The purpose of this study was to investigate the awareness, eating experience, and preference of kimchi, and the sensory evaluation of kimchi from Chinese and Korean students residing in Korea. General information (including age, sex, duration of staying, living status) was collected. A questionnaire was used to collect the information on awareness, eating experience, and preference of kimchi and dishes made with kimchi. Sensory evaluations were carried out on a 10 point scale. All subjects (37 Koreans, 43 Chinese) were aware of kimchi, with 98% of the Chinese subjects recognizing kimchi as a Korean traditional food and 65% having eaten kimchi at least once a day. The types of kimchi preferred by Chinese subjects were generally sweet and not over-bearing in seasoning, hotness, or ripeness. The more frequently eaten foods made with kimchi were jjigae, bokkeumbap, bibimbap and kimbap. However, the more preferred dishes made with kimchi were bossam, jeongol, bokkeum, jeon, and ramyeon. The Chinese subjects were especially sensitive to spicy odors (4.6±2.2/10), salted seafood odors (4.6±2.3/10), offodors (4.4±2.3/10) and aftertaste (5.9±2.1/10) compared to Korean subjects. Taken all together, the perception as well as sensory characteristic of kimchi needs to be improved for the globalization of kimchi.

무용수는 공연에 대한 스트레스, 식이 조절, 근골격계 손상 등으로 신체조성의 수준이나 골밀 도에 문제가 있는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 이러한 문제로 인하여 한국무용수가 가지고 있는 신체 조성과 골밀도의 특성을 평가하여 건강상태를 파악하고 그에 따른 관리가 이루어질 필요가 있 다. 따라서, 본 연구는 dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA)를 이용하여 한국무용 전공 여대생 10명과 일반 여대생 10명의 신체조성과 골밀도를 비교분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 신체조성은 측정된 DEXA의 결과에서 body mass index(BMI), 체지방률, 근육량, 제지방량을 사용하였으며 골 밀도는 팔, 다리, 척추, 골반 부위의 골밀도 값을 사용하였다. 연구결과 두 집단 간의 BMI(p=.313), 체지방률(p=.060), 근육량(p=.264), 제지방량(p=.272)의 신 체조성은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었으며, 팔(p=.055), 다리(p=.105), 척추(p=.276), 골반 (p=.126) 부위의 골밀도 또한 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로 한국무용 전공 여대 생과 일반 여대생의 신체조성 및 골밀도의 차이는 없었다. 이러한 연구결과는 한국무용수에게 한국무용과 식이 섭취 경향이 골밀도와 신체조성을 부정적으로 변화시키지 않았으며 오히려 긍 정적인 영향을 준 가능성이 시사되었다.

본 연구는 서울대학교 학부생들의 기초교양 교과목의 수강 경향을 분석하여 지난 수년간 기초교육 강화를 위한 노력이 학생들에게 어떻게 수용되고 어떤 교육적 성과를 거두었는가를 평가하고자 하였다. 분석 결과, 서울대학교 학부생들은 평균 8.49학기를 이수하였고, 대학에서 졸업요건으로 정해진 학점을 크게 벗어나지 않았지만 평균 전공 취득 학점은 2000년부터 점차 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 학과별로 전공 학점수를 더 많이 요구하는 경향을 보여서 대학이 전문 직업을 위한 고도의 지적, 직업적 훈련을 시켜야 한다는 목표와 근본적이고 기초적인 교육에 중점을 두어야 한다는 교육 목표 사이에는 적절한 균형이 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 지난 5년 간 복수전공을 수강한 학생은 406명, 연합전공 31명으로 다양한 분야의 전공을 수강한 학생이 연평균 437명으로 나타났다. 이러한 추세는 학생의 사회적 관심 영역을 확장하고 교육적인 기초를 더욱 확고히 다지는 기회를 제공하였을 것이며, 다양한 학문적 경험을 통한 융합을 구현하는 것에 도움이 되었을 것으로 판단된다.

Yi Yu-mi & Park Jae-hyun. 2012. A comparative analysis of the rhetorical sensitivity of Korean and Chinese university students in their twenties. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 20(2). p. 343-365. purpose of this study is to examine cultural differences by comparatively analyzing the rhetorical sensitivity of Korean and Chinese university students in their twenties. Rhetorical sensitivity is a concept proposed by Hart & Burks(1972) that examines the personal traits of an individual when communicating with others. In this study, Eadie & Powell (1991)’s RHETSEN 2 is used to conduct a survey on Koreans and Chinese in their twenties. The result revealed that there is a significant difference between the two countries when it comes to rhetorical reflectors. Compared to Korea, China’s rhetorical reflectors ratio was higher; the ratio of Chinese women’s rhetorical reflectors was especially the highest. Additionally, according to the analysis of rhetorical reflectors survey response, Chinese university students have a stronger tendency to avoid arguments compared to Korean university students. Consequently, although both Korea and China belong to a collectivist culture, individualistic traits tend to appear more distinctly among the younger generation of Korea.

본 연구는 빨간색 셔츠의 시각적 감성을 비교 분석하여 소비자 감성을 반영한 셔츠의 색채기획에 도움을 주고자, 한국과 중국 대학생을 대상으로 온라인상에서 시각적 평가방법으로 7가지 톤의 빨간색 색지와 빨간색 셔츠에 대한 시각적 감성과 선호도를 평가하였다. 평가된 자료는 빈도 분석, 평균, 요인 분석, t-test를 실시하여 분석하였다. 빨간색 셔츠의 시각적 감성은 스포티, 로맨틱, 클래식 등 3개의 감성요인이 추출되었는데, 이 요인들은 톤, 성과 국적에 따라 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 중국 대학생은 한국 대학생에 비해 strong톤의 빨간색 셔츠가 더 스포티하고, dark톤이 더 클래식하다고 지각하였다. 또한 한국 대학생은 deep톤의 빨간색 셔츠를 로맨틱하다고 평가하였으나, 중국 대학생은 light톤과 pale톤의 셔츠를 로맨틱하다고 평가하였다. 한편, 7가지 톤의 빨간색 셔츠에 대한 선호도는 국적 및 성에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 중국 대학생은 한국 대학생보다 dark톤과 pale톤의 빨간색 셔츠를 더 구매하고 싶어 하였으나, 한국 대학생은 strong톤의 셔츠를 더 선호하였다. 또한 남자 대학생이 dark와 dull톤의 빨간색 셔츠를 더 선호하는 반면, 여자 대학생은 light톤의 빨간색 셔츠를 더 선호하였다.

This study attempted to analyze and compare the tax ethics between Korean, Chinese and Japanese university students. Data collection was conducted by the questionnaires with sixty (N=60) Korean university students, sixty Chinese university students and sixty Japanese university students. The results of the study are summarized as follows; Compared with Chinese and Japanese students, Korean students have a higher level of knowledge about tax law. However, Chinese and Japanese university students had a higher level of tax ethics. This results tell that the research hypothesis that there are differences in tax ethics between Korean, Chinese and Japanese university students was not rejected. Also this study showed that the sexual differences were not significant in Korean, Chinese and Japanese students. The additional finding of this study is that the level of tax ethics improved through the tax lecture or course. This result implies that the level of tax ethics could be affected by the education of tax law. With the findings of the study, educational implications and limitations of the study are discussed.

This study aims to investigate the errors of prepositional verbs in Korean university students' essays and alert teachers to the necessity of a more systematic instruction of prepositional verbs. Prepositional-verb errors found in the learner corpus of essays written by 416 Korean university students were classified into five categories: (a) preposition omission, (b) wrong prepositions, (c) preposition addition, (d) misordering, and (e) others. Of the 1317 tokens of prepositional verbs retrieved from the corpus, 448 were found to be used erroneously, over half of which were instances of preposition omission. No tokens of misordering errors were found (e.g., *to go school / *go school to). A careful analysis of these errors also revealed the following. First, students were not able to discern the difference between a verb used transitively and the same verb used as a prepositional verb (e.g., believe and believe in). Second, the inability to distinguish transitive verbs from intransitive ones also resulted in a considerable number of errors in preposition omission (e.g., *listen music) and preposition addition (e.g., *enter in university). Third, using wrong prepositions (e.g., *worried at me) was also a rather common occurrence, accounting for 18% of the all the errors related to prepositional verbs.

The fundamental purpose of this study is to investigate the degree of correlation between the receptive and speaking skills by comparing the scores of the TOEIC (the Test of English for International Communication) and the ESPT (the English Speaking Proficiency Test). A recent research (Cunningham: 2002) shows that gaining scores on the TOEIC do not affect much improvement of communication skills. In this study, two instruments were used to collect data: the TOEIC and the ESPT. These two tests were administered to freshmen at one of the universities at Kyungsang Province. On the basis of the TOEIC scores the participants got, they were divided into two groups: intermediate and basic. The results show that the overall correlation coefficient between the TOEIC scores and the ESPT test for all was 0.51. However, the correlation coefficient between these two test scores for the intermediate level was as low as 0.43 and the basic level 0.25. This study implies that interpreting the correlation between receptive and speaking skills should be cautious.

For globalization of Korean food, It is essential to research and analyze target markets in advance. However until recently, there has been a lack of food research in regions of select countries in order to create systematic plans for marketing Korean foods. Therefore this study aimed to investigate the recognition of Korean foods as compared to other Asian foods in young adults living in Vaxjo, Sweden. Over 90 percent of the Swedish students had experienced Thai and Chinese cuisines, indicating their popularity as Asian foods in Sweden. The participants were attracted to six positive attributes of Asian food: 'fresh vegetables', 'low fat', 'chicken and sea food', 'exotic ingredients', 'good value for the money' and 'unknown foods'. The favorite type of Asian food was Thai food and Korean food was the least tried, as over 50% of respondents linked it to 'unknown food' attributes. Based on these results, in order to introduce Korean food more successfully, focus should be placed on the unique and unknown attributes of Korean food, as well as emphasis placed on its healthfulness, to stimulate the curiosity of target markets such as young Swedish adults.

This study reports on an experimental study that investigates Korean EFL college students" acquisition of English verbs (such as break and change) that participate in the transitivity alternation. The experiment was devised specifically to examine how the distinction of the three types of transitivity alternation verbs - unaccusatives, middles, and passives (all with non-agent subject on the surface) - is revealed in the development of learners" interlanguage. A total of 80 college students were divided into two proficiency groups and asked to perform a production task and a grammatical judgment task on the target structures. The overall results show that the learners acquire passives earlier than unaccusatives and middles. The results also reveal that with increased proficiency, the learners perform better on all the target structures regardless of the task type. The results show, however, that even higher proficiency learners are not sensitive to lexico-syntactic properties associated with unaccusatives and middles. Another finding from the results is that the major type of the learners" interlanguage error is overpassivization of unaccusatives and middles, which confirms that Korean EFL learners, like learners with other L1 backgrounds, rely on a universal mechanism of subject―agent and object―patient/theme mapping.

Experiment on the thermal response of college-age Korean was conducted in a thermal environmental chamber during winter season. Eight environmental conditions composed of five air temperatures (18∼26℃) and two relative humidities (40, 60%) were selected. To investigate the uniformity of thermal environments, the spatial distributions and the temporal variations of thermal parameters were examined in the test chamber. Subjects of 7 females or 7 males were questioned in the chamber for three hours, where thermal and comfort sensations were surveyed every fifteen minutes. The repeatability and temporal variation of thermal response were discussed. The thermal sensation votes of subjects were compared with the predicted mean votes calculated from the thermal parameters and human parameters. The correlation between thermal sensation votes and comfort sensation votes of subjects were discussed.
