최근 체화된 인지 접근에 따르면 행위의 이해는 추상적인 기호 처리가 아니라 그 행위와 관련된 감각-운동 정보의 심적 모사(mental simulation)를 통해 이루어진다고 주장되고 있다. 이 주장을 지지하는 증거로서 제시된 운동공명효과(motor resonance effect)는 관찰되는 행위와 현재 수행하는 행위 사이의 유사성에 의해 행위자의 운동 반응에 일어나는 간섭 혹은 촉진 효과를 말한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 운동공명효과가 복잡한 사회적 행위를 지각하는 상황에서도 일어나는지 그리고 사회적 행위의 해석 관점에 따라 그 효과가 어떻게 달라지는 지를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 어떤 행위자가 세 가지 신체 부위(팔, 발, 입)를 사용하여 다른 사람과 다투는 행위 장면을 그림으로 묘사하고, 각 그림을 행위자의 관점에서 기술하거나(예, 간호사가 의사를 때렸다/밟았다/물었다), 피행위자의 관점에서 기술하여(예, 의사가 간호사에게 맞았다/밟혔다/물렸다), 행위 사건 지각의 관점을 조절하였다. 실험 1에서는 실험참가자로 하여금 제시된 그림과 문장이 일치하면 페달을 밟거나 혹은 버튼을 누르는 행동 반응을 하도록 지시함으로써, 발 행위의 운동공명효과를 측정하였고, 실험 2에서는 마이크와 버튼을 이용하여 입 행위에 대한 운동공명효과를 측정하였다. 실험 1의 결과, 페달을 밟는 발 행동 반응이 발 행위 장면을 행위자의 관점에서 능동적으로 해석한 경우 다른 행위 지각 조건에 비해 빨라졌으며, 피행위자 관점에서 수동적으로 해석한 경우에는 오히려 느려졌다. 이와 유사하게, 실험 2에서는 마이크에 '합'이라는 소리를 내는 입 행동 반응이 입 행위 장면을 행위자가 상대방을 무는 행위로 능동적으로 해석한 경우 빨라졌으며, 같은 장면이라도 피행위자 관점에서 기술하였을 때는 오히려 느려졌다. 본 연구의 결과는 일상생활에서 사회적 행위를 지각하는 과정에서도 운동공명효과는 일어날 수 있다는 것과, 그러나 그 효과 또한 행위 사건을 해석하는 관점에 따라 조절될 수 있다는 점을 시사한다.

Recent developments in embodied cognition suggest that people process environmental information by using their bodily state and mental simulation. The focus of embodiment theory is that cognitive processing is based on the interaction among the body, the mind, and the world. Based on embodied theories of cognition, the authors predict that when the representation of marathon running is activated, bodily feedback such as tiredness and thirst will occur because mental simulation of marathon running contains sensorimotor representation of marathon running. As a result, it is predicted that participants primed with marathon runner will have more desire to have products that enable thirsty-quenching. Specifically, this research proposes that consumers' tendency to adopt the perspective of others influences embodied cognition, since perspective taking leads people to assimilate their own self-judgments and behaviors toward the cognitive representations of others. An experiment reveals that both perceptual and cognitive perspective taking tendencies moderate how participants respond to the contextual cues. The effect of perspective taking is moderated by whether participants are prompted to adopt a first-person view or a third-person view. In detail, among the high perspective takers, those in the marathon-first-person condition drink more the mineral water than those in the marathon-third-person condition, who in turn drink more the mineral water than those in the control condition. Among the low perceptual perspective takers, however, there are no significant differences in the amount of mineral water intake. This research delivers important insights for advertising messages. When being exposed to an advertisement, high perspective taking consumers may be more engaged in the advertised message than low perspective taking consumers, which in turn high (vs. low) perspective taking consumers' tendency to respond behaviorally consistent with the message may be higher. Based on the findings of this research, if the message induces the high perspective taking consumers to have a first- (vs. third-) person view, this effect may be stronger. Moreover, if the advertising message contains behaviors, such as using the target product, inducing consumers to mimic the behaviors seems to bring more behavioral responses which marketers intend.

Objectives: Police officers may be at a greater risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) than the general population due to their highstress occupation. This study evaluated how an educational program based on the health belief model (HBM) may protect police officers from developing CVD. Methods: In this single-group experimental study, 58 police officers in Iran participated in a 5-week intervention based on HBM principles. Outcomes included changes in scores on an HBM scale, time spent on moderate to vigorous physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire), body mass index (BMI), blood lipid profile, blood glucose, and blood pressure. The intervention consisted of 5 HBM-based educational sessions. Follow-up was conducted at 3 months post-intervention. The paired t-test was used to examine differences between baseline and follow-up scores. Results: All aspects of the HBM scale improved between baseline and follow-up (p<0.05), except the cues to action subscale. Self-efficacy and preventive behaviors improved the most. BMI decreased from 26.7±2.9 kg/㎡ at baseline to 25.8±2.4 kg/㎡ at follow-up. All components of the lipid profile, including triglycerides, cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein, showed significant improvements post-intervention. Blood glucose and blood pressure also decreased, but not significantly. Nearly 25% of participants who were not physically active at baseline increased their physical activity above or beyond the healthy threshold. Conclusions: A relatively brief educational intervention based on HBM principles led to a significant improvement in CVD risk factors among police officers. Further research is needed to corroborate the effectiveness of this intervention.

Background: Potato is the main crop of Ardabil Plain (accounting for one-fifth of potato production in Iran). Its health hazard risk to farmers is rising due to the increasing rate of pesticide use. The present study analyzes potato farmers' health hazard risk in the use of chemical pesticides. Methods: The rate of pesticide use by farmers (n = 370) was first compared with the recommended dosage (on pesticide label). Then, a composite index was employed to estimate the health hazard risk of farmers during pesticide use, and the variables accounting for pesticide overuse and nonoveruse were analyzed. Safety behavior was examined in four steps, namely of pesticide purchase and storage, preparation, application, and postapplication. Results: It was found that 74.6 percent of potato farmers used pesticides in higher concentrations than the recommended dosage. The higher average rate of pesticide use versus recommendation (label instruction) was related to Chlorpyrifos and Trifluralin, and the highest average health hazard risk among farmers was related to the use of Chlorpyrifos and Metribuzin. Farmers with a higher risk of health hazard displayed much lower safety behavior than the other farmers at all steps of pesticide use. Conclusion: The most important variables discriminating the health hazard risk of farmers' overuse included health behavior identity, attitude, knowledge and awareness, and cues to action. Therefore, using social media, holding local exhibitions, and engaging local leaders and skilled farmers in the region to improve farmers' attitudes and health behavior identity toward the dangers of chemical pesticides can play a significant role in motivating farmers' display of overuse preventive behaviors.

Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has exacerbated the rate of tuberculosis (TB) infection among close contacts of TB patients in remote regions. However, research on preventive behaviors, guided by the Health Belief Model (HBM), among household contacts of TB cases is scarce. This study aimed to employ the HBM as a framework to predict TB preventive behaviors among household contacts of TB patients in the border areas of Northern Thailand. Methods: A cross-sectional study with multi-stage random sampling was conducted in Chiang Rai Province. The study included 422 TB patients' household contacts aged 18 years or older who had available chest X-ray (CXR) results. A self-administered questionnaire was used to conduct the survey. Results: The participants' mean age was 42.93 years. Pearson correlation analysis showed that TB preventive behavior scores were significantly correlated with TB knowledge (r=0.397), perceived susceptibility (r=0.565), perceived severity (r=0.452), perceived benefits (r=0.581), self-efficacy (r=0.526), and cues to action (r=0.179). Binary logistic regression revealed that the modeled odds of having an abnormal CXR decreased by 30.0% for each 1-point score increase in preventive behavior (odds ratio, 0.70; 95% confidence interval, 0.61 to 0.79). Conclusions: HBM constructs were able to explain preventive behaviors among TB patients' household contacts. The HBM could be used in health promotion programs to improve TB preventive behaviors and avoid negative outcomes.

Objectives: The current study intended to find the awareness and compliance with the standard precautions of the laboratory technicians working in the hospitals in Gyeonggi Province. Understanding on the relationships among factors would be helpful in developing work environment of the laboratory technicians to prevent infection and improving the quality of infection control in hospitals. Methods: Data were collected from the 313 laboratory technicians in hospitals in Gyeonggi Province. SPSS 21.0. and AMOS 18 were adopted to analyze the data. Results: The results of the analysis confirmed that the influence of perceived sensitivity and cues to action influenced perceived threats of disease. Perceived threats and perceived barriers to compliance with the standard precautions and perceived benefits of compliance with the standard precautions significantly influenced the probability of compliance with the standard precautions. Conclusion: It was recommended that hospitals need to prepare plans to prevent the employees from infection in the hospitals. The plans must include education, regular exams, injury prevention, and provision of personal protective equipments.

Background: Pollinators help plants to reproduce and support economically valuable food for humans and entire ecosystems. However, declines of pollinators along with population growth and increasing agricultural activities hamper this mutual interaction. Nectar and pollen are the major reward for pollinators and flower morphology and volatiles mediate the specialized plant-pollinator interactions. Limited information is available on the volatile profiles attractive to honey bees and bumblebees. In this study we analyzed the volatile organic compounds of the flowers of 9 different plant species that are predominantly visited by honey bees and bumblebees. The chemical compositions of the volatiles were determined using a head space gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method, designed to understand the plant-pollinator chemical interaction. Results: Results showed the monoterpene 1,3,6-octatriene, 3,7-dimethyl-, (E) (E-𝞫-ocimene) was the dominating compound in most flowers analyzed, e.g., in proportion of 60.3% in Lonicera japonica, 48.8% in Diospyros lotus, 38.4% Amorpha fruticosa and 23.7% in Robinia pseudoacacia. Ailanthus altissima exhibited other monoterpenes such as 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol (𝞫-linalool) (39.1%) and (5E)-3,5-dimethylocta-1,5,7-trien-3-ol (hotrienol) (32.1%) as predominant compounds. Nitrogen containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were occurring principally in Corydalis speciosa; 1H-pyrrole, 2,3-dimethyl- (50.0%) and pyrimidine, 2-methyl- (40.2%), and in Diospyros kaki; 1-triazene, 3,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl (40.5%). Ligustrum obtusifolium flower scent contains isopropoxycarbamic acid, ethyl ester (21.1%) and n-octane (13.4%) as major compounds. In Castanea crenata the preeminent compound is 1-phenylethanone (acetophenone) (46.7%). Conclusions: Olfactory cues are important for pollinators to locate their floral resources. Based on our results we conclude monoterpenes might be used as major chemical mediators attractive to both honey bees and bumblebees to their host flowers. However, the mode of action of these chemicals and possible synergistic effects for olfaction need further investigation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for the development of a health care program to maintain and promote the health of Korean international students. Methods: Participants were 180 Korean students studying at one US state university. Data collection was conducted from January 23 to April 23, 2017. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics: t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis with the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. Results: The mean score on health beliefs was $3.49{\pm}0.39$, and the mean social support score was $2.96{\pm}0.54$. The mean health-promoting behavior score was $2.80{\pm}0.37$. Health-promoting behaviors had a statistically significant positive correlation with health beliefs and social support. Additionally, perceived health status, perceived barriers, perceived benefits, cues to action, and social support were related to health-promoting behaviors among Korean students. These five variables explained 47.6% of health-promoting behavior. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that higher health beliefs and social support of Korean international students resulted in better health-promoting behaviors. Additionally, the findings suggested that the health of Korean international students could be maintained and promoted through the development of systematic and practical programs to secure social support.

This study concerns the role of costume in Shakespearean comedy from the viewpoint of the role theory. The term “role” has been used to represent the behavior expected of the occupant of a given position or status. A specific role can not be successfully performed without the aid of the costumes. Costumes are adopted in relation with a specific role. The term ‘role’ had been borrowed from the drama. The similarity between the role on the stage and the role of the social man had been recognized. The typical examples in which the costume help to make access to a specific role and can be effectively exploited for the performance of the role are manifested in the comedies of Shakespeare. Thus, our goal in this study is to analyze the role of costume which appears in Shakespearean comedy from the viewpoint of the role theory. The role of social status and position reflects sex, age, occupation, class, economic position of the characters. In his works, the crown and the mace represented not only the throne but also a previllege and supreme position. The situation role of costume could be widely used for visualizing the psychological situation and external environments of the characters on the stage. The disguise role hided one\`s status, thereby makes possible acting other\`s position. And the disguise role can bring about the change of status, age, sex, occupation, and atmosphere. The costume also could symbolize the social status, position, rank, occupation, and the situation, and functioned as a media for delivering messages to others. The costume performed the role of the physical and psychic protection, and provided its wearer with consolation and peaceful mind. The costume reflected the costume of a society through its wearing condition and wearing configuration. The results obtained from this study can provide useful cues for understanding the role action in the social structure. This kind of understanding reveals the costume phenomena in real life, allows one to perform roles properly and efficiently, and opens our insight on the overall aspects of the costume culture.
