The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of mother-child interaction and child's social behaviors on child's peer acceptance. Participants were 108 4- to 5-year-old preschoolers(58 boys, 50 girls) and their mothers. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The major findings are summarized as follows: (1) mother-child interaction are generally correlated with child's peer acceptance. And child's prosocial behavior was positively correlated with child's peer acceptance, whereas child's aggressive behavior, asocial behavior and hyperactive-distractible behavior were negatively correlated with child's peer acceptance. (2) The most influential factor on child's peer acceptance was child's experience in session, the next influential factor was child's hyperactive-distractible behavior and the last influential factor was asocial behavior.

The purpose of this study was to develop a Korean version of the acceptance attitude scale and was to verify the reliability and validity of this scale. Study 1 was developed to acceptance attitude scale. First, we extracted the preliminary questions through literature research and previous studies. And the resulting data of to the open-ended questions and in-depth interviews with 324 college students were selected 24 preliminary questions using the content analysis method. Then through a survey of 355 college students conducted a reliability analysis and exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis of the preliminary questions. As a result, 12 item with two sub-factors(externally acceptance, interally acceptance) was extracted. Study 2 was for the validation of the new acceptance attitude scale was conducted online surveys of 328 adults. Conducted a correlation analysis between new acceptance attitude scale and self-esteem, psychological wellbeing, depression, anxiety, fear of negative evaluation were verified for convergent validity. Finally, importance and limitation of this scale development and suggestions for future research are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of self-esteem and the body cathexis on consumers' attitude in acceptance of fashion trends. The subjects were 460 women from in their 20's to 60's living in Daegu area. The scale for self-esteem and the body cathexis were used and self-report questionnaires were applied to measure the acceptance of fashion trends. The data were analysed by frequency, mean, factor analysis, ANOVA and Duncan-test using SPSS-package. The results were as follows. First, the results of analysing the factor of the response of acceptance of fashion trends identified three attitudes; 'active to fashion trends', 'passive to fashion trends' and 'unconcern to fashion trends'. Secondly, there were significant differences in the acceptance of fashion trends in accordance with an age. Thirdly, there were significant differences in the acceptance of fashion trends and clothing shopping orientation according to one's self-esteem and the body cathexis. It appeared that higher the level of self-esteem and the body cathexis predicts an 'active to fashion trend' attitude in acceptance of fashion trends.

Substantial research has been performed on the data standards and exchanges in the AEC/FM industry over the past several years. The growing popularity of BIM technology is based heavily upon a perception that the technology can facilitate the sharing and reuse of information during a project life-cycle. Although many researchers and practitioners are in agreement about the potential applicability and benefit of BIM in construction, it is still unclear why BIM is adopted, and what factors enhance implementation of BIM. Thus, BIM acceptance and use remains a central concern of BIM research and practice. Therefore, we propose the key factors affecting the acceptance of BIM in construction organizations using factor analysis. The key factors for BIM acceptance are identified through a literature review in TAM (Davis 1989) and related theories, and consolidated by interviews and pilot studies with professionals in construction industry. Based on the factors, a questionnaire was designed and sent out to construction organizations such as contractors, architects, and engineers in Korea. Total 148 completed questionnaires were retrieved. Using factor analysis, key factors were grouped into six dimensions. These findings will clarify what the highly prioritized factors are, and can also be used in an assessment tool for the performance of BIM utilization.

This study is progressed for understanding of the acceptance intention differentiated through the view of smart phone non-user's adopting plan. And the research model is proposed in the view of new technology adopting, Innovation Diffusion Theory, Rogers 1995, and Technology Acceptance Model, Davis 1989. In the survey, SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0 are used to analyze the 685 smart phone non-users data. The results of the feasibility analysis and the factor analysis show the measured variables determined in the statistical significant range. Also, 11 hypotheses, among the 16 hypotheses, are adopted by the hypothesis tests through the path analysis, one-way-ANOVA and hierarchial regression analysis. The results indicate variables affect on the non-smart phone user's adopting intention. The primary factor is the perceived usefulness, secondary factor is the social property, and the rest is the playfulness. And, the primary adoption factor is affected to early majority and late majority among each innovation adopters.

The objective of this research is to get the lesson of the policy by searching the factors of technology acceptance focused on u-Health system. For the purpose of this research, this study presented the concept of u-Health and literature review associated with technology acceptance. Also, this research analyzed the factors affecting 'acceptance of u-Health system'. As a result of the analysis, the first factor affecting acceptance of u-health system is 'self-efficacy' and the second factor is 'connecting'. These results showed characteristics of the innovative aspects and the 'anytime and anywhere' in the ubiquitous concept. Therefore, considering these factors when developing with the priority of u-health system will be able to increase the likelihood of business revenue.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships which may exist between interpersonal relationships, depression, anxiety, and self-acceptance. This study also examines whether self-acceptance has any moderating effects on the relationships between interpersonal relationships, depression, and anxiety. The subjects of this study consisted of 400 high school students and the study focused on reporting their levels of interpersonal relationships, depression, anxiety, and self acceptance. The results indicate that depression and anxiety are negatively related to interpersonal relationships and self-acceptance. Interpersonal relationships are positively related to self acceptance. In other words, the more negative the interpersonal relationships, the greater the levels of depression and anxiety. The results also indicate that self-acceptance functions as a protective factor for high school students who have problems with depression and anxiety in their interpersonal relationships.

This study determined the impact of 'Fashion Augmented Reality (FAR)' acceptance factors based on the model of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) on consumer attitudes, intention to use technology, and fashion product purchase intention. A survey asked participants to have an AR experience using a FAR app to understand FAR in advance. Data were analyzed factor analysis and stepwise regression using SPSS. The results are as follows. First, the factor analysis classified the acceptance variables of FAR technology into 'social relations', 'shopping effectiveness', and 'easy to use FAR'. Second, among the three factors of FAR acceptance, 'shopping effectiveness' is statistically more influential on positive attitudes towards FAR. However, 'easy to use' factor was more influential on 'the intention to use technology' as well as 'purchase intention'. Third, 'social relations' were identified as an important factor affecting 'consumer attitudes', 'intention to use technology' and 'purchase intention' which are not well covered in fashion technology research. In addition, 'the intention to use technology' was found to be influential on 'purchase intention' and indicated the importance of easiness of FAR to enhance purchase intention.

This study identifies the structural determinants of the social acceptance of genetically modified (GM) foods across European countries. Toward this end, we suggest an integrated theoretical model to explain the social acceptance of GM foods by including both perception factors (perceived benefit, perceived risk, feelings, trust, and knowledge) and value factors (ethical concerns, science optimism, religiosity, and ideology). This model is then tested by analyzing survey data collected from 18,634 Europeans in 32 countries. The results indicate that first, not only perception factors but also value factors significantly contribute to explaining the acceptance of GM foods. Second, perceived benefits, perceived risk, feelings, and ethical concerns tend to be the four biggest determinants for acceptance. Third, this two-factor model could be generalized even with variation across countries. Finally, ethical concerns and scientific optimism play a moderating role between predictors and outcomes in the acceptance of GM foods.

The benefits of information technology cannot be obtained unless potential users utilize it for their work. This led to a lot of research works on computer system acceptance. But most of the works address the early stage of system introduction, leaving the learning effect on system acceptance unexplored. In this longitudinal study, two groups of novice and experienced users have been empirically investigated and compared for their acceptance of computer system and for the learning effect of actual usage. A research model based on the technology acceptance theory has been proposed and applied to the two groups. The result shows that the factor job relevance gets more important and the effect of user training on system acceptance diminishes as time passes. This finding may help introducing computer systems which can be easily accepted by users over the whole life cycle period of computer systems.
