Aesthetics undertakes important roll in design as a competitive factor. The importance of aesthetics can be found in experimental aesthetics, Gestalt psychology and design related literatures. These literatures suggest that, besides the importance of aesthetics, many other aesthetic factors would affect consumer reaction(recognition, emotional reaction, meaning), but the study is still in insufficient condition. Hense, this study tries to give a guideline -'how to design symbols'based on the apprehension of what kind of design is well recognized(correct recognition), gives positive emotional reaction(affect) to customers, and moreover, what sort of aesthetic factors affect these reactions by analyzing existing symbol designs.

아동의 언어습득 과정에서의 모방은 흔히 볼 수 있는 현상이지만 한편 인간의 독특하고 신기한 일면이기도 하다. 이 모방에 관하여 그동안 많은 연구들이 되어왔으나 그 중요성이나 역할에 대한 연구들의 결론이 모두 일치하는 것은 아니다. 본 논문에서는 이 모방현상에 대한 그 동안의 연구들을 이론별로 분류해 보고 각 이론들이 모방의 역할을 밝히기 위하여 사용해 온 연구방법, 절차들을 분석해 보았다. 행동주의와 사회학습이론에서는 언어습득에서의 모방의 역할을 특히 강조하고 있으며 이 모방의 효과를 입증하기 위하여 다른 어떤 이론보다도 훨씬 조직적인 실험연구를 해 왔다. 이와는 대조적으로, 언어 심리학적 접근에서는 언어습득에서의 생득성과 창의성을 강조하므로 모방의 역할은 중시하지 않으며, 모방의 정의를 엄격하게 규정하고 자연적인 관찰 중심의 연구를 주로 하여 언어습득에서의 모방의 역할이 미비하다는 결론을 내리고 있다. Piaget 중심의 인지발달적 접근에서는 모방을 인간의 전체 발달의 한 측면으로 보아 모방은 인지발달과 함께 점진적으로 발달되는 것으로 설명하고 있다. 특히 언어발달에서의 지연모방의 중요성을 강조하고 있으며, 대부분의 연구는 자연적인 관찰연구를 통하여 모방의 발달과정을 밝히고 있다. 언어발달에서의 모방의 역할에 대한 지금까지의 일치하지 않는 연구 결과들은 각각의 이론들이 나름대로 달리 모방을 정의하고, 언어의 다른 측면들을 다루어 왔기 때문으로 밝혀 졌다. 앞으로 언어발달이 아동의 발달 전체의 맥락 속에서 연구되어지고, 언어습득과정에서 보이는 아동들의 개인차까지도 고려되어지는 포괄적인 연구가 이루어지면 모방의 역할도 좀더 명백하고 일관성 있게 밝혀지리라 본다.

The study examines the effects that non-audit service and firm's ownership structure might have on the value relevance directly or indirectly. This investigation is based on prior research which suggests that the audit firms' non-audit services is likely to adversely affect investors' perceptions of the credibility of financial reporting and that corporate governance are likely to mitigate the adverse this kind of non-audit services effects. The sample consists of non-banking firms listed on the Korea Exchange that reported annual financial statements over the period from 2004 to 2008. In the setting, stock returns as proxy for capital market response, auditor quality(measured as the discretionary accruals) is endogenously determined. This study employs a structural equation model to take into account the endogenous variables under study. The analysis influences through the path analysis that ownership structure suppress the market response through audit quality and also the non-audit service have influence on the market response through audit quality. The results of this study contribute to the literature in the following ways. First, this provides direct evidence that there is a negative association between audit firms' client importance and the value relevance. Second, the findings that the negative association is attenuated for audit quality support the findings of prior studies which present that corporate governance provide higher credibility of financial reports.

The purpose of this study is to shed light on the relationship between perceived value(PV), attitude toward the exhibition(ATYCSE), and behavioral intention toward the exhibition(BITYCSE) through literature review and quantitative research, focusing on <Yumi's Cells Special Exhibition (2020)> as an Instagrammable exhibition. The exhibition has strong entertainment experience quality, and taking pictures has a positive correlation with the satisfaction as well as the immersion, while sharing the viewing experience on Instagram does not influence on the ATYCSE in terms of the PV. Satisfaction also has meaningful correlations with the immersion and the detail factors of BITYCSE. In particular, it can be confirmed that the storytelling factor occupied a superiority over the exhibit factors or the exhibition environment of the Instagram-friendly exhibition, and through this, the importance of storytelling was confirmed. This research unveils implications for the influence of the interactivity and participatory features of the Instagrammable exhibition on the ATYCSE as a potential factor of PV, and the importance of storytelling in Instagrammable exhibitions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the convergence factors affecting behavior of oral health improvement perceived by the subjective oral health awareness perception factors in some college students. The questionnaire was conducted from April 10, 2017 to April 30, 2013 for 300 students at S university and the and the 290 final data were used. Oral health knowledge, oral health importance measured by 5-point, oral health status and oral health interest are 11.46, 1.71, 2.78, 2.52 respectively. Significant differences from experience of oral health education for oral health knowledge, oral health importance, oral health interest have been observed. The convergence factors influencing acts of oral health promotion were oral health status(${\beta}=-0.188$) and oral health interest(${\beta}=-0.265$) the higer the oral health status and oral health interest, the better acts of oral health promotion. Therefore, effective oral health education programs should be developed to increase oral health knowledge and interest in oral health and to change behavior and attitude.

The purpose of this study, we examined the influencing factors of acceptance of new information systems and attitude formation in 279 local government officials who were exposed to the use of new information technology, and examined the moderating role of technostress and absorptive capacity. As a result, technostress negatively affected attitudes by moderating perceived ease of use, and absorptive capacity generated a positive effect that further increased perceived usefulness. Technostress and absorptive capacity have both direct and moderating effects on attitudes. It suggests that management of technostress and absorptive capacity, which affects the formation of attitudes toward information technology acceptance, becomes more important for local government officials who need to accept new information technology through Top-Down decision making. In particular, we discussed ways to reduce technostress in order to prevent cognitive dissonance about determinants of technology acceptance.
