A Total of 1,400 questionnaires were distributed in Suwon, Gyeonggi, where "2012 Peace Cup Suwon" was held from July, 19th through 22nd of 2012. For data analysis, 1,346 final valid samples were used for frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis through PASW 18.0.
