Despite the benefits of social activity on happiness, humans still spend over one third of their time by themselves-sleeping. The effect of sleep quality on happiness as well as its underlying mechanism are examined in this study. Based on previous findings on the role of sleep in consolidation of memories, it was hypothesized that a good sleep would promote happiness by increasing the likelihood of recalling everyday episodes in a positively biased manner. In Study 1, regardless of one's demographic variables, social variables, and economic status, sleep quality was positively related to life satisfaction. To examine the causal direction of this effect, participants were asked to complete a survey twice with different time intervals. Controlling for baseline variables, sleep quality during previous two weeks (Study 2) or previous day (Study 3) significantly predicted the participants' life satisfaction. Moreover, this relationship was partially mediated by a positive memory bias (Study 3). This study opens interesting questions on a relatively unexamined nonsocial predictor of happiness, sleep quality.

지역빈도해석은 짧은 기간의 자료를 보유하고 있는 계측 지점이나 자료가 없는 미계측 지점에서의 확률수문량을 산정하기 위하여 많이 쓰여 진다. 지역빈도해석을 실시하기 위한 조건으로는 우선 수집된 하천유역들을 대상으로 수문학적 동질 지역을 구분하는 것이 중요하다. 그리고 구분되어진 지역에 포함되는 모든 지점들의 자료를 빈도해석 함으로써 관심 지점의 신뢰할 만한 확률수문량을 산정하는 것이다. 그동안의 지역빈도해석은 주로 비건조지역을 중심으로 홍수와 같은 재난재해 대비 그리고 수자원 관리를 위한 연구들을 실시해왔다. 본 연구의 주 목적은 건조지역의 수자원 관리를 위해 건조지역 하천유역을 중심으로 지역빈도해석을 실시하여 신뢰할만한 확률수문량을 산정하는 것이다. 확률수문량 산정값의 정확도를 향상시키기 위해 지역빈도해석 모델에 쓰여 지는 새로운 지형학적 변수들을 제공하였고 수문학적 동질 지역을 구분 위해 수집된 각 하천유역의 형상들을 확인하여 동질 지역을 정의하였다. 예를 들면, 수지형 유역, 부채형 유역, 격자형 유역과 같은 다른 형상들을 구분하여 각 유역 형상 종류별로 동질 지역을 만들었다. 건조지역의 지역빈도해석을 위해 미국 건조지역의 105개 하천유역 유량자료들을 수집 및 이용하였다. 확률수문량 산정을 위하여 앙상블 인경신경망 (Ensemble Artificial Neural Network)과 정준 상관 계수(Canonical Correlation Analysis)를 이용한 지역빈도해석 모델을 만들었다. 제안된 모델의 수행평가와 정확성 평가를 위해 리샘플링 기법인 10-겹 교차 검증 (10-fold cross-validation), 잭나이프 (Jackknife) 기법들을 이용하였고 모델로부터 산정된 확률수문량값을 편향 (Bias), 상대 편향(rBias), 평균 제곱근 오차 (RMSE), 상대 평균 제곱근 오차 (rRMSE)를 통하여 산정 값과 실제 관측 값의 차이를 분석하였다. 그 결과 건조지역의 지역빈도해석을 위해 새롭게 제시된 지형학적 변수들을 사용하였을 때 모델의 수행능력이 향상되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 하천유역 형상에 따라 동질 지역을 구분하였을 때 향상된 확률수문량이 산정되었다. 향상된 지역빈도해석 모델을 통해 건조지역의 신뢰할만한 확률수문량을 산정함으로써 건조지역의 효과적인 수자원 관리를 위한 수공시설물 설계에 중요한 정보들을 제공할 것이다.

This study examines the relationship between individuals' perceptions on party conflict and affective polarization. It pays particular attention to party identification as a moderating variable. Using a survey conducted in the context of the 2014 Korean local election, the present study hypothesizes that perceiving serious inter-party conflict in the political arena is likely to increase negative feelings toward out-group political party among partisans only. Not only do the results confirm our hypothesis but suggest that conflict perception leads to affective polarization among partisan voters. This paper contributes to our understanding of the mechanism that links the attribution of blame to out-group political party for legislative gridlock with ever-growing affective polarization of the electorate.

This study examines applying the elderly poverty labor hypothesis and skill-biased technological change hypothesis to labor force participation rate(LFPR) of older males in Korea. These hypotheses have hardly been examined on the this group. The analysis is based on the data "Summary of economically active population($1965{\sim}2007$)", "Population projection($1965{\sim}2007$)", "Report on wage structure survey($1993{\sim}2005$)" and "Korea Labor and Income Panel Study($1998{\sim}2006$)". The method employed for this study is logistic regression. The main results from this analysis are summarized in five points. Firstly, Korean older males' LFPR have been increasing since 1965 when industrialization was expanding at full steam. This trend has been different from the decreasing trend of industrialized countries. The second finding is that poor older males' LFPR is, on the average, 5.2% higher than that of non-poor older males from 1998 to 2005. The third result is that the non-elderly man has been increasingly positioned at higher grade occupations, while the elderly man has been held at lower grade occupations. The fourth is that labor demand for highly educated workers has exceeded the increased labor supply of the group, while the demand for low educated workers has decreased far beyond the declined labor supply. As a result, college premium has increased from 139% in 1993 to 157.8% in 2005. The final main implication of this study is that the industrialization theory and modernization hypothesis still holds for the LFPR of Korean older males. However, the elderly affluence hypothesis of the LFPR of older males are hardly persuasive in explaining Korean phenomenon. Especially, we find that the elderly poverty is the main mechanism in determining the Korean LFPR in old ages. This supports the elderly poverty labor hypothesis presented in this study. Skill-biased technological change hypothesis partially explains the LFPR of older man. However, we believe that other factors; human capital specially high school education rather than university education and skill required in less skill biased occupations or the poverty; also have taken effect.

This study is a cross cultural examination of interactivity, comparative advertising, and technology use in Korean and U.S. corporate websites. Utilizing cultural analysis criteria of high vs. low context, power distance and individualism-collectivism, we compared interactivity in U.S. and Korean websites. Our findings indicate that U.S. corporate websites tend to emphasize customer-message and customer-advertiser interactivity, while Korean websites highlight customer-customer interactivity. Findings on comparative advertising strategy indicate that cultural bias represented in U.S. individualism and Korean collectivism leads U.S. web advertisers to utilize direct and indirect comparative advertising more frequently than their Korean counterparts. The results of our technology analysis unexpectedly show that there is no significant difference between the two countries.

According to socioemotional selectivity theory, if people perceive their time left in life as expanded, they have a future-oriented goal of life, but if perceive as limited the goal of life is changed into the pursuit of present emotional satisfaction. Thus, if we perceive our time left as getting limited as we get older, we pay more attention to the positive stimuli than the negative ones and remember more the positive stimuli in order to maintain the current emotional state as positive. This is known as the positivity effect. This study examined whether the positivity effect is caused by a limited future time perspective. The participants were presented with scenarios for hypothetical situations in which the future time was expanded or limited, and were encouraged to immerse in the virtual situation by talking about what they would like to do and whom they wanted to spend time with. Then the participants were presented with 48 positive, negative, and neutral emotional pictures and were asked to recall after 10 minutes delay. 75 university students and 65 elderly participated in the study. In the control condition where the future time perspective was not manipulated, the elderly showed the positivity effect but the youth showed the bias toward negative pictures. The elderly in the expanded time condition recalled positive pictures less and negative pictures more than the elderly in the control condition. On the other hand, the youth in the limited time condition recalled less the negative pictures than the youth in the control condition. These results demonstrated that the elderly did not show the positive bias when the future time perspective was expanded, and that the youth showed the positive bias when the future time perspective was limited. These results show that the positivity effect is related with the limited future time perspective.

SiCp/6061AI 복합재료의 파괴인성을 평가하기 위하여 정적파괴인성에 대해서는 복수시험편법을, 동적파괴인성시험에 대해서는 stop block법을 실시하였다. 주균열은 예비균열의 선단에서 시험편두께방향 전역에 걸쳐서 일시에 발생하는 것이 아니고, 균열발생의 초기단계에서 국부적으로 형성된 균열이 시험편두께방향으로의 균열의 확장을 완료한 후 주균열로 이행해 간다. 정적 및 동적시험에서 컴플라이언스변화율법에 의해 검출된 균열발생점은 균열확장의 완료점과 거의 일치하고 있기 때문에 본 재료의 파괴인성 결정에 유효하다. 본 재료에서 동적파괴인성치는 정적파괴인성치보다 크게 나타났다. 이것은 동적충격시 입자파괴에 의한 에너지의 흡수.분산효과와 균열진전경로의 큰 편향에 기인한다고 생각된다.

Objective : This study was conducted to evaluate the relationships between selective attention bias for fear stimuli and hallucination in patients with schizophrenia Method : A total of 66 patients with schizophrenia admitted to psychiatry clinics were included in the study. Selective attention bias was measured by the dot-probe task. Patient symptoms were measured using the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale, Psychotic Symptom Rating Scale (PSYRATS), Korean version of the Scale to Assess Unawareness of Mental Disorder, and Clinical Global Impression-Severity scale. Results : Selective attention bias was correlated with the hallucination subscale of PSYTATS (r=0.268, p=0.029). No correlation was found between selective attention bias and other clinical measures. There was no significant difference, but a statistical trend was found (p=0.092) in hallucination severities between the biased and non-biased groups. Conclusion : The results suggest that selective attention bias for fear stimuli is associated with auditory hallucination. This preliminary study suggests the possibility of correlation between auditory hallucination in the psychotic domain and anxiety of the affective component.

The aim of this study is to identify the locations at which local wall thinning occurs and to determine the turbulence coefficients related to local wall thinning. Experiments and numerical analyses of the tee sections of different down-scaled piping components were performed and the results were compared. Numerical analyses of full-scale models of actual plants were performed in order to simulate the flow behaviors inside the piping components. In order to determine the relationship between the turbulence coefficients and the rate of local wall thinning, numerical analyses of the tee components in the main feedwater systems were performed. The turbulence coefficients obtained from the numerical analyses were compared with the local wear rate obtained from the measurement data. From the comparison of the results, the vertical flow velocity component (Vr) flowing to the wall after separating in the wall due to the geometrical configuration and colliding with the wall directly at an angle of some degree was analogous to the configuration of local wall thinning.

Landline telephone surveys of the population of households or individuals in Korea often use telephone directories as sampling frames. Recently, the frequency of unlisted numbers in the directories has been increased and the number of households without landline phones has become larger with a spread of mobile phones. Landline telephone coverage has currently reached to a level that raises concerns about the currently due to a coverage bias on the statistics in question. In this paper, we first present the distribution of telephone ownership in Korea and make a comparison with some selected countries. Second, we describe the characteristics of telephone directories. Next, we directly or indirectly estimate the telephone coverage rates of the frames, and show that it may nationally be lower than 65.6% based on additional information. We conclude with remarks about future studies to reduce coverage bias, including the developments of efficient random digit dialing sampling methods.
