This study was conducted to understand the effects of openness, positive acceptance, physical symptoms, reaction, and emotional sensitivity among adolescents' attitudes toward menstruation, and academic stress on premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea. A questionnaire of 126 high school girls who agreed to participate in the study was analyzed. As a result, the subject's premenstrual syndrome score was 22.48 points and dysmenorrhea was 4.66 points, and it was found that the higher the amount of menstruation, the higher the score of premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea. Factors affecting premenstrual syndrome were openness, physical symptoms, reaction, and emotional sensitivity, and the explanatory power of these variables was 49.9%. In addition, positive acceptance and physical symptoms had a significant effect on dysmenorrhea in adolescents, and explanatory power was 66.3%.

The purpose of current study was to identify relations between pregnancy-childbirth infrastructures and intention to childbirth and relocation. We conducted a logistic regression analysis to determine the influence of the pregnancy and childbirth infrastructure level over the people's intentions to have any additional pregnancy and to relocate to other city. The results have showed that the younger the age and the higher the income is, the stronger the intention to have an additional pregnancy becomes, and that of the pregnancy and childbirth infrastructure, only the level of pediatrics service would affect the intention to have another pregnancy. As for the intention to relocate or move to another locations, the results have shown that such intention tends to decline where there are overall sufficient and good pregnancy and childbirth infrastructure in place.

The goal of this study was to find out how prepared Korean high school teachers are to identify suicidal students and connect them to appropriate resources. This study surveyed 390 high school teachers in terms of their level of knowledge on youth suicide and their misconception on suicide. In addition, this study examined what kind of actions they usually take once they identify suicidal students. Results indicated that high school teachers in Korea did not have sufficient knowledge to identify suicidal students and they did not think they are capable of identifying those students. Although their misconception on youth suicide was not as pervasive as expected, some of the misconception were still problematic in relation to suicide intervention. Furthermore, their intervention strategies for suicidal students were quite limited, focusing on isolated individual efforts. It is critical to develop and implement teacher training programs for youth suicide prevention which address suicide risk factors, warning signs, crisis response, and referral procedures.

In this study, it argues that adolescents lack awareness of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and lack of job expression in games, and suggests promising future vocational education through games. Various previous studies reviewed job education, limitations, and educational effects of online games, and studied job expression in the game from the perspective of future promising jobs, and 45 out of 200 jobs appeared in mobile simulation games. It was found that 'content creators', 'drone experts', and 'software developers' were expressed as promising jobs in the future. Although it has a limitation of investigating only the main character's job, it is meaningful that it pointed out that the current game does not sufficiently cover the functional aspects of vocational education for future promising jobs and suggested the need to reflect future promising jobs.

This study analysed the effect of music tempo on young drivers' driving speed. 23 male college students under age 26 were randomly assigned to one of three music conditions as follows; No Music, Slow Music and Fast Music. Every subject's travel time(sec) and driving speed(Km/h) was recorded while they were driving a computer-based driving simulator. As the results of this study, we found that 1) the fast music group's mean of travel time was the shortest and also, 2) their mean of driving speed was the fastest. The effect of music tempo on driving speed can be explained as a biological mechanism, same as the effect on our heart-beat rate or intensity of physical exercising. This result shows us that listening musics while driving can affect the driving speed instead of the driver's physical condition.

Objectives：To review the history of the development and current status of Korean Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and to propose the future tasks at this 20th anniversary of Korean Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Methods：Records and publications of Korean Academy, personal communications with senior members of the Academy, the author's recollections and memoirs. Results：Korean Child Psychiatry started with opening Child Psychiatry Clinic at Seoul National University Hospital in 1979 and establishing Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the same hospital in 1980. A Child Psychiatry Study Group was formed in 1983 and it transformed into Korean Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in 1986. In the past 20 years, Korean child and adolescent psychiatry made an impressive progress and contributed significantly to the development of Korean medicine as well as to the establishment of child mental health service. There are 77 board-certified and 48 board-eligible child psychiatrists, and 18 child psychiatry fellows are in training as of 2003. Main forces of this successful introduction of child psychiatry are 1) 7 child psychiatry training centers at major university hospitals, 2) publication of Korean Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in 1990, 3) the establishment child psychiatry board certification system in 1996. Korean child psychiatry has extended its role in the international child psychiatry and took leadership in establishing Asian Society of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions(ASCAPAP). Conclusion：Korean child psychiatry has achieved a remarkable progress for the past 20 years and is currently producing 15 or more child psychiatry each year. However, there are needs of more active involvements in adolescent problems, more active consultation-liaison services at general hospitals as well as community mental health institutions. More school consultation and preventive educational services are desired. There is a urgent need of carrying out more empirical studies with strong scientific rigor. Korean Academy should pay attention and provide assistance to the development of child psychiatry service in other countries in Asia.

This describes the level of knowledge and attitudes about HIV and their related factors among Cambodian adolescents. A cross-sectional design was used to examine the knowledge and attitude of 463 Cambodian high school students using HIV-KQ-18 (HIV-Knowledge Questionnaire-18) and HIV/AIDS Behavior Surveillance Survey Index (measuring attitude about HIV). The majority of the adolescents had a relatively low level of overall HIV knowledge (6.70 ± 3.66 (range: 0-16)) and held a very negative attitude (1.92 ± 0.87 points (range: 0-4)) toward the disease. Using multiple regression analysis, being male (β = 0.28, p < 0.001) and using YouTube as a social network service (β = 0.33, p = 0.035) were found to be independent factors associated with higher level of HIV knowledge. Study findings suggest the importance of informing policymakers and school nurses about the need to develop a and require a culturally sensitive specific health education program on HIV for Cambodian adolescents.

Hallyu in Malaysia is considered to be in the growth stage as in countries such as Philippine, Myanmar, Hungary, and Uzbekistan. In the growth stage, Hallyu becomes increasingly popular and familiar to the general public and the sales of Hallyu-related products starts to increase. The purpose of this research is to compare how Hallyu is perceived among Malaysian youths and adults. Analysis is carried out using FGD. The two groups are asked about what they think of Korea and the success of Hallyu, how much interest they have in foreign cultures in general, and how they come into contact with them. Based on these results, problems currently facing Hallyu and possible solutions are examined. The analysis shows that the interest in Hallyu among Malaysians varies according to age and gender. Both male and female participants in their 20's have shown a much greater interest in Hallyu than the participants over 30's. But Malaysians are known to be relatively open-minded about accepting foreign cultures, and this is reflected in the current study. They view the popularity of Korean drama, movies, and music as a trend, rather than being intolerant of them. There is no concern for negativity toward Hallyu in Malaysia, but it is likely that Hallyu may be replaced by another foreign culture unless its influence is constantly maintained in the area. Therefore, it is essential to develop measures and models to not only retain, but strengthen Hallyu's influence.
