본 연구는 중고령자의 모바일기기 이용능력과 삶의 만족도의 관계에서 모바일 기반 온라인 사회참여활동의 매개효과를 검증하고자 한다. 이를 위해 한국정보화진흥원의 2018년 디지털 정보격차 실태조사 자료를 사용하여 55세 이상 중고령자 1,665명을 대상으로 Baron & Kenny(1986)의 3step 과정을 통해 매개효과를 검증하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 중고령자의 모바일기기 이용능력은 삶의 만족도에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 중고령자의 모바일기기 이용능력이 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향은 모바일 기반 온라인 사회참여 활동(사회적 관심사에 대한 의견표명, 정책제안 및 민원제기, 기부나 봉사활동, 온라인 투표 및 여론조사)에 의해 부분적으로 매개되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 중고령자의 스마트폰, 스마트패드와 같은 모바일기기 이용능력이 중고령자의 삶의 만족도 향상에 직접적으로 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라 중고령자의 모바일 기반 온라인 사회참여활동의 확대를 통해 간접적으로도 삶의 만족도에 기여한다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 이 연구는 노인의 모바일 기반 온라인 사회참여활동 증진과 삶의 만족도 향상을 위해 스마트폰과 같은 모바일기기이용을 확대하고 중고령자의 디지털정보화수준을 향상하기 위한 실천적 개입에 기초적 자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 온라인 국민참여서비스, 사이버정당, 시민사회네트워크의 발달과 운동 등으로 구분되는 다양한 사이버정치 활동이 온라인에서 어떤 특징을 보이는지, 가상공간 안에서의 정치 활동이 오프라인의 환경과 어떤 연관성이 있는지 알아보는 것에 목표가 있다. 이를 위해 2012년 대통령 선거에서 사이버정치 활동을 했던 32명의 20대를 중심으로 연구를 수행하였고, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 가장 일반적인 사이버정치의 형태인 온라인 국민참여서비스의 경우, 온 오프라인에서 모두 정보의 탐색 및 획득은 누구나 쉽게 접근이 가능하고, 열려 있는 장소에서 일어나며, 정보의 창출과 재구조화는 안정감과 보호받고 있다는 느낌이 있는 닫혀 있고 지극히 개인적인 곳에서 이루어지고 있다. 둘째, 우리나라의 사이버정당은 가교공간으로 활용할 수 있는 충분한 여건을 갖추고 있음에도 불구하고 그 기능을 수행하지 못하나, 즉각 형성 소멸되는 즉시적 사회공간을 창출하는 데 부분적으로나마 공헌하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 시민사회네트워크의 발달과 운동을 통해 형성된 온라인 관계는 정치적 성향과 관심에 따라 분절되며, 이는 오프라인에서의 네트워크와 주요 활동장소의 선택에까지 영향을 미친다.

The purpose of this study was to discuss the role of mothers in children's privacy protection on the Internet. Specifically, the study explored 1)children's privacy protection efforts on the Internet, 2)types of personal information children provided at Web sites, and 3)the effect of mothers' privacy protection efforts on their children's privacy protection levels. The Internet survey was conducted and total of 153 mothers and their children aged 12-13 were included for statistical analysis. The descriptive statistics and Ordinary Least Squares were used. The results yield that children showed relatively high levels in providing personal information on the Internet, while they have no sufficient competency at privacy protection. The effect of mothers' privacy protection efforts on children's privacy protection was partially supported. The longer hours of Internet use and frequent participation in online events increased the potential consequences of children's privacy invasion. Providing privacy standards for online service providers and marketers targeting children could help protect children's privacy. Moreover, education program targeting parents and children could contribute them reduce potential consequences of children's privacy invasion.

Purpose: Crowdfunding can be a complementary channel in which start-ups or small companies can obtain financial help and take advantage of exploiting the online potential. To activate crowdfunding, it is necessary to consider a consumer's empathic responses. This article examines the role of empathy in the crowdfunding channel platform. We adopted the identification-commitment model to prove the role of empathy. Research design, data, and methodology: Participants were asked to read the charitable crowdfunding campaign. More than 300 young adults completed an online questionnaire and we analyzed it with structural equation modeling (SEM). To find out the role of empathy, we postulate several models which use empathy variable for different purposes. Results: We conclude that empathy has the role of moderator in the identification-commitment model. This means the high empathic response helped the relationship between identification and commitment. However, low empathic response can negatively influence the process of identification to commitment. Conclusions: This study found that virtual empathy is positively related to crowdfunding participation if we can elevate empathy in the crowdfunding channel platform. The findings also show that we need to consider empathic response when we want to raise funds for specific projects such as protecting the natural environment.

This paper explored how university students viewed flipped learning from their own perspectives. Using qualitative research methods, 5 students from a Computer Graphics course at a mid-scale university in Seoul were interviewed for this purpose. Researchers collected data about their learning experiences, emotions, and reflections about flipped learning in general and its components such as online materials, in-class activities, and instructor guidance. Research findings indicated that students were not so much conscious about the unfamiliarity of the class, the increased work load, nor the online lectures. They rather prioritized 'what they could actually learn' from the course, and thus defined flipped learning as a method which enabled students to constantly check and fill in the gaps in their learning through team-based activities and prompt feedback from the professor. A combination of students' positive attitude and active participation in team-based activities, the overall atmosphere of the department which supported interactivity and collaboration, the professor's emphasis on learning-by-doing and student-centered learning appeared to form their notions of flipped learning. The use of technology did not appear to heavily impact students' conceptions of flipped learning. Researchers suggest that pedagogical beliefs of the professor, culture surrounding the learner, and the good match between the course content and instructional strategies are central for designing a successful flipped learning class.

This study selected fashion brands claiming to advocate feminism to analyze their characteristics and female images. For the study's data, online foreign feminist fashion brands were sifted from March 2017 to January 2018 and 28 clothing brands were selected. The study's results show that feminist fashion brands aim at the demassification and individualization of fashion products to be more inclusive of individuals' physical characteristics and diversity. Additionally, feminist brands entice consumption through communication and participation in online communities and through the value of social coexistence. The essential female image produced by feminist fashion brands deconstructs a socially idealized female image and expresses a sense of self-body positivity. In turn, the concept of self-body positivity is communicated through natural images of independent women with distinct identities based on differences in race, culture, and sexual orientation. Moreover, feminist fashion brands produce social images featuring independent women using active wear to engage in social activities. Casual wear is also used to reflect active women, while mannish looks and power suits express women's social status and professional abilities. Ultimately, these offer functionally active and rational images, combined with female images featuring long hair and makeup. Yet another type of female image seeks to create a new vision of women as diverse due to their various cultures, countries of origin, races, and individual tastes. These new images express women's physical differences, distinct identities, and diversity while simultaneously deconstructing pre-existing forms of clothing.

How does social interaction among investors affect decision-making in the online social lending platform? And what is the reason? In this study, in order to obtain the answer, we carried out case study research of Moneyauction and Popfunding, which are domestic online social lending platforms. We conducted interviews with managements of both social lending platforms and investors and analyzed statistical data including investment records, social interaction history between investors and lenders from both platforms. In addition, researchers performed direct participation and observation through the platforms as real investment members. As a result, we revealed that social interaction among investors has a material impact on the investment decision-making. Also we found that investors build trust by socially interacting with each other and this trust building leads to the investment decision making. Our findings confirm that social lending investors's decision-making process comply with the social embeddedness theory and imply that loan applicants must do their best efforts to display sincerity and truthfulness through their posting.

In engineering education, stimulating students' questions and encouraging learning participation are crucial for achieving higher-order thinking abilities. This study aims to investigate the use and effect of an online communication channel in fostering engineering students' questioning abilities. Consequently, in this research, we gauged students' satisfaction with an engineering class that implemented a communication channel, and scrutinized the changes in their perceptions regarding the significance of questions, their engagement in learning, and their academic self-efficacy. In addition, we interviewed the students who participated in the class. The outcomes are as follows: Firstly, student satisfaction improved compared to the previous semester's class where the communication channel was not utilized. Secondly, learners' understanding of the importance of asking questions positively escalated, alongside their actual frequency of posing questions. Thirdly, there was an improvement in learners' active engagement in their studies and their academic self-confidence. The findings of this research suggest that communication channels should be employed to motivate learners to pose questions and involve students in effective learning.
