Abstract
The Developmental psychology in Korea has limited itself in the area of child studies, so that it could not identify the developmental phenomena in Korean socio-cultural context. This issue is directly related to the identity of developmental psychology in Korean society which seeks to scrutinize the formation and change process of mind in the society. The developmental change means the integrated phenomena of the content and nature of developmental change. The content of developmental change is intrinsic to the context in which the change occurs, so that the developmental research has to deal with the developmental issues in Korean social context. The framework to study the developmental phenomena in context has set up by distinguishing the content and nature of developmental change. It is also to look for the person-centered approach rather than to pursue the variable centered approach. If the developmental psychology has to take its place in Korean society, it will be dependent upon not by the methodological rigidity, but by the social impact validity.
Abstract
This study attempted to find the components of reading program based on phonological awareness by investigating the relationship between phonological awareness and early reading. The development of phonological awareness in young children is a sequential process, from solving larger units such as syllable-level tasks to solving smaller units such as phonemic-level tasks. Phonological awareness was assumed to be good predictor of future reading ability, which suggests that to promote reading ability, the teaching of young children could be helped through intervening programs that include of phonological awareness. In Korea, it has been shown that form reading skills in early years by understanding the corresponding relationships between vowels and consonants, and blending principles of letters. For a phonologically based reading program, it is necessary to arrange levels of phonemic awareness, from words to syllables and syllables to phonemes and help the children learn the components of phonological awareness. In relation to reading, the subjects of phonological awareness include rhyming cognition and the deletion, blending, segmentation, discrimination and substitution of words, syllables and phonemes. In this sense, it is recommended that reading programs should consist of listening games, rhyming, sound categorization, oral blending and segmentation, phonemic manipulation and connections between sounds and letters. Also, formal methods of instruction may be chosen, but they should also include informal tasks such as games and nursery rhymes, both in small-group activities and large-group activities, for the learning of decoding skills in addition to phonological awareness.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate Korean's deep psychology reflected in tabooed words. The materials of this study were 625 Korean tabooed words. Contents analysis was administered and the major categories were extracted. The finding showed that human life, dream, animal/plant, and nature were the main theme of taboo. Especially human life related tabooed words were the most frequent. More specifically, the tabooed words related to human life were mainly about clothes/food/habitation, household effects, rite of passage, time, body, disease, human relationship, sex, and person. The tabooed words related to clothes/food/habitation and rite of passage were found more frequently than any others. In addition, contents analysis was administered on the consequences of breaking the taboo. Finally, all of these findings were discussed in relation to the Korean culture.
Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to compare the effectiveness of three types of practice in enhancing the validity and equivalency of test instruments when cross-cultural adaptation of attitude measures is necessary. The three types of practice are: (1) translation and review; (2) translation, back translation, and review; (3) translation, back translation, review, and empirical validation study. Seven hundred and thirty four 5th graders from three public elementary schools in Seoul, Korea participated in this study. Reponses on the three test versions and two other motivation scales were collected within a 3-week period with approximately one-week intervals. Overall results show that the validation version is most superior in all aspects. Furthermore, back translation version is superior to the translation version in terms of its similarity to the validation version and construct-related evidence. Results from IRT analysis reveal that the item qualities of the validation version is superior to the other two versions. Discussions are provided in terms of the nature of the adapted attitude scales.
Abstract
This article shows that fundamental aspects of the structure of momentary affect are similar in Korean and Canadian societies. We developed questionnaire scales in Korean in four different formats for assessing momentary affect. Scales can be scored for Feldman Barrett and Russells (1998) Pleasant, Unpleasant, Activated, and Deactivated, Thayers (1996) energetic and tense arousal, Larsen and Dieners (1992) eight combinations of pleasantness and activation, and Watson and Tellegens (1985) Positive Affect and Negative Affect. In a sample of 365 Koreans, the new scales were found to be psychometrically sound and to be interrelated as found with English-speaking Canadians: Dimensions could be integrated into a two-dimensional bipolar affective space.
