Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify whether education on the placebo effect has significant impacts on the knowledge of the placebo effect, as well as the intention of healing food intake. For this purpose, 37 experimental group students and 29 control group students participated in the experiment. The results were as follows. First, education on the placebo effect did not appear to have significant impact on the functional value although it did have significant impact on emotional value and nutritional value. Second, knowledge of the placebo effect gained from the education had significant influence on intention of healing food intake. Third, only nutritional value showed a statistically positive (+) impact on intention of healing food intake.

본 연구의 목적은 플라세보 효과 지식 교육이 힐링음식 이용의도에 유의적인 효과가 있는지 검증하고 효과가 있는 경우 플라세보 효과 지식 변화에 따른 힐링음식 이용의도 변화를 가져오는지 검증하는 데 있다. 이를 위하여 대학생 조리과 39명의 실험집단과 29명의 통제집단으로 나누어 실험 관찰하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 플라세보 효과 지식 교육은 감정적 가치와 영양적 가치는 유의적인 영향력이 있었으나, 기능적 가치에서는 유의적인 효과가 없었다. 둘째, 플라세보 효과 지식의 변화는 힐링음식 이용의도에 유의적인 영향력이 없었다. 셋째, 플라세보 효과의 영양적 가치 지식에 따른 힐링음식 이용의도에 유의적인 정(+)의 영향력이 있었으나, 기능적 가치와 정서적 가치는 유의적인 영향력이 없었다.
