Abstract
This study aims to validate the Korean Music in Mood Regulation Scale developed by Saarikallio(2012), which measures the differential use of mood regulatory strategies while listening to music. A survey was conducted in two separate groups of undergraduate students(N=252 and N=197) to validate the instrument. Exploratory factor analysis with sample A and confirmatory factor analysis with sample B were conducted. The result of exploratory factor analysis on sample A found evidence regarding six factor structure: revival, discharge, strong sensation, entertainment, diversion and solace. In the confirmatory factor analysis, the measurement model on sample B provided a 18 item scale for the Korean Music in Mood Regulation, showing adequate internal consistency and reliability. In addition, the correlation with other scales measuring general affect regulation was as expected. Specifically, Korean MMR showed positive correlation with functions of music, negative mood regulation, reappraisal and attention, indicating convergent validity, while the correlation with suppression was insignificant. These results suggest that the Korean Music in Mood Regulation scale is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring the use of different strategies related to music listening and mood regulation. The implications, limitations and suggestions for further studies are discussed.
Abstract
The present study aimed to identify the differences in emotions, contexts, and values relevant to happiness between extroverts and introverts. A total of 121 undergraduates were asked to keep a diary for their happiness episodes for two weeks. Content analysis of happiness episodic contexts led to five upper categories: interpersonal relationship, leisure activities, self-improvement, pro-social behaviors, religion. For the interpersonal relationship category, extroverts had experienced emotions more such as pleasure, ecstasy, affection, and confidence, whereas introverts had experienced ones more such as tranquility. For the leisure activities and self-improvement categories, extroverts experienced positive emotions and values more than introverts did. And contexts in which extroverts experienced happiness were more related to interpersonal relationship contexts, those for introverts were more related to passive activities, physical/psychological well-being and pleasure. Finally, for the self-development category, the performance contexts were more closely connected with extroverts, while self-reflection and self growth were more important for the introverts.
Abstract
In this study, I have sought to explore the linkages among college students’ communication with their parents, ego identity, and commitment to their career choices. In particular, I have investigated whether college students’ ego identity mediates the relationship between the college students’ communication with their parents and commitment to their career choices. To test my arguments, I have conducted a survey of college students from Seoul, and Gangwon and Jeju provinces. A final sample includes 308 students from the above regions. For my analysis, I have employed correlation and multiple regression analyses using SPSS 18.0. Additionally, I have conducted the Sobel test to test a mediation effect. I have found the positive and significant correlations among parent-student communication, college students’ commitment to their career choices, and college students’ ego identity. Second, I have found the positive and significant relationships between parent-student communication and college students’ commitment to their career choices, between college students’ ego identity and commitment to their career choices. Finally, I have found that college students’ ego identity mediates the relationship between parent-student communication and college students' commitment to their career choices. I have discussed findings, theoretical and practical implications, and future research in the final section.
Abstract
We investigated how gender and age affect the perception of sexual violence. Participants whose age ranged from 20 to 69 read one of two scenarios about a dating couple. In one scenario, the man had sex with the woman against the woman's will at the end of the story. In the other scenario, the man did not attempt to have sex once realizing that the woman did not want to have sex. Participants then answered the following five items regarding the two characters in the scenario: sincerity of woman’s refusal, woman’s unpleasantness, woman’s sexual satisfaction, man’s violence, and man’s masculinity. There were several significant two-way interactions between participant gender and condition, and between participant age and condition. It was found that male and old participants were more likely than their counterparts to score low on sincerity of woman’s refusal, woman’s unpleasantness, and man’s violence, and score high on woman’s sexual satisfaction and man’s masculinity in the sex condition. No meaningful pattern was found in the no sex condition.
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop the character scale for primary and secondary school students and to evaluate its reliability and validity. To this end, this study made the best use of various methods, such as literature review, delphi survey, experts meeting, e-mail interview to teachers and developed preliminary test items. Also, to verify the content validity character experts rated those items. On the basis of the preliminary test results, 110 items of KEDI character test were selected. The KEDI character test was administered to sample of 40,000 students in elementary(fifth grade), middle(second grade) and high(first grade) school. Ten factors were extracted from the exploratory factor analysis and the results of the confirmatory factor analysis supported a ten-factor structure. KEDI character test is composed of 10 constructs, namely self-respect, integrity, emotional & social intelligence, responsibility, self-regulation, honesty & courage, wisdom, justice, and citizenship. KEDI character test shows strong levels of reliability(internal, test-retest) and clear patterns of concurrent validity. Finally, the implication of results and future direction of the present study were discussed.
Abstract
Nowadays online communication is an essential part of a daily life. Some people argued that online activity was beneficial for the accumulation of social capital, but there is quite opposite evidence supporting that the social capital may promote online activity. As most of the research examining the relationship between the social capital and online activity was conducted using a cross-sectional design, it was hard to establish causal relationship. This study aimed to examine the causality between online/offline relationship-maintaining behaviors and social capital. For this purpose, autoregressive cross-lagged model was analyzed based on three wave panel data of 1039 participants. Results showed that pre-existing bridging social capital had a positive effect on the offline and online relationship-maintaining behaviors, and offline relationship-maintaining behaviors also partly contributed to the increase of online relationship-maaintaining behaviors. However, both offline and online relationship-maintaining behaviors did not contribute to the accumulation of bridging social capital. Futhermore, the positive effect of pre-existing bonding social capital on online relationship was completely mediated through offline relationship. Implications and limitations of the study were discussed.
