Bonneh, Cooperman and Sagi (2001) reported that when a global moving pattern was superimposed on high-contrast stationary stimuli, the latter disappeared and reappeared alternatively for periods of several seconds. They named this as motion-induced-blindness. In present research a rotating transparent cylinder composed of white dots was superimposed on a stationary green dots. When observers watched these stimuli wearing a red filter on his/her right eye, the stationary green dots disappeared or reappeared as did in Bonneh et al. The new MIB was observed only when the cylinder rotated and observers weared a red filter. As the luminance contrast of the green dots and that of white dots against the background reduced, and as the number of green dots and white dots decreased, the duration of MIB reduced. Also, the relative depth of the rotating cylinder and the stationary green dots affected the duration of MIB. These results imply that the new MIB is different from the MIB which was observed by Bonneh et al and that the new MIB cannot be explained by binocular rivalry. Further more, the results imply that the later stage of visual information processing is involved in the new MIB.

This study attempts to understand the mediating effect of health self-efficacy in the relationship between health consciousness and health promoting behavior of nursing college students. The subjects of the study were 255 nursing college students attending nursing departments at four universities located in G city and J province. Collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 25.0, and Sobel tests were conducted to verify the mediating effect. As a result, health self-efficacy showed a partial mediating effect between health consciousness and health promoting behavior(Z=5.54, p<.001). The higher the health consciousnes(β=.20, p<.001) and health self-efficacy(β=.39, p<.001), the higher the level of health promoting behavior. And the explanatory power(R2) explaining the health promoting behavior was 48%. Therefore, in order to improve the health promoting behavior of nursing college students, it is necessary to prepare an effective strategy to not only increase health consciousness but also strengthen health self-efficacy at the same time.
