- Professor Lee Jae-kook of the Department of Media and Communication Publishes New Book 'Fake News: What's the Problem?'
- Professor Lee Jae-kook of the Department of Media and Communication Publishes New Book 'Fake News: What's the Problem?' The problem of fake news is getting worse. With the development of artificial intelligence technology and changes in society, it has become a world where anyone can easily create and spread plausible fake news, and the impact and harm of fake news are also increasing significantly. The government and other organizations are working hard to prevent fake news that divides communities and distorts citizens' decision-making process, but they have not been able to reach a fundamental solution. It is important to note that it is difficult to completely solve the problem of fake news through any one effort. Various social actors such as educational institutions, governments, media, and platform companies should work together to combat fake news. Professor Lee Jae-kook of the Department of Media and Communication introduces in detail the countermeasures necessary to curb the spread of fake news and ensure that users have access to more accurate and reliable information in their book 'Fake News: What is the Problem?'. ● Author | Lee Jae Kook Professor of Media and Communication at Sungkyunkwan University and member of the Korea Newspaper Ethics Committee. After graduating from university, he worked as a reporter for the JoongAng Ilbo as his first job, stepping into the world of journalism and media. After that, he received his Ph.D. in journalism from the University of Texas in the U.S., and studied people's communication behaviors and their social impacts in the changing media environment such as the Internet, social media, and artificial intelligence. He is the author of several books and academic papers, including "Podcast Journalism," "Social Science in an Age of Transition and Change," and "Finding a New Way in Journalism in Crisis." He was a professor at Indiana University's Media School in the U.S., and now he has moved to Korea to teach students. ● Testimonials | Kim Bum-joon, Professor of Physics, Sungkyunkwan University (Author of 『The Physics of the World's Matters』) Not only news that calmly contains the truth, but also sensational fake news comes to us every day. Fake news has fomented hatred and discrimination, influenced elections, and even killed people and started wars. It's a wonderful book that explains what fake news is, what its intentions are, how it spreads, and what efforts are needed to stop it. The fight against fake news, which will continue in the future, has only just begun. I recommend this book to all of us, which is all about fake news. Media literacy should be a compulsory skill for everyone.

- Prof. Da-Eun Park's research team published a study of 'emotional recognition increasing children's persistence
- Prof. Da-Eun Park's research team published a study of 'emotional recognition increasing children's persistence Professor Daeun Park of the Department of Psychology and master's student Jiwon Jeon recently published a study showing that 'emotional recognition' (e.g., "Yes, it would have been difficult for me") can increase the persistence of children aged 4~6. The research team published this study in Developmental Science, an internationally renowned journal in the field of developmental psychology. In the study, children were given a puzzle that was difficult to solve, and then their reactions were seen when they failed the task. The children received three different types of feedback after the failure, with the first group (the emotional recognition group) saying, "I was upset because I couldn't solve the puzzle. I think I could feel that way too", while the children in the second group (the emotionally unsympathetic group) said, "Were you upset because you couldn't solve the puzzle? I don't know why I felt that way", and the last group of children (the non-responders) simply received feedback that "I understand". Afterwards, all groups of children were given another challenging task (the task of opening the lid of a toy that could not be opened) and measured how long the children persisted in the task without giving up. The researchers found that the children in the emotionally recognized group showed persistence in performing tasks for significantly longer periods of time than the other two groups. This translates into emotional recognition that positively regulates children's emotional responses and increases their willingness to overcome difficulties when faced with them. These findings highlight the importance of acknowledging the emotions of others, not only in the parent-child relationship, but also in everyday interpersonal relationships, suggesting that emotional recognition can affect personal achievement beyond positive and productive interactions. This study is the first study in Korea and abroad to scientifically investigate the effect of emotional recognition on children's persistence. In addition, the results of the research were presented by a master's student Jeon Jiwon during the degree program, which is attracting more attention. ○ Thesis title: Your feelings are reasonable: Emotional validation promotes persistence among preschoolers ○ Journal: Developmental Science ○ DOI: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/desc.13523
