The purpose of this study were, (1) to analyze the effect of the selected variables on urban housewives' family resource management attitude and behavior, and (2) to identify the casual effects of variables on family resource management behavior. A sample of 641 was selected from housewives living in urban area. For data analysis, one-way ANOVA, DMR test, t-test, multiple regression, and path analysis were used. The major findings were as follows: 1. The housewives' family resource management behavior level was lower than their attitude level. 2. The family resource management attitude and behavior among the respondents were affected by the following independent variables : interest with environmental reports and newspapers, perception of time constraints, perception of economic reward. 3. The family resource management attitude had the greatest causal effect on the family resource management behavior.

This study investigated the relationship between style of purchase behavior and search information, attitude, and behavior for energy saving. In addition, this paper classified several consumer groups based on their different styles of purchase behavior and investigated whether those groups differ in attitude and behavior for energy saving. The following is a summary of the main results. First, consumers were classified according to style of purchase behavior into a rational consumer group, a fashion- or brand-oriented group, a group uninterested in consumption, and a neutrally oriented group. Second, there were no significant differences among the four consumer groups in the amount of information search and the level of communication with other consumers related to energy-saving information; however, there were significant differences in terms of the information sources used. For example, the neutrally oriented group was more likely to use more objective information sources. Third, the level of attitude toward energy saving was more likely to be active when consumers were old and rational. Consumers with a high income, education and experience in energy saving, and an active attitude were more likely to be active in energy saving, especially in the disposal stage of purchase. Finally, attitude toward energy saving was the most influential factor in the level of energy-saving behavior.

The purpose of this study is to examine the level and major influencing factors of pro-environmental consumer consciousness and resource-saving behavior of adolescents. The research was conducted in 2007 using a written questionnaire completed by 545 male and female high-school students who reside in Seoul and Kyunggi Province. The data was analyzed using statistical methods such as frequencies, percent, means, standard deviations, Crobach's ${\alpha}$ coefficient, one-way ANOVA and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS statistics program. Major findings were as follows. The higher level background parameters for pro-environmental consumption consciousness were students who were: male in higher grades; given a higher allowance of pocket money. Likewise, a higher degree of mutual communication within their family, mass communications' contact and environmental information also showed a higher level of pro-environmental consumer consciousness.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between Korean housewives’attitudes and behaviors for diligence, frugality and economy. The data used in this study included 273 housewives living in Seoul. Statistical method used for data analysis were frequencies, percentile, means, standard deviations, factor analysis, and Pearson’s correlations. The research results can be summerized as follows. The findings of the analysis showed that three variables of attitudes and behaviors are still highly maintained. All of attitude variables have significant correlations with those of behaviors. Economy seems to be the most significant variable among those of three variables.

본 연구는 시간자원의 중요성이 증가하는 현대사회에서 주부가 지각하는 시간압박 감이 점차 높아질것으로 예상되는 가운데 시간압박감이 소비자행동에 어떻게 작용하고 그로 인한 문제점은 무엇인지 밝혀보려는 의도에서 수행되었다. 서울시에 거주하는 주부 546명을 대상으로 시간압박지각정도를 측정하고 이를 바탕으로 소비자집단을 분류된 소비자 집단 사이에 인구.사회 경제적특성과 시간 절약형 내구제의 구매의사결정 과정의 차이가 있는지 분석하였다. 그 결과 시간 압박지각 정도에 따라 고.중.저의 세집단으로 구분되었는데 중간집단에 가장 많은 응답자가 포함되었고 높게 지각하는 집단에 가장 적은 응답자가 포함되었다. 그러나 기존의 연구와는 달리 취업주부의 18.7%가 시간압박을 낮게 지각하는 집단에, 그리고 전업주부의 6.8%가 시간압박을 높게 지각하는 집단에 분류되어 취업주부가 시간압박을 높게 지각하는 전형적인 소비자집단이 아닐수 있음을 발견하였다. 집단별 인구.사회경제적 특성과 시간절약형내구재의 구매의사결정과정의 차이도 부분적으로 밝혀졌으나, 예상과 달리 시간압박감을 높게 지각하는 집단의 시간절약형내구재의 소유와 사용이 오히려 낮게 나타났다.

The objectives of this study were to examine how the consciousness of resource saving affects the resource-saving behaviors of urban employed wives and to induce their rational resource-saving behaviors by identifying related variables. This study also analyzed some correlations between the resource-saving consciousness and behaviors of urban employed wives to provide basic information for laying the foundations of a green growth culture. The subjects of this study were selected from among employed wives living in the urban areas of Seoul and Gyeonggi-do area. The study was conducted from June 11 to August 7, 2011. A total of 620 questionnaires were collected, and 592 of them were used in the analysis. Data was analyzed via the SPSS 18.0 program to calculate frequencies, mean and standard variation, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, hierarchical, and multiple regression analysis. A positive correlation was observed between the resource-saving consciousness and behaviors of urban employed wives. That is, their resource-saving behavior was higher their consciousness of resource saving was high. Furthermore, the most influential variables affecting the resource-saving behaviors of urban employed wives were: the subjects' job type, with specialist or office work; reference groups, such as family, relatives, and neighbors; and low levels of conspicuous consumption habits. Among the variables, the influence of reference groups had the highest explanatory power.
