Purpose: This study was designed to examine the relationship between nurses' characteristics and perception of seriousness of elder abuse. Method: A cross-sectional survey design was used to describe the perception of elder abuse by 301 nurses. Data were collected by convenience sampling. The research instruments utilized in this study were 12 scenarios adapted by Yoo & Kim from the 13 senarios to measure the perception of elder abuse developed by Moon and Williams (1993), a seven item questionnaires related to elder abuse law, and a Semantic Differential Scaling to measure attitudes toward elderly people. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson's correlation. Results: The mean score for perceptions of elder abuse was 3.07. Among the types of abuse, sexual abuse was perceived as the most severe type of abuse followed by physical abuse, neglect, financial abuse, and emotional abuse in that order. Education, job position, experience of gerontological nursing course, and education on elder abuse, exposure to elder abuse information, and attitudes toward elders were significantly related to the perception of seriousness on elder abuse. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that provision of elder abuse education is needed for nurses, to enable them to identify elder abuse and address their legal and professional responsibilities.

This study aimed to identify the factors affecting elderly care willingness (ECW) of nursing students. A total of 313 nursing students participated in the study. Data were collected from May to June 2019 using Interpersonal Reactivity Index-Korean version, Semantic Differential Scaling for evaluating attitudes toward elders, Scale of Ageism, and Questionnaire for care willingness toward older adults. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression using SPSS 21.0 Program. The factors with the most significant influence on the elderly care willingness was prejudice toward the elderly (β=-.30, p=.001), followed by attitude toward the elderly (β=-.25, p=.004), third year (β=-.23, p=.016), satisfaction with volunteer experience with the elderly (β=-.21, p=.008), satisfaction with nursing major (β=-.17, p=.032), and empathy (β=.16, p=.046). These factors explained 46% of the elderly care willingness. In conclusion, it is necessary to reduce prejudice against the elderly and develop positive attitudes toward the elderly to increase the willingness of nursing students to care for older adults. In particular, further study is required to increase the willingness of nursing students to care for the elderly through developing programs such as curriculums for positive contact experiences with the elderly and volunteer activities for the elderly.

In previous study, to investigate the impression of the compound lighting based on the AC-Model at the full-size room, the impressions of various compound lighting were completed as compared with that of the uniform lightings through the comparison method (a paired comparison) by Semantic Differential scaling. Also, we examined the effect of the supplementary lighting type increasing the lights at the side of the window and the blind-control lighting type, and they were compared with the existing compound lighting type. In results, pared comparison of the compound lighting and the uniform lighting, indicates that the impression of the compound lighting is generally similar to that of the uniform lighting when there are same ratios of the light from the window. Based on these results, we suggest that the AC-Model might be applied to various conditions. And we also introduce the method for daylighting that it is possible to reduce discomfort glare and to improve visual impressions as the supplementary type and blind-control type on the compound lighting. And it was found that electric power consumption of the compound lighting room was lower than that of the uniform lighting room when as same lighting ratio of the compound lighting and the uniform lighting from the window was provided or there was the lighting distribution simulated to same light ratio from the window. Since the method of the ACModel was described in the experimental condition, additional studies should be performed to determine if this model could be applied to different window configurations, lighting layout and types of a room.

The purpose of this study is to find the bi-polar adjectives for rural stream landscape evaluation by the semantic differential scale and to suggest the major determinants of visual preference in rural stream landscapes. For this, the bi-polar adjectives for rural stream landscape evaluation was found by the method of the reliability test, and the spatial image was analyzed by the factor analysis. The level of visual preference was measured by slide simulation test, and these data were analyzed by the multiple regression. The major findings of this study can be summarized as follows : 1) Of the bi-polar adjectives expressing psychological and physical characteristics, the hi-polar adjectives which demonstrated reliability and consistency run as follows : Bi-polar adjectives expressing psychological characteristics : 'calm-bustling', 'unfamiliar-familiar', 'still-active','depressing-brisk', 'discomfortable-comfortable', 'suppressed-free', 'lifeless-living', 'quiet-noisy', 'unpleasant-pleasant'. Bi-polar adjectives expressing physical characteristics : 'artificial-natural', 'narrow-wide', 'rocky-not rocky', 'desolate-fertile', 'dirty-clean', 'enclosed-open', 'flat-steep', 'not gravelly-gravelly', 'thicketed-not thicketed', 'not weedy-weedy'. 2) Two factors, the harmony and the movement, were derived from the factor analysis for the psychological variables. Three factors, the naturalness, the rock, and the vegetation, were derived from the factor analysis for the physical variables. 3) Rural stream landscape types were classified into four types by the multi-dimensional scaling method. Type III, IV obtained higher rank of visual preference and type I, II obtained lower. 4) For all types, the factors determining the level of visual preference were found to be the harmony, the naturalness, and the vegetation. The visual preference determinants of rural stream landscape need to be considered in improving or restoring the rural stream landscapes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among knowledge, attitudes, and the use of negative control maintenance techniques toward older adults among nurses working in geriatric hospitals (n=86). Methods: Data were collected from April 4th to May 30th in 2006 by using questionnaires of Fact on Aging Quiz Part I, Aging Semantic Differential Scaling, and Control Maintenance Techniques. Results: The findings showed that the nurses displayed lack of knowledge concerning older adults and their average rate of correct answer was 45.6%. They also hold some negative bias and attitudes, especially in psychological and social aspects. The level of using negative control maintenance techniques in managing older patients' problematic behaviors was reported as the mean of 5.65 with a possible range of 0-40. Nurse's knowledge of older adults was positively associated with their attitudes toward older adults, but their knowledge and attitudes were not associated with the use of negative control maintenance techniques. Conclusion: It is necessary to provide educational programs for nurses that focus on a comprehensive understanding of aging with lifetime developmental perspectives. Further studies are needed to understand the factors associated with using negative control maintenance techniques and to evaluate the intervention programs in reducing the use of negative control maintenance techniques.

The objective of this study was to identify the texture-related components of woven fabrics and to develop a multidimensional perceptual structure map to represent the tactile textures. Eighty subjects in clothing and tektite industries were selected for multivariate data on each fabric of 30 using the questionnaire with 9 pointed semantic differential scales of 20 texture-related adjectives. Data were analyzed by factor analysis, hierarchical cluster analysis, and multidimensional scaling(MDS) using SPSS statistical package. The results showed that the five factors were selected and composed of density/warmth-coolness, stiffness, extensibility, drapeability, and surface/slipperiness. As a result of hierarchical cluster analysis, 30 fabrics were grouped by four clusters; each cluster was named with density/warmth-coolness, surface/slipperiness, stiffness, and extensibility, respectively. By MDS, three dimensions of tactile texture were obtained and a 3-dimensional perceptual structure map was suggested. The three dimensions were named as surface/slipperiness, extensibility, and stiffness. We proposed a positioning perceptual map of fabrics related to texture naming system(TNS). To classify the textural features of the woven fabrics, hierarchical cluster analysis containing all the data variations, even though it includes the errors, may be more desirable than texture-related multidimensional data analysis based on factor loading values in respect of the effective variables reduction without losing the critical variations.

The purpose of this study is to develop data base and interface for sofa consumers and sofa designers. The human sensibility ergonomics method was used to find the consumer needs and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method was used to extract the designing characteristics required for sofa production. About 200 words and 100 images were gathered from sofa and furniture related catalogs and internet sites to find the best emotional words and images that can express the various sofa aspect. Among the collected words and images, 34 emotional words were selected for sensibility experiment according to the opinions of experts, relations of closeness and frequency of use, and 50 images were selected for the experiment by the diversity. Selected words and images were used for the semantic differential method with 94 subjects, and sensibility characteristics of sofas were defined through various statistical analysis methods including basic statistical analysis, factor analysis and multi-dimensional scale. In reflecting design characteristics of sofas, design factors of sofas were divided into backrest, seat, armrest, neck support and leg, and relative importance of each factor for design was determined with analytic hierarchy process (AHP) by utilizing the experts' opinions. Based on the results above, relationship analysis between emotional evaluation results and design factors was performed. Also, as various sofa images are presented diagrammatically through multidimensional scaling method, it can be used as an important tool for the development of sofa design. This study will contribute improving the product quality of sofas as it enables applying consumer needs into the sofa design.

본 연구는 동적 시각 디스플레이에서 움직임 속성과 감성간의 관계를 이해하고자 하였다. 움직임에서의 감성 모형을 구축하기 위해 기존 연구에서 수집된 감성어휘를 움직임과 관련된 감성을 설명하기에 적절한지 평가하도록 하고 직접 움직임 자극을 제시하면서 자유롭게 움직임에서 감성을 보고하도록 하여 70개의 감성 어휘로 정리하였다. 정리된 어휘들 중 핵심적인 어휘들을 선별하기 위해 다양한 움직임에 대한 감성을 평가한 결과로 요인분석을 실시하여 각 요인을 대표하는 19개의 기본 감성 어휘를 추출하였다. 19개 어휘를 통해 움직임의 감성을 평정한 값을 다차원 척도법을 통해 분석하고 어휘들이 분포된 형태를 분석한 결과 움직임에 대한 감성 차원은 ‘적극적이다-소극적이다’ 차원과 ‘밝다-어둡다’ 두 차원으로 대부분 설명될 수 있었다. 구축된 감성 공간을 기초로 움직이는 속도와 진행 경로의 여러 속성들을 다양하게 변화시키면서 두 가지 감성 차원에 따라 움직임에서의 감성을 평가하도록 하였다. 움직임을 결정하는 물리적 속성 중 속도, 곡선 경로의 주기와 진폭이 감성 차원을 결정하는 요인으로 작용하는 경향을 보였다. 단색에서의 감성이 움직임 감성 공간에서 두 차원을 기준으로 설명된 수 있음에도 불구하고, 움직임 요인에 색이 추가될 경우 색이나 움직임 중 한 가지 요인이 특정 감성 차원에 보다 주도적인 효과를 나타내는 경향이 있었다. 색과 움직임 요인이 동시에 제시될 때 색은 ‘밝다 어둡다’ 의 차원에서의 효과를, 움직임은 ‘적극적이다-소극적이다’ 감성차원에서의 반응을 예측할 수 있는 요소로 작용하였다.uency), 다양하게(flexibility), 그리고 독특하게(originality) 제시할 수 있는 능력이 중요한 것이 아니라, 주어진 문제 상황과 관련하여 해결 개연성이 높은 적절한 아이디어를 찾아나갈 수 있는 능력이 중요한 것임을 지적한다. 필자는 발산적 사고가 작동을 하지 않고서도 어떻게 역사적인 창의적 행위가 가능할 수 있는지를 보여주는 예로 Kekule의 벤젠링 발견의 경우 둥을 살펴본다. 창의적 문제 해결에서는 발산적 사고가 중요한 것이 아니라 해결해야할 문제 영역에 대한 통찰력과 아울러 어떤 아이디어가 주어진 문제 해결에 유용한지에 대한 통찰력이 핵심 요체이며, 이러한 통찰력은 바로 논리적ㆍ비판적 사고 훈련을 통해서 길러질 수 있는 능력인 것이다. 이와 같은 비판적 사고 교육의 강조는 정보화 사회 혹은 지식기반 사회 등으로 특징지워지는 현대사회의 특성과도 밀접한 연관을 맺고 있다. 현대 과학기술의 급격한 발전과 정치ㆍ사회ㆍ문화의 패러다임의 급속한 변화는 요구되는 지식기반의 내용과 중요성을 유동적으로 변화시키게 되었다. 따라서 새로운 변화에 신속히 적응하고 새로운 상황에서 발생하는 여러 문제들을 적절히 해결할 수 있는 상황적응적인 인지적 능력의 배양이 필요하게 되었다 우리는 이제 누구나 인터넷 서핑을 통해 방대한 정보와 지식에 접근할 수 있게 되었다. 이에 따라 암기 등을 통한 정보와 지식의 습득과 축적의 그 본래적 가치는 과거에 비해 현저히 낮아졌다. 가치를 만들어 내는 중심은 지식을 가지고 있다는 데에 있지 않고, 습득한 정보와 지식들을 조합하고 재구성하여 합리적인 문제
