This study aims to look into the relation among Saju experiences, Saju attitudes, social problem-solving, reliance, independence, and the attitude differences between men and women’s experiences about Saju. For social problem-solving scale, Maydeu-Olivares and D'Zurilla(1996)’s Social Problem Solving Inventory Revised(SPSI-R) that Choi Lee-sun re-standardizes as Korean version was used. In addition, for the reliance and independence scales, Singelis(1994)’s sale for children was revised and changed for adults. The correlation analysis were conducted to analyze the relations among the degree of Saju experiences, attitudes about Saju experiences, social problem-solving, reliance, independence, while one-way ANOVA on the differences attitudes about Saju, social problem-solving, reliance, and independence according to the frequency of Saju experiences were conducted. In addition, as to the differences between women and men’s attitudes about Saju, the independence group T-test were performed. The findings of this study are as follows; First, among 212 respondents, 96 had one time to three times Saju experiences(45.3%) in recent five years, 29 had four times to nine times Saju experiences(13.7%), and 87 had no Saju experience(41%), which shows the ratio of six to four about existence of the Saju experience. There were no significant relation among Saju experiences, sub-areas of social problem-solving, reliance, independence that is the psychological characteristic variables, but there was a positive relationship between Saju experiences and Saju attitudes. It means that there are no relationship among Saju experiences, social problem-solving, reliance, independence, and positive attitudes about Saju lead to Saju experiences. Second, there was no difference between men and women in terms of Saju attitude. This means that men and women consider Saju-myungrihak as a problem-solving method, not a shamanism or a superstition in society. This study suggest that attitudes about Saju affect Saju experiences more than variables of psychological characteristics. In particular, there are no relation among Saju experiences and independence, reliance that are psychological characteristic variables. Therefore, as a kind of information to lead individuals’ daily life profitably, Saju behaviors is the universal phenomenon in Korean society and it needs to reconsider it as a culturally familiar behavior in counseling and psychology.
