The sociocultural multifunctionality of rural areas consists of emotional comfort, green landscape, cultural heritage, and rural viability values. The value of the sociocultural multifunctionality was assessed by contingent valuation method incoporating preference uncertainty. The log-logit models indicated that households were willing to pay 14,027~26,757 won per month and the model with preference uncertainty gave the highest WTP. WTP was affected by respondent's sex, location, awareness of relation with multifunctionality and others.

본 연구에서는 현대 사회의 변화로 주목받고 있는 남성의 선호 이미지와 가치를 규명하고 미디어에 등장하는 인물을 통해 남성 메이크업이 현대 사회문화적 가치를 어떻게 충족시키고 있는지 알아보고자 한다. 연구 방법으로는 우선 문헌 자료와 인터넷을 중심으로 남성의 선호 이미지와 사회문화적 가치를 고찰하였다. 다음으로, 디자인 요소를 중심으로 미디어에 등장한 인물을 통해 남성 메이크업 사례를 비교 분석하였다. 첫째, 실용적 가치는 목적 지향적인 행동을 위한 합리적 사용의 기술적, 도구적 가치이다. 실용적 가치를 강조한 메이크업은 밝고 내추럴한 피부 표현, 최대한 자제된 색조의 연출, 진한 아이브로우 색상의 사용으로 표현되었다. 둘째, 미적 가치는 순수한 미적 가치만을 추구하는 표현적, 장식적 가치이다. 셋째, 상징적 가치는 역사와 사회에서 체험되는 의지적, 의도적 가치이다. 이는 남성들의 구매행동 동기를 설명하는데 있어 중요한 기준이 되는 선호 이미지를 이해하고 이미지 관리 형태에 대한 분석과 향후 남성들의 뷰티 트렌드를 유추하는데 실질적인 기초 자료로 활용 될 수 있으리라 사료된다.

The results of this study were as follows : The participants experienced 4 categorized subjects : understanding the oneself - mother to be, performing the dual role, drifting the emotion, and living disheartened during pregnancy. The participants were showed universality and diversity pattern in the self understanding process. The universal pattern were 'mother to be' showing maturation, life along family and priority on motherhood between being a mother and a woman. The diverse pattern were taking the dual role in working mothers having the higher self actualized value and personal identity rather than maternal identity, drifting emotion in resigned mothers, and living disheartened in mothers who have two daughters and no son. In conclusion, the Korean multigravidas experienced womanhood as well as motherhood through the self understanding process with familial connections during pregnancy.

The purpose of this study was to examine (1) if sociocultural factors that are known to influence gender gap in mathematics achievement are gender equitable for Singaporean eighth grade students, (2) if there is a higher level of gender equitability in students' attitudes towards mathematics and (3) how sociocultural factors influence mathematics achievement for Singaporean eighth grade students. This study is based on 5,923 Singaporean eighth grade students who participated in TIMSS 2011 assessment. The study found that there were no statistically significant gender differences in 'parental involvement in education' and 'teacher efficacy.' There were no statistically significant gender differences in students' attitudes of 'like learning mathematics,' and 'value learning mathematics'. A significant gender difference was identified for the attitude of 'confident with mathematics.' The boys displayed a higher level of confidence in mathematics than the girls consistent with other study findings for Asian students. The degree of effect from 'parental involvement in education,' 'teacher efficacy,' and 'confident with mathematics' on mathematics achievement are found to be stronger for girls than boys. The finding implies that girls' mathematics achievement can benefit from having more positive encouragement and involvement of parents and teachers and strengthening confidence in mathematics.

남성들도 외모 추구스타일 변화, 그리고 외모관리행동과 그 추구가치에 상당한 변화가 나타났다고 보며 이에 대한 연구의 필요가 대두되었다. 이를 위해 남성들의 외모관리를 위한 정보 수용도와 이에 따른 추구가치별 특성을 분석하였다. 연구방법은 서울거주 직장인 남성 약 500명을 대상으로 온라인조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 다섯 가지 외모관리행동의 실용적 가치에 대한 추구 정도가 가장 높고, 미적 가치는 다른 두 개의 가치에 비해 외모관리행동 유형에 따라 매우 다르게 나타났다. 특히 피부관리 양식의 수용도는 다른 양식과는 달리 사회문화적 가치, 실용적 가치, 미적 가치 모두에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 미적가치 추구의 소극성과 실용적 가치와 사회문화적 가치의 중시 경향으로 나타났다. 헤어관리는 실용적 가치에 의해, 성형수술은 미적 가치에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 관리양식 부분에서는 피부관리 수용도만이 복합적 가치 추구에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 관리 양식별 마케팅으로는 헤어관리는 대규모 마케팅 캠페인이 오히려 효과적일 수 있으며, 성형 수술에 대한 비즈니스에 대해서는 좀 더 심미적 차원의 캠페인을 모색할 필요가 있다고 볼 수 있다.
