The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between emotional competence and social anxiety among Korean children and adolescents. The subjects of this study were 385 children between fifth and sixth grade ages and 579 middle school students. Their emotional competence was assessed by 'Korean Emotional Competence scale (Kim et al., 2004),' and also their social adjustment was assessed by 'Social Anxiety Scale (Moon & Oh, 2002).' The data were analyzed by ANOVA, the Pearson's correlation, and regression, using SPSS. The results of this study are as follows: (1) Children's and adolescents' emotional competence and social anxiety were relatively high. (2) Their emotional competence had a meaningful difference according to SES, gender, and birth order. (3) Their social anxiety had a meaningful difference according to SES, gender, and birth order. (4) There was a significant relationship between their emotional competence and social anxiety. (5) A regression analysis result of children's and adolescents' social anxiety showed that approximately 11.3% variance could be explained by four emotional competence variables: 'self-expressiveness and assertion,' 'awareness and understanding of emotion,' 'positive acceptance,' and 'collective consciousness.'

This study investigated the effects of depression, anxiety, and impulsiveness on suicidal thoughts among adolescents with the goal of better understanding the psychological needs of adolescents and to provide them with more effective counseling and guidance. Participants for this study included 340 high school students in their first and second year living in large urban centers. Respondents answered a questionnaire that documented their experiences related to depression, anxiety, impulsiveness, and suicidal thoughts. Data analysis was performed using the means, standard deviations, correlation analysis, and multiple regression using the IBM SPSS 19.0 statistics program. The results were as follows. There was no statistically significant difference in anxiety and impulsiveness based on gender. However, female respondents demonstrated a higher rate of suicidal thoughts than male respondents. Second, in both sexes, comparative analysis between depression, anxiety, impulsiveness, and suicidal thoughts revealed that respondents with higher levels of depression and anxiety demonstrated elevated levels of suicidal thoughts. Impulsiveness demonstrated a correlation with suicidal thoughts only for female participants. Third, while depression and anxiety affected suicidal thoughts in both male and female respondents, impulsiveness did not affect suicidal thoughts, with depression having the strongest effect.

The purpose of this study is to identify the influence of ego integrity on death anxiety of the elderly, mediated by depression based on Erikson theory(1963). For this study, 313 elderly over 60 years old in Daegu city participated in a survey. The data of the survey was analyzed using SPSS 15.0 and Structural Equation Modeling(SEM) with AMOS 7.0. The results of the study are as follows: ego integrity of the elderly does not influence death anxiety due to the suppressing effect of depression. However, depression does mediate the relation between ego integrity and death anxiety fully. Such findings suggest that the Erikson theory can also be applied to elderly Korean citizens. A practical benefit derived from the study's results is the proposition to implement a reminiscence program, reinforce depression treatment and prevention systems, and augment a death awareness movement for elderly.

기존 연구는 컴퓨터가 사람의 감성을 파악하고 반응하는 점에 관심을 두어 왔다. 하지만 사용자가 애플리케이션을 대상으로 갖는 감정이입에 대한 역할을 구체적으로 다루고 있진 못한다. 스마트워크가 활성화되지 못하는 이유 중 하나가 중간관리자의 정보통신기술 사용에 대한 두려움이라는 점을 고려할 때, 새로운 애플리케이션에 대한 불안감을 줄이고 지속적으로 사용할 수 있는 동인이 무엇인지를 밝히는 연구는 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 애플리케이션에 대한 불안감을 줄이고, 지속적인 사용을 증대시키는 요인으로 감정이입의 역할에 대해 탐색적으로 살펴보았다. 설문조사로 수집된 자료를 바탕으로 통계 분석을 한 결과를 통해 애플리케이션에 대한 감정이입이 애플리케이션 사용 대한 불안감을 줄이며, 동시에 애플리케이션 감정이입이 매개변수인 정서적 인지적 태도를 거쳐 해당 애플리케이션 대한 지속적 사용의도를 강화한다는 점을 실증하였다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Depression and anxiety are common mental health problems. Anthocyanins from berries might have an inhibitory effect on monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes and alleviate various mood and anxiety symptoms. This study examined the effects of a daily supplement of an anthocyanin-rich product on mental health problems. SUBJECTS/METHODS: This study was a secondary analysis from a randomized, 6-week, open-label trial in 300 healthy participants aged 18-60 years who consumed 1 or 2 servings of anthocyanin-rich mulberry milk daily. The General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used to monitor mental health problems. In addition, the saliva activity levels of MAO-A, MAO-B, and cortisol were examined at the baseline and after 6 weeks. RESULTS: The total scores of the GHQ-28 and HADS and all their subscales decreased in both groups (all P < 0.05). The cortisol, MAO-A, and MAO-B activities decreased significantly (all P < 0.05), but there were no significant differences between the groups (all P > 0.05). Significant correlations were noted between the decreased activity level of MAO-A enzyme and decreased scores from the GHQ-28 somatic subscale and the HADS depression subscale (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Daily consumption of anthocyanin-rich mulberry milk possibly improves mental health problems by reducing depressive and anxiety symptoms in the working population. The suppression of MAO-A activity is a possible underlying mechanism.

Purpose: This study was done to understand nursing students' exposure of needlestick and sharp injuries (NSSI), level of anxiety as well as experience of practicing injection with human beings during Fundamentals of Nursing (FN) practice. Methods: Data consisted of self-report questionnaires completed by 571 nursing students who had completed an injection practice in FN. The questionnaire included questions on general characteristics, exposure to NSSI, experience of practicing injections with human beings, level of anxiety and other experiences. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. Results: Of the students, 17.5% experienced NSSI and 83.2% performed invasive injection procedures in the FN practice. The level of anxiety was 4.62-6.46/10 points when injecting a classmate and 1.27-1.93/10 points when using manikins. The feeling most often reported was worried about making a mistake that could hurt my classmate (57.2%). Conclusion: Nursing students are exposed to NSSI and experience a high degree of anxiety in invasive injection practice. These results indicate that it is necessary to develop and implement standardized NSSI prevention and anxiety reduction programs in FN.

The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between marital conflict, parental control, and adolescents' anxiety. The participants were composed of 319 high school $1^{st}$ graders (of which 153 were boys and 165 were girls) from the Seoul area. They completed questionnaires on marital conflict, parental control, and adolescents' anxiety. The data were analyzed by means of Pearson's correlation coefficients and regressions. It was observed that marital conflict (frequency/intensity/resolution/content) was positively correlated with adolescents' anxiety. Parental psychological control was also positively correlated with adolescents' anxiety. However parental behavioral control was negatively correlated with adolescents' anxiety. In addition marital conflict was positively correlated with parental psychological control in contrast with that of behavioral control. It was further found that parental psychological and behavioral control partially mediated the relationship between marital conflict and adolescents' anxiety. These results clearly indicate that parental control plays a crucial role in marital conflict and adolescents' anxiety.

Anxiety is essentially a normal emotion with great adaptive significance like pain. to ease human suffering, treatment is sought to quell pain and anxiety only when they are excessive or when they interfere with performance or general health. In oriental medicine, anxiety has been also known as a important factor which is cause of body and mind disease. We obtained some points after studying of bibliographic research about anxiety and anxiety disorder like follows: 1. The signification of anxiety is similar to fear affection(恐情) and anxious feelings are fearful, long for solitary life and afraid of captivity. 2. Mechanism of anxiety disorder is related with kidney(腎) as well as heart(心), liver(肝), gall bladder(膽) and stomach(胃). 3. The prescription of fear affection is tonifying of kidney(益腎) and fixing of kidney's pure substance(固精) that is based on deficiency of kidney(賢氣不足) 4. A representative disorder about anxiety and phobia are Keongke(驚悸) and Cheongchung(정충). 5. Keongke(驚悸) and Cheongchung(정충) may be understood as phobias(恐佈症), general anxiety disorder(凡不安障碍) and panic disorder(恐慌障碍).

본 연구에서는 사회적 불안이 개인의 심리적 적응에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 사회적 불안을 더 많이 느끼는 사람들이 적게 느끼는 사람들에 비하여 걱정증상과 신경증 수준이 높았고 삶의 만족도와 심리적 안녕감 수준은 낮았다. 사회적 불안의 하위 영역과 하위 차원 중 심리적 적응도를 예언하는 영역이나 차원이 무엇인지를 알아보았다. 부정적 적응은 주로 개인불안에 의해 유발되는 반면, 긍정적인 적응은 개인불안과 함께, 공정성불안과 미래불안에 의해 예측되었다. 또한 사회적 불안 하위 차원 중에서는 상황을 염려하여 사람들이 느끼는 불안인 예견불안이 긍정적, 부정적 적응도를 유의하게 예언하였다. 사회적 불안과 최근 발생한 응답자들의 행동이나 생각 변화와의 관계를 분석한 결과, 사회적 불안이 높은 응답자일수록 최근 공격반응이나 포기반응을 더 자주 하였다. 특히 공격반응의 경우 개인불안이 유의한 예측변수로 나타났으며, 포기반응의 경우에는 정치불안과 사회문제불안이 유의한 예언변수로 나타났다. 사회적 불안차원 중에서 공격과 포기반응을 예측하는 변인은 예견불안이었다. 마지막으로 사회적 불안에 대한 스트레스 대처방식을 살펴본 결과, 응답자들은 전반적으로 문제해결적 대처방식을 많이 사용하고 있었다. 그러나 사회적 불안 수준이 높은 사람들이 사회적 불안이 낮은 사람들에 비하여 소망적 사고를 많이 하고 있었고, 특히, 안전불안과 정치불안을 많이 느끼는 사람일수록 소망적 사고를 많이 하였다. 반면에 반응불안이 높은 사람은 문제 회피적인 스트레스 대처방식을 많이 사용하고 있었다.
