This study was intended to investigate the level of technostress, teaching efficacy, ego-resilience, and the relationships with colleagues of early childhood teachers. It was also intended to identify correlations between these four variables, and any moderating effects of ego-resilience, and relationship with colleagues on the association of technostress and teaching efficacy.
The data were collected from 202 early childhood teachers in Seoul and Kyoung-gi province, from September 3, 2018 to September 29, 2018, and were analyzed by descriptive statistics, pearson correlation, and hierarchical regression analysis using the SPSS 22.0 program.
The results showed technostress at a moderate level, and teaching efficacy, ego-resilience, and relationship with colleague at slightly higher levels. There were negative associations between technostress and teaching efficacy, ego-resilience, and relationship with colleague teachers, and positive associations among teaching efficacy, ego-resilience, and relationship with colleague teachers. A partial moderating effect of ego-resilience and relationship with colleague teachers on the association between technostress and teaching efficacy, was found.
These results suggest that the effects of a high level of technostress on teaching efficacy of early childhood teachers could be alleviated dependant on the levels of ego-resilience and relationship with colleagues.
The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating effects of resilience on the relation between interpersonal stress and binge eating behavior in female college students.
We investigated the relationships among interpersonal stress, resilience, and binge eating behavior of 213 female college students, and examined the moderating effects of resilience and its subcomponents (sense of control, sociality, and positivity) on the relationship between interpersonal stress and binge eating behavior through hierarchical multiple regression analysis.
Firstly, interpersonal stress indicated significant negative correlation with resilience and indicated significant positive correlation with binge eating behavior. Resilience and binge eating behavior indicated significant negative correlation. Secondly, resilience did not moderate the relation between interpersonal stress and binge eating behavior of female college students. However, the sense of control, an aspect of resilience, moderated the relationship between interpersonal stress and binge eating behavior of female college students.
The results of this study suggest that higher interpersonal stress may increase the risk for binge eating behavior and that higher resilience may protect against binge eating behavior. The sense of control, an aspect of resilience, may enhance associations between interpersonal stress and binge eating behaviors in female college students.

The purpose of this study was to examine moderating effects of relationship reasons for living between stress and suicidal ideation among college students. The subject of this study were 608 college students and subjects completed a test of stress, reasons for living, Impulsivity, suicidal ideation. The data were analyzed by corrlation analysis, hierarchical analysis. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. First, stress were significantly affected to the suicidal ideation. Second, reasons for living, Impulsivity moderated the association between stress and suicidal ideation. Based upon these findings we suggested to develop comprehensive suicidal prevention program and the implications and limitations of these findings were discussed, and directions for future studies were also proposed.
