The purpose of this study is to examine the prevalence of depression in Korean American men and factors associated with the Korean American men's depression by examining how depression is affected by socio-demographic characteristics, immigration-related characteristics, and psychological and social characteristics. Socio-demographic characteristics include age, education, occupation, and monthly income. Immigration-related characteristics include years in the U. S., being U. S. citizens, and acculturation level. Psychological and social characteristics include anger, marital satisfaction, and social support. Using an availability sampling method, data were collected from 201 Korean American married men who were between the ages of 20 and 64 and resided in Los Angeles County. This study used a structured self-administered questionnaire. Due to the unreliable responses, five questionnaires were excluded from the study. Therefore 196 completed questionnaires were used for the data analyses. In order to measure the respondents' depression, the CES-D(Center for Epidemiological Studies of Depression) was used in this study. In the hierarchical multiple regression analyses, monthly income, anger, marital satisfaction, and social support were significantly associated with the respondents' depression. However, there were no significant associations between depression and age, education, occupation, being a U. S. citizen, and acculturation. Implications of the findings for mental health practitioners and social works are discussed.

This qualitative study aimed to develop a structural framework that explains the process of psychological adaptation and sequential changes being perceived by Korean people under the COVID-19 Pandemic past year. Setting a tentative analysis frame induced from antecedent literatures about psychological phenomena during the COVID-19 pandemic, the qualitative data were collected from 6 Korean adults by semi structured individual interviews. For the data, content analysis applied from the grounded theory were performed. As a result, the initial framework was extended and revised to describe the psychological phenomena under the pandemic. This paradigm structure includes the process of 'causal factors ⇒ psychological main phenomena ⇒ sequential results' being intervened by personal contextual situations and psychological characteristics, as moderators. The category of causal factors were the COVID-19 pandemic, relevant critical incidents, and social distancing policy. The main phenomena reflected either positive, negative, or complicated experiences. The sequential psychological results included transformation of cognitive system or behavior patterns. Various variables such as psychological sense of community and social responsibility, psychological capability for leisure, and positive psychological capital were found out as moderating factors. In discussion and conclusion, theoretical/practical implications of the results and direction to study in the future were suggested.

본 연구에서는 45명의 가상현실 사용자들의 가상현실 전, 중, 후의 생리신호의 변화를 관찰하였고 성격, 능력 특성 설문지, 가상현실 평가 설문지를 이용하여 심리적 영향을 알아보았다. 체온의 변화 양상을 기준으로 하여 가상현실 사용자의 심리생리학적 유형을 나누고 유형별 심리적인 반응 특성을 살펴보았다. 1) A 유형: 가상현실 유행동안 체온이 연속적으로 감소하는 유형. 2) B 유형: 가상현실 윤행초기에 체온이 급격히 증가해서 운행동안 서서히 체온이 상승하는 유형. A 유형에 속하는 사용자들의 성격적 특성은 Holland의 성격 유형이론에 근거하여 실제형의 사람들이 많은 것으로 나타났으며 B 유형은 탐구형, 사회형의 사람들이 많은 경향으로 나타났다. 멀미민감도는 A 유형이 B 유형보다 더 크게 나타났다. A, B 유형의 뇌파분석 결과 정중 전두부 (Fz), 정중 중심부 (Cz)에서 베타파, 감마파 상대파워가 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 체온의 변화 양상에 따라 나눈 A, B 유형은 성격 및 능력 특성, 멀미민감도에 있어서 유형간 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
