The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effects of mother-adolescent communication time on the relationship between maternal meta-emotion philosophy, adolescent psychological adjustment and depression. The participants for this study comprised 181 first and second grade high school students and their mothers, residing in Seoul. The results of the analyses indicated that, (a) maternal disapproving is negatively correlated to adolescents' positive world views, and that maternal laissez-faire is also negatively correlated to adolescents' emotional responsiveness. However, a positive correlation is revealed between maternal emotion-coaching and adolescents' positive self-esteem. (b) It is evident that adolescents' emotional responsiveness is influenced by maternal laissez-faire, and that adolescents' positive self-esteem is influenced by emotion-coaching. It also indicated that mother-adolescent communication time is influenced by dismissing as well as laissez-faire meta-emotion philosophy. (c) It revealed that mother-adolescent communication time, in part, has a meaningful moderating effect on the relationship between meta-emotion philosophy and adolescent depression. Therefore, the present study indicates that even if maternal disapproving, laissez-faire, or dismissing is practiced, adolescent depression levels decrease as mother-adolescent time lengthens.

Along with language, emotion is an effective means of expression. By expressing our emotions as well as speaking language, we can deliver our message better. Because each person expresses the same emotion differently, this expression is a useful gauge to measure an individual personality. To avoid monotonous emotional expression from virtual characters, therefore, it is necessary to adjust the creation and deletion of the same emotion depending on each character's personality. This paper has attempted to define personality characteristics that have an impact on each emotion and propose a method to adjust the emotions. Furthermore, the relationship between particular emotion and personality characteristics has been defined by matching the significance of specified personality characteristics with the lexical meaning. In addition, using the Raw Score, the weighted value which is necessary for the adjustment, continuance and deletion of each emotion has been defined. Then, emotion was properly adjusted. When the same emotion was adjusted using actual personality test data, different results have been observed by personality. This paper has been conducted using NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI) which consisted of 5 broad domains and 30 sub domains.

The 305 fathers and mothers of 4- to 5-year-old children and their teachers participating in this study responded to three kinds of questionnaires. Findings were that (1) fathers reported greater control of their sons' negative expressiveness; mothers reported greater control of their sons' positive expressiveness. Mothers perceived daughters more likely to regulate their emotions than their sons and teachers perceived girls more likely to be well-adjusted interpersonally than boys. (2) Fathers who reported higher control of their sons' negative expressiveness had sons with higher popularity/leadership; mothers who reported higher control of sons' negative expressiveness had sons with lower interpersonal adjustment. (3) Boys with higher emotion regulation showed higher interpersonal adjustment and popularity/leadership. (4) Mothers' control of boys' negative expressiveness influenced boys' interpersonal adjustment, and boys' emotion regulation and fathers' control of boys' negative expressiveness influenced boys' popularity/leadership.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify influence of emotional awareness, ambivalence over emotional expressiveness and emotional regulation style on nursing student adjustment. Method: One hundred and sixty nine nursing students completed the questionnaires from May to June, 2013. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression with SAS v 9.3. Results: Ambivalence over positive emotional expressiveness, motivation of application for nursing-aptitude, emotional awareness-mood labeling, avoidant/distractive style of emotion regulation, and parents-both alive were identified as factors influencing nursing student adjustment. The model explained 37% of variance in nursing student adjustment. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that programs for promoting mood labeling and reducing ambivalence over positive emotional expressiveness and avoidant/distractive style of emotion regulation are important for college adjustment in nursing students. In addition, aptitude test for nursing applicants can be considered.

Objective: The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between personality and psychological responses induced by emotional stimuli (happiness, sadness, anger, boring and stress) for children. Background: Many researches are interested in assertion that there is close correlation between personality and emotion. The relationship between personality and emotion needs to be studied in view of the extended integration, not in view of respective property, because personality is deeply ingrained, and the relatively enduring patterns of thought, feeling and behavior and emotion can take advantage of individual differences in sensitivities to situational cues and predispositions to emotional state. In particular, studies on the personality and emotion for children are necessary in that childhood is an important period for formation of their personality and emotion expression and regulation. Method: Prior to the experiment, we made parents of 94 children rate personalities of their children, based on Korean Personality Inventory for Children (K-PIC). Results of 64 children without missing answers to all questions were analyzed. 64 children were exposed to five emotional stimuli and were asked to report the classification and intensity of their experienced emotion. Results: Children were classified into two groups of the lower 25% and higher 25% scores in twenty sub-scales of K-PIC, and psychological responses to five emotional stimuli between two groups were compared. Accuracy of emotion experienced by emotional stimuli showed a significant difference between the two groups, the lower and higher scores in Hyperactivity and Adjustment. Also, there was a significant difference in the intensity of experienced emotions between the two groups in Intellectual Screening and Psychosis. Conclusion: Our result has shown that hyperactivity, adjustment, intellectual screening and psychosis influence the accuracy and intensity of emotional responses. Application: This study can offer a guideline to overcome methodological limitation of emotion studies for children and help researcher basically understand and recognize human emotion in HCI.

The survey was conducted from June 21 to 30, 2021 for 190 health students in G and J area. The data were analyzed by frequency analysis, reliability analysis, simple correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that positive perception had positive correlation with negative perception(r=-.286,p<.01), emotional regulation (r=.296,p<.01), and university life adjustment(r=.520,p<.01). Negative perception was correlated with emotional regulation(r=-.619,p<.01), university life adjustment (r=-.428,p<.01) and negative(-). Emotional regulation had a positive correlation with university life adjustment(r=.341,p<.01). Positive perception, negative perception, and emotional regulation, which are sub-factors of perceived stress, were the factors affecting the adjustment to university life, and the explanatory power was 84%. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a program that can improve the adjustment of college students in health.
