본 연구에서는 범죄발생이 사회불안에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 2개의 연구가 수행되었다. 연구 1에서는 286명(남자 160명, 여자 126명)을 대상으로 지각된 범죄 심각성, 지각된 범죄 발생빈도, 지각된 사회불안을 조사하였다. 그리고 이 세 변인들에 대한 시대적 변화를 추정하도록 하였다. 그 결과, 응답자들은 비교적 범죄의 발생이 많다고 지각했으며, 범죄가 약간 심각한 수준이라고 지각하였다. 그리고 사회가 불안하다고 보고 있었다. 또한 과거에 비해 현재 그리고 미래를 거치는 동안 범죄 발생이 증가하고 범죄가 더 심각해질 것이라고 예측하였다. 또한 사회불안 역시 같은 경향을 보였으며 세 변수의 변화패턴이 매우 유사하였다. 범죄 심각성과 범죄 발생빈도 추정이 사회불안에 영향을 미치는가를 알아보기 위해 단계적 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 범죄발생빈도와 범죄심각성 추정이 사회불안에 유의미하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 연구 2에서는 259명(남자 141명, 여자 118명)을 대상으로 7개의 범죄유형에 해당하는 25개 범죄의 발생빈도를 추정하도록 하고 사회불안을 측정하였다. 그리고 7개 범죄 유형이 사회불안에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 단계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 강력범죄만이 사회불안에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 강력범죄 중 방화만이 사회불안에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 의의와 제한점이 논의되었다.

Contemporary societal and environmental transformations coincide with the emergence of novel mental health challenges. anxiety disorder, a chronic and highly debilitating illness, presents with diverse clinical manifestations. Epidemiological investigations indicate a global prevalence of 5%, with an additional 10% exhibiting subclinical symptoms. Notably, 9% of adolescents demonstrate clinical features. Untreated, anxiety disorder exerts profound detrimental effects on individuals, families, and the broader community. Therefore, it is very meaningful to predict anxiety disorder through machine learning algorithm analysis model. The main research content of this paper is the analysis of the prediction model of anxiety disorder by machine learning algorithms. The research purpose of machine learning algorithms is to use computers to simulate human learning activities. It is a method to locate existing knowledge, acquire new knowledge, continuously improve performance, and achieve self-improvement by learning computers. This article analyzes the relevant theories and characteristics of machine learning algorithms and integrates them into anxiety disorder prediction analysis. The final results of the study show that the AUC of the artificial neural network model is the largest, reaching 0.8255, indicating that it is better than the other two models in prediction accuracy. In terms of running time, the time of the three models is less than 1 second, which is within the acceptable range.

Animal experiments have been widely conducted in the life sciences for more than a century, and have long been a subject of ethical and societal controversy due to the deliberate infliction of harm upon sentient animals. However, the harmful use of animals may also negatively impact the mental health of researchers themselves. We sought to evaluate the anxiety level of researchers engaged in animal use to analyse the mental stress from animal testing. The State Anxiety Scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used to evaluate how researchers feel when they conduct animal, as opposed to non-animal, based experiments (95 non-animal and 98 animal testing researchers). The Trait Anxiety Scale of STAI was employed to measure proneness to anxiety, namely the base trait of the researchers. Additionally, the information on sex, age, education, income, and total working periods was collected. While the Trait Anxiety scores were comparable ($41.5{\pm}10.9$ versus $42.9{\pm}10.1$, p = 0.3682, t-test), the State Anxiety scores were statistically significantly higher for animal users than non-animal users ($45.1{\pm}10.7$ versus $41.3{\pm}9.4$, p = 0.011). This trend was consistent for both male and female. Notably, younger animal testers (${\leq}30$ years of age) with less work experience (${\leq}2$ years) and lower income level (${\leq}27,000$ USD) exhibited higher anxiety scores, whereas these factors did not affect the anxiety level of non-animal users. The present study demonstrated that participation in animal experiments can negatively impact the mental health of researchers.

Increasing life expectancy leads to a rise in the prevalence of aging-related mental diseases and a concomitant increase in the financial and societal pressures related to their prevention and management. This issue is attracting increasing attention from researchers. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether a healing program in a forest environment is effective for improving cognitive function, depression, anxiety, and stress in elderly people. A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. The experimental group consisted of 18 males and females aged 60 to 80 years who participated in a forest healing program for seven days, while the comparison group comprised 10 people with similar demographics. For the process of data analysis, this study performed a cross-analysis to determine the homogeneity of the data and carried out the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, a nonparametric statistical test, to verify the significance of each group. Participation in the forest healing program led to a significant improve-ment in cognitive function (p=0.030). The levels of depression decreased, but this result was not statistically significant. The levels of anxiety decreased significantly (p=0.004). The mean cortisol score, a measurement of stress, decreased, but it was not statistically significant. These findings confirmed the effectiveness of this program for improving certain mental conditions of elderly people, and affirmed that the use of long-term forest healing programs can be expected to alleviate national pressures created by aging societies.

Objective : This study aims to investigate the concept of mental health literacy, its evolution, and its significance in modern healthcare practices. Methods : This paper reviews the evolution of mental health literacy, examining pertinent studies both within the country and internationally. It also addresses the limitations and challenges associated with mental health diagnoses. Results : Findings from various studies indicate that public awareness and recognition of mental health issues are generally inadequate. Identified causes of mental health conditions by study participants point to personal and societal influences, while biological factors are frequently neglected. In South Korea, there is a notable preference for non-professional support over psychiatric interventions. Conclusion : This study highlights the growing importance of mental health literacy in today's society, emphasizing the need for accurate understanding of mental health issues and effective treatment approaches. Similar to physical health literacy, mental health literacy should be considered a basic human right. This perspective marks a shift from a knowledge monopoly held by experts to the inclusion and active involvement of 'people with lived experience' in the mental health service system.

This study investigates the perception and adoption of ChatGPT (a large language model (LLM)-based chatbot created by OpenAI) among Korean users and assesses its potential as the next disruptive innovation. Drawing on previous literature, the study proposes perceived intelligence and perceived anthropomorphism as key differentiating factors of ChatGPT from earlier AI-based chatbots. Four individual motives (i.e., perceived usefulness, ease of use, enjoyment, and trust) and two societal motives (social influence and AI anxiety) were identified as antecedents of ChatGPT acceptance. A survey was conducted within two Korean online communities related to artificial intelligence, the findings of which confirm that ChatGPT is being used for both utilitarian and hedonic purposes, and that perceived usefulness and enjoyment positively impact the behavioral intention to adopt the chatbot. However, unlike prior expectations, perceived ease-of-use was not shown to exert significant influence on behavioral intention. Moreover, trust was not found to be a significant influencer to behavioral intention, and while social influence played a substantial role in adoption intention and perceived usefulness, AI anxiety did not show a significant effect. The study confirmed that perceived intelligence and perceived anthropomorphism are constructs that influence the individual factors that influence behavioral intention to adopt and highlights the need for future research to deconstruct and explore the factors that make ChatGPT "enjoyable" and "easy to use" and to better understand its potential as a disruptive technology. Service developers and LLM providers are advised to design user-centric applications, focus on user-friendliness, acknowledge that building trust takes time, and recognize the role of social influence in adoption.

Sleep disorders such as insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and restless legs syndrome (RLS) are very common disorders and may cause significant burden in terms of individual as well as societal aspects. Sleep insufficiency from such sleep disorders may cause deleterious effects on daily work life and may be associated with other major medical or psychiatric disorders including cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, depression, and anxiety disorder. Various motor or occupational accident may result from the sleep problems. In addition, recent researches provide the method to evaluate the lost productivity time in terms of absenteeism and presenteeism. Moreover, several studies on cost-effectiveness of treatment of sleep disorders show that it is cost-effective.

Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and its associated societal responses are anticipated to have wide-ranging effects on youth development and mental health. Depression, anxiety, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are the three most common mental health problems among university students. Many factors that can threaten mental health during the outbreak affect these three conditions, as well as sleep conditions, in undergraduate students. Thus, determining how these abrupt changes in students' circumstances impact their mental health is very important from a public health perspective. Methods: We investigated the usual conditions and changes in ADHD symptoms during the outbreak, in relation to depressive and sleep-related symptoms among undergraduate students. A total of 252 students, primarily juniors, completed the online survey. Results: The results showed that 12% of the students exceeded the cut-off score of the ADHD questionnaire before the pandemic. Approximately 6%-21% of the university students, especially those with ADHD traits, rated their ADHD behaviors as worse during the outbreak than that before the outbreak. Conclusion: Female students and undergraduates with ADHD traits are more susceptible to experiencing further deterioration of ADHD (inattention) symptoms during the pandemic. In cases where it is difficult to intervene with ADHD symptoms, approaching circadian rhythm or depression will be of considerable clinical use.

논문은 리안(李安)영화가 진행하는 여성 재현(응시)의식을 살펴보고자 한다. 미국 사회에서 활동하고 있는 리안의 문화적 정체성에 주목하며, 때로는 주류가 아닌 주변인으로 위축되고 억눌려졌던 자신의 불안한 위치와 정체성을 여성과 동일시했다고 하는 감독의 영화의식 속에서 '여성'을 들여다보고자 한다. 논문은 서양사회에서 대만인 디아스포라 동양 남성 감독 리안이 영화에서 '여성'을 어떻게 재현하고 있는지, 동양 남성으로서 가부장제 남성 의식을 내면화하고 있는 그가 '여성'에 대해 어떤 응시를 진행하는지 주변인(이방인)으로서 중심을 어떻게 해체하고 있는지 그의 방식을 살펴보고자 한다. 리안 영화는 여성들이 국가권력에 의해 구국의식 안으로 포획되고 있는 지점을 연출하고 있다. 국가는 그녀들에게 구국이라는 대의의 책무와 책임을 강제하고, 이런 국가에 그녀들은 때로 균열을 진행한다. 식민 조국의 해방에 적극 동참하지만 그 속에서 국가가 보여주는 기만성을 폭로하고, 또 생명을 조작하며 안보 강화만을 주장하는 국가의식의 허위성을 폭로한다. 또 그의 영화는 동 서양의 부권(父權)과 부권(夫權)을 해체하기도 한다. 감독은 중국 여성의 신체가 식민자 앞에서 발가벗겨져 전시되고 구국이라는 이름으로 강제되는지 주목한다. 그녀들의 신체는 가부장제 이데올로기에 억눌려 이상 징후를 보이거나 아들을 낳는 생산의 도구로 강요되고, 중화 전통 문화 아래 감정의 표출을 억압당하며 절제된 감정의 신체로 표상되고 있다.
