The purpose of the present study was to investigate empirically the relationship among self-image, depression, anxiety, and social sensitivity in adolescents. 1602 normal adolescents(697 males and 905 females) responded to self report scales-Offer Self-Image Questionnaire-Revised, 3 subscales of Symptom Checklist-90-Revised. The data were analyzed with ANOVA and LISREL to examine the effect of self-image on depression, anxiety, and social sensitivity, and to test the relationship among the above 4 variables. Adolescents with low self-image showed significantly higher scores in the scales of depression, anxiety, and social sensitivity than did adolescents with high self-image. The result of LISREL showed that the low self-image leads to the emotional state of depression and anxiety, and those of depression and anxiety lead to the increase of social sensitivity, suggesting that self-image has a direct effect on depression and anxiety, and has a direct effect on social sensitivity in adolescent. These results were discussed in terms of implications for the prevention and treatment of adolescent social phobia.

The purpose of this study is to develop a measurement tool for self-image of the teacher librarian by semantic differential meaning scale and to analyse the correlation between their self-image and individual characteristics. This study suggests that the teacher librarians have regarded themselves as friendly, planned, sensitive and cooperative persons as well as persons with discernment. On the other hand, there are some negative self-images such as partial, poor and uninfluential persons plus disregarder and a reserved persons. The educational career of teacher librarians' background has influence on evaluation area of the self-image. This result shows that senior teacher librarians' role performance as a adviser or a leader is very important. So mediator role of KLA and KSLA has to be reinforced to beat the exchange and collaboration between the senior and the junior teacher librarians. It is necessary to appoint the teacher librarians obligatorily in oder to feel their professional security and sense of achievement, also to appreciate expertise of them through role clarification among the human resources of the school library.

The purpose of this study is to measure self images of public librarians who should increasingly take charge of services for children and young people through the semantic differential method and analyze its' general characteristics. According to the results of analysis public librarians have been satisfied with their works and believed that they are kind, fair and gentle. One the other hand, they have had negative self images such as no influence, neglect, poor and stuffiness. Therefore, the result show that public librarians consider their ability, quality and activity as positive images, but they have felt lack of the social consensus and affirmative evaluation of their role. So, we can see building a good physical environment and running great programs to create access of children and young people to the public libraries, demonstrating leadership among senior librarians are so important in order to beat the stereotype and improve their positive self images of their evaluation and role. It is also necessary to promote the new value and role of public libraries and librarianship and to enable retraining for cultivating their qualities as a teacher.

We investigated the self-concept, subjective depression, and state-trait anxiety of the school boys with learning disabilities(abbr. LD, n=86) and compared them with normal boys(n=52) using Piers-Harris Self-Concept Inventory, Child Depression Inventory(abbr. CDI), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(abbr. STAI). With regard to Piers-Harris Self-Concept Inventory total scores, there was no significant difference between two groups, but normal boys showed higher scores in intellectual and school status, physical appearance, and happiness-satisfaction subscales than patients with LD. The male patients with LD showed significantly higher ratings in CDI total scores, and CDI subscales - ineffectiveness, anhedonia, negative self-esteem than normal children. The patients with LD reported significantly higher state anxiety, but not trait anxiety. Correlation analyses revealed that self-concept decreased over time, and depression-anxiety increased across grades in the patients with LD, but not in normal children. Especially, negative mood, anhedonia, negative self-esteem subscales of CDI, and state-trait anxiety showed significant positive correlation with grades. In both groups, CDI scores were inversely correlated with Piers-Harris Self-Concept and positively with State-Trait anxiety. In conclusion, self-concept problems which were related with school achievement and self-esteem were more abundant in the patients with LD than normal children, self-image problem, depression and anxiety increased across grades. According to regression analysis, age, behavior subscale, intellectual-school status, anxiety, popularity, happiness-satisfaction, CDI-ineffectiveness, interpersonal problem, negative self-esteem, and state anxiety could explain the self-concept in the patients with LD, not in normal children. So, the self-concept of the patients with LD were found to be related to the school achievement and stress when comparing with peers. In conclusion, elementary school boys with LD showed lower self-concept, higher depression and anxiety, and these differences increased across grades. Since the patients with LD have concomitant depression and anxiety disorders, it is important that comorbidity with emotional problems should be explored and managed properly.

This purpose of this study was to investigate self-esteem, body image and depression in infertile women and to identify factors influencing depression. There were statistically significant difference in self-esteem on variables such as age, education, occupation, pressure of treatment cost. There were statistically significant difference in body image on variables such as period of marriage, education, pressure of treatment cost. There were statistically significant difference in depression on variables such as age, education, family structure, pressure of treatment cost. Self-esteem was positively correlated with body image(r=.688, p=.000). Depression was negatively correlated with self-esteem(r=-.710, p=.000) and body image(r=-.526, p=.000). Factors influencing depression were self-esteem(b=-0.66, p=.000), Living with parents-in-law(b=-7.92, p=.001), and age over 40 years(b=-1.72, p=.033), which explained 63.5%.

The author studied the mental status of 497 patients admitted in non-psychiatric wards and 42 patients diagnosed as mental disorders by DSM-III-R criteria and admitted in three general hospitals located in Pusan city, using NADS and PSCS. The assessment were obtained from October, 1991 to March, 1992 and the results as follows: The mean ${\pm}$ SD of Anxiety-Depression scores were $34.4{\pm}10.4$ in non-psychiatric patients and $50.0{\pm}18.3$ in psychiatric patients. The psychiatric group had significantly higher scores than non-psychiatric group. The mean ${\pm}$ SD of Psychosis scores were $3.9{\pm}4.4$ in non-psychiatric patients and $20.3{\pm}9.8$ in psychiatric patients. The psychiatric group had significantly higher scores than non-psychiatric group. In the psychosocial factors, dissatisfaction in family atmosphere and acquaintanceship with parellts(P<0.001, relatively), pessimistic in future, present and past self-images(P<0.001, relatively), and yes in previous psychiatric treatment of admission(P<0.01, relatively) had common significant relationships to Anxiety-Depression and Psychosis scores. There were correlationships between NADS scores and PSCS scores(${\gamma}$ = 0.74), past and present self-images(${\gamma}$ = 0.45), present and future self images(${\gamma}$ = 0.45), past and future self-images(${\gamma}$ = 0.34) and family atmosphere and acquaintanceship with parents(${\gamma}$ = 0.49). The regression analysis revealed that present self-image, acquaintanceship with parents, future self-image, past self-image, and family atmosphere, in order of significance were to be descriptive or predicable variances for Anxiety-Depression status. The discriminant analysis according to Anxiety-Depression scores showed that the cases of incorrect classification were 22 for non-psychiatric patient group and 2 for psychiatric patient group.

This study investigates what older adults have image of older adult with relation to their self-identity. Fourteen participants are interviewed in this study. The main findings are as follows. Their response to image of older adult is divided in the form of 'denial' and 'accommodation' about social images of older adults. 'Denial' has 'total denial' and 'selective denial' while 'accommodation' includes 'acceptive accommodation', 'selective accommodation' and 'unwilling accommodation'. 'Total denial' indicates that the participants describe older adults very negatively, and they regard themselves as a person who is totally different from the older person they describe. 'Selective denial' represents that the participants have two types of older adults: negative and positive. They describe that they are close to the positive type of older adults themselves although they do not admit that they are older adults. 'Acceptive accommodating' does not describe older adults negatively, and they identify themselves as older adults. 'Selective accommodating' are very similar to 'selective denial' although the former differs from the latter in that they accept that they are older adults. 'Selective accommodating' also includes negative and positive types of older adults, and this type of participants admit that they are older adults, and believe that they belong to the positive type. In contrast to 'acceptive accommodating', 'unwilling accommodating' describes older adults very negatively. However, the participants belonging to 'unwilling accommodating' comes to accept that they are older adults due to irresistible realities.

청소년기로 대변되는 중ㆍ고등학생은 자기가 평가한 자아상이 아닌 타인이 평가한 자아상을 더 신뢰하는 경향이 있다. 이러한 심리적 불안 또는 신체적 불균형을 해결하기 위하여 의복과 같은 구체적인 외형을 통하여 소속감을 형성하고 심리적 안정과 사회적 인정을 얻고자 한다. 이러한 경향은 자칫 의복에 대한 지나친 관심을 낳기도 한다. 의복에 대한 필요 이상의 관심을 억제시키고, 의복을 통일함으로써 건전한 학교생활을 하도록 하기 위해 교복 착용을 하고 있다. (중략)
