First, what are the styles of parental bonding perceived by mothers and average adolescents? Second, is the perceived parental boning transmitted from the mothers' generation to the adolescents' generation?

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of aging on both implicit and explicit memory tasks following semantic or peroeptual orienting tasks. In Experiment 1, following study phase, subjects were tested with Cued-Recall (CR) and Wool-Stem Completion(WSC). No age-related differences were found on WSC. However, the older adults performed more poorly on CR than on WSC. In Experiment 2, following study phase, subjects were tested with Wool-Fragment Completion (WFC) and Wool-Stem Completion (WSC). Age-related differences were found on WFC but not on WSC. It was also observed that whereas CR and WFC showed an advantage of semantic orienting condition, WSC did not. These results indicate that some forms of implicit memory decline in the normal Korean old.
The purpose of this study is to find the cognitive characteristics of 4th, 5th, 6th grade children with reading disability reflected in K-WISC-III. According to K-WISC-III full IQ score and the result of reading ability test, the reading disability group (n=26) and the norma1 group (n=22) were selected. The results are as follows. First, the reading disability group showed that verbal IQ score was lower than performance IQ score and was significant differences of verbal IQ - performance IQ discrepancy between the reading disability group and the norma1 group. Second, comparing with the normal group, the reading disability group demonstrated significantly poor performance on subtest of Information, Similarities, Digit span but, significantly rich performance on subtest of Symbol search. Through discriminant function analysis, the one discriminant function was yield and the 81 % of original group was correctly classified. Third, comparing with normal group, reading disability group demonstrated significantly poor performance on index of verbal comprehension(VC), Freedom from Distractibility(FD) but, significantly rich performance on index of Processing Speed(PS). Through discriminant function analysis, the one discriminant function was yield and the 72.9% of original group was correctly classified.

On the basis of the results of this study, variable related to violence game addiction and possible interventions were discussed.
This study was to verify whether the Aggression Scale, consisting of II items, developod by Orpinas & Frankowski(2001) can be a self-reported aggressive behavior scale suitable for Korean young adolescents or not. This scale was compared with the Aggression Questionnaire for college students developed by Buss and Perry(1992) in two independent samples of middle school students(n=171) and college students(n=252). Correlational analysis, t test, trend analysis and ANOVA revealed the Orpinas & Frankowski Scale is useful tool to measure aggressive behavior for young adolescents. Also it was evident that the academic achievement, self-esteem, attachment to mother and father, and aggression suppression could be the significant protective varibles for aggressive behavior of adolescents.
