Abstract
The purpose of this study aimed to examine the effect of use of MSG, balanced eating habit, perceived life happiness on psychological satisfaction with food in elementary, middle, and high school parents. In addition, the mediation effect of reducing unbalanced eating habit on the relationship between psychological satisfaction with food and use of MSG. For this analysis, 800 samples were collected from parents in Seoul metropolitan area. Regression analysis and mediation analysis with boostrapping were conducted. The findings of this study were as follows: (1) Group using MSG is more satisfied with food-related life than group not using it. (2) Perceived life happiness and healthy eating habit were positively related to satisfaction with food-relate life. Lastly, (3) Reducing of unbalanced eating habit was a partial mediator of the relationship between use of MSG and satisfaction with food-related life. It suggests that there is an association between use of MSG and satisfaction with food-related life, the positive effects of which may be mediated by expectancy of reducing unbalanced diet.
