The goal of this study was to understand the reasons for learning about Korean herbal food by examining the actual conditions in a Korean herbal food course during lifestyle education. The general characteristics of the people learning about or working with the food as well as the correlations between the examined factors were analyzed, focusing on each person's dietary lifestyle. We divided the class participants into five dietary lifestyle groups by analyzing their scores. Group 1 was the"taste-seeking type", group 2 was the "quality-seeking type", group 3 was the"economy-seeking type", group 4 was the"convenience and economy-seeking type", and group 5 was the"convenience and health-seeking type". A person with a cooking career was considered to have more experience with Korean herbal food. The highest motivation for Korean herbal food education was for professional reasons, and the class that was most appreciated was learning about Korean traditional herbal foods. The highest satisfaction for the class was based on the instructor's knowledge, followed by food tastes, foodstuffs, educational materials, and the facilities superintendent. Satisfaction with the class tuition and practical utilization was relatively low.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the shopping motivations of consumers at South Korean convenience stores and create distinct consumer segments based on these motivations. Additionally, the research seeks to propose tailored marketing strategies for convenience stores by analyzing consumer demographics and satisfaction levels within each segment. Research design, data and methodology: Using factor analysis, we identify three primary shopping motivation factors: "social/leisure," "functional," and "convenience." Subsequently, we use cluster analysis to group convenience store consumers into three categories: the "convenience-seeking group," the "function/convenience-seeking group," and the "multipurpose-seeking group." To gain a deeper understanding of each consumer segment, we investigate how demographic factors relate to their levels of satisfaction. Results: These findings offer valuable insights for adapting to shifting consumer preferences and the increasingly competitive landscape of South Korean convenience stores, especially in the expanding services offered by online businesses. Conclusions: This research emphasizes the significance of developing marketing strategies tailored to address the distinctive needs and preferences of individual consumer segments. These strategies empower convenience stores to establish a competitive advantage in the market.

Objectives: This study investigated the utilization and satisfaction of lunchbox by considering the dietary lifestyle of the consumer, in order to refine the purchasing behavior of adults with experience in using lunchboxes, and to provide basic data for efficient menu configuration and direction towards improvement. Methods: A total of 600 adults in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do answered a self-administered questionnaire designed to investigate general characteristics, utilization, menu preference, satisfaction, prospection, and improvement of lunchbox, according to the dietary lifestyle. Results: The study subjects were classified into 5 groups: 'taste seeking group', 'safety seeking group', 'health seeking group', 'economic seeking group' and 'convenience seeking group. Considering purchase value of the lunchbox, the 'taste seeking group' had a high utilization rate (35.1%) for prices less than 4,000 won (P < 0.05). Lunchboxes were mainly purchased at the lunchbox store (43.3%) and convenience store (37.7%). The important factor that contributed to purchasing a lunchbox was taste (61.3%), which was highest in the 'taste seeking group' (P < 0.01). The 'health seeking group' showed the highest preference for the low-salt diet lunchbox menu (26.0%) (P < 0.05). The satisfaction of 'health seeking groups' was lowest when considering addition of condiments (2.34%), origin of ingredient (2.59%), and provided calorie (2.81%) (P < 0.05). The overall response indicated future use of the lunchbox (69.6%) (P < 0.01); 35.8% respondents recommended the purchase of lunchbox, where convenience of purchase was the highest factor contributing to recommendation (50.2%) (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Taken together, our results indicate that taste was emphasized in every group purchasing the lunch box. Convenience of purchase was the highest factor contributing to satisfaction, which was relatively low when considering addition of condiments, nutrition and origin of ingredients. We propose that it is necessary to improve the development of various menus for increasing satisfaction by selecting the right ingredients contributing to good health of the consumer.

본 연구는 편의점 도시락을 이용한 경험이 있는 성인 817명을 대상으로 식생활 라이프 스타일에 따른 편의점 도시락 이용현황과 만족도 차이를 분석하였고 편의점 도시락 시장에 효율적인 메뉴 구성과 개선 방향을 제안하는 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 식생활 라이프 스타일 유형을 군집분석한 결과는 미각추구 집단, 경제추구 집단, 편의추구 집단, 건강추구 집단 등의 4가지 집단으로 군집화되었다. 도시락 이용현황을 살펴보면 도시락 제품 구매가격은 3,500~4,000원이었고, 도시락은 주로 점심 식사용으로, 혼자 먹는 것으로 나타났다. 편의점 도시락에 대한 정보를 얻는 곳으로는 편의점 매장, 인터넷 SNS 순이었다(p<0.05). 도시락은 영양성분을 고려하여 구매하였고(p<0.001) 중요한 영양소는 단백질, 열량, 나트륨이라고 하였다. 도시락의 용기는 위생적이고 청결해야 하며 용기 표면에 제품에 대한 정보를 부착하는 것을 중요하게 생각하고 있었다(p<0.01). 4개의 군집 중 경제추구집단은 도시락의 맛(3.66점)과 양(3.60점)에서 가장 만족도가 높았고(p<0.001), 다음은 가격(3.49점), 열량(3.43점)순이었다(p<0.01). 건강추구 집단은 메뉴의 다양성(3.76점)에서 만족도가 높은 반면 편의추구 집단은 메뉴의 다양성(3.47점)에서 만족도가 낮게 나타났고(p<0.05), 모든 집단에서 도시락 구매의 편리성(p<0.001)과 제품브랜드의 신뢰성, 다양한 할인제공도 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 음식의 영양과 조미료의 첨가 여부는 상대적으로 낮은 만족도를 보였다. 도시락의 밥종류로는 백미밥을 선호하였고(p<0.001) 좋아하는 식재료는 육류인 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01). 모든 집단에서 밥과 찬으로 구성된 도시락을 좋아하였고 저염식과 고단백식을 지향하였으나 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 앞으로도 편의점 도시락은 계속 이용할 것이며(p<0.01), 주변인에게 구매의 편리함과, 저렴한 가격, 신선한 재료, 풍부한 영양 등으로 도시락 이용을 추천하겠다고 하였다. 본 연구의 조사결과 모든 집단에서 가장 중요한 요인은 맛으로 나타났으며, 편리성에서 가장 높은 만족도를 보였지만 음식의 영양과 조미료의 첨가 여부는 상대적으로 낮은 만족도를 나타냈다. 따라서 편의점 도시락 시장이 성장하기 위해서는 도시락의 품질개선과 다양한 메뉴 개발 등이 이루어져야 할 것으로 보인다.

In today's media environment, TV programmers and advertisers must strive ever harder to attract the attention of audiences. Yet what may be even more crucial is engaging audiences in conversations on social media and nourishing stronger relationships. To provide insights into how to improve audience experiences through social media television coviewing (STVC) behaviors, this study investigates audience motivations for using social networking sites (SNSs) while watching sports program (i.e., social media television coviewing-STVC) and examines relationships between identified motivations and key audience engagement outcomes. The results reveal four motivations for STVC behaviors: sports-related interaction seeking, information seeking, convenience seeking, and socializing. Further, results reveal that sports-related interaction seeking, information seeking, and socializing motivations are significant predictors of satisfaction, investment, and commitment to the program. Audience engagement outcomes are not predicted, however, by convenience seeking or by variables pertaining to SNS-use regarding STVC behaviors.

This study aims to investigate the effect of eating-out types on the acceptance intention of artificial seasoning when consumers eat out at restaurants. Eating-out types considered to be typical when customers visit restaurants, such as the food-exploratory type, health-oriented type, and convenience-seeking type, were studied. Based on the research of previous studies, three eating-out types were selected for the study, which were "food-exploratory", "convenience-seeking", "health-oriented". This study was conducted by AMOS 22.0 with 300 questionnaires, and the Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used for examining the hypotheses as statistical method in this study. As a result, eating-out types such as "food-exploratory" and "convenience-seeking" were found to significantly affect the acceptance intention of artificial seasoning. However, consumers' acceptance intention of artificial seasoning differed depending on their consumption value. The path coefficients from food-exploratory type and health-oriented type to acceptance intention were more significant in the hedonic-oriented group than the utilitarian-oriented group. The results of this study suggest eating-out types relate to acceptance intention of artificial seasoning and provide meaningful implications for consumers' psychological consumption value when they consider artificial seasoning.
