This study analyzes important factors of foodservice in school through comparison of students' satisfaction of using foodservice in Korea and US in order to meet students' expectations. The survey was composed of 4 categories including menu, service, hygiene, and facility and it was carried out in both countries to evaluate satisfaction. First, comparison of satisfaction between two countries was made using t-test. Secondly, multiple regression was performed to identify factors affecting satisfaction. As a result Korean students were more satisfied than American students in all aspects. However, regardless of nationality, the top three factors affecting the students' satisfaction were the same. The predictors were food taste (Korean 0.375 and American 0.350), menu variety (Korean 0.305 and American 0.278), and service line (Korean 0.226 and American 0.192). Despite the similarity of the predicators, it can be concluded that the difference in satisfaction level between the two nationscan be explained by the approaches to create comfortable and acceptable changes in schools' foodservice. Korea has been increasing the foodservice quality based on their objectives to provide students comfortable and positive environment when eating nutritious meals. However, US have made their main objectives on making changes to decrease youth obesity. Foodservice improvements according to continuous evaluations and surveys are necessary in order to increase students' satisfaction.

이 연구는 한국과 미국 대학생의 노인에 대한 지식 및 태도를 측정하고, 관련 변인들이 그 지식 및 태도 수준과 어떠한 관계가 있으며, 양국 간 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 비교하였다. 이를 위하여 한국과 미국의 10개 대학 학생 1129명(한국은 서울, 경기, 충청지역 소재 5개 대학 학생 840명, 미국은 뉴욕지역 소재 5개 대학 학생 289명)으로부터 수집된 설문조사 결과를 SPSS 15.0을 사용해 분석하였다. 조사도구는 노인에 대한 지식을 측정하기 위한 Palmore(1998)의 Fact on Aging Quiz Part 1(FAQ 1), 노인에 대한 태도를 측정하기 위한 Sanders 등(1984)의 의미분별척도(Semantic Differential Scale), 그리고 몇 가지 인구사회적 및 노인관련경험을 측정하기 위한 문항으로 구성하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 노인에 대한 지식수준을 비교한 결과 25점 만점에 한국대학생은 12.51점, 미국대학생은 11.57점으로 한국대학생의 노인에 대한 지식이 미국대학생에 비해 높게 나타났다. 한국과 미국대학생의 노인에 대한 지식의 문항별 차이를 보면 한국은 9개 문항에서 높은 정답률을 보여 준 반면 미국은 4개 문항에서만 높은 정답률을 보여주어 역시 한국학생의 노인에 대한 지식이 미국 학생에 비해 높음을 뒷받침했다. 둘째, 노인에 대한 태도의 차이를 비교한 결과 20점-140점 구간에서 한국대학생은 77.54점, 미국대학생은 70.07점으로 미국대학생의 노인에 대한 태도점수가 낮아 한국대학생에 비해 더 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 한국과 미국대학생의 노인에 대한 태도의 문항별 차이를 보면 한국대학생은 오직 한 문항에서 미국 학생들보다 긍정적으로 답변한 반면 미국대학생은 14문항에서 한국학생들에 비해 긍정적인 태도를 보여 역시 미국학생의 노인에 대한 태도가 한국학생에 비해 긍정적임을 뒷받침했다. 셋째, 한국과 미국 대학생 모두 노인에 대한 지식이 높을수록 노인에 대한 태도가 긍정적으로 나타났고, 특히 양국 학생 간 그 강도에 있어서 다소의 차이는 있지만 노인에 대한 심리적 지식과 가족/사회적 지식은 대학생의 노인에 대한 태도와 유의미한 관련이 있음을 확인하였다. 위의 결과를 바탕으로 향후 관련 정책과 실천 및 후속연구에의 함의를 제시하였다.
