We propose an emotional training framework that can determine the initial symptom of schizophrenia by using emotional analysis method through facial expression change. We use Emotion API in Microsoft to obtain facial expressions and emotion values at the present time. We analyzed these values and recognized subtle facial expressions that change with time. The emotion states were classified according to the peak analysis-based variance method in order to measure the emotions appearing in facial expressions according to time. The proposed method analyzes the lack of emotional recognition and expressive ability by using characteristics that are different from the emotional state changes classified according to the six basic emotions proposed by Ekman. As a result, the analyzed values are integrated into the image color transfer framework so that users can easily recognize and train their own emotional changes.

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of elderly people's difficulties in emotional regulation on their quality of life and to suggest possible ways of improving their emotional regulation. The subjects in this study were 345 senior citizens who participated in community education programs and used senior centers. A survey was conducted in person, and the instrument used to check their difficulties in emotional regulation was Gratz & Roemer(2004)'s inventory that was rearranged to serve the purpose of this study. When a factor analysis was carried out, their emotional regulation difficulties were categorized into five factors, which were respectively named troubles in emotional response handling, difficulties in accurate emotional awareness, difficulties in emotional coping, and difficulties in emotional reception. The findings of the study were as follows: First, the senior citizens were different from one another in emotional regulation difficulties according to their personal characteristics involving gender, income, financial state, hospitalization experience over the past three months, and presence or absence of disease. Second, their quality of life significantly varied with gender, age, presence or absence of spouse, form of residence, education, income, financial state, hospitalization experience and presence or absence of disease. Third, as a result of investigating the influence of their emotional regulation difficulties on the overall quality of life, a better quality of life was found among those who were male and who had an income and suffered from fewer diseases. And a lower quality of life was found among the senior citizens who faced difficulties in emotional response handling, who had difficulties in emotional control and who lagged behind in terms of emotional coping. Accordingly, the emotional regulation difficulties of the senior citizens could be said to be closely linked to their quality of life. Given the findings of the study, in which way elderly people could be helped to improve their emotional regulation in consideration of their own personal characteristics was discussed, and how to classify their emotional regulation difficulties from various angles to relieve them of the troubles was suggested.

The purpose of this study is to verify the self-respect moderating effect on adolescents with emotional problems because of neglect and abusive experiences. The results are as follows: First, the level of abusive experiences was higher than that of neglect in adolescents. General characteristics including genders and individual family situations were found to be the influences causing emotional problems in adolescents. Second, adolescents with high levels of neglect and abuse experienced high levels of depression, social anxiety, aggression and physical symptoms. Third, even though self-respect did not have a strong moderating effect on the emotional problems of adolescents who suffered neglect and abuse, there was a difference between the abuse experience and the emotional problem in the inclination test results for the high and low group based on the average of the self-respect of the respondents. The results of this study suggest that the need for a stronger variable to reduce the negative emotional state among adolescents experiencing neglect and abuse is related to emotional problems.

Recently, social welfare officers are suffering from a lot of job stress due to increasing work and are carrying out emotional labor. This study assessed the effect of emotional labor on the quality of welfare service through a questionnaire survey on 937 civil servants in Sejong city and Chungcheongnam-do provinces. First, social welfare officers experienced more than average level of emotional labor, and they performed more internal behavior than surface behavior. Second, the services provided by the social welfare officers were higher than usual, followed by tangibility, assurance, reliability, empathy, and responsiveness. Third, deeping acting had a positive (+) influence on service quality among the sub-factors of emotional labor. In other words, the quality of service increases as the emotional state itself changes, On the other hand, deeping acting did not affect service quality. In the future, policy responses to excessive work burden of social welfare officers should be needed and a manual for responding to emotional labor should be provided.

The prevalence of stress and depression among emotional workers is increasing due to the rapid increase in emotional labor and service workers. However, the current mental health management of emotional workers is difficult to consider the emotional response at the time of stress situations, and the existing mental health management is limited because the individual's base state is not reflected. In this study, we present mental healthcare digital twin solution technology, a personalized stress risk management solution. For mental health risk management due to emotional labor, a solution simulation is performed to accurately predict stress risk through synchronization/modeling of dynamic objects in virtual space by extracting individual stress risk factors such as emotional/physical response and environment into various modalities. It provides a mental healthcare digital twin solution for predicting personalized mental health risks that can be configured with modalities and objects tailored to the environment of emotional workers and improved according to user feedback.

The subjects of this were 200 persons with cancer (100- in patients and 100- out patients), both male and female, between 30 and 59 years of age. Data were obtained using a convenience sample technique from two university hospitals in seoul from August, 1989, to June, 1990. The instruments used for this study were the Quality of life scale developed by Ro, You - Ja and the Health Locus of Control scale developed by Wallston & Wallston. Data were analyzed using a SAS program for ANOVA, t-test, Schefffe test, Pearson Correlation Coefficients and Stepwise multiple regression. The results were as follows : 1. The scores on the quality of life scale ranged from 95 to 191 with as mean of 147.85(range 47 to 235). The Mean scores(range 1-5) on the different dimensions were family relationships 3.50, relationships with neighbours 3.48, self - esteem 3.17, physical state and function 2.99, economic life 2.93 and emotional life 2.91. 2. Significantly higher scores on the quality of life and demographic characteristics were as follows : the quality of life for women(t＝2.80, p＝ .006), for those without complications(t＝2.54, p＝ .013), and for those who perceived their illness as mild(F＝4.85, p＝ .009). Higher scores on quality of life were correlated with the following : 1) emotional state and the age group 50-59(F＝3.43, p＝ .34). 2) economic life and higher income(F＝6.72, p＝ .002), those without complications(t＝2.68, p＝ .00), and those who perceived their illness as mild(F＝3.11, p＝ .05). 3) self-esteem and marriage(F＝3.64, p＝.028), those without complications(t＝2.18, p＝.03), and those who perceived their illness as mild(F＝7.72, p＝.000). 4) physical state and funciton and the age group 30-39(F＝4.65, p＝.010), those without complications (t＝2.00, p＝.05), and those who perceived their illness as mild(F＝3.38, p＝.04). 5) family relationship and those who live with their spouse(t＝2.82, p＝.005). 3. There was a significant positive correlation between the subjects perceptions of their current state of health and the quality of life score(r＝.4364, p＝.0001). 4. There was no relationship between Locus of control and quality of life in this sample. 5. Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that: 1) the perception of current health status was the main predictor and accounted for 20.11% of the total variance. 2) sex and educational level accounted for an additional 21.71% of the total variance. 6. The quality of life and the perception of their current health status of these patients with cancer were generally lower than those of healthy adults as noted in previous studies. In conclusion, the quality of life for these cancer patients was generally low especially in regard to their emotional state. The current perceived state of health, sex, complications and perceived degree of illness were important variables relatiog to quality of life.

This study was conducted to compare the emotional state between the mothers with low-birth-weights and mothers with normal infants, and to analyze the effects of home visiting for the low-birth-weights in one city. Data were collected from 51 mothers with low-birth-weights and 90 mothers with normal infants to compare emotional state, and from 26 mothers with low-birth weights to evaluate the effect of home visiting care. Summaries of results were as follows; 1. In mothers with low-birth-weights, social support form others was significantly lower than those of mothers with normal infants. Although the differences were not significant, mothers with low-birth-weights have more stress and child rearing burden, and less maternal self-esteem than those of mothers with normal infants. 2. Mothers with low-birth-weights, the more burden, postpartum depression, and the less husbands' support they felt. When they had lower maternal self-esteem and lower husbands' support, child rearing burden was higher. Also there was significant negative correlation between maternal self-esteem and postpartum depression. 3. In mothers with low-birth-weights, the score of post-intervention stress, care-giving burden, and postpartum depression were somewhat decreased, and maternal self-esteem was increased than pre-intervention data, although they were not statistically significant. 4. Mothers' satisfaction on the home-visiting care was considered to be high. In summary, mothers with low-birth-weights had lower social support even though they experienced more stress than mothers with normal infants. Therefore, public health nurse in community should pay more attention to them.

A clinic study was carried out on 83 neuropsychiatric outpatients who visited 'Hwabyung Clinic' in Oriental Hospital of Kyung Hee University from July 1 in 1996, in order to study clinical research and the aspect of 'Hwa'. 1. Onset of stress that causes of Hwabyung was 14.23 years ago and onset of symptoms were 6.39 years ago. Hwabyung patients were maintaining their marital state and were under the same stress that was thought to be the chief causes of the Hwabyung..3. Familiar troubles including their spouse were the main cause of the Hwabyung, which suggested that prolonged trobles were more important rather than sudden emotional shock, and it was obvious that the patients were recognizing the predisposing factors of Hwabyung.5. The emotional state which led to Hwabyung and the present state caused by Heabyung were complicated very much. Feeling being mortified, anger and resentment were gradually changed into anxiety, irritability, depression and loss of interest.6. The somatic symptoms of Hwabyung were flushing, insomnia, hradache, dizziness, and oppressed.7. The feeling of flushing were whole body, front of the body and upper of the body.
