This study aimed to predict psychopathology based on personality measures via supervised machine learning methodology. We implemented the Singer-Loomis Type Deployment Inventory (SLTDI) for psychological typology and the Korean version of the Revised Symptom Checklist 90 (KSCL-95) for psychopathology. A total of 521 Korean adults from across the country participated in the online survey. Statistical analyses including correlation, k-means cluster analysis, classification, and regression-based decoding were performed. Results revealed four differentiated clusters on the spectrum of clinical severity. Moreover, SLTDI could distinguish between hypothesis-driven and data-driven clusters by chance. KSCL-95's three subcategories, as well as its validity, were accurately classified. Regression-based decoding results showed that their typology data significantly predicted social desirability, depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, PTSD, schizophrenia, stress vulnerability, and interpersonal sensitivity significantly. Overall, these findings suggest that personality tests could be utilized to screen for the severity of psychopathology and to implement prevention and early intervention strategies.

Since the first domestic case of COVID-19 in 2020, social anxiety has caused people to avoid going outside, which has resulted in economic damage to alley commercial districts. However, even in the similar commercial districts, the economic impacts were different depending on the characteristics of the alley districts. This study identifies factors that affect the difference in sales of alleyways after COVID-19 by focusing on alley commercial districts in Seoul. Based on the review of previous studies, a total of 42 variables with six characteristics were constructed, and the principal component analysis was used to reduce the dimensionality of mixed variables. The variables were finally reduced to 12 variables and categorized into seven characteristics. We expect that the results of this study can be used as a basis for analyzing sales differences by standardizing the factors influencing sales in market districts that were previously uncategorized.

This study was analyzed by comparing it with paid-employed to understand the mental health level of self-employed people during the COVID-19 pandemic. The subjects of this study were 6,736 self-employed and 15,196 paid-employed using the 6th data of the Korean Working Conditions Survey(2020-2021). As a result of the study, self-employed people are more anxiety(F=-2.81, p=0.001) than paid-employed. Sleep disorders (F=-18.05, p=2.035), and depression levels(F=19.80, p=1.176) were all high, and the positive perception of subjective health(F=29.70, p=1.020) was also lower than that of paid-employed. Therefore, it is suggested that long-term and practical government policy and social security systems are needed for groups particularly disadvantaged by COVID-19.

Objectives : This study was to provide normative data of Korean version of DSI(K-DSI), a sensitive measure of relatively minor stressors that could be administered daily. Methods : K-DSI was administered in 524 adults, age of 19 or over, daily for 1 week. On the seventh day, Becks Depression Inventory(BDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI), and Social Readjustment Rating Scale(SRRS) were also given to test the convergent validity. Analyses(ANOVA or t-test) were conducted to examine the potential effects of demographic variables on K-DSI score. Internal consistency for reliability and Pearson's corelation coefficient with BDI, STAI, SRRS for convergent validity were computed. Percentile scores were calculated for daily and weekly K-DSI Event, Impact and I/E Ratio scores. Results : K-DSI scores in women were higher than those in men. According to age and educational level, the younger and the higher educational level the normative groups were, the higher were K-DSI scores. Among the 5 categories of the inventory, the category of cognitive stressors was highest. Internal consistency of K-DSI(Cronbach's $\alpha$) was .99. Daily and Weekly events and impacts scores were significantly correlated with the scores of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Social Readjustment Rating Scale, and Beck Depression Inventory. 75 percentile scores of the daily/weekly Events, Impacts, and I/E ratio were 17/118 - 124, 57/368 - 389 and 3.48 - 3.49/3.47 - 3.48 respectively. And 95 percentile scores of daily/weekly Events, Impacts, and I/E ratio were 57/151- 161, 405/1038 - 1122, and 4.72 - 4.86/4.46 - 4.56 respectively. Conclusion : Reliability and validity of K-DSI were tested satisfactorily. Authors presented the normative data of K-DSI for Koreans. K-DSI could be a useful measure in clinical settings or researches to assess the minor stressors frequently experienced in everyday life.

This study investigated the objective and perceived level of economy and its relationship with mother's mental health, parenting behaviors, and problem behaviors in preschoolers. Data drawn from mothers and teachers of 238 preschoolers, ages 3-5, were used. Using the objective and perceived level of economy, subjects were classified into four groups. Individuals categorized as high by objective and perceived level of economy, low by objective and perceived level of economy, high by objective and low by perceived level of economy, and low by objective and high by perceived level of economy were categorized as in-agreement/high group, in-agreement/low group, over-estimator group, and under-estimator group, respectively. To investigate the difference between groups, one-way ANOVAs and post-hoc analyses were used. The results showed that in-agreement/low group and under-estimator group showed greater depression and anxiety than in-agreement/high group and over-estimator group. In addition, in-agreement/high group and over-estimator group showed greater affective parenting behaviors and lower aggressive parenting behaviors than in-agreement/low group and under-estimator group. In terms of internalizing problem behavior by mother, in-agreement/high group and over-estimator group were lower than under-estimator group. In terms of externalizing problem behavior by mother, in-agreement/high group was lower than under-estimator group. However, in terms of internalizing and externalizing problem behavior by teacher, there was no difference between groups. In externalizing problem behavior by teacher, in-agreement/low group was lower than over-estimator group.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine factors associated with the self-rated health status of the elderly and whether these factors were different from younger adults. Methods: An interview survey was conducted on non-institutionalized adults in Wonju City, Korea. Determinants of self-rated health status were identified and compared between individuals aged 19 to 64 years and those aged 65 years and over, using an ordered logistic regression conducted separately on these two groups. Participants were 1,685 younger adults and 188 elderly people. Self-rated health status was measured along a continuous scale from 0 to 100 (0 for the worst and 100 for the best they could imagine) and then binned into 11 categories. Results: Self-rated health status of the elderly in Wonju was associated with household income, education, bereavement, adequate sleep, daily and social life being affected by poor health status, mobility, and anxiety and depression. Household income, adequate sleep, and participation in social activities were significant only in the elderly, while some factors associated with the self-rated health status of younger adults, such as rural dwelling, regular exercise, living alone, and skipping breakfast were not significant in the elderly. Conclusion: In order to improve the health of the elderly in Wonju City, it would be necessary to develop programs addressing those specific needs of the elderly and to integrate them effectively in the Healthy City projects.
