Objectives: We studied correlations between neuropsychological tests and perceptual disorder in patients with head trauma and psychiatric patients in order to explore the functional localization of brain in perceptual disorders. Methods: Halstead Reitan Neuropsychological Test Battery, Korean Wechsler Intelligent Scale, and Minnesota Multiphasic Peronality Inventory(MMPI) were administered to one hundred ninteen patients consisting of sixty nine psychiatric patients and fifty patients with brain damage. We tested the correlation between results of neuropsychological tests and peceptual disorder scale PDS) made from nine items related with perceptual disorder in MMPI. T-tests between twenty one higher scorers and seventeen lower scorers of PDS were also performed in the psychiatric group. Results: In brain damage group, significant correlations were found in tests related with function of frontal lobe such as category tests, trail making tests, tactual performance test, and fingertip number writing test, and significant correlations were also noted in the tests related with function of right hemisphere such as tactual performance test, performance, picture completion, picture arrangement and block design. Tests related with subcortical function such as digit symbol test, arithmetic and digit span were signigicantly correlated, too. In psychiatric group, there were significant differences of PDS in the tests related with function of right hemisphere such as picture completion, block design, and right laterality index, and in the tests related with function of left hemisphere such as comprehension, vocabulary, and similarities. Conclusion: Perceptual disorder seems to be related with functions of frontal lobe, right hemisphere, and subcortex in both groups. In a psychiatric group, left hemisphere may be also partially related with perceptual disorder.

This study aimed to examine the influence of a weight loss reality show watching on viewers' psychology and viewing effects by explicitly focusing on the Chinese TV show, Wow! Nice Figure (2019). Chinese women who had experience viewing Chinese TV show, Wow! Nice Figure and an experience of weight loss were the subject of the current study. The data collected from a total of 201 Chinese women were examined. Six variables; age, monthly income, occupation, education, BMI(Body Mass Index), and weight loss experience were included as control variables, and the data were analyzed with the use of SPSS 20.0. The results revealed that both simple and social viewing had been found to impact viewers' psychological attitudes positively. However, it was supported that simple and social viewing does not directly affect viewing satisfaction. Furthermore, the mediated effect of psychological variables within the relationship between simple viewing and viewing satisfaction and the relationship between social viewing and viewing satisfaction was investigated. From this study's results, the enhanced understanding of the impact of simple viewing, social viewing, and viewer's psychology on viewing satisfaction could be discussed.

The purpose of this study is to present a new industrial land demand prediction method that can consider external economic factors. The analysis model used ARIMA-X, which can consider exogenous variables. Exogenous variables are composed of macroeconomic variable, Business Survey Index, and Composite Economic Index variables to reflect the economic and industrial structure. And, among the exogenous variables, only variables that precede the supply of industrial land are used for prediction. Variables with precedence in the supply of industrial land were found to be import, private and government consumption expenditure, total capital formation, economic sentiment index, producer's shipment index, machinery for domestic demand and composite leading index. As a result of estimating the ARIMA-X model using these variables, the ARIMA-X(1,1,0) model including only the import was found to be statistically significant. The industrial land demand forecast predicted the industrial land from 2021 to 2030 by reflecting the scenario of change in import. As a result, the future demand for industrial land was predicted to increase by 1.91% annually to 1,030.79 km². As a result of comparing these results with the existing exponential smoothing method, the results of this study were found to be more suitable than the existing models. It is expected to b available as a new industrial land forecasting model.

This paper presents an empirical analysis on the relationship between consumer sentiment and macro-economic indices by consumer's characteristics such as age, income and employment type. According to the empirical analysis based on the Consumer Sentiment Index(CSI) of the Bank of Korea and other macro-economic indices, the following study findings are presented. First, individual consumer sentiment depends not only on GDP growth, but also on other macro-economic conditions such as wage, employment, consumer and asset price, and debt burden. Second, the degree of importance of the macro-economic indices on determining individual consumer sentiment varies strongly according to consumers' characteristics. These findings reveal that the gap between consumer sentiment and GDP growth can largely be explained by considering the other macro-economic indices and consumer's characteristics.

This study aims to investigate an importance of Author keyword with analysis the position of author keyword. An analysis was carried out on the position of author keyword. we examined an importance of Author keyword by using degree centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, eigenvector centrality. In the next stage, we performed analysis on correlation between network centrality measures and the position of keyword. As a result, degree centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, eigenvector centrality both has a high value in 4th author keyword order. eigenvector centrality was the comparatively effective method to separate of author keyword order method than other 3 centrality. Correlation analysis result shows that the network analysis value are increasing in order. This study has significance in that it was able to examine the author keyword behavior. Future research is needed to identify and supplement future situational factors, behavior, and psychology.

The objectives of the present research are twofold. First, this research aims to compare the effect of trait characteristics(sensation seeking, social resistance and type-A behavior) with that of driving specific characteristics(driving anger and type-A driving) on problematic driving behavior. Second, the role of life stress as a mediator in the relationships between general trait characteristics and traffic safety index was examined. 1158 licensed commercial vehicle drivers were surveyed and their accident-related records were obtained in this research. Results showed that driving specific characteristics were significant indicators of traffic safety and life stress mediated the relationships between general trait characteristics and traffic safety index. These findings implicate that understanding drivers' driving specific characteristics and their levels of life stress is important to reduce problematic driving behaviors and enhance traffic safety.
