The purpose of this study was to determine what factors influence various non-marriage types by considering reasons why adults are not married. The roles of individual characters and family values affecting each type of non-marriage were carefully considered. From the data of 'the Survey on the National Fertility, Family Health and Welfare in Korea in 2015', 1,053 unmarried adults who were in their late 20s to middle 40s were selected. Results show that non-marriage types among unmarried adults were diverse. Depending on sex, the distribution of non-marriage types differed. While economic reasons were predominant among men, lack of opportunities for marriage was the main reason for most women who were not married. Findings also suggest that factors such as socio-demographic characters and family values were differentially associated with each non-marriage type. These findings indicate a great deal of diversity in needs, lifestyle, and life satisfaction among unmarried young adults. This suggests that an increase in the population of unmarried adults can be related to prospectively various marriage behaviors and family patterns in our society in the future, and consequently life patterns will be different among the adult generation.

The purpose of this study was to understand the interrelationships among customers'perceived values, switching cost, and loyalty to a family restaurant. Based on 328 patrons obtained from empirical research, this study reviewed the reliability and fitness of a research model and verified three hypotheses using the Amos program. The hypothesized relationships were tested in the model simultaneously using a structural equation model (SEM). The proposed model provided an adequate fit to the data, $x^2$=341.01 (df=154), p<0.001, CMIN/df 2.21, GFI 0.91, NFI 0.94, IFI 0.97, TLI 0.96, CFI 0.97, RMSEA 0.06. The results showed that utilitarian values (${\beta}$=0.27) as customers' perceived values elements in a family restaurant, had a positive (+) influence upon switching cost. Switching cost had a significant positive (+) effect on the behavioral loyalty (${\beta}$=0.16) and attitudinal loyalty (${\beta}$=0.16). Hedonic values (${\beta}$= 0.41) and utilitarian values (${\beta}$=0.26) had a positive (+) influence on customer's behavioral loyalty. Additionally, a customers hedonic values (${\beta}$= 0.30) and utilitarian values (${\beta}$=0.32) had a significant positive (+) effect on attitudinal loyalty. Limitations and future research directions are also discussed.
