Objective : The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Pediatric Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Questionnaire Brain Tumor Survivor (version 2.0) Aged 13 years and older (Parent Form) (pedsFACT-BrS parent of adolescent). Methods : The pedsFACT-BrS parent of adolescent was translated and cross-culturally adapted into Korean, following standard Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) methodology. The psychometric properties of the pedsFACT-BrS parent of adolescent were evaluated in 170 brain tumor patient's mothers (mean age=43.38 years). Pretesting was performed in 30 mothers, and the results indicated good symptom coverage and overall comprehensibility. The participants also completed the Child Health Questionnaire Parent Form 50 (CHQ-PF-50), Neuroticism in Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, and Karnofsky score. Results : In validating the pedsFACT-BrS parent of adolescent, we found high internal consistency, with Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ coefficients ranging from 0.76 to 0.94. The assessment of test-retest reliability using intraclass correlation coefficient revealed satisfactory values with ICCs ranging from 0.84 to 0.93. The pedsFACT-BrS for parent of adolescent also demonstrated good convergent and divergent validities when correlated with the Child Health Questionnaire Parent Form 50 (CHQ-PF-50) and the Neuroticism in Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. The pedsFACT-BrS parent of adolescent showed good clinical validity, and effectively differentiated between clinically distinct patient groups according to the type of treatment, tumor location, shunt, and Karnofsky score of parent proxy report. Conclusion : We confirmed that this reliable and valid instrument can be used to properly evaluate the quality of life of Korean adolescent brain tumor patients by their parents' proxy report.

본 연구의 목적은 데이트 폭력 피해여성, 특히 공격적 피해여성의 분노와 분노표현, 정신병적 경향성과 중독성, 그리고 대처방식을 탐구하여 피해여성의 재활을 돕는데 필요한 정보를 제공하는 것이다. 연구의 참여자는 데이트 경험이 있는 477명의 여대생이고, 그들의 연령 분포는 17세에서 29세(M=20.59, SD=1.44) 사이였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 심리검사는 Straus의 갈등책략척도, Spielberger의 상태-특성 분노 표현 척도, Eysenck 성격검사 및 다차원 대처척도이다. 분석 결과, 공격적 피해자보다 순수 피해자가 더 심각한 수준으로 데이트 폭력을 당한 것으로 나타났으며 성폭력을 당한 비율도 높았다. 데이트 폭력 미경험자나 순수 피해자보다 공격적 피해자의 특성분노와 분노표출 수준이 높았으며 분노통제 수준은 낮았다. 공격적 피해자는 정신병적 경향성과 중독성도 강했다. 한편 공격적 피해자는 적극적으로 대처하지 않고 문제를 잊어버리고 체념하려는 경향이 있었으며 타인과 긍정적으로 비교하며 위로를 받으려고 하였다. 반면에 데이트 폭력 순수 피해자는 자기비판을 많이 하고 종교적 추구 성향이 강했다. 연구자는 이런 결과를 선행연구와 비교하며 논의하였다.

The aim of this study was to investigate QoL (quality of life) of patients with esophageal cancer in northern Henan province, China, and to accurate evaluate and reflect the relationship between patient characteristics and QoL. In the high risk area of esophageal cancer in the north of Henan province, 735 patients with esophageal cancer were investigated. The Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ) and QoL were analyzed by using the questionnaire of general situation, EPQ, QLQ-C30 and QLQ-OES18. The effects of personal character on the QoL of esophageal carcinoma patients were analyzed by SPSS 11.0 software. The QoL of esophageal cancer patients in Northern Henan region was significantly affected by character. The difference between choleric and type of melancholic temperament types was significant (P<0.01), also in OESEAT, OESTA, OESCO and OESSP (P<0.05). Differences in personal character can thus influence the quality of esophageal cancer patient lives.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of young children's temperament, emotional intelligence, social behavior and mother's personality traits, and management strategy of peer relations on peer acceptance. Subjects were 412 5-years-old children and their mothers in Busan. The children responded to the Peer Nomination Inventory to assess peer acceptance and their teachers completed the EAS(Emotionality, Activity, Sociability), to assess the emotional intelligence and social behavior of the children. Mothers completed Eysenck Personality Questionnaire for personality traits and the Parental Involvement Checklist. Data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and simple and multiple regression analyses. The results showed that emotional intelligence of young children had a relatively significant effect on peer acceptance, followed by personality traits of mother's extraversion, the temperament of activity, and the management strategy of mediation-supervision. In conclusion, young children and their mother's variables have a complex, rather than simple, effect on peer acceptance of the children.

본 연구는 특성(trait) 이론에 기반한 Eysenck의 EPQ-R 설문지와 EEG 변수들간의 상관 관계에 대한 실험적 연구로서, 피험자들은 한국판 EPQ-R 설문지를 작성하였고, 2회에 걸쳐 눈을 감은 조건, 눈을 뜬 조건, 암산과제 수행조건에서 EEG를 측정하였다. Neuroticism 은 눈을 뜬 조건에서 theta 파와 부적 상관을 보였으며, Psychoticism 은 눈을 감은 조건에서 alpha파와 정적상관, delta파와 부적 상관을 보였는데, 이것은 Robinson(2001)의 이론과 일치하는 결과이다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to study the personality traits and cognitive characteristics of the Sasang constitution by comparing the Personality Test and Neuropsychological Test. Methods: A total of 121 subjects were analyzed with the results of a Two Step Questionnaire for the Sasang Constitution Diagnosis (TS-QSCD). Among them, the Personality Tests (SPQ, EPQ, TCI) and the Neuropsychological Tests (A-VLT, CPM, Stroop-CWIT, WCST) were processed and analyzed for Soyangin, Taeeumin, Soeumin. Results: 1. In the results of the SPQ, the Soyangin showed a significantly higher score than did the Taeeumin and Soeumin in Behavior, Emotionality, Cognition, as well as the Total Score. The SPQ-C score and SPQ-T were significantly higher for Soyangin, Soeumin and Taeeumin, in that order. 2. In the results of the EPQ, the Soyangin showed a significantly higher score than did the Taeeumin and Soeumin in Extraversion - introversion. Soeumin showed a significantly higher score than did the Soyangin and Taeeumin in Neuroticism. Soyangin also showed a significantly higher score than Taeeumin in Venturesomeness. 3. For the results of the TCI, the Soyangin showed a significantly lower score than did Taeeumin and Soeumin in Harm-Avoidance, but a significantly higher score in Persistence and Self-Directedness. Soyangin and Taeeumin showed a significantly higher score than did Soeumin for the total score of Self-Directedness+Cooperativeness. 4. The results of the Computerized Neuropsychological Tests (A-VLT, CPM, Stroop-CWIT, WCST) showed no significant differences between the Sasang constitution. Conclusions: The EPQ, TCI score showed significant differences between the Sasang constitution. But the Computerized Neuropsychological Tests developed to evaluate cognitive abilities did not show differences between the constitutional individuals and showed limitations as a research tool. Further studies are needed to devise a research method for ascertaining the cognitive behavioral characteristics of the Sasang constitution.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between neuroticism, pain catastrophizing, and experimentally induced pain threshold and pain tolerance in a healthy adult sample from two regions of the country of Croatia: the island of Korcula and city of Split. Methods: A total of 1,322 participants were enrolled from the Island of Korcula (n = 824) and the city of Split (n = 498). Participants completed a self-reported personality measure Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and pain catastrophizing questionnaire Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), followed by a mechanical pain pressure threshold and tolerance test. We have explored the mediating role of catastrophizing in the relationship between neuroticism and pain intensity. Results: The results showed that pain catastrophizing partially mediated the relationship between neuroticism and pain intensity, suggesting the importance of pain catastrophizing in increasing vulnerability to pain. The results also indicated gender-related differences, marked by the higher pain threshold and tolerance in men. Conclusions: This study adds to the understanding of the complex interplay between personality and pain, by providing a better understanding of such mechanisms in healthy adults.

1989년 1월부터 1992년 12월까지 영남대학교 외과대학 부속병원 정신과에 입원한 만성 정신분열증 71명, 급성 정신분열증 59명 그리고 정상집단 87명을 대상으로 하여 아이젱크 성격차원 검사중에서 정신병적 경향성을 중심으로 연구한 결과는 다음과 같다. 정신분열증 환자에서 만성 정신분열증 집단과 급성 정신분열증 집단간에는 차이를 보이지 않았으나 정상집단과 정신분열증 집단간에는 정신분열증 집단에서 정신병적 경향성이 정상집단보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 아이젱크 성격차원 검사를 사용하여 정상집단과 정신분열증 집단간에 판별분석을 한 결과 정신분열증 집단과 정상집단을 판별하는데에 정신병적 경향성 차원이 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 종래의 성격검사와 같이 단순한 성격특질을 측정하는 것이 아닌 성격차원을 측정하는 검사인 아이젱크 성격차원 검사중 정신병적 경향성은 정신분열증을 진단, 분류하는데 유용한 것으로 시사된다.
