This study was designed to investigate the specific non-food traits perceived by consumers in fine restaurant selection. Also, it prioritized those examined traits. Building on exploratory qualitative research, results from 11 interviews through focus group sessions were utilized in data analysis. Content analysis of the interviews enabled categorization of the associations. The categorized variables were utilized for empirical data analysis of conjoint analysis. First, the results suggested five superior traits such as atmosphere, price, customer relations, employee competence, and convenience of systems in fine restaurant brand association.

The study was conducted to compare and analyze the importance and performance of leisure destination selection attributes of persons who use recreational forests and rural tourism villages. This researcher investigated the use patterns of users to identify the ground for connection between recreational forest and rural tourism village, analyzed their recognition differences in physical selection attribute, program selection attribute, and service selection attribute in order for leisure destination selection, and conducted importance-performance analysis(IPA analysis) to draw a plan for connection. The main results and suggestions are presented as follows. First, recreational forests were visited by family users in order for rest and emotional cultivation and provided experience programs using simple public interest function of forest, whereas rural tourism villages were visited by family users, friends and co-workers, groups and club members to experience a variety of annual programs and understand regional cultures. It was found that it was necessary to connect natural forest with rural tourism village in order to meet the leisure needs of the people changed in diversified ways. Secondly, it was found that the connection between rural tourism village and recreational forest visited mainly for simple rest led to positive visit intention of users. It was expected that there will be various kinds of uses, including experience program participation, child education, and safe accommodations security. In other words, the connection between recreational forest and rural tourism village is an alternative to trigger actual demands and recreational forest activities with high quality. Thirdly, in the case of users of recreational forests, their performance of all selection attributes was lower than their importance of them. Therefore, overall improvements were needed. In particular, needed were the diversity, benefit, and promotion of programs, improvements in locality(themes), supply of lodges and convenient facilities, booking system, the purchase system of local special products, and professional skills of operators and managers. On contrary, the performance of program selection attribute of rural tourism village was high. Therefore, it was found that program attribute of rural tourism village was the main connection factor to activate recreational forest use. Fourthly, according to IPA analysis, the proper connections between loges, convenient facilities, and nearby touristattractions, which give high expectations and satisfaction to users, needed to remain. And it was required to make common efforts to accomplish the goal (income creation) of rural tourism village and improve booking system for visitors and performance of local special products sales opportunity. In addition, the essential factors to induce users' leisure destination selection were found to be maintenance of the use fee system of recreational forest, diversity of rural tourism village program, and retention of locality.

반려인 1,000만명 시대로 우리나라 전체 가구의 26.4%가 반려동물 양육가구이고 매년 증가하고 있다. 반려동물 산업규모는 매년 성장하고 있으며, 2027년에는 6조억원을 넘어설 것으로 전망하고 있고, 그 중 반려동물병원이 제공하는 의료서비스 산업의 규모는 41.8%로 추정된다. 반려동물 산업의 성장으로 반려동물병원도 증가하고 있다. 반려동물병원은 점점 다양화, 전문화, 대형화되어 가고 있으며, 병원간 경쟁이 심화되고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 고객의 요구는 점점 다양화, 세분화, 고도화되고 있다. 따라서 이제 반려동물병원들은 고객만족 중심의 서비스와 경영 환경 개선에 관심을 갖고, 고객의 충성도를 확보하기 위한 노력이 필요하다. 이렇듯 급변하고 경쟁적인 환경에 대응하기 위해 고객의 요구를 정확하게 파악해야 하지만, 관련 연구는 아직 활발하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 반려동물병원의 선택속성과 이용만족에 관한 연구를 동물병원의 선택속성을 측정하여 분석하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 반려동물병원의 경영 실무자들에게 고객의 이용만족을 높이기 위해 어떠한 요인에 더욱 집중하고, 관리해야 하는지 방향을 제시해 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 그리고 더 나아가 반려동물 산업의 관계자들이 반려동물을 양육하는 보호자에 대해 이해를 하는 데 도움을 주는 결과가 도출될 것으로 기대한다.

Kaplan(2000) reported that instances were categorized more accurate in the aligned condition than in the non-aligned condition irrespective of similarity between instances[16]. This study investigated wether Kaplan(2000)\\`s results could be explained by stimulus types she used and alignment effects in categorization were due to selective attention to aligned attributes. In Experiment 1. I examined whether attribute alignment produced significant effects on similarity and categorization and aligned attributes were recalled more than non-aligned ones. Results showed that instances were rated more similar and categories were learned more rapidly in the aligned condition than in the non-aligned condition. It can be explained that categories are learned rapidly in the aligned condition because attribute alignment increases within-category similarity. But. the result that aligned attributes were recalled more than non-aliened ones in the attribute recall test implies that alignment effects in categorization can be independent of similarity between instances partially. In Experiment 2. I used equal numbed of attributes defining two categories and instructed subjects to pay their attention to categorization-relevant dimensions only. Results showed that dimension instruction facilitated category learning in the non-aligned condition only but categories were learned more rapidly in the aligned condition than in the non-aliened condition irrespective of instruction types. In conclusion. attribute alignment in categorization may facilitate paying selective attention to categorization-relevant attributes.

In this study, we investigated high school students' analogy generating processes using the think-aloud method. Twelve high school students in Seoul participated in this study. The students were asked to generate analogies on ionic bonding and were also interviewed after their activities. Their activities and interviews were recorded and videotaped. After classifying the analogy generating processes into the three stages-encoding, exploring sources, and mapping, several process components were identified. The analyses of the results indicated that they checked the target concept given and selected one for a salient attribute among many attributes of the target concept at the stage of encoding. After selecting the salient attribute, they translated the salient attribute that is a scientific term into an everyday term, which is named as 'extracting salient similarities.' At the stage of exploring sources, they chose the sources based on salient similarities and chose the final source through circular processes, which included the process components of 'evaluating the sources' and 'discarding the sources.' At the final stage, they added the attributes to analogs and mapping them to the attributes of the target concept, which is named as 'mapping shared attributes.' There were some cases that 'mapping shared attributes' appeared after they specified the situation of analogs or assumed new situation, which is named as 'specifying the situations.' Some students recognized unshared attributes in their analogs.

The objective of this paper is to quantify economic values of parcel service attributes (safety, reliability, quickness, and kindness and customer service) using the contingent choice method and to investigate impact factors (such as sex, age, and education), which influence choice of desirable parcel services. As empirical results, the marginal willingness-to-pay for multiple attributes of parcel service is calculated as about 2,349.6 KRW for the safety attribute, about 829.3 KRW for the reliability attribute, about 588.5 KRW for the quickness attribute, and about 358.8 KRW for the kindness and customer service attribute, according to the estimation model without covariates. The overall results indicate that the safety attribute ranks highest among parcel service attributes, followed by the reliability attribute, quickness attribute, and kindness and customer service attribute. These results can be useful in the decision-making process for establishing desirable pricing policies for parcel service.
