Certain professionals face repeated exposure to traumatic events throughout their career. Although typically linked to pathological outcomes, research has identified sustained positive benefits and posttraumatic growth (PTG) as consistent posttrauma outcomes in occupational exposed to trauma. This study investigated the association of occupation, subjective psychological distress to a traumatic event, and demographic characteristics with posttraumatic growth in emergency workers (firefighters, rescue, and ambulance personnel), subway operators, and child protective service workers. The study led to the following conclusions: First, all three groups are risk groups of PTSD, especially, subway operators demonstrated the highest degree. Child protective service workers demonstrated the highest degree of PTG and emergency workers and subway operators followed respectively. Second, vicarious trauma and PTG were significantly correlated, in particular, invasion and avoidance were more highly correlated. Third, multivariate analysis revealed that occupation, invasion, avoidance, religion, and sex were significantly associated with PTG. Discussion addresses the need to serve mental health service and to apply concept of PTG for occupations exposed to trauma.

This study aims to explore the theoretical and practical potentials of the late modern social space theories concerning deinstitutionalization issues in the field of the Mental Health. Deinstitutionalization, the process of converting the living space mentally ill people from facilities to the community, is a meaningful event realizing the modern ideology of human rights and welfare in social work territory. Although the continuos and accumulative efforts to realize the ideas of deinstitutionalization, which have focused on the ideological validity and the conditions and administrative supports needed for materialization, however, discussing the issues without analyzing late modern societal space neglects the constraints of the generic and comprehensive 'space' in which the deinstitutionalization can actually occur. Thus, this study attempts the following by analyzing the concrete reality of social space: focusing on deinstitutionalization in a larger social context, different from previous studies that discussed it on a normative and fragmentary level; and more concretely analyzing the realistic limits and challenges facing deinstitutionalization. In order to do this, previous literature related to deinstitutionalization is laid out and theories of late modern social space are studied. Based on this, the kinds of phenomenon that occur when this sort of late modern social space meets with the deinstitutionalization of mentally ill people are analyzed. Finally, based on the results, the study suggests several implications to realize the rights and welfare of mentally in the late modern space concerning deinstitutionalization.

Many survivors of sexual violence disclose their experience to others. When they receive negative social reactions, this can be a traumatic event for the survivor where their trust towards others is violated and can cause posttraumatic cognitions and depression. Likewise, institutional betrayal, or negative reactions from trusted institutions regarding the disclosure of sexual victimization can be a traumatic event for the survivor and is associated with depression as well. However, studies investigating the mechanism underlying the relationship between institutional betrayal and depression is yet limited. Therefore, based on cognitive behavioral theory (CBT), which is known as the most effective approach to date for understanding and treating posttraumatic symptoms, this study examined if posttraumatic cognitions mediate the relationship between institutional betrayal and depression. Questionnaires were administered to 462 women who had experienced institutional betrayal to their sexual victimization. Results showed that institutional betrayal had an effect on depression only through negative cognitions about the self and world. This suggests the importance of identifying and treating trauma-related cognitions in order to prevent or cure depression of those who had experienced institutional betrayal to their sexual victimization. Limitations and implications of this study are also discussed.

In early 20th Century Neo Art Movement and Fuctionalim in Europe effected to create new tendency as Modern Design and technical development through Industrial Revolution offered technical background to realize Modern Design. All these things were basic to establish 1920s and the concept as Modern Design had been established at this time in field of Architecture and design. Thubular-steel Chair which used industrial material based on social andtechnical circumstance came out as an epochal event and which symbolize Modern Design have enlarged their concept with 1920s European Dwelling Space. According to each tendency arrange characteristics as classifying on the society-cultural spatial plastic technical sides multiple dwelling house and tubular-steel chair for low income brackets have characteristic of (1) the pursuit of social functionalism design for public(socity-cultural characteristics) (2) the pursuit of simplicity based on functionalism (plastic charcteristics) (3) the standardization for mass production (technical characteristc). In conclusion the characteristics of tubular-steel chair which correspond with dwelling space in 1920's is presented a type for relation between furniture and space which correspond with formating in the formative period of Modern-design.

Biases and errors in the human being's reasoning process have been studied continuously by the researchers, especially psychlogists and social scientists. These bias phenomenon is classified on the basis of the origin, i. e. motivation and cognition. Furthermore the necessity of research on the bias in the management and management information system areas in increased more and more recently, which have their academic backgrounds in the psychology and social science. The biased information stream is transformed into the systematic error due to the motivation and cognitive bias of human-being, then its resulting phenomena are as follows; 1. the availability of salient information 2. preconceived ideas or theories about peoples and event 3. anchoring and perseverence phenomena. In order to reduce the information errors, Satty suggested the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) that is the subject of this paper and that is widely used for evaluation of complex decision making alternatives. THerefore this paper studies AHP's effects and its limitations in applying to the management area. Thus this paper compared the performances of the 3 models : 1 the traditional additive regression model. 2 regression model using the factor score, and 3 the regression model with AHP. As a result, 3 models produce the different outcomes.

본 연구는 '의도(Intention)는 행동을 예측할 수 있다'는 사회 심리학자들의 연구에 근간을 두고 사회적 기업가적 의도(Social Entrepreneurial Intention)에 영향을 미치는 요소들이 무엇인지를 규명하고자 하였다. 그동안 기업가적 의도(Entrepreneurial Intention)에 대한 많은 연구들에서 Ajzen의 계획된 행동이론(Theory of Planned Behavior: TPB)과 Shapero의 기업가정신행동모델(Shapero's Model of the Entrepreneurial Event: SEE)에 근간하여 이루어졌다. 이러한 연구에 기반하여 본 연구는 사회적 기업가정신 맥락에서 사회적 공감(Compassion), 도덕적 의무감(Moral Obligation), 사회적 지지에 대한 인식(Perceived Social Support)이 사회적 기업가적 의도에 영향을 미치는 요소임을 밝히고자 하였다. 본 연구는 자발적으로 사회적 기업가정신 및 기업가정신 과목 수강을 선택한 대학생 271명을 대상으로 하였으며 회귀분석을 통해 가설검증을 하였다. 공감능력(인지적 공감, 정서적 공감, 사회문제 공감)과 주관적 규범으로의 도덕적 의무감은 사회적 기업가적 의도에 영향을 미치며, 외부 환경에 대한 인식 즉 사회적 지지에 대한 인식의 정도에 따라 사회적 기업가적 의도는 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 기존의 사회적 기업가정신에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 규명하는 연구들이 주로 기존 기업가정신 연구에서 사용된 변수를 사용함으로써 사회적 기업가정신의 특성을 잘 설명하지 못한다는 한계를 가지고 있었다. 본 연구는 공감, 도덕적 의무감, 사회적 지지에 대한 인식이 의도(Intention)에 영향요소임을 밝힘으로써 사회적 기업가적 의도 연구 분야에 기여했다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 사회적 기업가적 의도를 파악하는데 있어서 학생들만을 대상으로 한 것은 본 연구의 한계점이라고 할 수 있다.

Robotics has emerged as an important field for the future. It is our vision that robots in future will be able to transcend these precincts and work side by side humans for the greater good of mankind. We developed a face robot for this purpose. However, Life like robots demands a certain level of intelligence. Some scientists have proposed an event based learning approach, in which the robot can be taken as a small child and through learning from surrounding entities develops its own personality. In fact some scientists have proposed an entire new personality of the robot itself in which robot can have its own internal states, intentions, beliefs, desires and feelings. Our approach should not only be to develop a robot personality model but also to understand human behavior and incorporate it into the robot model. Human's personality is very complex and rests on many factors like its physical surrounding, its social surrounding, and internal states and beliefs etc. This paper discusses the development of this platform to evaluate this and develop a standard by a society based approach including the cultural paradigm. For this purpose the fuzzy control theory is used. Since the fuzzy theory is very near human analytical thinking it provides a very good platform to develop such a model.

Previous studies on the vast increase in suicide mortality in Southeast Asia have indicated that suicide rates increase in parallel with a rise in unemployment or during periods of economic recession. This paper examines the effects of economic recession on suicidal rates amongst agriculture, fisheries, and forestry workers in Korea. Monthly time-series gross domestic product (GDP) data were linked with suicidal rates gathered from the cause of death records between1993-2008. Data were analyzed using generalized additive models to analyze trends, while a polynomial lag model was used to assess the unconstrained time lag effects of changes in GDP on suicidal rate. We found that there were significant inverse correlations between changes in GDP and suicide for a time lag of one to four months after the occurrence of economic event. Furthermore, it was evident that the overall relative risks of suicide were high enough to bring about social concern.
