The Effect of Image Realism and Learner's Expertise on Persona Effect of Pedagogical Agent

Science of Emotion and Sensibility, 2012

The purpose of this study is to test the effect of pedagogical agent realism and expertise on persona effect. There were two perspectives of the pedagogical agents' social interaction. Self-identification hypothesis argues that complexity of agent image is better to increase social interaction. Subjective identification insists that simplified image is more helpful to facilitate social interaction. However, from the cognitive load theory perspective, learners' expertise can be a major factor to determine persona effect. Sixty-eight college students (male=19 and female=49) participated. The independent variables were the degree of realism of pedagogical agent (detailed vs. simplified image) and the expertise (high prior knowledge group vs. low prior knowledge group). The dependant variables were comprehension test and the agent persona instrument (API). There was no significant difference in comprehension test score; however, there were significant interaction effect on the most constructs of API: 1) facilitating of learning, 2) credible, and 3) human-like. The follow-up analysis of simple main effect revealed that high expertise group showed significantly higher perception of the three construct with high realism of pedagogical agent. The results of study show that learners' expertise plays a key role of perception of persona effect.

Individual Identification Using Ear Region Based on SIFT

Journal of Korea Multimedia Society, 2015

In recent years, ear has emerged as a new biometric trait, because it has advantage of higher user acceptance than fingerprint and can be captured at remote distance in an indoor or outdoor environment. This paper proposes an individual identification method using ear region based on SIFT(shift invariant feature transform). Unlike most of the previous studies using rectangle shape for extracting a region of interest(ROI), this study sets an ROI as a flexible expanded region including ear. It also presents an effective extraction and matching method for SIFT keypoints. Experiments for evaluating the performance of the proposed method were performed on IITD public database. It showed correct identification rate of 98.89%, and it showed 98.44% with a deformed dataset of 20% occlusion. These results show that the proposed method is effective in ear recognition and robust to occlusion.

Study on the Temperament Construct of Sasang Typology with Biopsychological Measures

Korean Journal of Oriental Physiology & Pathology, 2013

The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric structure of Sasang typology with four personality measures and examine the construct validity of Sasang Personality Questionnaire (SPQ). We measured biopsychological traits of 104 university students using SPQ, Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), NEO-Personality Inventory (NEO-PI) and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The construct validity of SPQ was analyzed with TCI, NEO-PI and MBTI using Pearson's correlation. The temperament features of each Sasang groups were compared with Analysis of Variance and Profile Analysis. The SPQ showed significant correlation with TCI Novelty-Seeking (r=.398), TCI Harm-Avoidance (r=-.333), TCI Reward-Dependence (r=.465), TCI Self-Directedness (r=0.340), NEO-PI Extraversion (r=0.489) and MBTI Extraversion-Introversion (r=-0.509). The SPQ, TCI and NEO-PI revealed significant differences between Sasang constitutional groups. We examined the temperament construct of the Sasang typology and the validity of SPQ with well established western biopsychosocial instruments. This study would contribute to the objective studies on the biopsychosocial mechanism of Sasang medicine.

Psychosocial Predictors of Quality of Life in Patients With Vitiligo

2021

The present study was designed to examine psychosocial predictors of quality of life (QoL) such as body image, self-esteem, impact of Vitiligo (psychologically and socially), and perceived stigmatization in patients with Vitiligo. The sample (N =120) comprised of individuals with Vitiligo recruited from dermatology units of different hospitals in Lahore. Body Image State Scale (Cash, Fleming, Alindogan, Steadman, & Whitehead 2002), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965), Vitiligo Impact Scale (Rammam, Khaitan, Mehta, Sreenivas, & Gupta, 2014), Perceived Stigmatization Questionnaire (Lawrence, Fauerbach, Heinberg, & Thomas, 2006) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (Finlay & Khan, 1994) were used as assessment measures. Results revealed that most of the individuals with Vitiligo reported poorer perception of QoL; while, men with Vitiligo expressed better perceived QoL as compared to women. Individuals with both types of Vitiligo (lesions on exposed/unexposed regions) expressed ...

유머를 이용한 한국어 문화 교육 (Learning While Laughing: Integrating Language and Culture through Humor)

Bilingual Research (이중언어학) , 2009

Wang Hye-Sook. 2009. 2. 28. Learning while Laughing: Integrating Language and Culture through Humor. Bilingual Research 39, 171-211. This paper examines the use of humor in Korean language education. While various materials such as movies, TV dramas, proverbs, folk tales and the like have been widely used in Korean language education over the past decade or so, the application of humor in the classroom has not received due attention from educators and researchers to date. Although some teachers must have been using humor to varying degrees in their classes, the field lacks more formal discussion of the use of humor in Korean language education in general. The present paper discusses ways to use humor, the benefits and pitfalls of using humor in language classes, guidelines and principles of choosing humor, challenges of using humor, and actual examples that could be considered for use in the classroom. Humor can be, if properly used, an effective tool for integrating language and culture education

The Temperament and Character Inventory for Integrative Medicine

Journal of Oriental Neuropsychiatry, 2014

Objectives: The Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), initially developed by Dr. Cloninger in 1986, has been studied from various perspectives in many countries; however, its application in Korea has been limited due to a lack of information regarding the clinical use of integrative medicine. Methods and Results: A systematic review of previous studies on the theoretical development, structure, and content of temperament and character scales, as well as their stability and variability, is presented. In addition, the distinctive features of TCI as a biopsychosocial model and its clinical application regarding well-being, coherence therapy, and person-centered medicine were systematically reviewed. Discussion and Conclusion: The promotion of well-being with Cloninger's personality model and its importance for integrative medicine were discussed. This study would contribute to the clinical application of TCI in Korea.

The Effects of Job Satisfaction on Job Performance with the Moderating Effects of Leadership

The Journal of the Korea Contents Association, 2019

In today’s business environment, not only human resources management but work efficiency is getting substantial attention as well. Employees are one of the most significant and valuable resources in an organization who can play a critical role in accomplishing organizational goals and purposes. This study examines the effect of employee job satisfaction(affective and cognitive satisfaction) on job performance. Furthermore, this study examines the moderating effect of leadership type (transactional and servant leadership) between job satisfaction on job performance. As a result, affective and cognitive satisfaction were shown to positively affect employee job performance. Especially, cognitive satisfaction has more influenced on job performance than affective satisfaction. Second, transactional and servant leadership were not shown to affect employee job performance. However, transactional leadership had a moderating effect between job satisfaction on job performance. ■ keyword :∣Job...
