Purpose: The aim of this study is to carry out research on nurses regarding end of life decision and advance directives (ADs) and their attitude, experience and confidence towards them in order to define the role of nurses. Methods: In this research, questionnaire was distributed and data were collected and analyzed after receiving a written consent from 332 nurses. The survey was conducted from the $14^{th}$ to $30^{th}$ of September, 2009. The instrument used for conducting the study was revised version of KAESAD (The Knowledge, Attitudinal, Experiential Survey on Advance Directives). Results: We have come to a conclusion that nurses have positive attitude towards ADs. However, they hardly had any experience regarding them which leads to low confidence in assisting preparing ADs. Also, attitude towards ADs had no correlation with experience and confidence. Conclusion: In order to bring about the confidence level from positive attitude that nurses have, there needs to be a systematic change in nursing education. For that, it requires an education system that emphasizes the role of nurses which incorporates Korean culture and characteristics regarding death issue.

We carried out targeting 381 elementary school students who attend 4 schools in J city and K city of J province from June 25 to July 15, 2009. The statistical processing was done by SPSS WIN 12.0 Version. The statistical significance was set to p<.05. As for correlation between variables of cardiopulmonary resuscitation characteristics with knowledge, attitude, and self-confidence, the appearance of acquiring information(r=.174, p<.01), the appearance of experiencing cardiopulmonary resuscitation(r=.143, p<.01), the appearance of educating cardiopulmonary resuscitation(r=.164, p<.01), necessity for education(r=.184, p<.01), knowledge(r=.342, p<.01), and attitude(r=.736, p<.01) showed correlation with self-confidence. As for influence of knowledge and attitude toward cardiopulmonary resuscitation upon self-confidence, the attitude($\beta=.703$, t=17.884, p<.01) had significant influence upon self-confidence. It is necessary to arrange educational program of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, to distribute effective manpower, and to provide elementary school students to cope with emergent situation.

The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of mathematical disposition and attitude through the foster self-confidence and learning motivation by STAD cooperative learning. For this purpose, we made up an experimental class. And then we investigated the students' change in these aspects after the foster self-confidence and learning motivation by STAD cooperative learning. As a result of the experiment, we find that significant changes on the students' mathematical disposition and attitude utilizing the foster self-confidence and learning motivation by STAD cooperative learning. Therefore, in this study, I want to solve the particular problems that follow. First, what is the reaction of utilizing the foster self-confidence and learning motivation by STAD cooperative learning mathematical program for students? Is it effective utilizing the foster self-confidence and learning motivation by STAD cooperative learning to improve students' mathematical disposition? Third, does utilizing the foster self-confidence and learning motivation by STAD cooperative learning have a positive impact on students' mathematical attitude?

Utilizing the quantitative analysis methodology of questionnaire, the study explores the differences in the factors of achievement motivation, learning mathematics attitude and learning mathematics self-confidence and also the relationship between mathematics academic achievement and these factors in three areas in China. The following conclusions are drawn: 1. The subjects from different development level areas have significant differences in motivation, attitude and self-confidence in mathematics; 2. The subjects from different areas who possess the same ethnic group have significant differences. But the subjects from same area who possess different nationalities have little difference. It can be concluded that that the differences in these factors can be contributed to regional differences, rather than to ethnic differences; 3.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of interactivity on consumers' mental imagery, attitude toward a product, confidence in evaluation and purchase intention. The proposed model was examined by conducting an experiment using mock apparel websites. A total of 1,009 female college students enrolled at a major midwestern university in the USA participated in the experiment. A structural equation model was used to test the model. The results of the study indicate that interactivity positively influenced mental imagery, attitudes toward a product imagery, and confidence in evaluation. The structural equation model also revealed that mental imagery positively influenced attitude toward a product and confidence in evaluation. Finally, the results show that attitude toward a product and confidence in judgment positively affected purchase intention. The study provides valuable theoretical perspectives which aide in the understanding of the effect of interactivity on consumers' cognitive and behavioral responses, and helps retailers develop effective marketing strategies.
