In this study, a risk-appearance frequency evaluation model for railway level-crossing accidents is developed with the frequency estimation based on the accident history. It follows the worldwide common safety management approach and reflects the operation conditions and accident properties of the domestic railway system. The risk appearance frequency evaluation process contains a development of accident scenarios by defining the system configurations and functions, and a frequency estimation of hazardous events based on the accident history. The developed model is verified with the accident history during 5 years('03-'07) for 3 hazardous events: 'Being trapped in level crossing(Hl)', 'Crossing during warning signal(H2)' and 'Breaking through/detouring the barrier(H3)'. This risk appearance frequency evaluation model will be combined with a consequence evaluation model so as to offer full risk assessment for the railway accident. The accident risk assessment will contribute to improving the safety management of the railway system.

Appearance management is a serious issue for adults and young people in Korean society. People of various ages have used diverse means to improve their appearances. This study focused on dieting as an appearance management behavior in female adolescents. Dieting behaviors are not just a means to improve appearance; they may also relate to individuals' beliefs and self-control. The importance of individual psychological/personality factors cannot, therefore, be ruled out. Such factors can help explain personality factors explain "what causes a compulsive diet and what factors can alleviate it". This study reviewed the literature on perfectionism and self-control as individual personality factors, and empirically examined the effects of these variables on perceived body distortion and dieting behaviors. We performed a structural equation model analysis to verify our hypothesis. The results are as follows: we found perfectionism to be positively related to perceived body distortion and dieting behaviors; we also found self-control to be negatively related to perceived body distortion though unrelated to dieting behaviors; finally, our analysis identified a relationship between perceived body distortion and dieting behaviors. These results indicate that perfectionism and self-control should be considered when conducting guidance and counseling sessions on issues related to dieting behaviors for adolescent' appearance management. This paper concludes by discussing the study's implications and limitations.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine correlation between subjective oral health status and oral-related appearance satisfaction of college students. 100 college students at a college located in Gyeonggi-do participated in the survey, oral examinations, and self-rated oral hygiene management ability tests. The data was then analyzed accordingly. Methods: Frequency test and chi-square statistical analysis were conducted on general characteristics and subjective oral health status, and SAS version 9.2 was used. Results: As a result of this study, students' subjective perceptions about oral health had positive correlation with oral-related appearance(p <0.05). It is noteworthy that those who responded on 'satisfactory' oral health status indicated that 16% 'unsatisfactory', 28% 'average' and 68% 'satisfactory' on oral-related appearance. Students' self-rated oral hygiene management ability and irregular teeth conditions were also found relevant in causing discomfort in interpersonal activities, whereas students responded 'satisfactory', 0.00%; 'average', 31.82%; 'unsatisfactory' 68.18% (p <0.05). Conclusion: This study suggests that oral-related appearance can have an impact on oral health status and that oral-related appearance can be a contributing factor to improve oral health status and therefore results in promotion of general health. In the future, further research should be considered about perception on oral-related appearance, oral health status and any resulting behavior changes.

본 연구는 중고 청소년을 대상으로 하여 외모에 대한 태도의 정도가 교우 및 교사와의 관계, 학습 적응 정도, 그리고 교칙준수와 같은 전반적인 학교생활에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 파악함으로써 학교생활 지도와 가정 교과의 의생활 영역의 기초자료를 얻고자 하였다. 조사대상자는 광주광역시 남, 여 중 고등학생을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며 총 481부를 최종 자료로 사용하였다. 자료 분석은 통계패키지 SPSS/PC WIN 14.0 프로그램을 사용하였으며, 연구문제를 해결하기 위해 기술 통계, t-검증, 일원배치 분산분석(One-Way ANOVA), Duncan-test, 신뢰도 분석(Cronbach's ${\alpha}$), 요인분석(Varimax 회전), Pearson의 상관 분석, 중다회귀분석을 실행하였다. 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 결과를 종합해 보면 학교적응을 위해서는 청결관리를 강조하여 생활지도가 이루어져야 할 것이며 교우 관계의 적응을 위해서는 친구들 사이에 유행하는 스타일 추구나 외모관리경험을 허용하는 것도 도움이 될 것이다. 또한 학교 규율 적응을 위해서는 외모불만을 조절하고 청결관리를 강조하며 학습적응을 위해서는 청결관리를 강조하되 최신 유행을 따르며 교복을 변형하는 등의 스타일추구를 제한하는 것이 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다. 특히 성적이 중하위권 이하인 여자 고등학생의 교사와의 관계, 학교규율 적응과 학습적응을 위해서는 스타일추구나 외모관리감정을 조절할 수 있도록 지도하며 도움을 줄 수 있는 프로그램의 개발이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study was to examine and understand body image, appearance behaviors, and eating disturbances among females in the Diet Center. Subjects for this research were 40 females enrolled at the Diet Center in Seoul. They were interviewed for this study using an interview schedule at September in 2004. As a result, most of the subjects (87%) were dissatisfied with their bodies, especially their lower body such as hip, thighs, legs, stomach. Subjects tended to use dieting and fasting (46.3%) as the most common appearance management behaviors in relation to the body parts. Make-up (32.9%) was also used as routine appearance behaviors, while 37.5% of subjects have had cosmetic surgery on eyes, nose and liposuction. Sixty percent of subjects had participated in Diet center programs more than twice. This may mean that society pressures women to have a slim body, which then will result in more self-confidence. Subjects tend to engage in unhealthy eating behaviors, such as 'fasting', 'inducing vomit', 'using diet pills or laxatives', and 'after chewing, spit out'. Based on these results, socio-cultural body image regarding ideal beauty would be discussed.

본 연구는 중학생의 자아개념, 즉 일반자아, 학문자아, 중요타인자아, 정의자아개념에 따라 외모관리행동인 의복스타일추구, 화장 및 피부관리, 헤어관리, 성형 및 체형보정, 체중관리행동에 어떠한 차이가 나타나는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 특히 가정이나 학교 등의 생활 지도 현장에서 중학생의 외모관리행동은 세대 간의 의견차가 보이는 영역이므로, 이 연구를 통해 중학생의 외모관리행동을 이해할 수 있는 기초 자료를 제공하고자 하였으며, 가정교과교육을 통한 자아개념의 증진 방안을 모색하는데 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같았다. 본 연구의 조사대상자인 중학생들은 평균적으로 자아개념이 낮아 자신을 부정적으로 인식하고 있었으며 외모관리 행동 또한 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 자신을 긍정적으로 볼 수 있는 노력과 함께 외모관리행동을 통한 자아개념의 긍정적 증진이 필요하다고 하겠다. 긍정적 자아개념을 가지고 있는 중학생들은 피부를 청결하게 유지하는 것이나 헤어를 아름답게 손질하고 가꾸는 것 등으로 자신을 나타내려하며, 옷, 신발, 가방을 잘 갖추어 입고 깨끗하게 관리함으로써 스스로의 자존감이나 개성을 표현하려고 하였다. 또한 자신을 인식할 때 공부와 학업에 대해 긍정적 태도를 보이며, 중요시되는 타인과의 관계를 원만하게 지각하고, 자신의 신체나 정서에 대해 긍정적인 태도를 보이는 중학생들은 의복에 대해 높은 관심을 가지고 자신이 추구하는 이미지를 나타내려는 행동이 높은 반면, 성형이나 체형 등 자신의 신체를 인위적으로 변경시키려는 행동은 적게 하는 것으로 나타났다. 적절한 외모관리행동은 자신을 긍정적으로 보는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.
