The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the assessment of salty taste and high-salt dietary behaviors of Korean university students and their Chinese counterparts. The researchers developed a taste assessment computer program focusing on preference for salty taste, and it was applied to 300 university students, including 100 Korean students, and 100 Chinese students in Daegu of South Korea, and 100 Chinese students in Shenyang of China (144 males and 156 females). The results of the taste assessment of Chinese and Korean university students are as follows. Among males, Koreans (36.0%), Chinese students in Korea (36.2%), and Chinese (40.4%) scored highest in the "a bit salty" followed by "normal." Among females, Koreans (36.0%), Chinese students in Korea (49.1%), and Chinese (28.3%) scored highest in the "normal". In terms of salt concentration in solution, among the male subjects, most Koreans favored the salt concentration of 0.31%, which is considered to be a "normal" concentration; most Chinese students in Korea favored 0.63%, which is considered to be "a bit salty", and most Chinese favored the concentration of 1.25%, which is considered to be "salty". As for the female subjects, Koreans, Chinese students studying abroad, and Chinese favored 0.31%, the "normal" level of concentration. Korean students scored higher than Chinese students in Korea and Chinese students both in males and females (p < 0.001, p < 0.01), in terms of high-salt dietary behaviors favored salty taste.

본 연구는 국내 중국인 유학생이 한국 학생과의 관계에 대하여 갖는 인식과 경험을 알아봄으로써 교우관계에서 느끼는 어려움을 심층적으로 탐색하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 서울의 사립대학 학부 과정에 재학 중인 중국인 유학생 20명을 대상으로 질적 면접을 실시하였다. 연구결과 중국인 유학생의 한국 학생과의 교우 관계는 서로 단절되어 분리된 경향을 보였다. 중국인 유학생은 한국 학생들에 대하여 중국인 유학생을 냉담하고 목적 위주의 관계만을 선호한다고 인식하였다. 거꾸로 중국인 유학생들은 한국인과 한국학생들이 본인들을 부정적으로 바라본다고 인식하고, 그 이유는 양국 언론매체의 보도, 정치경제적 관계, 한국의 이문화 교육 등에 있다고 생각하였다. 본 연구는 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 국내 대학의 외국인 유학생의 유치가 수치상으로는 성공적이나 학생들 간 분리되어 있는 현상을 지적하고, 앞으로 외국인 유학생의 한국 학생과의 교우관계에 대한 지원을 통해 이들 학생들의 교육 및 사회문화적 경험의 질을 높이는 대학 국제화가 필요함을 강조하였다.
