Objective The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the Soma experiencing motion (Soma e-motion) program on interoceptive awareness and self-compassion among novices. Methods A total of 19 adults (clinical group=9, non-clinical group=10) participated in the intervention. Psychological and physical changes after program were qualitatively analyzed using in-depth interviews. The Korean Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (K-MAIA) and the Korean version of the Self-Compassion Scale (K-SCS) were used as quantitative measures. Results The non-clinical group showed statistically significant differences in the K-MAIA scores (z=-2.805, p<0.01) and K-SCS scores (z=-2.191, p<0.05); however, the clinical group showed no significant differences (K-MAIA: z=-0.652, p>0.05; K-SCS: z=-0.178, p>0.05). According to the in-depth interviews, the results of the qualitative analysis were categorized into five dimensions (psychological and emotional, physical, cognitive, behavioral, and aspects participants found challenging and needs improvement). Conclusion The Soma e-motion program was feasible for improving interoceptive awareness and self-compassion in the non-clinical group. However, further research is needed to investigate the clinical efficacy of the Soma e-motion program for clinical group.

이 연구의 목적은 수행목표를 둘러싼 논쟁들을 해결하고, 동시에 성취목표 이론의 핵심적 특징을 반영하는 새로운 성취목표척도를 개발하고 타당화하는 것이다. 이를 위해 기존의 접근-회피, 숙달-수행목표 구분을 유지하면서 동시에 규준중심 수행목표와 능력중심 수행목표를 추가 구분함으로써, 숙달목표, 규준중심 수행접근목표, 능력중심 수행접근목표, 규준중심 수행회피목표, 능력중심 수행회피목표로 이루어진 5요인 성취목표척도를 개발하였다. 각각 고등학생과 중학생으로 이루어진 두 표본의 응답에 대해 확인적 요인분석을 실시한 결과, 5요인 성취목표 구조의 안정성을 지지하는 결과가 도출되었다. 개발된 성취목표척도의 준거타당도 검증을 위해 주요 선행변인과 결과변인을 함께 포함한 구조방정식 모형을 분석한 결과, 역시 5요인 구조를 지지하는 결과가 관찰되었다. 실패에 대한 두려움은 숙달목표를 제외한 모든 수행접근목표와 수행회피목표를 정적으로 예측하였으며, 학업적 자기효능감은 숙달목표와 수행접근목표를 정적으로, 수행회피목표를 부적으로 예측하였다. 특히 규준중심 수행접근목표는 학업성취를 정적으로 예측한 반면, 능력중심 수행접근목표는 학업성취를 부적으로 예측함으로써 수행목표의 상이한 두 측면을 독립적으로 측정할 필요성을 입증하였다. The purpose of the present study was to develop and validate a five-factor achievement goal scale for Korean adolescents that reflects the essential components of each achievement goal and, by doing so, resolves the ongoing controversy surrounding the performance goal. The new five-factor achievement goal scale consists of the mastery, normative performance-approach, ability-focused performance-approach, normative performance-avoidance, and ability-focused performance-avoidance goal subscales. Confirmatory factor analysis of the responses from middle and high school students demonstrated structural stability of the five-factor achievement goal structure. Validity of the five-factor achievement goal scale was further supported by the relationship of each achievement goal to its respective antecedents and an achievement index. Differential predictive utility of normative and ability-focused performance-approach goals was identified, as the former predicted achievement positively while the latter did so negatively. We discussed theoretical and practical implications of the new five-factor achievement goal scale and suggested directions for future research in this area.

이 연구에서는 청소년기 학습자의 수학 교과를 중심으로 학업지연 행동의 선행요인으로써 학습자의 기질적, 환경적, 동기적 요인의 역할을 검증하였다. 연구 1의 구조방정식 모형(SEM) 분석 결과, 학습자가 자신이 속한 수학 교실을 숙달목표구조로 지각하고, 수학 교과에 대한 학업적 자기효능감과 흥미가 높을수록 학업지연 행동은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 학습자가 지각하는 부모의 정서적 지지는 학업적 자기효능감을 유의하게 설명하고, 숙달목표구조는 학업적 자기효능감과 흥미를 유의하게 설명하였다. 수학 교과에 대한 실패공포와 유용가치는 학업지연 행동을 설명하지 않았다. 연구 1의 결과로부터 학업지연 행동에 회피적인 심리 기제가 관여하는지를 추가로 검증하기 위하여 후속 연구를 하였다. 연구 2의 구조방정식 모형(SEM) 분석 결과, 학습자의 학업적 자기효능감이 높을수록 학업지연 행동은 감소하는 반면 학습자가 정서비용을 높게 느낄수록 학업지연 행동은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 흥미와 학업지연 행동의 관계에서 정서비용의 매개 효과를 확인하였다. Academic procrastination refers to learners" irrational delay of schoolwork in the learning process. Academic procrastination deteriorates learners" successful academic experience and induces negative affection such as guilt and shame. In spite of diverse attempts to clarify antecedents of academic procrastination, findings on relevant antecedents have been either inconsistent or limited in scope. In this research, we examined potential antecedents of academic procrastination that included learners’ dispositional characteristics as well as environmental and motivational factors. Moreover, we investigated relationships among the antecedents to explain their predictive patterns on academic procrastination behavior. In Study 1, contrary to our expectation, neither learners’ fear of failure nor learners’ utility value directly predicted academic procrastination. Mastery goal structure, academic self-efficacy, and interest were direct negative predictors of academic procrastination. Academic self-efficacy was also a significant mediator between mastery goal structure and academic procrastination as well as between parental emotional support and academic procrastination. In Study 2, academic self-efficacy was again a direct negative predictor of academic procrastination. Also, both academic self-efficacy and interest negatively predicted learners’ emotional cost, which in turn, positively predicted academic procrastination. Even though interest did not predict academic procrastination directly in Study 2, it indirectly predicted academic procrastination via emotional cost.

A second occurrence focus (hereafter, SOF) is the phenomenon in which the focused constituent associated with a focus sensitive operator is repeated and becomes the given information, A production experiment was carried out to demonstrate how both prenuclear and postnuclear SOF in the utterance-medial position are prosodically realized by native speakers of English and to find out whether advanced Korean learners of English are aware of the conflicting informational structure of SOF and properly produce SOF constituents, In our results, second occurrence focused constituents have longer duration and greater intensity than non-focused constituents, and concerning pitch accents, it is hard to say that second occurrence focus does not have pitch accents. Since second occurrence focus has the conflicting contexts, Korean learners of English show incoherence in phonetic cues in production of SOF.

이선영 ( Lee Sun-young ),봉미미 ( Bong Mimi ),김성일 ( Kim Sung-il ) 안암교육학회 2016 한국교육학연구 Vol.22 No.3

본 연구에서는 학습자가 지각하는 교실목표구조, 학업적 자기효능감, 성취목표와 학업지연행동의 관계를 수학 교과를 중심으로 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 서울 소재의 중학교에 재학 중인 중학생 230명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 학습자가 지각하는 수학 교과의 숙달목표구조, 학업적 자기효능감, 수행회피목표는 학업지연 행동을 유의하게 예측하였다. 구체적으로, 학습자가 자신이 속한 수학 교실을 숙달목표구조로 강하게 인식하고 수학 교과에 대한 학업적 자기효능감이 높으면 학업지연 행동의 발생은 감소할 수 있지만 학습자의 수행회피목표가 높으면 학업지연 행동의 발생은 증가할 수 있다. 둘째, 학업적 자기효능감은 숙달목표구조와 학업지연 행동의 관계를 부분적으로 매개하였다. 본 연구에서는 매개 효과 검증을 통하여 학습자가 지각하는 교실목표구조가 학업지연 행동의 발생을 직접 예측하고 학업적 자기효능감을 매개로 하여 학업지연 행동의 발생을 간접적으로 예측하기도 하는 유의한 경로를 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 학습자의 학업지연 행동의 발생을 줄이기 위해서는 교사가 숙달목표구조의 학습 환경을 조성하고 학습자의 학업적 자기효능감을 증진할 수 있는 교수 방법을 적용하여야 한다는 교육적 시사점을 제공한다. The purpose of the current study was to examine the role of classroom goal structure, academic self-efficacy, and achievement goals on academic procrastination. Participants were 230 junior high school students in Seoul, South Korea. We analyzed descriptive statistics and correlations, and performed confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling using SPSS 16.0 and AMOS 18.0 programs. The results were as follows. First, mastery goal structure negatively predicted academic procrastination and positively predicted academic self-efficacy and mastery goals. Also, self-efficacy negatively predicted academic procrastination. More specifically, students who are perceiving strong mastery goal structure or endorsing high academic self-efficacy showed less academic procrastination. However, students who are pursuing performance avoidance goals showed greater academic procrastination. Second, evidence supported the mediating role of academic self-efficacy between mastery goal structure and academic procrastination. Mastery goal structure directly and indirectly predicted academic procrastination. Therefore, teachers should construct mastery goal structure and apply appropriate teaching strategies to enhance academic self-efficacy in the classroom. The results of this study provide practical suggestions for helping students who are suffering from chronic academic procrastination in learning.

IP-10 Expression in Patients with Chronic HBV Infection and Its Ability to Predict the Decrease in HBsAg Levels after Treatment with Entecavir

Zhao, Kai,Yang, Tao,Sun, Mimi,Zhang, Wei,An, Yong,Chen, Gang,Jin, Lei,Shang, Qinghua,Song, Wengang Korean Society for Molecular and Cellular Biology 2017 Molecules and cells Vol.40 No.6

Interferon-${\gamma}$-inducible protein 10 (IP-10), also known as chemokine C-X-C motif ligand (CXCL) 10, is closely associated with antiviral immunity and the progression of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). However, the value of baseline serological and histological IP-10 expression levels in predicting the efficacy of the antiviral response to nucleoside/nucleotide analogues (NAs) is still unknown. In our research, intrahepatic and peripheral IP-10 expression levels were systemically examined before and after treatment with entecavir (ETV). Baseline serological and histological IP-10 expression levels were significantly increased in patients with CHB, particularly in patients with higher degrees of liver inflammation and liver fibrosis. Moreover, higher baseline intrahepatic IP-10 levels indicated better prognoses in patients with CHB after entecavir therapy. The baseline IP-10 level was also positively associated with several clinical parameters, including baseline levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), and with the decrease in HBsAg levels after treatment. In addition, monocyte-derived IP-10 was expressed at higher levels in patients with CHB than in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) and healthy controls (HC). According to the results of our in vitro experiments, IP-10 directly promoted hepatocyte apoptosis. Based on these findings, baseline serological and histological IP-10 levels might predict CHB severity and the decrease in HBsAg levels after entecavir therapy.

황혜연(Hyeayun Hwang),이선영(Sun-Young Lee),권순구(Soon Koo Kwon),봉미미(Mimi Bong) 고려대학교 교육문제연구소 2016 敎育問題硏究 Vol.29 No.3

이 연구의 목적은 한국 청소년이 지각하는 부모의 정서적 지원과 성취압력이 학생의 자기조절학습전략 사용, 도움요청 회피, 그리고 학업성취도에 미치는 예측력을 검증하는 것이다. 또한 이들 변인 간 관계에서 자기효능감과 성취목표의 매개효과, 그리고 자기효능감의 조절효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 대상교과목은 수학이며, 서울 소재 고등학교 남학생 452명의 설문응답을 구조방정식 모형을 사용하여 분석하였다. 응답자 전체가 포함된 분석에서는 부모로부터의 정서적 지원과 성취압력이 학습자의 자기효능감과 성취목표 모두를 정적으로 예측하였고, 자기효능감과 수행접근목표가 부모 변인과 자기조절학습 변인 사이를 유의하게 매개하였다. 그러나 자기효능감 수준 상, 하위 각 33.3%만을 대상으로 한 다집단구조방정식 모형 분석의 경우, 자기효능감이 낮은 집단보다 자기효능감이 높은 집단에서 부모 변인과 학습자 변인 간 통계적으로 유의한 경로가 보다 많이 관찰되었다. 자기효능감이 높은 남학생들은 부모의 정서적 지원과 성취압력이 강하다고 지각할수록 도움요청 회피 행동을 많이 하였고, 특히 부모의 성취압력을 강하게 지각할수록 학업성취도가 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 이들 경로는 자기효능감이 낮은 남학생 집단에서는 유의하지 않았다. 이 연구의 결과는 부모 변인의 역할을 정확히 이해하기 위해서는 학 습자 동기 변인과의 상호작용을 고려해야 한다는 시사점을 제공한다. We examined the predictive utility of perceived parental support and achievement pressure on students’ use of self-regulatory learning strategies, help-seeking avoidance, and achievement in mathematics. Academic self-efficacy and achievement goals were specified as mediators. Responses of 452 high school boys were analyzed using structural equation modeling. With the total sample, parental support and achievement pressure positively predicted students’ self-efficacy, mastery goals, and performance-approach goals. Self-efficacy and performance-approach goals were significant mediators in the relationship between parent and student self-regulatory variables. When the responses of only those in the top 33.3% and the bottom 33.3% of the self-efficacy score were compared, several paths differed significantly between the two groups. The students with strong self-efficacy reported greater help-seeking avoidance as they perceived greater parental support and achievement pressure. Their achievement also decreased with increasing parental pressure. None of these paths was significant for the students with weak self-efficacy. To understand the role of parental support and pressure accurately, potential interaction between parental influence and student motivation should thus be taken into account.

Background/Aims: The pathophysiology of lean nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is unclear but has been shown to be associated with more diverse pathogenic mechanisms than that of obese NAFLD. We investigated the characteristics of genetic or metabolic lean NAFLD in a health checkup cohort. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed single nucleotide polymorphism data for 6,939 health examinees. Lean individuals were categorized according to a body mass index cutoff of 23 kg/m2. Single nucleotide polymorphisms were analyzed using genotyping arrays. Results: The prevalence of lean NAFLD was 21.6% among all participants with NAFLD, and the proportion of lean NAFLD was 18.5% among lean participants. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome and diabetes among lean patients with NAFLD was 12.4% and 10.4%, respectively. Lean NAFLD appeared to be metabolic-associated in approximately 20.1% of patients. The homozygous minor allele (GG) of PNPLA3 (rs738409) and heterozygous minor alleles (CT, TT) of TM6SF2 (rs58542926) were associated with lean NAFLD. However, the prevalence of fatty liver was not associated with the genetic variants MBOAT7 (rs641738), HSD17B13 (rs72613567), MARC1 (rs2642438), or AGXT2 (rs2291702) in lean individuals. Lean NAFLD appeared to be associated with PNPLA3 or TM6SF2 genetic variation in approximately 32.1% of cases. Multivariate risk factor analysis showed that metabolic risk factors, genetic risk variants, and waist circumference were independent risk factors for lean NAFLD. Conclusions: In a considerable number of patients, lean NAFLD did not appear to be associated with known genetic or metabolic risk factors. Further studies are required to investigate additional risk factors and gain a more comprehensive understanding of lean NAFLD.
