This study examined structured social network types and their relationship to quality on life satisfaction of older adults. Respondents were 418 adults aged 60 or older living alone or as couples. The data was analyzed using K-means cluster analysis. Four networks types were identified: diverse, friend-neighbor focused, family focused, and restricted. Life satisfaction was highest for individuals in the diverse network group and lowest for individuals in the restricted network group. Stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that life satisfaction of the elderly was affected by the diverse network, family focused network, the relationship quality with children, the relationship quality with neighbors, and the relationship quality with relatives. Results suggested that having diverse social network in close proximity is very important in old age and structural network types may have important practical implications for improving the quality of life among the elderly.

Although previous studies on social commerce have provided much insight, more studies in the perspective of social network are needed because social commerce happens within online communities or virtual groups, where buyers connect and interact with each other by sharing information. So, the purpose of this study is to investigate how transactive memory as network characteristic can affect social commerce behavior through social support and relationship quality. We verified the relational effect among social support, relationship quality, and social commerce intention in the Korean market context. Moreover, we found transactive memory capability also played an essential role in the field of social commerce. Specifically, we found consumer's transactive memory capability plays a significant moderating role in the relation between social support and relationship quality.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the moderating effects of a size of the friendship network and quality of friendship on the associations between mutual antipathy and maladjustment. The subjects were 678 fifth- and sixth-grade primary school children who were recruited from a public school in Bucheon City. The Peer Nomination Inventory was used to assess mutual antipathy, peer victimization, social withdrawal, aggression, and the friendship network. The children were given a classroom roster and asked to nominate up to three classmates who fit each description. Additionally, the children reported the quality of their friendships using the Friendship Quality Scale. Each child was asked to indicate his or her one best friend and rate how accurately a sentence describe done of their best friends on the scale. The results revealed that the friendship network and friendship quality significantly moderated the relationships between mutual antipathy and social withdrawal, and peer victimization. The magnitude of the association between mutual antipathy and social withdrawal was not significant for large friendship networks and high quality friendships. Although mutual antipathy was significantly associated with peer victimization, the association was stronger at lower levels than at higher levels of the friendship network and quality. However, there was no moderating effect of the friendship network and quality on the association between mutual antipathy and aggression. A large friendship network and high quality friendship could be protective factors among those who have mutual antipathy in peer groups.

Objectives: This study aimed to collect information that will help enhance the social networks and improve the quality of life among elderly people by observing the relationship between their social network and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and by analyzing social network factors affecting HRQoL. Methods: This study was based on the 2008 Community Health Survey in Yeoncheon County. Three hundred elders were included in the study population. We compared the revised Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS-R) score and Euro quality of life-5 dimensions health status index by demographic characteristics and chronic disease prevalence. We analyzed the data using multiple regression and tobit regression by setting the HRQoL as the dependent variable and social network and other characteristics as the independent variables. We analyzed social network factors by using factor analysis. Results: The LSNS-R score differed significantly according to age and existence of a spouse. According to the results from the hierarchical multiple regression analysis, the LSNS-R explained 0.10 of the variance and LSNS-R friends factor explained 0.10 of the variance. The tobit regression indicated that the contribution of the LSNS-R family size factor to the regression coefficient of the independent variable that affected the HRQoL was $B_T$=2.96, that of the LSNS-R family frequency factor was $B_T$=3.60, and that of LSNS-R friends factor was $B_T$=5.41. Conclusions: Social networks among elderly people had a significant effect on HRQoL and their networks of friends had a relatively higher effect than those of family members.

본 연구는 대학에서 이루어지고 있는 강의에 있어 전통적인 오프라인 강의실 강의에 정보기술 발달과 함께 급속도로 확산되고 있는 SNS(Social Network Service)를 접목할 경우 학습성과의 변화에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보기 위해 시작되었다. 이를 위하여 101명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 소셜 네트워킹 참여(online social networking engagement)와 사회적 수용(acculturation)은 교수와의 상호작용 품질(interaction quality with professors)에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 교수와의 상호작용품질은 협력학습(collaborative learning)과 학습성과(learning performance)에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구의 목적은 치매노인들의 사회 연결망 유형을 분류한 후, 유형과 삶의 질과의 관계를 파악하는 것이다. 이는 사회 연결망이 치매노인의 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위함이다. 조사대상은 대구광역시 동구보건소에 등록된 경증 치매노인 중 본 연구에 동의한 222명으로 하였으며, 조사는 7월 17일부터 8월 31일까지 구조화된 설문지를 활용하여 면접조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0을 이용하여, 기술통계와 일원배치분산분석, 회귀분석, 계층적 군집분석을 하였다. 치매노인의 사회 연결망 유형은 세 가지, 비활동고립형, 활동자립형, 비활동의존형으로 분류되었으며, 유형별 응답자들의 삶의 질 차이는 통계적으로 유의하게 달랐다. 분석 결과, 활동자립형 연결망이 삶의 질이 가장 높았고, 비활동고립형이 가장 낮았다. 결론적으로, 사회 연결망 유형의 분류는 치매노인의 대인관계 환경을 숙고하게 된다. 현재의 분석상 나타난 것처럼 치매노인의 삶의 질에 미친 효과는 타당한 하나의 실례로 여겨진다. 치매노인을 위한 서비스 프로그램은 사회 연결망 유형을 토대로 다르게 제공되어야 함을 시사한다.

The research is to identify social networks of problems that have an influence on the quality of ageing people's lives by using social network analysis, based on the premise that there are differences in networks of ageing problems in urban and rural areas. From analyzing network of ageing people's problems using NodeXL, vertices in the networks of both urban and rural areas are well-connected. For urban areas, financial poverty is the core problem related to the quality of life. It has direct connections with illness and health, family responsibility, housing, role loss in community, and employment, which have positive or negative interactions with the quality of older people's lives. For rural areas, on the other hand, role loss in community is the major problem. It has direct connections with the elderly abuse, financial poverty, leisure activity, divorce, isolation and loneliness from society, education, and suicide. As a result, the research shows that the problems of ageing people have strong linkages and interactive effects with a structure of network, and the networks are different depending on types of places for living.
