Yang, Myung-hee & Kim, Bo-hyeon. 2017. “A Study on Korean Language Anxiety in the Classrooms of Advanced-level Korean Language Learners for Academic purposes: With Chinese Students in Graduate School in Korea”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 25(1). 119~141. The aim of this study is to examine the level of and the factors for Korean language anxiety in the classrooms of advanced-level Korean language learners for academic purposes. To this end, 60 Chinese students attending graduate school participated in the survey with the questionnaires: i.e., PRCA and FLCAS. The results suggest as follows. First, the Korean language anxiety level in the classrooms of the Chinese students is likely to be high. Also, it is not because of the participants’ traits, but because of the classroom environment. Second, there are 5 factors for Korean language anxiety in the classrooms; communication anxiety with native speakers, communication anxiety, fears of negative evaluation and failing in class, Korean proficiency anxiety, and negative attitudes toward class. Especially, the forth factor suggests that Korean learners needs an educational intervention of Korean, even after they enter undergraduate or graduate institutions. Third, there is a negative correlation between Korean language anxiety in the classroom and a residence period in Korea. That is, it is necessary to give them as many opportunities as possible for being exposed to Korean by a Korean educational intervention.

공포에 대한 연구는 주로 불안과 공포 장애를 가진 환자들을 대상으로 수행되어왔으며, 공포를 불안의 특수한 한 형태라고 생각하여 불안과 공포에 대한 연구가 함께 이루어져왔다. 본 연구에서는 아동이 공포 정서를 경험하는 동안 나타나는 자율신경계 반응을 밝히고자 하였다. 초등학생을 대상으로 공포 정서를 유발하는 시청각 동영상을 제시하고 심리 반응과 자율신경계 반응을 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 공포 정서의 적합성 및 효과성은 80%이상으로 나타나 공포정서유발자극이 적절하고 효과적이었음을 알 수 있었다. 자율신경계 반응 분석 결과, 공포정서가 유발되는 동안 피부전도수준, 피부전도반응, 피부전도 반응의 수, 호흡주기관련 심박률 변화, 호흡수, 심박률분산의 고주파수 성분이 유의하게 증가하였고, 심장박동주기는 감소하였다. 공포 정서에 의해 야기된 자율신경계 반응에서는 불안수준이 높을수록 피부온도, 심박률, 호흡주기관련 심박률 변화가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 불안수준이 높은 아동일수록 공포 정서를 경험할 때 자율신경계 반응의 변화가 더 크다는 것을 나타낸다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of food habits and anxiety level of obese children on body weight control program. The body weight control program included nutrition education, psychotherapy and exercise for weekly session during 9 months. The results from this study were as follows. A total of 27 obese children(boys 44.4%, girls 55.6%) participated in this study. The average age of children was 11.7 years, average height and weight were 141.7cm and 48.1kg respectively. Rohrer index(RI) of children was significantly decreased from 167 to 163(p〈0.001) and BMI was significantly decreased from 24.5 to 23.9 (p〈0.01) after body weight control program. This study also found obesity index(OI) was significantly decreased from 133% to 128%(p〈0.01) of 18 children after program. There was not significant difference in food habits score but frequency of overeating, and eating frequency of meats were significantly decreased(p〈0.05) after body weight control program. Also depression score significantly decreased after body weight control program(p〈0.001) and there was significant negative correlation(r=-0.552) between food habits and anxiety level. The factors analysis of anxiety items indicated that children had feelings more calm and sate after program(p〈0.05). Therefore continuous and practical nutritional education and psychotherapy to change food habits and anxiety level are necessary to decrease child obesity. These results suggest that body weight control program including nutrition education, exercise and psychotherapy may be effective physiological and psychological body health of obese children.

이 연구의 목적은 자기평가체형과 체력수준 및 운동빈도가 중학생의 사회적 체형불안에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지를 알아보는 것이었다. 연구 참여에 동의한 남녀 중학생 총 410명(남: 194명, 여: 216명)이 배경정보를 묻는 설문지와 자기평가체형검사지 및 사회적체 형불안검 사지에 자기평가기입 법으로 응답하였다. 자료처리는 PASW 18.0 통계프로그램을 이용하여 독립 t-검정과 다변량 분산분석(MANOVA)을 실시하였다. 통계분석 결과, 중학생들의 사회적 체형불안은 성별(p<01), 비만도(p<001), 체형왜 곡정도(p<01), 자기평가체형(p<001), 체력수준(p<01), 및 운동빈도(p<01)에 따라서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 연구결과를 통찰할 때 학생들의 올바른 신체상 정립과 사회적 체형불안을 감소시킬 수 있는 교육프로그램 개발의 필요성이 시급히 요구된다.
