By analyzing a national survey of public understanding of science and technology, this paper attempts to examine public perceptions of scientists and engineers in Korea. A special attention is given to the gap in the view of scientists and engineers across generation, gender, and class fields (or major fields). This paper shows that generation has the strongest effect on public perceptions of scientists and engineers among all the socio-demographic factors examined in this study. Those over 50 are more likely to have the conventional idealized images of scientists and the stereotypical negative images of scientists simultaneously, while the 20s are less likely to accept the idealized image of scientists. The survey result thus may suggest that the younger generation began to depart from a patriotic and moral description of scientists and engineers-for the younger generation, science and engineering is losing moral respect but becomes perceived as an ordinary occupation. Contrary to the popular belief, however, gender has little effect on public perceptions of scientists and engineers. This finding questions the assertion that female students possess more negative attitudes toward scientists and engineers than male students, and thus are reluctant to develop careers related to science and engineering. By uncovering that class fields (or major areas) have no effect on the image of scientists, this study also call into question the assertion in the science wars that the inadequate appreciation of science particularly among those who do not major in science and engineering is responsible for inadequate support for science and technology.

The present study tested if individual speakers showing great sound change in segments (i.e., vowels and fricatives) also had innovative changing patterns in suprasegmental properties (i.e., lexical pitch accents) in Kyungsang Korean. The acoustic analysis at a group level first confirmed the presence of group level differences in distinguishing /ɨ-ʌ/ and /s-s'/ both of which had different phonemic distinction from Seoul Korean. Younger speakers had more innovative segmental change than older speakers, and even within the younger generation, female speakers produced more innovative phonetic variants than male speakers. Regarding the individual observation within the younger group, the younger speakers with large acoustic distinction in vowels and fricatives also showed acoustically less distinct accent patterns, indicating the innovative sound change pattern consistent across segment and suprasegmental properties. The group and individual observations suggested that linguistic innovators introduced new phonetic variants with consistent degree of changing pattern between segment and suprasegmental properties.

SNS(social network service) 이용환경의 변화 및 증가에 따라 소비자들은 SNS를 일상의 일부로 받아들이고 있으며, 인터넷을 기반으로 상호소통하는 활동과 영향력은 지속적으로 확대되고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 SNS를 통해서 형성될 수 있는 사회자본과 소비자들의 정서적 웰빙 수준의 차이점을 고찰하고자 한다. 또한 SNS 이용 이유 및 활용도는 소비자들마다 상이하게 나타날 수 있는 점을 고려하여 본 연구에서는 세대별 차이를 살펴보았다. 즉, SNS를 통해 나타날 수 있는 사회적 자본과 정서적 웰빙의 형태는 세대별로 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 검증하였다. 본 연구는 SNS사용 경험이 있는 소비자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 최종 83부의 표본을 활용하여 세대 간 사회자본 및 정서적웰빙의 효과를 살펴보았다. 연구결과, SNS를 통해 형성된 사회적 자본의 크기 및 유형에 따른 효과는 세대에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 사회적 자본의 크기는 고령세대보다 젊은세대가 크게 나타났으며, 사회적 자본의 유형 중 연결적(bridging) 사회자본도 고령세대보다 젊은세대가 크게 나타났다. 또한 전반적인 정서적 웰빙은 세대에 따라 차이가 없었지만, 정서적 웰빙의 유형 중 부정적 웰빙은 고령세대가 젊은세대 보다 더욱 민감하게 나타나 세대별 차이를 보였다. 이러한 결과들을 토대로 SNS관리방향을 제시함으로써 세대별 세분화된 SNS활용방안을 제시하였다.

There exists a popular belief that the elderly are more conservative than the younger people in acceptability of new technology. This study explores whether the generation gap in technology acceptance exists in the case of using telepresence robots, which project the presence and mobility of remote operator, for the universal purpose of social participation rather than for specific applications. Two groups of senior citizens and undergraduate students in their twenties personally experienced the telepresence robots operation and conducted a survey on how they perceived the social participation of a remote operator mediated by telepresence robot and to what extent the remote operator deserve equal rights to be treated as if one really exists in the local environment. The results show that the elderly have higher expectation on the role and functions of telepresence robots, and more favorable in principle for a remote operator to exercise equal rights by operating telepresence robot. It suggests that the stereotypes, the elderly lag behind younger generation in accepting new technology, is unlikely to fit into the telepresence robot market, for the elderly have more favor and support using telepresence robots as an universal avatar for social participation.

The purpose of this study was to measure the first two vowel formants of the forty male and female speakers (twenty young vs. old male speakers and twenty young vs. old female speakers) from the Buckeye Corpus of Conversational Speech and to examine the vowel formant changes across two generations (younger vs. older). The results indicated that the vowel space of the younger generation (in their thirties or less) shifted to the lower left position compared to those of the older generation (in their forties or more) in both male and female speakers. When the results were compared to those of Peterson & Barney (1952), it appears that differences can be found in the size of the vowel spaces through time.

It have been known that Daegu dialect does not have /ㅆ/ as a phoneme. However, it seems that /ㅅ/ and /ㅆ/ are phonemically distinctive in younger generation. In this paper, we investigate realization of /ㅅ/ and /ㅆ/ of Daegu dialect in their 20's, and compare them with /ㅅ/ and /ㅆ/ of Seoul dialect in their 20's. The result of this study showed that /ㅅ/ and /ㅆ/ were not significantly different between Daegu and Seoul dialect except pitch. Therefore, in Daegu dialect /ㅅ/ and /ㅆ/ are phonemically distinctive in younger generation like Seoul dialect's /ㅅ/ and /ㅆ/ are.

The purpose of this study was to analyze a cohort, age, and time effects on sodium and sodium-calorie intake using the 2007~2017 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). For analysis, we have constructed cohort panel data that combine KNHANES data in a time series. The age effect gradually increased from age 45~49 and then decreased afterwards. The time effect showed an increase in average sodium intake until 2010 followed by a subsequent decrease. The cohort effect showed that the sodium intake was the highest for the War of Liberation 1946~1953, and that the younger the latter, the lower the sodium intake. According to a cohort analysis, the younger the generation, the lower the sodium intake compared to the calorie intake, according to the baby boomers. Based on the results of this study, efforts should be made to educate and promote the dieting and providing low-salt meals to reduce sodium intake by generation. An analysis of the health hazards including sodium by generation and age is thought to enable the establishment relevant policies.
