Objective : Purpose of this study is to develop a Sensory Processing Scale for Children (SPS-C) to screen sensory processing problems for children aged 3 to 5, and examine validity of the assessment. Method : A draft version of Sensory Processing Scale for Children (SPS-C) has been developed and it was utilized to 138 caregivers of children who are 3 to 5 years old. Rasch analysis was used to test construct validity of SPS-C. Through the Rasch analysis, unidimensionality and adequacy of the rating scale were examined. Results : Based on the Rasch analysis, it was found that six items out of 56 items (10.7%) are misfits. And the results also showed that 3-points rating scale is more adequate than 5-points scale for SPC-C. Conclusion : The construct validity of a newly developed assessment, Sensory Processing Scale for Children (SPS-C), was established through this study. Further studies are needed to examine other psychometric properties of the assessment, using the one modified based on the results in this study.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to develop an assessment tool to measure Korean occupational balance. Methods : From March 2017 to July 2019, preliminary questionnaire was prepared through analysis of previous research and expert focus meeting, and preliminary questions were selected through the Delphi survey. In order to verify the validity of the items, Rash analysis was conducted to analyze the persons and items fitness, the distribution of item difficulty, separation reliability, and the appropriateness of the rating scale. Results : Among 141 subjects, 9 (6.38%) in time use and 11 (7.80%) in the occupation area were inappropriate subjects. As a result of analyzing the appropriateness of the items except for the inappropriate subjects, the 3 items were judged as ineligible items, but 1 item of the occupation characteristics was finally deleted based on the theoretical and clinical grounds. In the analysis of the scale, 4 points were more appropriate than the 5 point scale, and the separation reliability was .86~.94. Finally, 3 categories (time use, occupation area, occupation characteristics) and 18 items were selected. Conclusion : The occupational balance assessment tool was selected three categories and 18 questions finally, three categories and 18 questions, and was developed on a four-point Likert scale. Further research needs to prove the concurrent validity of the K-OBA and to analyze the factors that influence the occupational balance.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to verify the construct validity of Short Sensory Profile-2 (SSP-2) for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Methods : Data were collected from SSP-2 for 120 parents of ASD children. Raw data were analyzed by applying the Rasch analysis to the goodness fit of person and item, item difficulty, rating scale, and separation reliability of SSP-2. Results : 7 persons in sensory processing area and 8 persons in behavioral response area were inappropriate criteria and excluded from the analysis. Item goodness-of-fit analysis determined that the If the Mnsq value is between 0.6 and 1.4 and the Z value is outside the ±2 range for nonconformity. this study All items in the instrument were found to have appropriate criteria. Item difficulty analysis in sensory processing area was high in item 13 (.48 logit) and low in item 10 (-.54 logit). In the behavioral response area, item 25 (1.58 logit) was high and item 30 (-.68 logit) was low. In the rating scale analysis, it was found that the 3-point scale is more appropriate than the 5-point scale. The separation reliability of sensory processing area was .90 and the behavioral response area was .95. Conclusion : This study verified the construct validity of SSP-2 and expected to be applied as a useful evaluation tool for children with ASD.

Bipolar disorder is a psychopathy characterized by manic and major depressive episodes. It is important to determine the degree of depression when treating patients with bipolar disorder because 810% of bipolar patients commit suicide during the periods in which they experience major depressive episodes. The Hamilton depression rating scale is most commonly used to estimate the degree of depression in a patient. This paper proposes using the Hamilton depression rating scale to estimate the effectiveness of patient treatment based on the linear mixed effects model and the transition model. Study subjects were recruited from the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital who scored 8 points or above in the Hamilton depression rating scale on their first medical examination. The linear mixed effects model and the transition model were fitted using the Hamilton depression rating scales measured at the baseline, six month, and twelve month follow-ups. Then, Hamilton depression rating scale at the twenty-four month follow-up was predicted using these models. The prediction models were then evaluated by comparing the observed and predicted Hamilton depression rating scales on the twenty-four month follow-up.

Previous studies on double scale models, visual models with two different scales (Chong, 2015), have focused on double number line and little research has been conducted on how to employ double scale models in the elementary mathematics textbooks series. Given this, we analyzed the characteristics of double scale models in the Japanese elementary mathematics textbooks in the following aspects: (a) the contents of units where double scale models were used; (b) the purposes of using such models; (c) the types of such models tailored to the contents and grade levels; and (d) the characteristics of problem contexts dealing with the models. The results of this study showed that double scale models were effectively used to connect the contents related to multiplication, specifically for the contexts of ratio. Such models were addressed for students in a systematic and gradual way as the grade levels went up. Based on these results, this paper describes implications on how to use double scale models in mathematics textbooks.

The purpose of this study was to validate the Korean version of Inventory of Parent Attachment(K-IPA), The first version of K-IPA was developed through the process of translation and tack translation of items of parent attachment from Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (Armsden & Greenberg, 1986), content validation test with 30 elementary school children, and content validation test with an expert group. The validation test with 964 students (emementary, middle, high school) confirmed all 25 items(each items were asked for mother and father) were appropriate and reliable, K-IPA consists of three different sub-scales, 10 items for trust scale, 9 items for communication scale, and 6 items isolation across all age groups.

The purpose of this study is to develop the 'Kkondae Scale' and verify its validity. For this purpose, three constructive concepts (attribution error, cognitive rigidity, and one-way communication) were derived through expert interviews, prior research and literature analysis, and 15 preliminary questions were selected. In addition, a preliminary scale was developed by modifying or adding items to conform to each constructive concept through expert content validity evaluation. Next, as a result of the exploratory factor analysis of about 250 adults, a three-factor structure model was derived. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis on the preliminary scale for about 401 adults, it was confirmed that the fit of the three-factor structure was good. As a result of convergence and discriminatory validity analysis, it was confirmed that the developed scale was a valid tool to measure Kkondae by showing appropriate correlations with listening attitude, empathy, acceptance of others, and intellectual humility. Finally, based on the results of this study, the significance, limitations, and future research direction of the study were discussed.

The purpose of the study was to validate the Korean version of the Heterophobia Scale for Gay Male (HGM). Heterophobia refers to the rejection, fear, and avoidance that sexual minorities feel against of heterosexuals. The three subscales of HGM assesses the unease/avoidance, disconnectedness, and expected rejection fromwith heterosexual male. To validate the Korean HGM, item translation, item analysis, and exploratory factor analysis were conducted. From the Using exploratory factor analysis of the Korean version of the HGM(N=213), per 13 items, a 3-factor model consisting of 13 items wereas determined. The Cconfirmatory factor analysis supported the goodness of fit of the 3-factor structure of the K-HGM (N=153) and showed adequate model fit, K-HGM showed adequate the internal consistency, convergent validity, discriminant validity and Criterion validity was good with other related scales (K-SOMS, K-MISS-G, SDS-9, and RS). In conclusion, the K-HGM is a valid measure of heterophobia for gay male within the Korean population. Based on the findings, implications, practical use, limitations, and suggestions for future study are discussed.

Shapiro와 Wilk(1972)는 위치모수와 척도모수가 미지인 경우 지수분포의 검정통계량을 제안하였다. 그것은 척도모수의 일반화 최소제곱추정량과 표본분산의 비로 구성되었다. 그러나 이 검정통계량은 일치성을 갖지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 척도모수의 두개의 점근유효추정량으로 구성된 통계량을 고려하고 이의 극한분포를 구하였다. 또한 두 개의 통계량의 검정력을 비교한 결과 제안된 통계량이 변동계수가 1보다 크거나 같은 분포에서 더 좋은 검정력을 가짐을 볼 수 있었다.
