Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors for addiction-related behaviors among Korean adolescents. Methods: The study's subjects were 60,040 middle and high school students who participated in the 14th (2018) Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey. Frequency analysis, $x^2$ test, and multivariate logistic regression were conducted using SPSS 21.0. Results: The risk factors for addiction-related behaviors were sex, school type, living area, academic performance, economic status, residence type, health status, depression, perceived stress and sleep satisfaction. Conclusion: Addiction-related behaviors are associated with mental health. Therefore, in order to prevent addictive-behaviors of adolescents, it is necessary to develop strategies to prevent addictive-behaviors by improving their mental health.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the general characteristics and health behaviors of students with non-therapeutic substance use. Methods: This secondary data analysis used data from the 17th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (2021). Analyses of the 54,848 adolescents used descriptive statisics, the Rao-Scott χ² test, and logistic regression. Results: The risk factors for substance use among students were anxiety, loneliness, living separately from family, suicidal ideation, e-cigarette use, and high stress. Conclusion: The findings help identify the risk factors for non-therapeutic drug use among adolescents. Since South Korea does not have a drug prevention program for its adolescent population, an educational plan based on these findings could help prevent adolescent substance abuse.

This paper proposes the concept and the general framework of the risk-based seismic design. Because earthquakes and the behaviors of structures are very unpredictable, probabilistic seismic design methods have been proposed after deterministic design methods. Considering these changes, we can find that the important point of seismic design is not the structural behavior itself, but the consequence of structural behavior under possible earthquakes. Risk-based seismic design can tell these consequences under any earthquakes. In this paper, structural confidences are considered by using fragility curve, and risk is modeled by failure probability and consequence-property damage cost, casualty cost.

This study was performed to examine the impact on the health behaviors of the children by their parents' drinking behaviors. We used the data from a community health survey in 2009. The subjects were selected the household that had a child older than 19, and then among them, chose those 916 parents of highly risky drinking exposition among 16,383 control parents. The collected data was analyzed by frequency, chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis, using SPSS 18.0k program. Parent's high risk drinking behavior was independently associated with children's high risk drinking behavior after adjusting covariates(p<0.01). According to the result of the study, high risk drinking behavior of parents impact highly on the children's high risk alcohol drinking, nutritional behaviors, influenza vaccination, and tooth brushing, so it's necessary to consider a systematic family health education to the high risk drinkers.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships of store service quality, evaluative criteria, perceived risk and impulsive buying behavior of apparels. Data were collected from 481 women living in Busan and analysed by factor analysis, frequency analysis, Cronbach's $\alpha$, multiple regression analysis. The results were as follows: 1. The overall perceived risk was emerged the relationship to the easy-of-care and prestige/brand royalty of apparel products in evaluative criteria. The lower scores of salesperson service and store atmosphere were the high perceived performance risk by consumers. But the color/style of apparel products influenced positively performance risk. The care risk was emerged the relationship to the easy-of-care. And the time convenience loss risk and socio-psychological risk was influenced by prestige/brand royalty of apparel products. 2. The impulsive buying behavior of apparel products was influenced by care risk, performance risk and the store atmosphere. The results showed that perceived risk were influenced partially by store service quality and evaluative criteria of apparel. When were impulsive buying behavior of apparel products, consumers were influenced by care risk that easy-of-care and change after cleaning, and performance risk that coordination and the cost of buying, and then, were influence by store atmosphere and interior.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the scale of health risk behaviors among adolescents in Daegu area. The purpose of this study was to develop a health risk behavior measurement item for the adolescent adolescents in Korea and to analyze the validity (CVR) of the existing THI measurement items and then to quantify the health risk behavior Were compared and analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the reliability of the health risk behavior scale of adolescents developed through the factor analysis was verified to derive measurement items such as general condition, respiratory, circulatory, digestive, mental health and other items. The reliability and validity of the developed health risk behavior scale were found to be fairly good. Through these studies, it will be possible to develop a preventive program that can reduce the risk of health related adolescents' youth, and to devise a strategy that can provide basic data for policy formulation.

After Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, Korean government banned to import of Japanese fishery products that comes from north region of Japan. As 'fishery product trade dispute' between Korea and Japan is still in progress, consumers have been threatened their food safety. This study is to examine the factors influencing consumer's risk perception to Japanese fishery products and risk taking behavior. Survey was conducted with 1,500 adult during sep-oct 2012. The result can represent the role of affect with risk perception of Japanese fishery product. People who have negative affect to Japanese fishery products have higher risk perception. Also negative affection can influence to risk taking behavior. However the degree of fatalism is not significant factor to risk taking behavior.

The level of sunk cost and risk-taking theory have been offered as one explanation for the escalation of commitment behavior. This Study attempted to replicate Keil's study in Korea. Keil examined the level of sunk cost associated with the risk propensity and risk perception of decision-makers, and these factors are assessed for cross-cultural robustness using matching laboratory experiments carried out in three countries. The level of sunk cost and the risk perception of decision-makers contributed significantly to their continuous willingness to their project. Moreover, the risk propensity of decision-makers was inversely related to risk perception, and this inverse relationship was significantly more weak in Korea than in Singapore. These results show that the sunk-cost effect exists across cultures, and that the risk-taking behaviors are partially mediated by cultural factors.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the paths from the cumulative risk factors to infant's development at 24 months of age via the mediation of maternal parenting behaviors. The data consisted of 3 year's worth of data harvested from 1802 families participating in the Panel Study on Korean Children (PSKC). The results revealed that cumulative family risk factors tended to stay in the family in relatively stable ways. Early risk factors significantly predicted later risk factors. Cumulative risk factors were negatively associated with the parenting styles of mothers, which in turn, significantly predicted the development of the infants concerned. Statistical tests supported the notion that mothers' parenting behavior is the mediator of the relation between family risk factors and infant's developmental outcomes.

This study begins with a review of commonly discussed dimensions of public risk perception that may influence public opinion toward risks. Factors that have been revealed by the literature to have substantial impact on risk perception, such as demographic background, trust, and media environment, are also discussed. Meanwhile, we evaluate two well-known research models in the realm of risk analysis: 1) the psychometric paradigm, and 2) the social amplification of risk framework (SARF). Based on a literature review, this study suggests that, besides the psychological and social approach, models of risk perception and risk communication research should shift to a more comprehensive one by considering the interrelations between laypeople and the environment. This study proposes a research model from the perspective of social cognitive theory (SCT) as a potential framework for future studies: 1) in the societal environment, individuals' risk perception and information seeking behavior, which is determined by risk perception will be influenced by trust in regulators and interpersonal trust; 2) in the media environment, individuals' risk perception and information seeking behavior will be influenced by individuals' perceived information characteristics. Knowledge about risk accumulated through information seeking will change risk perception in a longitudinal process.
