직 구성원의 창의성을 향상하는데 있어 리더십이 매우 중요한 역할을 한다는 점을 강조해왔다. 수많은 연구가 리더십과 창의성의 관계를 언급하고 있지만 벤처창업의 핵심이라고 할 수 있는 기업가적 리더십에 관해서는 여전히 연구가 부족한 편이다. 이를 감안, 본 연구는 조직 내 혁신 분위기의 조절효과 및 구성원의 심리적 임파워먼트의 매개효과를 토대로 기업가적 리더십과 구성원의 창의성 간의 인과관계를 분석하였다. 국내 중소·벤처기업에 근무하는 161명의 구성원을 대상으로 설문을 진행, 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 구성원의 심리적 임파워먼트는 리더의 기업가적 리더십과 구성원의 창의성 간의 관계를 긍정적으로 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 구성원의 심리적 임파워먼트에 미치는 리더의 기업가적 리더십의 효과는 조직의 혁신 분위기가 높을 때 더욱 강하게 발휘되는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 조직 내 혁신 분위기는 리더의 기업가적 리더십과 구성원의 심리적 임파워먼트의 관계를 긍정적으로 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 창의적인 벤처기업을 육성하기 위해 리더의 기업가적 리더십과 구성원의 창의성 간의 관계에 대한 포괄적인 시사점을 제공해주었다.
