본 연구는 한국인이 보이는 욕구-현실 충돌에서 나타나는 극복 노력 현상(불굴의 의지)을 한국인의 문화적 특성으로 설명하고자 하였다. 구체적으로 자신의 욕구와 현실 간의 충돌이 발생한 상황에서 개인의 주체성 정도에 따라 그 상황을 대하는 행동 양식이 달라지는지를 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 총 217명의 참여자가 온라인 실험에 참여하였고, 최종적으로 156명의 데이터가 분석되었다. 참여자는 주체성 척도에 응답한 뒤, 상충적 요소가 존재하는 의사결정 시나리오에 노출되었다. 시나리오는 집 구매와 결혼식장 계약 시나리오였고, 각 시나리오에서는 중요하게 여겨지는 두 개의 가치가 시장에서 서로 상충되도록 설정되었다. 참여자는 해당 시나리오를 읽고 각 가치에 대해 스스로가 원하는 수준을 입력하였다. 그 뒤, 시나리오 속 대리인이 참여자가 원하는 수준의 후보지를 찾지 못한 상황을 접하게 된다. 이후, 참여자는 스스로 자신이 직접 나서 추가적인 노력을 할 의향에 대해 응답하였다. 연구 결과, 참여자의 주체성 정도는 추가적인 노력 정도에 정적인 관계를 나타냈다. 또한 현실 한계를 초과하여 원하는 수준(기대 불일치)의 정도는 주체성을 통제한 상태에서 추가적인 노력 정도에 대해 비선형(역 U형)의 영향력을 나타냈다. 나아가 주체성과 기대 불일치 간의 상호작용효과가 유의하였다. 구체적으로 주체성이 낮은 개인은 기대 불일치 정도와 종속변인 간의 관계가 유의하지 않았으나, 주체성이 높은 개인은 기대 불일치 정도와 종속변인 간의 비선형 관계가 유의하였다. 연구 결과를 바탕으로 욕구-현실 충돌 장면에서의 한국인의 심리적 특성(주체성)의 역할과 기능에 대해 논하였다.

This paper aims to analyze factors influencing earnings of workers in Vietnam using provincial-level data from 2016 to 2018. We show the important determinants of earnings of workers of more than 15 years old including working hour, labor force, life expectancy, education, regulation measured by Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) and especially Industry 4.0, our major depart from literature proxies by government expenditure on science and technology, number of phone lines, and number of internet users. Working hours are a typical measurement of quantity of labor supplied. Labor force represents market size from the supply side. Life expectancy measures the health of laborers, a physical quality measure of workers. PCI stands for institutional status of the locality. Two most important factors of our interest are education, representing qualification of workers, and Industry 4.0, reflecting the new working environment of workers. By estimating a robust standard error fixed-effect model, we have evidence that all factors are significant in explaining earnings of Vietnamese workers. Education and IR4.0 play an important role in earnings of workers of Vietnam. Results also provide an estimation of Vietnam's labor supply in the context of Industry 4.0. In addition, findings contribute to explain the income discrepancy among Vietnamese provinces.

In this paper, an attempt has been made to examine the pattern of mortality in Korea during 1970~80. By applying the age-sex specific mortality rates quoted from 1978~79 life tables for Korea published by NBOS, EPB to those of the West pattern of regional model life tables and the far eastern pattern of model life tables for developing countries, life expectancy at birth were calculated. Also the author reviewed the trends of death rates, life expectancy and cause of death using vital registration data and other materials. Summarized results are as follows; 1. Crude death rates in Korea was reduced to one fifth in the 1983 compared to that in 1920's. Life expectancy also improved to almost double in 1985 compared to 1920's. But the difference in the life expectancy between male and female increased during that period and it was recorded as 6.4 years in 1985. This discrepancy was mainly due to the different tempo of decreasing in mortality level by sex, particularly, for the age 40 and above. 2. For the pattern of mortality in Korea, it showed that female mortality could accounted closer to the West pattern model life tables. There were high similarity between actual pattern prevalent in Korea and West pattern. And its coefficient of variance was also very low. However for the case of male, it was difficult to find the exact model life tables for explaining the actual situation on the male mortality pattern which means exist considerable dissimilarity in older ages. The Far eastern pattern of U.N. model life tables show better results than West pattern, however, the deviation of the pattern to actual was severe. Also in Far eastern pattern, high coefficient of variance was existed. Furthermore it was found in the paper that the mortality level of Korean male for the age 40 and above were much higher than that of Far eastern pattern which was reflected the high mortality of the male adult in Far east region. 3. The analysis of cause of death showed that circulatory disease such as cerebrovascular disease and hypertensive disease accounted for the leading cause of death in Korea for the age 40 and above. There should he paid special attention to chronic retrogressive diseases for the older age groups. For younger age groups, injury and poisoning were reported as important cause of death.

Due to the lack of information, medical tourists are regarded to be at high risk. Prior medical tourism research has found that various types of perceived risks have a significant impact on medical tourists' purchase behavior. Even though medical tourism is predicted to increase, there is a lack of behavioral research to explain how perceived risks affect medical tourists' purchase behavior. In the context of Korean medical tourism, this study attempts to evaluate the effects of multi-level (macro, organizational, and personal) factors on medical tourists' perceived risks and purchase intentions. A conceptual model and hypotheses were built and empirically validated to investigate links between multi-level characteristics, perceived risks, and purchasing intentions. The data for this study was collected from Chinese tourists using a questionnaire. The impact of cognitive country image, affective country image, and medical service quality on fundamental risk is confirmed by statistical testing. Surprisingly, expectancy discrepancy risk is influenced only by cognitive country image and information search capabilities. Both fundamental and expectation discrepancy risks lower medical tourists' purchase intentions. The findings of this study show that a multi-level strategy is required to investigate the links between perceived risks and medical tourism purchasing intentions based on macro, organizational, and personal factors.
