Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the comprehensive approach of previous studies on children's eyewitness testimony. Suggestions were made to help activate further studies on these issues. Cognitive and social-emotional factors, which are the two most widely researched areas, were reviewed regarding children's eyewitness testimony. Based on the trend cognitive variables, such as children's knowledge, ability of language, source monitoring, imagination, fantasy and social-emotional variables, like attachment, temperament, stress and so on were reviewed. Moreover, the experience of the event, type of questions asked, the interviewer's authority or bias might also effect children's eyewitness testimony. Therefore, it is suggested that psychologists should give close attention to the challenges of future researches for more reliable eyewitness testimony in children.
Abstract
This study is designed to examine the effectiveness of the Gestalt group therapy for run out Adolescence, thus, it could help to develop a better group therapy program. The subjects of this study are run out Adolescence, nine boys and thirteen girls, who stay at a shelter located in Seoul. According to the gender, the subjects are divided into two groups. Each group includes an experimental group and a control group, and the experimental groups receive the Gestalt group therapy six times throughout a week. Sungshin self-concept examination questionnaire invented by Jung-Kyu Kim is used to measure the level of self-esteem, emotional stability, personal relationship ability, problem solving ability and personal trust. CDI is used to measure the level of depression such as depressive emotion, behavior barrier, the loss of interests, self abuse, and natural symptom and STAI is used for the anxiety level. The results of the study are as follows: Firstly, the Gestalt group therapy shows a positive effect on self-esteem in general including emotional stability and personal trust, and especially, the effect on emotional stability maintains. Secondly, the Gestalt group therapy is effective on decreasing the level of self-abuse, the effect on self-abuse maintains. Finally, the Gestalt group therapy has a positive effect on decreasing the level of anxiety, and the effect maintains. Therefore, the Gestalt group therapy is positively effective over emotional stability, the anxiety level and self-abuse, especially right after the therapy, although the effectiveness could fade depending on the personal situation as time goes by.
Abstract
The aims of this study were to examine chronic post traumatic stress and mental health of 5․18 victims. Subjects were 291 5․18 victims and 43 control group. Data were collected through trained examiners' interview and survey. The results showed that 41.6% of 518 victims were diagnosed as PTSD. If more rigid criteria were applied, 24.9% ~ 29.5% of respondents were diagnosed as PTSD. 55.8% of the wounded, the arrested, and bereaved families were diagnosed as PTSD and if more rigid criteria were applied, 32.8% were diagnosed as PTSD. Particularly, the wounded group and bereaved families showed the worst mental health. That is, they showed high scores in all symptoms including anxiety, depression, and somatization. In the case of current life stress, the wounded, the arrested, and bereaved families more suffered from economic difficulty, job problem, and disease of self and families than other groups and control group. Finally, the meanings of these results, suggestions for future studies, and limitations of this study were discussed.
Abstract
This study attempts to investigate whether the mutual exclusivity assumption is a lexical constraint or a learned strategy. The experiment uses the modified preferential looking paradigm. The infants were presented with two objects, one of which was familiar (eg. car) and the other was unfamiliar(eg. tool), while hearing either a known word or a nonsense word. Infants' looking time to each object was measured. The results indicate that both younger (11-17months: M=14months) and older infants(18-28months: M=24months) violate the mutual exclusivity in inferring the meaning of a novel word. The mapping of the known label to the familiar object increases in the older infant group. The results might be interpreted as an evidence against the mutual exclusivity as a lexical constraint, but still leave open to discuss as a learned strategy.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to validate Ferrari’s suggestion that the two type of chronic procrastination (arousal vs avoidance) is able to be measured each other with Lay's GP and McCown & Johnson's AIP. The research participants were 268 students(male 130, female 137). Three statistical analysis procedures were performed. First, the corelation between Lay's GP and McCown's AIP. Second, the multiple regression for GP and AIP with predictive variables of sensation seeking, fear of failure and self presentation. Third, the one-way analysis of variance by the independence variable of 4 groups(GP score high/AIP score high; GP score high/AIP score low; GP score low/AIP score high; GP score low/AIP score low) with the dependence variables of sensation seeking, fear of failure and self presentation. The result were as follow. First, the corelation coefficient between Lay's GP and McCown & Johnson's AIP were .780(p <.001). Second, significant predictive variables for GP and AIP were same variables as sensation seeking and fear of failure. Third, based on one-way analysis of variance, no significant difference were found for GP score low/AIP score low group and GP score low/AIP score high group with the dependence variables of sensation seeking, fear of failure and self presentation. These results indicate that Ferrari's suggestion did not to be supported.
Abstract
This paper attempts to provide a historical perspective of psychotherapy in South Korea. Until the mid 20th century, the Shamanistic healing and Chinese medicine were the main traditional treatment methods for mental illness. With the advent of westernization and modernization, the Western concept of psychotherapy has been prevalent in South Korea. Various professionals, their practices, associations and licenses related to psychotherapy in South Korea will be explained. Bridging the past and the present, future challenges in the field of psychotherapy in South Korea will be examined. The use of Western therapeutic approaches in a non-Western cultural context is discussed with respect to the potential conflicts for practitioners between imported methods that embody individualistic values and the traditional collectivist orientations of their societies.
Abstract
The purposes of this study are to model relapse of alcohol dependence in korea. The predictive psychological factors for relapse possibility of the patients with alcohol dependence were identified theoretically as alcohol-related belief, negative affect, coping strategy and abstinence self-efficacy. First, the correlation between these variables and relapse possibility were studied. Also, to identify how these psychological variables function on relapse possibility, we developed the hypothetical model presupposing a causal relationship and a mediating path among psychological factors for relapse possibility and tested it. The subjects were 213 inpatients or outpatients with alcohol dependence. The results of the structural equation analysis showed the partial mediating model suggested in this study was valid, but a fully mediated model, except the path of alcohol-related belief directly predicting relapse possibility was the best one. It was also revealed that negative affect, emotion-focused coping, problem-focused coping and abstinence self-efficacy played a mediating role in the relation between alcohol-related belief and relapse.
Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to examine the sex and culture differences in jealousy in romantic relationship. In this study, the assumption that men's jealousy is hypothesized to be particularly concerned with mate's sexual infidelity, whereas women's jealousy is hypothesized to be particularly concerned with mate's emotional infidelity based on the Evolved Jealousy Mechanism (EJM) perspective was proposed. We hypothesized that not only distinctive feature of the sex-specific evolved jealousy mechanism across the culture was replicated, but also the magnitude of the sex differences varies somewhat across cultures was predicted. To test this purpose, 221 university students in Korea and U.S.A were asked to complete the questionnaires and two-way ANOVAs were used to test the data. Results showed that the sex differences in jealousy were robust across these cultures, providing support for the EJM. An interaction between sex and culture as well as main effects for both sex and culture in jealousy and distress for sexual infidelity were revealed. The magnitude of the sex differences varied in large for the United States but small for Koreans. Accordingly, As the men were belonging to the United States at the same time as indicated greater jealousy, and distress to a partner's sexual infidelity. These results might used to understand the sex and culture differences in jealousy in romantic relationship and other culture factors account for the differences should be discussed in future research.
