This paper has identified five major categories of the T2D patients' concerns based on an online forum where the patients voluntarily verbalized their naturally occurring emotional reactions and concerns related to T2D. We have emphasized the fact that the lexical and phrasal analysis brought to the forefront the prevailing negative reactions and desires for clear information, professional advice, and emotional support. This study used lexical and phrasal analysis based on text-mining tools to estimate the potential of using a large sample of patient conversation of a specific disease posted on the internet for clinical features and patients' emotions. As a result, the study showed that quantitative analysis based on text-mining is a viable method of generalizing the psychological concerns and features of T2D patients.

The present study analyzed the KOCCA's Game Immersion data to explore the relationship between psychological traits and game immersion. Psychological traits were classified into four categories; emotional stability, self-esteem, willpower, and happiness. These were put into the multiple regression analysis as the dependent variables with age, sex (dummy), economic status of the homes, variety of leisure activities, friend and family relationship, and time to play games. Four types of immersion (psychological unstability, bad relationship, interrupted daily lives, and failure to control game time and desire) were put into the multiple regression analysis as the independent variables. The multiple regression analysis indicated that the dependent variables predicted the game immersion. Among the psychological traits emotional stability was the strongest factor (negative) that influences the game immersion. Next powerful indicator (negative) among the psychological traits was self-esteem. Based on the findings, measures to alleviate the problems of game immersion and ideas for further research were suggested.

The study of classifying gamer types or analyzing the characteristics of gamers is a field of interest for data analysis researchers. From the past to the present, much research has been done on gamer categorization and gamer analysis. However, most studies use surveys or bio-signals, which is not practical because it is difficult to obtain large amounts of data. Even if the game log is used, it is difficult to analyze the psychology of the gamer because the gamer is categorized and analyzed by extracting only statistical values. However, if we can extract the cognitive psychology information of the gamer from the basic game log, we can analyze the gamer more intuitively and easily. In this paper, we extracted eight cognitive psychological features representing the behavior and psychological information of the gamer using Crazy Dragon's game log, which is a mobile Role-Playing-Game (RPG). In addition, we classified gamers based upon cognitive psychological features and analyzed them using eight cognitive psychological features. As a result, most gamers were highly correlated with one or two types.

For the past half century, researches on human psychology have witnessed the flourish of various research tools in this area. Many psychological measures were developed to get objectified data and this trend has lead to the abundance of quantified results. However, considering subjectiveness and refinements of human experience, the research focused on individual's unique perspectives and explanations is needed also. In this vein, this study proposed the usefulness of photography as a research tool for human psychology.
