This study examined the mediating effects of social support on the relationship between self-efficacy and adjustment to university life. Data were collected from 202 university students attending K university in Jeonbuk province using self-reported questionnaires from April 1 to 30, 2017. The demographic characteristics, self-efficacy, social support and adjustment to university life were analyzed by descriptive statistical analyses. The difference in adjustment to university life by demographic characteristics was analyzed by the t-test and ANOVA with Scheffe's post hoc test, while the correlation between variables was measured using Pearson's Correlation Coefficient. The mediating effects of social support were determined by the 3-step multiple regression method developed by Baron and Kenny, and the statistical significance of the mediating effect was measured using the Sobel test. Social support had a partial mediating effect in the relationship between self-efficacy and adjustment to university life. The results of this study will be useful a basic data for the development of a program to enhance self-efficacy and social support systems.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the Health Locus of Control (HLC), social support (SS), self-efficacy (SE) and Health Promoting Behavior (HPB) in middle-aged adults and the factors influencing their HPB. Data were collected from 137 middle-aged adults in the cities of Chungbuk and Chungnam for 2 months from July to August 2016 using structured questionnaires. The data collected were analyzed by descriptive statistics, the t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlations, and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that the HPB varied significantly according to the subjective health (F=10.14, p<.001) and economic level (F=3.32, p= .039) among the general characteristics. In the relationship between the major variables, the HPB showed a significant positive correlation with the SE (r=.44, p<.001) and SS (r=.45, p<.001). A multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine the effects of the general characteristics, HLC, SE, and SS on the HPB, and the results showed that the factors influencing the HPB were the subjective health status (${\beta}=.24$, p=.002), SE (${\beta}=.29$, p<.001), and SS (${\beta}=.30$, p<.001), and these factors showed a combined explanatory power of 36.4%. The results of this study suggest that the SE and SS are important factors affecting the HPB. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and apply a health promotion program reflecting the SE and SS, in order to (promote) the (HPB) of middle-aged adults.

This study attempted to provide basic data for career counseling and education programs by verifying the mediating effect of career decision-making self-efficacy on relationship between perceived social support and career preparation behavior of Korean Polytechnics students. A total of 314 students from 11 departments attending the I Campus of Korea Polytechnics II were surveyed, and the research results are as follows. First, it was found that career decision-making self-efficacy completely mediated the relationship between social support and career preparation behavior. Second, the career decision-making self-efficacy had complete mediating effects on the relation between social support and career preparation behavior. Third, it was found that social support indirectly had a positive effect on career preparation behavior through career decision-making self-efficacy. The results of this study show that perceived social support of Korean Polytechnics students affects career decision-making self-efficacy and increases the level of career preparation behavior. This suggests that through active social support around Korean Polytechnics students, it is necessary to provide environmental factors that can promote career preparation behavior by enhancing the self-efficacy of career decision-making, which is a low-level factor for students.

We attempted to identify the mediating effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between health perception, social support, and health promotion behaviors among university students and to provide basic data to improve health promotion behaviors. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from a sample of 173 university students in City C. Health promotion behaviors according to general characteristics were found to have statistically significant differences in gender(t=3.892, p<.001) and major satisfaction(F=5.867, p=.003) .There was no statistically significant difference in age, grade, major field, hospitalization or surgery experience in the last three years, and economic activity. Health promotion behavior was positively correlated with health perception (r=.439, p<.001), social support (r=.532, p<.001), and self-efficacy (r=.533, p<.001) and was statistically significant. It was found that self-efficacy had a partial mediating effect (Z=3.964, p<.001) on the effect of health perception on health promotion behavior, and self-efficacy had a partial mediating effect (Z=4.24, p<.001) on the effect of social support on health promotion behavior. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the factors affecting health support, social support, and self-efficacy among college students and prepare intervention measures to improve health promotion behavior.

In this paper, we propose the moderating effects of self-efficacy and social support on the relationship between physical therapists' job stress and psychological burnout. Based on the previous studies, this study set up three types of variables: 1) independent variable, 2) moderating variable, 3) dependent variable. Job stress was identified as an independent variable, self-efficacy and social support was identified as a moderating variable and psychological burnout was identified as a dependent variable. To empirically conduct this study, a total of 200 questionnaires were distributed to physical therapists. Consequently, a total of 155 survey responses were collected. The survey results are as follows. First, the result showed a high-level of correlation among job stress, psychological burnout, self-efficacy, and social support. Second, self-efficacy was found to have a moderating effect on the relationship between the physical therapists' job stress and psychological burnout. Third, social support was found to have a moderating effect on the relationship between the art therapists' job stress and psychological burnout.
