심민선,김용찬,계수연,박기호 대한의학회 2016 Journal of Korean medical science Vol.31 No.8

How the news media cover cancer may have profound significance for cancer prevention and control; however, little is known about the actual content of cancer news coverage in Korea. This research thus aimed to examine news portrayal of specific cancer types with respect to threat and efficacy, and to investigate whether news portrayal corresponds to actual cancer statistics. A content analysis of 1,138 cancer news stories was conducted, using a representative sample from 23 news outlets (television, newspapers, and other news media) in Korea over a 5-year period from 2008 to 2012. Cancer incidence and mortality rates were obtained from the Korean Statistical Information Service. Results suggest that threat was most prominent in news stories on pancreatic cancer (with 87% of the articles containing threat information with specific details), followed by liver (80%) and lung cancers (70%), and least in stomach cancer (41%). Efficacy information with details was conveyed most often in articles on colorectal (54%), skin (54%), and liver (50%) cancers, and least in thyroid cancer (17%). In terms of discrepancies between news portrayal and actual statistics, the threat of pancreatic and liver cancers was overreported, whereas the threat of stomach and prostate cancers was underreported. Efficacy information regarding cervical and colorectal cancers was overrepresented in the news relative to cancer statistics; efficacy of lung and thyroid cancers was underreported. Findings provide important implications for medical professionals to understand news information about particular cancers as a basis for public (mis)perception, and to communicate effectively about cancer risk with the public and patients.

코로나19 팬데믹 시기 부부간 소통과 관계 변화: 관계 난기류 이론(Relational Turbulence Theory)을 적용한 설문조사 연구

심민선 한국소통학회 2022 한국소통학보 Vol.21 No.2

본 연구는 코로나19 팬데믹 기간에 결혼생활 변화에 대응하기 위한 부부간 소통과 관계 변화를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 관계 난기류 이론(relational turbulence theory) 을 이론적 틀로 사용해서 코로나19가 초래한 관계 과도기에 부부 관계의 불확실성(자 기·배우자·관계 불확실성) 및 배우자의 영향(방해·도움)이 부부간 소통에 어떠한 영 향을 미치는지, 그리고 부부간 소통이 관계 난기류에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 연구하였 다. 전국의 기혼 성인남녀 1,007명을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 수행한 결과, 자기 불 확실성은 관계 불확실성에 정적 영향을, 부부간 소통에는 부적 영향을 미쳤다. 배우자 불확실성 역시 관계 불확실성에 정적 효과를 미쳤다. 배우자의 영향 중 도움은 부부간 소통을 증가시키는 효과가 있었으나 방해의 효과는 발견되지 않았다. 부부간 소통은 관 계 난기류에 부적 영향을 미쳤으며, 자기 불확실성과 배우자의 도움이 관계 난기류에 미치는 영향은 직접효과와 부부간 소통에 의해 매개되는 간접효과 모두 나타났다. 본 연구는 관계 난기류 이론을 코로나19 기간 국내 부부 관계에 적용하여 검증한 이론적 의의와 함께, 장기간 지속된 감염병 위기에 대응할 소통 중심의 실천적 방안을 도출하는 함의가 있다. This research examines the relational turbulence from the COVID-19 pandemic in marital relationships. Based on the relational turbulence theory, this research examines the effects of relational uncertainty (consisting of self, partner, and relationship uncertainty) and partner influence (including interference and facilitation) on communication with a spouse, which in turn leads to relational turbulence. Online survey was conducted with a nationwide sample of 1,007 married adults in Korea. Results showed that self uncertainty was positively associated with relationship uncertainty and negatively associated with marital communication. Partner uncertainty was also positively associated with relationship uncertainty. Facilitation from a spouse was likely to increase marital communication, whereas the effect of interference from a spouse was not significant. Marital communication had a negative effect on relational turbulence; on relational turbulence, self uncertainty and facilitation from a spouse had both direct and indirect effects mediated through martial communication. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Objectives: Building upon from the Fuzzy Trace Theory, this study aimed to examine the effects of gist-based health messages on message reception and behavioral intention. Methods: We conducted online experiments employing 2 by 2 between-subject design with 451 adults in 20s in the context of sugar overconsumption. We performed analysis of variance and multiple regressions to test the effects of message features on participants’ message recall and interpretation, risk perception, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention, as well as their interaction effects with participants’ thinking style. Results: Overall, exposure to gist-based messages was likely to increase message recall and interpretation. There were some noteworthy interaction effects between message exposure and participants’ thinking style on outcome variables. Conclusions: These findings suggest that more efforts be made to develop effective gist-based health messages and invite further research for empirical evidence.

Background: This study aimed to examine (1) the patterns of online health information search with respect to seeking and scanning, and (2) how online search, along with eHealth literacy, predicts perceived information usefulness in the context of diet and weight control. Methods: Online survey was conducted with 299 adults from the consumer panel recruited for the purpose of quality assessment of the Korean National Health Information Portal in 2016. We conducted paired sample t-test and multiple logistic regression to address the research questions. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 24.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) and SAS ver. 9.3 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). Results: Of the respondents, 38.8% were ‘high seek-high scanners,’ 35.8% were ‘low seek-low scanners,’ 13.0% were ‘high seek-low scanners,’ and 12.4% were ‘low seek-high scanners.’ eHealth literacy was a significant, positive predictor of online information scanning (odds ratio [OR], 2.46; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.41-4.29), but not for online information seeking (OR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.00- 3.05). With respect to perceived usefulness of online information seeking, online seeking (OR, 4.90; 95% CI, 2.19-11.00) and eHealth literacy (OR, 2.30; 95% CI, 1.11-4.75) were significant predictors. Perceived usefulness of online scanning had a significant association with online scanning (OR, 2.38; 95% CI, 1.08-5.22), but not with eHealth literacy. Conclusion: To increase the effectiveness of the health policy for online information search and related outcomes in the context of diet and weight control, it is important to develop education programs promoting eHealth literacy.

  In this paper, the effects of graphic organizers are studied for elementary students" English writings. The writing experiment was performed for 12 weeks on the 6th grade students of 2 classes at S Elementary School in Seoul, Korea (N=56). In order to find out the different effects between graphic organizers and brainstorming, each class students used the former and the other turn by turn in their pre-writing stage. Their writing activities were conducted through the process oriented writing approach and the peer correction. The data from interviews and questionnaires were also collected. As a result, the students could write more sentences and make more systematic composition with graphic organizers. Especially graphic organizers were helpful for them in dealing with difficult topics. Furthermore, the process oriented writing approach and peer corrections reduced teachers" burden of correcting errors in students" writing. Based on the result of this study, the use of graphic organizers is expected to be effective in teaching English writing for elementary school learners. This study, however, began with limited in scope. Further studies on different large scale assessments are needed, which may provide a stepping stone for developing the English writing teaching methods.

This study aimed to examine the effects of gist-based messages in the context of particulate matter. In particular, we examined the effects of gist-based messages on message reception, risk perception, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention, as well as their interaction effects with individuals’ thinking styles. We conducted online experiments employing 2 by 2 between-subject design. The results indicate that exposure to gist-based messages was likely to increase message recall and interpretation, whereas it lowered risk perception. Gist-based messages had no significant effects on self-efficacy and behavioral intentions. The interaction effects between message exposure and intuitive thinking styles had significant effects on outcome variables. Specifically, participants with a stronger intuitive thinking style showed much higher risk perception and information seeking intention when they read gist-based messages. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed. 본 연구는 미세먼지와 관련하여 핵심정보 중심의 직관적 메시지가 일반 공중의 메시지 수용 및 위험 인식, 자기효능감, 대처행동 의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 나아가 개인의 직관적․분석적 인지양식과 상호작용 효과를 가지는지 탐색하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 핵심요지 직접 제시 유무 집단과 세부정보에 대한 질적 해석 유무 집단의 2×2 집단 간 요인설계로 온라인 실험을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 핵심정보 중심의 메시지 구성은 메시지 내용 기억과 이해에 유의미한 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로나타났다. 반면 위험 인식에는 부적 영향을 미쳤으며, 자기효능감, 예방행동 의도, 정보추구 의도에 미치는 영향은 유의미하지 않았다. 한편, 메시지 효과와 개인의 인지양식과의 상호작용은 직관적 인지양식에 한해서 나타났는데, 핵심정보 중심 메시지를 읽은 후 직관적 인지양식이 강한 사람들일수록 위험 인식과 정보추구 의도가높아졌다. 본 연구의 결과는 미세먼지에 대한 불안이 높은 국내 환경에서 효과적인미세먼지 위험 메시지 전략을 수립하는 데 유용한 이론적․실무적인 방향을 제시해줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
