본 연구에서는 전국에 거주하는 20세 이상 남녀 총 2,000 명을 조사대상으로 한 한국소비자원 (2007)의 "국민소비행태 및 의식구조 조사"자료를 가지고 소비자의 안전추구행동을 조사분석하였다. 구체적으로, 소비자안전의식과 가정생활양식 변수가 소비자 안전추구행동에 미치는 요인을 조사하였다. 본 연구의 분석결과를 정리 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 소비자들은 자동차를 제외하고 농산물 구매에서 안전성보다는 가격, 신선도 등 다른 요인을 중요한 기준으로 고려하고 있어 안전추구행동이 낮은 수준이라고 하겠다. 둘째, 소비자 안전의식은 여성, 젊은 소비자, 가족 수가 3인 인 경우, 농산물 수입개방에 대해 중간적 입장을 취한 소비자의 경우, 미래지향적인 소비자들에게서 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 대체로 농산물 구매에 있어서 소비자가 환경지향적이고 농산물 수입개방에 대해 부정적인 소비자 일 수록 안전추구행동 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 자동차의 경우 남성, 미혼자, 연령이 낮은 경우, 가족 수가 적은 경우 안전성을 중요한 구매기준으로 고려하고 있었다. 대체로 여성, 미혼, 나이가 많은 경우, 가족수가 적은 경우, 환경의식이 높은 경우 술의 소비가 적었으며, 여성, 고졸이하, 나이가 적은 경우, 가족 건강 여가 지향적인 경우 담배를 전혀 소비하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 여성, 대졸, 고소득, 가족 건강지향적, 부정적 농산물수입개방 태도의 경우 수입농산물 구매에서 안전성을 제일 중요한 기준으로 삼고 있었다. 끝으로, 여성, 고졸 소비자, 여가 현재 지향적, 환경의식이 높은 소비자의 경우 안전추구행동 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 소비자의 안전의식은 안전추구 행동에 직접적 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
