본 연구는 한국 서해안 무인도에서 번식하는 노랑부리백로의 주요 번식지에서 번식지 환경에 따른 둥지 특성의 차이점을 파악하고 비교 분석하여, 향후 이들의 자연번식지에 둥지 터 조성 및 관리방안을 마련하는 데 필요한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 수행되었다. 연구는 2013년 6월과 7월에 번식지환경이 서로 유사한 서만도(11개 둥지)와 황서도(14개 둥지), 목도(10개 둥지)와 납대기섬(15개 둥지)의 4개 섬에서, 산란된 알이 있는 총 50개의 둥지를 대상으로 하였다. 연구결과 4개 번식 집단의 둥지 특성은 황서도의 은폐도가 가장 높았고, 둥지 높이는 목도가 가장 높았으며, 재사용 기간은 납대기섬, 둥지 깊이는 목도가 가장 깊었다. 유사한 번식환경인 이대 군락에서 번식하는 목도와 납대기섬의 두 번식 집단 간의 둥지 특성은 높이와 재사용 기간의 2개 항목에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 또한 찔레꽃 군락에서 번식하는 서만도와 황서도의 두 번식 집단 간의 둥지 특성은 재사용 기간, 둥지 깊이의 2개 항목에서 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. 이대 군락에서 번식하는 집단(목도, 납대기섬)과 찔레꽃 군락에서 번식하는 집단(서만도, 황서도) 간의 둥지 특성을 분석한 결과 은폐도, 둥지 단경, 둥지 깊이의 3개 항목에서 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. 결과적으로 한국에서 번식하는 노랑부리백로의 경우 유사한 번식지 환경에서도 일부 둥지 특성에서 차이가 나타났으며, 이대 군락과 찔레꽃 군락의 서로 다른 번식지 환경에서는 은폐도, 둥지 단경, 둥지 깊이의 3개 항목에서 차이가 나타났다. 따라서 향후 노랑부리백로의 자연번식지에 둥지 터를 조성하거나 번식지 관리방안 수립 시 은폐도, 둥지 터 식물의 수종 등을 고려하여 조성하는 방안이 필요하였다.

This study determined the influence of personality patterns on marital adjustments mediated by communication effectiveness for 298 international marriages in South Korea. The results are as follows: (a) The mediator effects of personality patterns and communication effectiveness on the marital adjustment of international marriages were found to be significant; in addition, a mediator path with marital adjustment as a dependent variable was verified. (b) The extroversion, agreeableness, and openness of husbands were found to have a positive effect on their communication and marital adjustment in regards to the personality patterns of international. (c) Conscientiousness was identified as the only factor that affects the marital adjustment of a wife in regards to personality patterns. The implications of this study will be discussed in the conclusion part.

This study proposes design factors for Korean style ecological apartment for application in Cheongju. Library and internal surveys were performed to summarize the concept of locality in housing and to determine the present condition of apartment estates which were introduced with design factors according to locality, traditionalism, or ecology, fold surveys were carried out at 10 apartment estates to investigate the present condition of management and residents's un. The interviewees were concierges and representative residents. The following design factors for Korean style ecological apartment to be applied in Cheongju were proposed; layout and building shape according to climate as natural environment, landscape factors according to cultural assets as human environment, adolescent spaces according to population as social environment, road plan according to 'Cheongju Garosu-Gil' civil environment.

Jeon and Buss (2007) found that human altruistic tendencies towards different categories of cousins are adaptively regulated as a consequence of paternity uncertainty. Since the study sample was drawn from a large US city where the effects of patrilineality may be week, the question of whether descent systems also independently affect cousin-directed altruism remained unanswered. We replicated the cousin-directed altruism study in a population of urban Korean college students, who have lived in a highly patrilineal society. As predicted, mother's sister's children were favored the most, followed by both mother's brother's and father's sister's children. Contrary to our predictions, however, father's brother's children was more, not less, favored than either mother's brother's or father's sister's children. We discuss why this cross-cultural difference may be observed with regard to the highly patrilineal culture in Korea.

This study aims to analyse the landscape ecological characteristics of 39 rural villages in Korea and classify them according to their characteristics. After producing a land-use map of rural villages, this study quantified the landscape ecological characteristics of the subject sites as 18 landscape indexes using Fragstats. By applying the landscape index as a variable, selecting 4 factor through principal component analysis and conducting a cluster analysis, it classified them into 3 groups. Rural villages of Korea have their unique types of land-use due to the influence of physical environment such as geography, climate and ecology as well as the social and cultural influence, and the characteristics of land-use can be analysed and classified using the landscape index, the quantified landscape ecological characteristics.

Ryff's(1989) psychological well-being measure is used to assess and sometimes compare Korean and American adults, however, there is no information regarding whether its dimensions are psychometrically invariant across, whether its items provide sufficient information for, and whether each item measures identical trait levels in, the two nations. Confirmatory factor analysis on response 1,696 Korean and 3,669 American adults, gave to the measure revealed lack of fit and absence of factorial invariance across the two nations. Item response theory revealed significant variance for items on each factor across two countries that most items yielded limited psychometric information. And that each item measure different trait levels, suggesting that in its present form, the measure might lead to misleading results for, and across the two nations.

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in the decision making styles of Korean and American consumers. Focus group interviews were used as the median to collect information related to their methods of approach to a market to buy a universal need such as clothing for personal use. Findings suggest that within each construct, there may be different factors that should be used to measure the decision making styles of Korean and American consumers. It also implies that the previously established Consumer Decision making styles instrument may not be a reliable measure cross-culturally. Recommendations for future research are suggested.

The ability to customize garments for fit in the apparel industry is directly tied to the availability of comprehensive and accurate sets of anthropometrical data for each consumer. The data for apparel sizing systems is available from three major standard/ research organizations: ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), ISO (International Standard Organization), and NCHS (National Center for Health Statistics). However, these standards ignore various head shapes and are outdated for the development future head products. This creates a data gap an ever changing multi-cultural society such as the United Sates. Although major government and industry safety organizations recognize the importance of safety for head products, few studies were found to support their reasoning. The purpose of this study is to provide accurate head dimension data for developing safety head products by analyzing various head shapes in the United Sates which includes various ethnic backgrounds. This study was carried out on 105 males in the United States. Factor analysis, cluster analysis, Moreover, Duncan analysis were all used for analyzing various head shapes.

This article focused on the environmental changes on atolls in Micronesia. First, we considered the problem. Second, we designed research that focused on the impacts of environmental changes especially in relation to globalization and global warming in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). The results were in accordance to the hypotheses that globalization had impacted prominently in communities on main islands and impact was lessened with increased distance from the centre. The fact that the islands are remotely situated and thus, in theory, do not have much outside influence, has not alleviated them from having societal concerns. The earth's environmental change is causing an impact on the main islands as well. This has been governed by distinctive characteristics in their geographical, regional, and contents. Moreover, they showed stronger concerns about impacts on the environment than globalization. A set of questionnaires was used as the principal assessment method to quantify the concerns relating to the environmental changes.
