Abstract

In 2022 and 2023, over a span of two years, five psychological service bills, including those proposed by the Korean Psychological Association, were introduced through various associations and committees under the Ministry of Health and Welfare Act. These bills share a common goal of enhancing the mental health of the nation. However, they sharply contrast in terms of the education and training of psychological service providers. The passage of the proposed bills requires diverse interpretations and negotiations from various sectors, including academic, political, and economic aspects. Therefore, it is essential to establish objective evidence on this issue. In this academic journal, following last year's special issue, we plan to continue presenting relevant papers as a special topic this year as well. Through this, we hope that the Korean Psychological Association will solidify its stance on the proposed psychological service bills through evidence accumulation using psychological research methodologies.

Abstract

In response to proposed legislation concerning the accreditation of psychological professionals, the Korean academic community has actively engaged in discussions surrounding the qualifications for these professionals. However, the legal intricacies arising from the legalization of the psychological professional qualification system have received limited attention. This article explores the intersection between the state’s responsibility to improve the mental health of its citizens and the psychological professional qualification system. It conducts an in-depth examination of the prerequisites necessary to safeguard individuals’ freedom of occupational choice within the legislative framework governing this qualification system. Additionally, this article presents a novel interpretation of the legal aspects related to the qualification system, rooted in the concept of professional speech.

Abstract

This study was conducted to understand the role of the Seoul Psychological Support Center in the mental health of Seoul residents and to propose a model and development plan for psychological support services that emphasize professionalism, accessibility, and diffusion. To achieve this goal, a literature review, focus group interviews with experts, and a satisfaction survey of users of the Seoul Psychological Support Center were conducted. The analysis revealed that the Seoul Psychological Support Center plays a central role in community psychological support services and that various improvement measures are needed to strengthen its professionalism, accessibility, and diffusiveness. Based on these findings, this study proposes a common standard model and concrete realization plan for expanding community psychological support services. The proposed model and measures can be used as a reference for developing community psychological support services in other regions, and it is hoped that with the active support and interest of the central and local governments, more extensive and practical community psychological support services will be expanded.

Abstract

This study compared the results of unfolding analyses, a technique to visualize judges and judged objects in a single figure, using ranking and rating data. Multidimensional scaling models, such as the unfolding model, are relatively free from statistical assumptions and can be advantageous tools for researchers interested in small groups or individual differences. The data used in the analysis were from 37 participants who were asked to measure 33 behaviors on the blameworthiness dimension, and the data were collected in two ways for each of the 33 behaviors. The data from paired comparison method was converted into ranked data, and the rated data was used as raw data. To understand the relationship between the ranking and rating data, we calculated the rank correlation coefficient (rho) between the aggregated statistics of the two data, and compared the correlation matrices of the 33 behaviors from the two data. The results showed that the two data were not related to each other, and the correlation matrices were not similar. As a result of the unfolding analysis, the placement of the behaviors was more distributed when using the ranking data than the rating data. Therefore, the author concluded that ranking data would be more useful to visually understand the relationship between the judgment objects and the judges. This study showed that the results of the unfolding analysis of ranking and rating data from the same judges are different. The current study suggested that, when applying the unfolding model, researchers should consider which type of data can be useful for the individual difference study.

Abstract

This study aimed to verify the independent and sequential mediating effect of psychological acceptance and self-compassion in the relationship between external contingencies of self-worth and depression in college students. For this, data was collected about Korean Version of Contingencies of Self-Worth Scale (K-CSWS), Korean Version of Center for Epidemiologic Studies - Depression Scale(K-CES-D), Korean Version of Self-Compassion Scale(K-SCS) and Korean Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II(K-AAQ-II) from 300 college students and the Structural Equation Model analysis was conducted on the collected data using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0. In the analysis process, priority and other's approval are the sub-variable of external contingencies of self-worth which is the central area of interest of the study and were used for statistical analysis.As a result of this analysis, it was confirmed that psychological acceptance and self-compassion had significant independent and sequential mediating effects in the relationship between external contingencies of self-worth and depression. This study is significant in that it comprehensively confirmed the role of emotion regulation, which mediates the process of external contingencies of self-worth leading to depression, by dividing it into the dimension of emotional recognition and correction.
