This study includes definitions and major issues relating to product safety, and reviews about product safety laws of Korea and of other countries. In addition, this study suggests several ideas for a future governmental policy concerning product safety and the government policies to guide in securing consumers' safety of products. First, we need to set up consumer safety policies and laws dealing with complex consumer safety issues and to integrate existing laws for the safety of products. Second, opening a consumer safety agency and training workers who have relation to the safety policy, as a profession, are necessary. Third, it is required to redefine the product safety guidelines, strengthen the safety policy and to minimize safety regulations by the government directly. Fourth, each product of the safety management policies must be regularly evaluated and given feedback for improving its effectiveness. Fifth, information gathering, disclosing, and having a feedback system related to product safety should be rebuilt for the effective management of unsafe products. In addition, laws and the aims of product safety management being changed to focus on the consumers, control on imported products, collaboration with network and mutual-assistance systems of product safety-related agencies including international organizations and major countries and taking leading roles in the world are essential.

In our society, consumers and enterprises work in cooperation for the continuous development and growth of society as well as construct effective and ethical measures. One of the representative examples are customercentered management activities in corporations, social responsibility activities, and sustainable ethical consumption that show consideration for the consumer's environment. The ethical consumption behavior of consumers becomes a virtuous circle that influences other consumer's ethical decision making by creating an ethical consumption culture. Furthermore, the cost and effort to solve non-ethical consumption problems can be solved. This research aims at aspiring the perception of consumer's ethical consumption and finding measures to increase ethical behavior. This paper further investigated the consumer's ethical consumption behavior, personality traits, perception of consumption society, and ethical judgements. For the research, a structured survey was conducted on 300 university students in Seoul. SPSS ver. 21.0 and AMOS ver. 18.0 programs were used for statistical data analysis. The results indicated differences in variables that influence consumer's ethical consumption behavior (fair trade, boycotts, and environmentally friendly products). In particular, it was evident that ethical judgements (such as the agent, personality traits, and perception consumption society) have different direct and non-direct influences on ethical consumption behavior. Strengthening the management of factors that influence measures that increase university student's ethical consumption behavior in direct and non-direct ways, providing education and improving information are believed effective in increasing ethical consumption behavior.

본 연구에서는 대중문화를 학문적 관점에서 개관해 보고 이를 바탕으로 대중문화에 대한 심리학적 접근을 탐색해 보았다. 지금까지 이루어진 대중문화 연구를 연구대상에 따라 살펴 보았으며, 산업과 소비자학, 교육 및 발달심리학의 관점에서도 분석해 보았다. 이와 더불어 대중문화를 바라보는 각각의 관점에 따라 어떻게 연구의 경향과 한계점이 나타나는지도 논의해 보았다. 본 연구는 이러한 분석을 바탕으로 대중문화 연구에 대한 전반적인 심리학적 관심의 촉구, 대중문화에 대한 정서적 체험의 분석과 측정의 필요성, 기획 문화적 관점에서 산업 및 소비자학적 접근의 역할 증대, 청소년 문화를 긍정적으로 수용하는 발달심리학적 시각의 변화, 대중문화 관련 학제 간 연구 등을 제안하고 있다. 이미 대중문화는 우리 실생활에 밀접하게 침투되어 있으나 이를 해석하고 분석하는 일은 심리학적 관점에서 보면 매우 미미하였다. 본 연구는 우리 생활에 함께하는 대중문화에 대한 관심과 그 실체를 인정하는 입장에서 대중문화 논의를 시도하였다는데 의미가 있으며, 본 연구를 통하여 심리학의 관심 영역이 확대되고 대중문화에 대한 접근 방법이 다양화되었으면 한다.
