Hence, it is imperative and necessary to invest in studies geared toward understanding the psychology of hackers. The current study referred to Beebe & Clark (2006) and sought out the psychological variables in hackers involved in deviant hacking activities, measured the purpose of hacking and actual hacking experiences, and constructed a predictive model that can categorize hacker types based on their intentions.

This study aims at researching whether business founders' psychological characteristics, behavioral characteristics, and career characteristics have influence upon corporate performance and whether business founders' career characteristics and start-up education experience have influence upon corporate performance targeting business founders of start-up business-incubated companies. As a result of this study, business founders' psychological characteristics(achievement desire, risk-endurance propensity) were indicated to have significant influence upon corporate performance. On the other hand, business founders' behavioral characteristics were indicated to have no influence upon corporate performance. Also, it is seen to have clarified that business founders' career characteristics, past practical-affairs experience during start-up education business, and job-life experience are important factors of having significant influence upon corporate performance. These findings are expected to give many implications even to preliminary business founders as well as establishment in supportive direction and effective development of start-up business-incubated companies. Accordingly, the implication is seen to have been suggested that the services, which the business incubator supports the living-in companies, need to be planned and offered by considering business founders' characteristics of start-up business.

Eighty youth soccer players were assigned to either a song-based music therapy group or a control group. For the analysis of the effects of song-based group music therapy, the Exercise Stress scale and the Athlete Positive Psychological Capital scale were administered before and after the intervention. The collected data were analyzed using an independent sample t test and paired t test. The results were as follows. First, the experimental group showed a significantly lower posttest score on the exercise stress measure than the control group (p < .01). The control group showed a significant increase from pretest to posttest on the exercise stress measure (p < .05). Second, the experimental group scored significantly higher at posttest than the control group on the positive psychological capital measure (p < .01). The control group demonstrated a statistically significant decrease from pretest to posttest on the positive psychological capital scale (p < .05).

The subjects themselves consisted of 370 fifth-and sixth-grade children and their fathers from elementary schools in Seoul and Daegu. Questionnaires containing items related to experienced parenting and the current psychological well-being reported by fathers and fathers' parenting attitudes reported by their children were used. Regression analyses revealed that a fathers' 'independent encouraging' attitude to their children was predicted by a fathers' psychological well-being whereas a fathers' 'acceptance' attitudes was predicted by both a fathers' experienced 'acceptance' parenting and their psychological well-being. Further, a fathers' psychological well-being played a moderate role in the relationship between fathers' experienced 'independent encouraging' parenting from the family of origin and their 'independent encouraging' attitude to their children.

This study is to reveal the acceptance factors of the Market Sentiment Index (MSI) created by reflecting the investor sentiment extracted by processing unstructured big data. The research model was established by exploring exogenous variables based on the rational behavior theory and applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The acceptance of MSI provided to investors in the stock market was found to be influenced by the exogenous variables presented in this study. The results of causal analysis are as follows. First, self-efficacy, investment opportunities, Innovativeness, and perceived cost significantly affect perceived ease of use. Second, Diversity of services and perceived benefits have a statistically significant impact on perceived usefulness. Third, Perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness have a statistically significant effect on attitude to use. Fourth, Attitude to use statistically significantly influences the intention to use, and the investment opportunities as an independent variable affects the intention to use. Fifth, the intention to use statistically significantly affects the final dependent variable, the intention to use continuously. The mediating effect between the independent and dependent variables of the research model is as follows. First, The indirect effect on the causal route from diversity of services to continuous use intention was 0.1491, which was statistically significant at the significance level of 1%. Second, The indirect effect on the causal route from perceived benefit to continuous use intention was 0.1281, which was statistically significant at the significance level of 1%. The results of the multi-group analysis are as follows. First, for groups with and without stock investment experience, multi-group analysis was not possible because the measurement uniformity between the two groups was not secured. Second, the analysis result of the difference in the effect of independent variables of male and female groups on the intention to use continuously, where measurement uniformity was secured between the two groups, In the causal route from usage attitude to usage intention, women are higher than men. And in the causal route from use intention to continuous use intention, males were very high and showed statistically significant difference at significance level 5%.
