As the life-expectancy is ever-increasing, and the proportion of the elderly population is growing steadily in every society of the world, it is ever more important to establish what factors allow certain elderly people to age successfully and remain relatively independent while others grow old less successfully and require extensive intervention. However, there is no consensus yet as to what successful aging means. Researchers have defined successful aging in a variety of ways. This study attempted to define the concept of successful aging and to clarify some dimensions of it through literature review. Previous approaches of studying successful aging and related themes were examined. Early perspectives including activity, disengagement, and continuity theories, Selective Optimization with Compensation (SOC) model by Baltes and Baltes, three different conceptions of successful aging, that is, psychological well-being, physical health, and wisdom, and MacArthur research on successful aging have been reviewed for this study. The definition derived from the review is: Keeping up continuous developmental processes to achieve wisdom or ego-integrity, without suffering any major disabilities in either physical or mental functioning, while maintaining psychological well-being and employing SOC strategies, and participating in positive relationships with significant others. The dimensions of successful aging are 1) personal resources, including physical health, cognitive competences, self esteem, and social support 2) adaptation process of SOC, and 3) psychological aspects, including psychological well-being and wisdom.

This study focused on working women's perceptions of social attractiveness and their appearance management behavior. Social attractiveness is defined as individuals' achieved attractiveness which can be expressed through social expressive power or social skills rather than innate physical appearance. This study was empirically conducted through questionnaires distributed to 200 working women in South Korea. According to the results, the participants recognized four factors constituting social attractiveness: physical appearance management, business manners, social skills, and sexual attractiveness. When they were asked to assess themselves on the same measures, these characteristics were further classified into six factors: business manners, feminine attractiveness, fashion sense, sociability, communication skills, and active appearance management. Their self-perceived social attractiveness was found to be influenced by all these factors in the order of feminine attractiveness, business manners, sociability, communication skills. Based on the self-presentation tendencies, the participants were classified into various groups, including the passive management group, daily life-oriented management group, work-oriented management group, neutral group, and active management group. The relative importance of the social attractiveness components was found to differ by group, although working women in all groups rated weight management higher than appearance management behavior. This study has implications in that it facilitates an understanding of the concept of social attractiveness and also provides a foundation base in terms of beauty consulting and marketing for working women to improve their social attractiveness.

본 연구는 변화된 건강패러다임 속에서 치유환경에 대한 새로운 접근 방법을 모색하고, 특히 정신건강증진이라는 키워드 속에서 좀 더 확장된 치유환경의 특성을 개념화하고자 시작된 탐색연구로서 연구의 목적은 크게 두 가지로 나뉜다. 첫째는, 변화된 패러다임 속에서 건강과 정신건강 그리고 치유환경의 개념적 정의를 내리는 것이며 둘째는, 정신건강증진을 위한 물리적 환경의 치유적 특성을 도출하고 지표화하는 것이다. 이러한 목적 안에서 정신건강증진을 위한 치유환경의 개념을 지원할 수 있는 이론적 탐색을 시행하였는데, 건축학과 심리학 그리고 정신의학은 물론 인간과 환경간의 관계를 다루고 있는 건축철학 및 환경심리학 등 그 범위를 확대하여 관련 이론을 고찰, 융합적 시각으로서의 새로운 개념정립을 시도하였다. 본 연구에서 선행연구 및 이론적 탐색연구를 진행한 결과 범주화한 치유환경의 특성은, 1) 신체적 보호감 증진 2) 심리적 안정감 증진 3) 사회적 교류감 증진 4) 개인적 자존감 증진 등이다. 정신건강증진의 치유환경에 대한 개념적 확립은 실제적인 치유환경의 구현에 있어서 매우 중요한 작업이며, 이를 토대로 보다 구체적인 설계지표 및 가이드라인 개발 및 응용 연구가 진행될 수 있을 것이다.

This study was done to analyze and develop the concept of coping in patients receiving hemodialysis. The Hybrid Model of concept development was applied to develop a conceptual structure of coping in patients receiving hemodialysis, which included a field study carried out using an in-dept interview with 18 patients in the hemodialysis room of one general hospital in Seoul. Data-analysis was done in three phases as suggested by the Hybrid Model. Finally, by summarizing the results from each case, the attributes of coping, its dimensions, definition and structure were outlined. According to the results of the study, a conceptual structure of coping which centers around stressors, stress-appraisal, strategy of coping and new definitions of coping in patients receiving hemodialysis was suggested : The coping of patients receiving hemodialysis is a process that deals with physical, emotional, inter-personal, and role stress caused by hemodialysis due to renal failure. It has a series of phases which include a phase that appraises the stressful situation based on past experience of chronic disease management, one's remaining rears, the extent of family support, the extent of economic dependency, inter-personal support. education and uncertainty, and a phase of developing coping strategies that con be affected by social support and self esteem.

이 연구는 신체활동참여 한국 노인의 행복관련 성향을 측정하기 위해 (Happiness-enhancing Activities and Positive Practices Inventory; HAPPI)를 개념적으로 그리고 통계적으로 구인타당도(construct validity)를 검증하는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 Henricksen와 Stephens(2013)가 개발한 HAPPI 척도를 전문가가 참여한 검사내용에 기초한 증거를 문항분석을 통하여 검증하였으며, 신뢰도 분석, 탐색적 요인분석, 그리고 확인적 요인분석을 실시하여 타당도를 검증하였다. Cronbach's α로 내적일관성을 확인한 결과 모두 수용할 만한 것으로 나타났다. 구조방정식 모형을 적용하여 문항의 적합도를 검증한 결과 GFI=.925, CFI .962, TLI .953, 그리고 RMSEA .062으로 모두 적합하게 나타났으며 개념신뢰도(CR)와 평균분산추출지수(AVE)를 산출하여 수렴 및 판별 타당도를 확인되었다. 최종적으로 4요인(Other-focused, Personal recreation and interests, Achievement, Self-Concordant Work, Spiritual and thought-related) 16문항의 측정척도는 신체활동참여 한국 노인을 위한 행복증진활동의 성향을 측정하는 다차원적 행복증진활동 척도의 구인타당도를 만족하는 척도로 확인되었다. 결론적으로 HAPPI는 신체활동에 참여하고 있는 한국노인들에게 적용가능한 척도로 확인되었다.

In this study, the analogies on saturated solution generated by elementary school teachers were analyzed in their numbers, materials, and types aspects. The results were also compared with those of general and science-gifted elementary students. A test on the self-generating analogies on the target concept was administered to 111 elementary school teachers, 60 fifth graders at four science-gifted education institutes and 91 fifth graders at three elementary schools. The results revealed that the teachers made more analogies than the general and science-gifted students. In general, both the teachers and the students tended to make the analogies using the materials in family, riding, digestive, and school situations. However, there were a little difference between the teachers and the students in the cases of the analogies using other situations including body/physical activity. Similarly to the cases of the students, the teachers made more functional analogies than structural or structural/functional ones and did more concrete ones than abstract ones. However, they made more verbal, artificial, and enriched analogies than the students. They also made more highly systematic analogies than the general students, and did less ones than the science-gifted students. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.

Purpose: To explain the concept of postpartum weight retention and to analyze factor effect on it. Method: A total of 20 studies related postpartum weight retention were selected in the year of 1988-2001 and analysis was done. Result: A demographic factor like parity, age, social and economic level and life style such as exercise, diet, breast feeding are influential factor on postpartum retention weight. But parts of them don't agree the same results. Meanwhile, in some studies, psychological factor like women's self esteem related to postpartum retention weight, body image change, depressing is found to be very related. As a result, postpartum overweight gain could be a bad factor of physical and mental health. In Korea, we have few studies related to them. Conclusion: It is required to do many-sided and deep studies about aspects of postpartum retention weight and the factor that effect on it. Postpartum retention weight should be approached by controling weight from the period of pregnancy. And it would rather be researched through individual approach considered women's various demographic, social-cultural and physical level than be required standardized level of weight gain.
