The fact that these are characterized by subjectiveness makes this study have a purpose of trying to enhance the intersubjectiveness by means of quantitive analysis to find the factors on the QOL. This study uses statistical methods such as multiple regression and factor analysis based on the secondary data from the "2011 Seoul Survey". The survey includes many items, for example happiness index and satisfaction for work, amenity, etc.. And the analysis tells three findings as follows; Firstly, five subcategories of happiness have relative importance in the order of (1)financial condition, (2)health, (3)social activities, (4)community relationship and (5)family life. These generally constitute the first factor extracted by factor analysis and named 'abundance-family-intimacy factor.' Secondly, the 'abundance-family-intimacy factor' and the 'information-danger factor' among five factors(the others are 'learning-giving factor', 'local patriotism-hope for rise factor' and 'amenity-comfort factor') have statistically significant effect to QOL. Thirdly, the first factor has positive effect, but the second has negative to QOL. Note is needed to the fact that the items on SNS and internet belong to second factor and to the result that these make QOL deteriorate. These results should be considered as having limited meaning of statistical aspect. But accumulation of following studies by quantitive approach is anticipate to make more practical and general meaning.

This study examined the effects of interpersonal relationship harmony and stress coping on the college adjustment among nursing students. The participants were 231. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. Adjustment to college life significantly correlated with interpersonal relationship harmony and stress coping style. Interpersonal relationship harmony was significantly different according to year, satisfaction with nursing as a major, and academic achievement. Multiple regression analysis showed that interpersonal relationship harmony and stress coping(problem-focused, emotion-focused, hopeful thought) explained 23% of variance in adjustment to college life.

This study aims to empirically structure the patterns of consumption and their effects on depression among the employed baby-boomers who were born in 1955 to in 1963. We used the 5th wave of Korea Retirement and Income Study(KReIS) in 2013 (n=2,585). The Latent Profile Analysis(LPA) estimated the empirical patterns of consumption and then a multiple regression analyzed the effect of consumption patterns on depression. The LPA results showed that the consumption patterns consist of four groups: Basic life-oriented class, Social life-oriented class, Home-based lifestyle class, and Advanced consumption-oriented class. The working baby boomers' depression was associated with their consumption patterns. Specifically, the social life-oriented class showed significantly lower depression than the basic life-oriented class and advanced consumption-oriented class. Other associates with higher levels of depression were found as lower education, having no spouse, lower self-rated health, higher levels of physical limitation, having a diagnosed disability, lower satisfaction with leisure activities, lower income, and lower subjective economic status in this study. Based on the results of this study, we propose the need for specialized financial intervention better for baby-boomers' retirement preparation in Korea.

Nowadays, 'Interaction' is discussed not only in the multimedia field but also as a topic of daily life at the various viewpoints. And as the permmited limit of Interaction by Mutimedia Technology and audiovisual function is getting more activated, It is the time for us to have new understanding of a 'POSTER'. The Poster, as a one-sided information transmission media till now, is faced with its limitation in transmitting messages due to its unconformity between satisfaction of receiver' sdesire for information and installation space. This fact speaks for need of study about Digital Poster as an alternative communication method, and activation of Digital Poster Design Field. Therefore, I would like to present Design process and Examples by using Digital Poster for Maximizing the Communication Effect.

This study aims to explore the status and motives for using avatars and digital fashion items in the metaverse and to examine consumers' purchase satisfaction and future purchase intentions. We intend to provide implications for the development of avatars and fashion items, and the direction of the fashion industry and clothing education. For this purpose, the purchasing status, consumer motives for using avatars and digital fashion items, purchase satisfaction, and future purchase intentions were investigated, through a survey with 149 consumers aged 19 years or older, with the experience of using avatars. The results are as follows. First, the percentage of avatar ownership was high among women aged between 19 and 29, and those with low or high incomes. The younger group was more likely to make mobile phone purchases than the older group, and the older group was more likely to use credit cards. Even those respondents who owned avatars did not purchase frequently or spent a lot on items. On the other hand, in the case of fashion item purchases, the group spending more than 8,000 won was aged between 19 and 29, and the frequency and amount of purchases increased as income increase. Second, among the motives for using avatars and fashion items, the pursuit of pleasure had the greatest influence, and men paid more attention to self-expression through avatars than women. Third, the motive for vicarious satisfaction influenced purchase satisfaction, and the factors that influenced future purchase intention were vicarious satisfaction and stress relief. The results of this study suggests that avatars and fashion items should be developed considering factors that can relieve stress for all age groups, create a sense of unity among metaverse users, and provide satisfaction in a virtual world that is different from reality. In addition, education on how to use fashion items and consumption attitudes in education related to clothing life will be required.
