Chaotic dynamics is an active research area in fields such as biology, physics, sociology, psychology, physiology, and engineering. Interest in chaos is also expanding to the social sciences, such as politics, economics, and societal events prediction. Most people pursue happiness, both spiritual and physical in many cases. However, happiness is not easy to define, because people differ in how they perceive it. Happiness can exist in mind and body. Therefore, we need to be happy in both simultaneously to achieve optimal happiness. To do this, we need to synchronize mind and body. In this paper, we propose a chaotic synchronization method in a mathematical model of happiness organized by a second-order ordinary differential equation with external force. This proposed mathematical happiness equation is similar to Duffing's equation, because it is derived from that equation. We introduce synchronization method from our mathematical happiness model by using the derived Duffing equation. To achieve chaotic synchronization between the human mind and body, we apply an idea of mind/body unity originating in Oriental philosophy. Of many chaotic synchronization methods, we use only coupled synchronization, because this method is closest to representing mind/body unity. Typically, coupled synchronization can be applied only to non-autonomous systems, such as a modified Duffing system. We represent the result of synchronization using a differential time series mind/body model.

The purpose of this study was to develop a Body & Mind Integration Program that combines yoga and tea meditation, and to prove the fact that it can enhance the happiness for middle-aged housewives. In order to do that, it was devised for a one-group pretest-posttest design and implemented a pretest, a treatment(that was a 12-session program), and a posttest. The results of the 16 middle-aged housewives were used to prove the effect of this program. The main results of this study are as follows: First, physical self-concept(t=-4.609, p<.001), mindful attention awareness(t=-2.804, p<.05) and tea life practices(t=-4.748, p<.001) of the middle-aged housewives have been improved after the implementation of Body & Mind Integration Program. Secondly, the Body & Mind Integration Program has provided the chance for the middle-aged housewives to newly recognize their physical and psychological ability so that they can appreciate their lives more happily and realized their inner strength. In the final analysis, it is the task for all of us to develop and supply the kind of program which helps the middle-aged housewives not only to keep the efforts for their healthy body & mind, but also to get rid of the negative feelings and tensions which happen from personal relationships so that they can find happiness in their lives continuously.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the components and nature of happiness in middle-aged women in Korea. Methods: Thirty middle-aged women living in metropolitan Seoul and Gyeonggi and Chungcheong provinces agreed to participate in this study. The data were collected through in-depth interviews with the participants in one-on-one settings. The data were analyzed qualitative using Colaizzi's method of phenomenology. Results: The three theme clusters were extracted from the raw data, along with 13 themes and 138 meaningful sentences and phrases. The three happiness theme clusters in middle-aged women were "live healthy for stability," "rule one's mind for harmony," and "activate hopes for self-esteem." The first theme cluster included healthy life, economic stability, physical youth, and positive thought. The second theme cluster included that harmonious family, ruling of mind, my position as invisible person in social relationships, and precious relationships to support. The last theme included the center of one's life is oneself, a sense of accomplishment, self-improvement, recognition of one's worth and rest for one self. The three theme clusters were associated with the existence, relatedness, and growth (ERG) of ERG areas, respectively. Conclusions: We conclude that the core components of happiness in middle-aged women are to live healthy and mind-ruled and activate hope. The nature of happiness is egocentric stability in middle-aged women. The results suggest that theme clusters might be used to develop a scale for measuring happiness in middle-aged women. This will be helpful to assess the psychosocial status of middle-aged women in Korea.

본 연구에서는 신체-정서-마음-영혼의 전일적이고 통합적인 건강을 지향하는 요가심리학의 궁극적인 목표는 개인의 심층에 존재하는 긍정적 잠재력의 개발에 있음을 강조하면서, 이를 긍정심리학의 맥락에서 새롭게 조명해보았다. 이를 위해 요가심리학이 추구하는 자기실현의 내용을 소개하고, 집중과 몰입이라는 요가의 방법을 통해 개인이 경험하는 기쁨과 엑스타시를 구체적으로 살펴보았다. 또한 행복의 의미를 긍정심리학의 관점에서 기술하고, 집중과 몰입이 깊어졌을 때 도달할 수 있는 의식상태의 변화와 행복의 수준이 어떤 관련이 있는지도 논의하였다. 행복, 지복, 엑스타시는 요가심리학과 긍정심리학의 주된 관심사이기 때문에 서로 일맥상통하는 듯이 보인다. 그러나 요가심리학에서는 긍정적 정서를 넘어서서 무집착, 초연함, 평정심을 가장 가치로운 덕성으로 삼고 있다. 요가심리학적 관점에서 볼 때, 평정심은 고요한 중립의 상태로서 오랫동안의 고된 요가수련의 정점에 위치하고 있다. 이는 긍정심리학이 아직 포섭하고 있지 못한 마음의 심층에 놓인 상태로서 긍정심리학에 중요한 시사점을 제공하고 있다.

Purpose: Core competencies for becoming a good physician have been the focus of recent discussion. Understanding students' state of mind should be included in this analysis. Thus, the purpose of this study was to review recent research papers on subjective well-being in medical education and propose some suggestions. Methods: A selective search was conducted of the literature that has been published since 2000 in the Medline, Riss4U, ERIC, and KoreaMed databases using the search terms "happiness", "subjective well-being", "satisfaction", and "stress". Thirty seven studies were included in this review. Each was categorized according to 3 subjects (satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect). Results: Most studies showed relatively high levels of distress in medical students, which was related to academic worries. Although medical students were under a great deal of distress, they regarded help-seeking behavior for their distress as weakness or something negative. Conclusion: To decrease medical students' distress and sustain their well-being, there should be a change in students' awareness through curriculum, teaching methods, and coping strategies in medical education.

이 연구는 감사노트 작성이 대학생의 감사성향과 행복감에 긍정적인 효과가 있는지를 규명하고 감사노트 작성 경험에 대한 의미를 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 연구를 위해 G시에 소재한 K대학교 재학생 131명(감사노트를 작성한 실험집단 68명, 감사노트를 작성하지 않은 비교집단 63명)을 대상으로 감사성향 및 행복감에 대한 사전·사후검사를 실시하였다. 또한 질적 연구를 위해 마음수업 수강자의 감사노트, 감사노트 소감문, 심층설문, 연구자의 관찰일지 등을 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 연구결과 감사성향 및 행복감은 감사노트 작성 여부에 따라 집단간에 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 즉 감사노트 작성을 경험한 실험집단이 비교집단보다 감사성향 및 행복감이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 감사노트 작성의 경험의 의미로는 긍정적인 생각, 감사하는 습관, 성찰의 시간, 행복발견 등으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 대학생의 감사성향 및 행복감에 영향을 미치는 제 변인에 대한 시사점을 제공하며 대학생의 감사노트 작성 프로그램 확대 필요성을 보여주는 것이라 하겠다.
