The purpose of this study was to summarize the empirical literature on implementation of positive behavior support (PBS) within a multi-tiered system of supports in American and Korean schools and to compare its key features and outcomes in an attempt to suggest future directions for development of a Korean school-wide PBS model and implementation manuals as well as directions for future research. Twenty-four American articles and 11 Korean articles (total 35 articles) that reported the outcomes of implementation of PBS at a tier 1 and/or tier 2, or tier 3 level and that met established inclusion criteria were analyzed using systematic procedures. Comparisons were made in the areas of key features and outcomes of PBS in addition to general methodology (e.g., participants, design, implementation duration, dependent measures) at each tier of PBS. The results indicated that positive outcomes for student behavior and other areas were reported across tiers in all American and Korean studies. At the tier 1 level, teaching expectations and rules were the primary focus of PBS in American and Korean schools. However, Korean schools focused on modifying the school and classroom environments and teaching social skills whereas American schools focused on teacher training on standardized interventions or curricular by experts and teacher support during implementation of PBS. At the tier 2 level, more American studies reported implementation of tier 2 interventions within school-wide PBS, and Check/In Check/Out (CICO) was found to be the most commonly used tier 2 intervention. The results also indicated that in comparison to Korean schools, American schools were more likely to use systematic screening tools or procedures to identify students who need tier 2 interventions and more likely to promote parental involvement with implementing interventions. At the tier 3 level, more Korean studies reported the outcomes of individualized interventions, but more American studies reported that designing individualized intervention plans based on comprehensive functional behavior assessment results and establishment of systematic screening systems were focused when implementing individualized interventions. Furthermore, few Korean studies reported the assessment of procedural integrity, social validity, and contextual fit in implementing PBS across tiers, indicating the need for development of valid instruments that could be used in assessing these areas. Based on these results, limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are discussed.

The self-report assessment has been most commonly used to estimate bullying/victimization (B/V) rates in most domestic and international prevalence studies. However, the presence of many potential biasing factors in such an assessment method, including specific operationalization/measurement strategies and testing conditions, has become an issue due to a considerable variability in reported involvement rates across studies. This study analyzed self-reported B/V involvement rates on Olweus Bullying Questionnaire (OBQ) among 690 Korean middle school students by gender and two different cut-offs (generous vs. strict cut-offs) and examined if the involvement rates were significantly varied by testing conditions such as presentation vs. omission of a precise definition of B/V, anonymous vs. non-anonymous/confidential administration, and the use of global vs. specific questions. Chi-square analyses revealed that boys displayed higher involvement rates on global measures of B/V and on items related to direct forms of B/V, with no significant gender differences on specific measures of relational B/V rates. It was also found that a global rate of bullying and specific rates of verbal B/V were 111% to 157% higher when no definition was provided. However, anonymous vs. non-anonymous administration had no significant impacts on rates of involvement, except for one item; there were also no significant differences in reported degrees of frankness and perceived confidentiality of their responses across two adminstration conditions. Finally, when involvement rates were assessed by using specific vs. global items, they were 68% to 148% higher with binominal correlations in low to moderate ranges. Findings also indicated that global items had a high specificity but a relatively low sensitivity. Implications of these findings were fully discussed for researchers and practitioners in the field of B/V assessment.

The purpose of this study was to examine the moderated mediating effect of cognitive emotion regulation strategies through depression on the relationship between self-discrepancy and SNS addiction tendency. A total of 501 Korean college students(Males: 191/Females: 310) from two colleges in Seoul and Chung-Nam, participated in this study by responding to the following questionnaires: SNS Addiction Proneness Scale for College Students, Actual and Ideal Selves Questionnaire, The Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depressions(CES-D), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), The data analysis was done using SPSS Statistics 18.0 VERSION and SPSS Process macro version 2.16 The main findings were as follows. First, SNS addiction tendency, self-discrepancy, depression and cognitive emotion regulation strategies showed statistically significant correlations. adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies had a negative correlation with SNS addiction tendency, self-discrepancy, depression. And maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies had a positive correlation with SNS addiction tendency, self-discrepancy, depression. Second, a mediating model showed that the relationship between self-discrepancy and SNS addiction tendency was partially mediated by depression. Third, using multiple regression and slope analysis, the moderation effect of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies on the relationship between self-discrepancy and depression was found, but not for adaptive emotion regulation strategies. Finally, maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies also moderated the mediating effect of self-discrepancy on SNS addiction tendency through depression. In this study, the pathway leading to the SNS addiction tendency was examined jointly, including self-discrepancy, depression and cognitive emotional regulation strategies. And the results of this study can be effectively utilized in counseling and prevention education practice for SNS addiction. Also, limitations of the study and suggestions for future study were discussed.

The study was designed to develop and examine the effects of group coaching program to overcome academic procrastination based on the transtheoretical model for middle school students. The program consisted of eight processes of change including the consciousness-raising, emotional arousal, self-reevaluation, commitment, reward, countering, environment control, helping relationships. and confidence enhancement. The program consisted of a total of eight sessions including 90 minutes per session and the final program was completed after a preliminary experiment on 19 middle school students. In order to verify the effectiveness of the program, the program was implemented to 54 middle school students who were assigned 16 for the experiment group, 16 for the comparison group, and 22 for the control group. While the experiment group participated in the group coaching program based on the transtheoretical model developed in this study, the comparison group participated in the time management program. The control group did not participate in any program. The experiment, comparison, and control group were tested in pre, post, and follow-up(1 month, 3 months) in order to decisional balance of academic procrastination control, self-efficacy of academic procrastination control, stages of change in academic procrastination control, academic procrastination, and self-directed learning ability. The program effect analysis was conducted on 41 individuals, 13 in the experiment group, 13 in the comparison group and 15 in the control group, except for 13 who scored low academic procrastination in the pre-test. One-way ANOVA analysis was conducted to confirm the homogeneity of the three groups, and then mixed ANOVA analysis was conducted to verify the interaction between time interval and group. The results showed that the interaction between time interval and group was significant in cons recognition of academic procrastination control, self-efficacy of academic procrastination control, stages of change in academic procrastination control, academic procrastination. Thus, the group coaching program to overcome academic procrastination based on the transtheoretical model developed in this study has been shown to be effective in modifying overcoming academic procrastination of middle school students. Also, it was confirmed that the coaching effectiveness was maintained. Based on the results of this study, implications and limitations of this study and future research were discussed.
