The main object of this study was to understand the body image and body management behavior associated with desiring a thinner and more muscular body. The present study examined whether the drives for thinness and muscularity occur concurrently for both male and female college students, and whether there are gender differences. Moreover, the effects of objectified body consciousness on drive for thinness and drive for muscularity were investigated. A self-administered survey was conducted and a total of 390 data were used for data analysis. Participants included 197 male college students and 193 female students. Results indicated that male students reported significantly lower drive for thinness and higher drive for muscularity than female students. However, the drives for thinness and muscularity were significantly correlated for both male and female college students, and they reported discrepancies between their BMI and self-perceived weight and muscle mass. Findings supported the significant effects of objected body consciousness on the drives for thinness and muscularity for both male and females. Sub-dimensions of objectified body consciousness had differential effects on drive for thinness and muscularity. Specifically, body surveillance and body shame significantly influenced male and female students' drive for thinness, while their control belief did not have significant effects on their drive for thinness. Additionally, body shame emerged as significant unique predictor of drive for muscularity. In terms of gender comparisons, while the effect of body shame was the strongest for the males, the effect of surveillance was as strong as that of body shame for the females.

본 연구는 기존 연구들과 마찬가지로 사회학적 관심의 대상이 된 장마당세대가 많은 사회학적 범주들인 계급, 학생, 민족, 젠더 등을 넘어서 실제세대를 형성할 수 있는지에 대한 질문에서 출발하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 장마당세대의 정치의식, 교육의식, 사회의식, 준법의식, 교육의식을 기성세대와 비교하였다. 본 연구의 자료는 2016년 11월부터 12월 말까지 국내에 거주하는 북한이탈주민 가운데 5년 이내 북한이탈주민을 대상으로 하였다. 총 200부의 설문지가 자료 분석에 사용되었고, SPSS 20.0을 이용하여 빈도분석과 집단 간 차이분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 이상에서 장마당세대의 주요의식들을 기성세대와 비교하여 살펴본 결과 장마당세대의 정치의식, 사회의식, 준법의식, 교육의식은 기성세대에 비해 낮으며, 경제의식은 기성세대에 비해 높다는 결과를 도출하였다. 특히 장마당세대의 교육의식과 준법의식은 기성세대와는 확연한 차이를 나타내고 있다. 장마당세대는 객관적 세대위치로서 청소년기에 '고난의 행군'과 '공교육의 붕괴'를 경험하였다. 기성세대와 다른 장마당세대의 세대위치는 기성세대와는 다른 세대의식을 형성하는데 영향을 미쳤다. '공교육을 제대로 받은' 기성세대에 비해 '공교육을 제대로 받지 못한' 장마당세대는 전반적으로 기성세대에 비해 의식수준이 낮게 나타나는 특성을 가진다. 이렇듯 장마당세대는 기성세대와 다른 세대의식을 갖는 집단으로 하나의 세대로 구성될 가능성을 가진다.

This study compares and contrasts the consumer decision-making styles (CDMS) of South Korean and American Generation Y females. A total of 117 American female and 206 Korean female consumers completed self-report survey questionnaires to assess their consumer decision making styles. Exploratory principal components factor analysis using varimax rotation was used to categorize the items into an underlying set of American and Korean decision-making characteristics. Two-tailed independent t-tests were conducted to examine the differences between the two groups when items appeared to have common factors. Factor analysis identified five common factors between the two samples (i.e., enjoyment, shopping aversion, price consciousness, brand consciousness, and quality consciousness). The t-test results report significant differences in the items reported in each factor between American and Korean females. Some of the factors are more indicative of American female Generation Y consumers than Korean female Generation Y consumers. For example, the American female sample seemed to enjoy shopping and prefer brand names more than the female Korean sample. Koreans females seem to have a higher aversion to shopping than Americans; in addition, Koreans females seem to be more accepting of discount and outlet stores, will wait until the price is low before buying a product, and prefer sales when shopping. Based on the findings, the instrument identified varying CDMS between the two samples used. Previous studies using the Sproles and Kendall (1986) instrument experienced the same issue (Bakewell & Mitchell, 2004, 2006; Bauer et al., 2006; Durvasula et al., 1996; Fan & Xiao, 1998; Hanzaee & Aghasibeig, 2008; Mitchell & Walsh, 2004; Siu et al., 2001; Walsh et al., 2001). The results support the idea that no single instrument can be used to examine CDMS in different cultures. This suggests that each country has a CDMS with internal characteristics. Limitations and research for future studies are also discusse.

The purpose of this study is to gain an in-depth understand of the dwelling needs of residents who are interested in Cohousing. To do this, we interviewed 18 urban residents who wanted a community life; investigated consciousness of neighbor relationships; and analyzed their consciousness of Cohousing residences, preference types, and spatial needs. At first the research has revealed that the neighbor relationships of the participants were not very close and that there was a difference in awareness levels between a 'good neighbor' and 'strange neighbor' with regard to neighbors, though all of the participants required a vitalization of these relationships. Second, Cohousing residence types could be divided into the 'life preferred type' and 'space preferred type', depending on the differences of pursued dwelling interests. These could be further segmented into the 'leisure life preferred type' and 'daily life preferred type', 'public space preferred type' and 'individual space preferred type'. Thirdly, preferences for Cohousing types varied depending on differences in priority with regard to important concepts of the social-physical environment (e.g., community property, effectiveness, naturalness, economic feasibility, and individuality). Finally, we found that the greatest needs were for public gardens and exercise space as aspects of the common spaces. Agreements pertaining to special use were considered as most important during the design process of the common spaces.
