  • The purpose of this research is to identify stereotypes toward the single women(30-49 age) held by university students. Stereotypes toward the single women were examined at two levels: to assess students' beliefs about the traits of single women and to categorize the traits into stereotypes. The main results of this study were as follows: 1) Students reported 99 traits associated with the single women. 2) Hierarchical cluster analysis of the trait groupings revealed two high-level clusters: a cluster of 45 positive traits and a cluster of 54 negative traits. Within the positive and negative clusters, 10 middle-level categories, 4 positive categories(enjoy living affluently, independence-oriented, progressive, openhearted), and 6 negative categories(lack of vitality, pitiful, self-centered, picky, childish, self-defensive) were identified. This results suggested that young adults believed negative stereotypes are more typical than positive ones.

  • Determinants of consumption patterns of elderly couple and elderly single were investigated using the 1996 National Survey of Family Income and Expenditure by National Statistical Office. There were large differences in consumption patterns between the elderly couple and single in terms of monthly expenditures and average budget shares of individual consumption items. Consumption functions of individual items were estimated using double-log function. Major determinants of consumption functions were income, overspending behavior, educational level of householder, and net worth for both groups, householder's job status and city residence mainly for elderly couple, and age of householder mainly for elderly single. In addition, income elasticity of elderly households was larger than net worth elasticity for all consumption items.
