A Web-based environment has very various and heterogeneous users. The emphasis on their individual characteristics may make it hard to reach the general understanding of how they seek and use information on the Web. The purpose of this study is to find common patterns in information seeking behavior on the Web by analyzing a series of cognitive movement of users in interaction with the Web. Based on Dervin's concept and Timeline interview methodology, this study collected 37 Web experience descriptions from 21 respondents, which consisted of 302 steps. Findings addressed that Web information seeking behavior can be classified into seven types : Starting, Searching, Viewing/B row sing , Examining/comparing, Finding/compiling, Deciding/Acting, and Ending. Movement paths in the seven-type information seeking process showed that user's interaction with the Web was repeated and circulated at the Viewing/Browsing step and that information seeking behavior on the Web was multi-directional and non-linear.

The Fintech services provide innovation to financial services users using various mobile devices and computers in wired and wireless communication environments. In this study, we develope a theoretical research framework to explain the psychology of Fintech services users based on a cognitive, affective, and conative framework. Using this framework, this study analyzes the relationships between the cognitive characteristics (i.e., innovation, relative advantage, ease of use, and usefulness), emotional characteristic (i.e., attitude), and behavioral characteristic (i.e., actual use) toward Fintech services users. This study conducted an online survey of people who have experienced using Fintech services. And the data of the collected Fintech services users was analyzed using structural equation model software (i.e., SMART PLS 2.0 M3). The results of the empirical analysis show the relationships between innovation, relative advantage, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, and actual use of Fintech service users. The results of this study provide useful information to improve the practical use of Fintech services users in the Internet of Things (IoT) environment.

This study focused on causes of use reluctant intention because closed SNS was more active than open SNS was despite tremendous growth of SNS to have negative influence upon not only SNS contents suppliers but also marketing business using SNS. The survey were conducted a total of 205 participants with adult over colleague student, 197 copies that excluded questionnaire with unfaithful answer were used in the analysis, and we used path analysis of structural equation modeling. The results of modified path model showed that interactivity was influenced by value, and then affecting "trust ${\rightarrow}$ satisfaction ${\rightarrow}$ using reluctant intention" path and "satisfaction ${\rightarrow}$ using reluctant intention" path. These result reflected that interactivity have a double-edged sword and value is very important standard to make a positive of negative role of interactivity. These results suggested that interactivity was found to have influence upon not only behavioral willingness that took actions depending upon either improvisation or situation but also behavioral intention path that thought and took actions in reasonable way. The interactivity had double-edged sword to help develop SNS and to produce negative results.

This study aims to explore information seeking behavior of natural scientists when they are writing a research proposal for applying to funding. It focuses on understanding their information needs and information seeking behavior, and factors influencing the behavior. Based on the conceptual framework of task-based information seeking, qualitative research methods including in-depth interviews and diary study are used. The results reveal that a variety of communicative subtasks take place in the process of research proposal writing. Also, the scientists tend to need information related funding opportunities and to research design, and access sources including human resources, documents, online databases and websites to meet their information needs. Finally, the study shows that the scientists' information seeking behavior when writing a proposal is influenced by personal, task-related, and sociocultural factors. This study will be helpful to design effective information services and strategies to assist science scholars applying to research funding.

The research purpose for The Impact of Aviation Safety over the Consumer's Behavior in Korea lies at the judgement that airline consumers' selection criteria has much changed after several serious aviation accidents as before when we used to overlook "aviation safety" variable through surveying to Korean aviation consumers and foreigners visit or travel Korea on various purposes. Therefore, for this research, practical analysis methods are employed after surveying to actual passengers who use Kimpo International Airport's international and domestic terminals. This study will be regarded significant in terms that empirical analysis was used to prove "Aviation Safety", a variable which had not been regarded as a airline choice factor within Korea air transport market so far, and has an effect on the aviation consumers' airline preference change and choice after recent frequent aviation accidents. Presenting this dissertation, I wish. it can be another opportunity for Korean two national flag airlines to reappraise and reinforce the significance of "aviation safety" and set forth immediate vigorous efforts to support the government's aviation safety improvement countermeasures. I hope the study to contribute and provide a variable idea and direction to improve aviation safety management of two Korean flag carriers.

웹을 기반으로 하는 e-러닝에 대한 교육적 수요는 증가하고 있다. 이와 동시에, 학습 공간으로서의 사이버 공간의 활용에 대한 고민도 증가하였다. 전통적인 학습활동을 사이버 공간에 복제하려 했던 고전적 방식이 e-러닝 또는 사이버 학습이 아니라는 사실을 확인하기 시작했기 때문이다. e-러닝의 가치가 강조됨에도 불구하고, 실제 사이버 공간에서 일어나는 학습자의 특성과 학습활동이 구체적으로 어떻게 일어나는 지에 대한 탐색은 미흡하다. 산재한 정보를 스스로 가공한 지식, '학습하는 방법을 학습'하는 것이라는 개념들이 제시됨에도 불구하고, 사이버 공간에 산재한 정보, 학습하는 방법의 학습, 그리고 사이버 공간의 학습특성에 대한 논란은 여전하다. 본 연구에서는 실제 사이버 학습 사이트를 이용하고 있는 학습자들의 행동을 중심으로, 학습자의 특성을 탐색하였다. 사이버 공간에서 보이는 스스로 학습하는 방법이 무엇인지 확인하고 이것이 다양한 학습자 유형으로 구분되는 지를 확인하고자 하였다. 연구대상이 된 사이버 학습 사이트는 서울, 부산, 대구, 광주 교육청에서 운영하는 사이버 가정 학습관이었다. 총 1535명의 사이버 가정 학습관 이용자들의 특성이 분석되었다. 사이버 가정학습관 이용자들의 행동특성은 9개의 요인-놀이 활동, 공동 경험, 현실 정체, 공동 성취, 개인주의, 경쟁 지향, 성취감, 편리성(조작 용이), 생생함-으로 구분되었다. 9개의 활동 요인을 기준으로 하여 확인된 학습자 유형은 4가지로 나타났다. 4가지 학습자 유형은 각각 독야청청형, 동고동락형, 의무방어형, 희희낙낙형으로 명명되었다. 이들 유형은 학습 활동 정도 및 사이트 이용 행동, 학습 스타일(사이버 학습 활동 양식)에서 서로 차이가 있었다. 본 연구는 기존의 이론적인 모델에 기초하여 임의적으로 구분된 사이버 학습자 유형 구분이 아닌, 실제 학습 활동을 탐색하였다는 측면에서 의미가 있다. 특히, 기존의 오프라인 학습 이론 및 학습자 특성 연구를 사이버 학습에 그대로 적용할 것이 아니라 사이버 공간의 특성이 실제 학습 활동에서 어떻게 나타났는지를 밝히려고 했다는데 그 의의가 있다. 향후, 사이버 학습자 유형에 따른, 사이버 학습활동의 촉진방안이나 학습 효과의 차이를 높일 수 있는 구체적인 학습 시스템의 설계 및 운영 모델에 대한 탐색이 필요할 것이다.

The emergence of social media and technical development of smart phone allows media users to produce, share and spread a variety of contents, which results in a big change in their media usage pattern. Among those changes, the most prominent one is Youtube's powerful growth. Creators' enthusiastic content productions and users' active sharing actions are caused of the growth. Recently, creators give a powerful effect on users as social media influencer, and the practice of influencer marketing has been focused. This current study is examined the effects of parasocial interaction and relationship on brand attitude and purchase intention. Specially, parasical interaction is divided into identification, interest, and experience parasocial interaction, and the divisions of relationship are trustworthy, friendship, understanding, and commitment. As a result, interest and trustworthy are significant predictors of brand attitude. Also, experience parasocial interaction is negative and friendship is positive predictors of purchase intention. Theoretical and practical implication are discussed.
