This study sought to investigate the personality and symptoms of Korean Coast Guard members.
A total of 136 Korea Coast Guard members were targeted and asked to accomplish the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) via the software SPSS version 23.0.
Korea Coast Guard members who worked on the ships for more than five years scored higher on the PD (psychopathic deviate), RC3, CYN (cynicism), and ASP (antisocial practices) scales of the MMPI than the group who worked for less than 5 years.
The findings suggest that members of the Korea Coast Guard may show significant antisocial score differences according to their ship working period and that a preventive approach is necessary to address this. These results suggested that the Korea Coast Guard may show significant antisocial score differences according to the ship working period, and that a preventive approach is necessary accordingly.
The purpose of this study was to test the relationships between academic burnout, mental health, parental achievement pressure, and academic demand in high school students.
For these aims of this study, data were collected from 430 students (185 males, 245 females) in three Korean high schools. It was used Korean Academic Burnout Scale, Parental achievement pressure, academic demand, and Symptom Check List-47. The research method used t-test to find out the difference of each variable according to academic burnout, and the variables predicting academic burnout through hierarchical multiple regression analysis.
As a result of correlation analysis, academic burnout showed negative correlation with achievement, and high positive correlation with all variables of mental health and academic demand. The results of multiple regression analysis revealed that academic burnout affects achievement, academic demand and depression in the subfactors of mental health.
These findings suggest that interventional efforts are needed for these emotional factors.
