In this study, we analyzed the dietary style of Chinese singles; in addition, the effect of convenience food consumption on the quality of life of singles was evaluated through construct model development on the relationship between the frequency of consumption and satisfaction with convenience food and quality of life. A statistical analysis of 153 surveys from Tianj was conducted using SPSS 12.0 for Windows and SEM using AMOS 5.0 statistics package. The reliability of the data was confirmed by an exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The measurement model was confirmed as appropriate by a confirmatory factor analysis of the measurement model in conjunction with AMOS. The results of a factor analysis were as follows. Dietary style was categorized into four factors. The level of satisfaction with convenience food was categorized into seven factors and quality of life was categorized into four factors. The reliability of these findings was supported by a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.6 and higher for all the factors. For the level of satisfaction with convenience food based on dietary style and the quality of life of singles, a structural equation model was constructed and analyzed. The results of all tests indicated that the model satisfied the recommended level of goodness of fit index and thus, the overall research model was appropriate. The current study highlights the increased interest in eating habits of singles and is necessary for further improvement in nutrition education.

본 연구는 새터민들의 편의식품에 대한 선호도와 이용현황을 파악하여 올바른 편의식품을 선택할 수 있게 하고자 실시하였다. 새터민 211명에게 설문지를 조사하여 SPSS를 이용해서 분석했다. 반 이상의 새터민들이 편의식품을 좋아하고, 즐겨먹는 것으로 조사되었다. 반 정도의 새터민들이 편의식품에 대해 경우에 따라 좋다고 생각하고 있었고, 새터민들은 편의식품을 간식으로 즐겨 먹었다. 새터민들은 영양보다는 편리성과 맛 때문에 편의식품을 선택하고 있다. 새터민들은 거주기간이 짧을수록 패스트푸드의 맛, 편리성, 영양, 가격때문에 패스트푸드를 선택하는 경향을 보였다. 새터민들에게 편의식품에 대해 이해시키고, 올바른 편의식품 사용방법에 대해 기초적인 식생활교육을 실시하는 것이 바람직하다고 생각되었다.

Purpose - Understanding how service convenience drives shopping performance is imperative for retailers such as department and large discount stores. Retailers have to enhance shopping productivity by reducing the costs of shopping, as convenience triggers customers' perceived shopping value, leading to customer satisfaction, and ultimately patronage behavior. Consumers, generally considering time as a scarce resource, are more sensitive to the time costs of tasks in regard to shopping trip, differently from forming perceptions of convenience in time orientation. Therefore, this study attempts to examine the moderating effects of consumers' time orientation on the relationships among service convenience of retailers and shopping performances such as shopping value and service performances. Research design, data, and methodology - The department and discount store chains were chosen as the point of analysis in this study. Data were collected from a survey of real-life consumers and all respondents were screened to ensure only those who had visited in the department and discount store chains within past six month prior to the day of data collection. Out of 600 self-reported surveys that were distributed, a total of 530 responses were returned and after excluding 20 incomplete responses, the final sample size was 510. The three hypotheses were proposed and tested in this study. The one hypothesis was on the moderating effects of time orientation for the effects of service convenience on shopping value (hedonic and utilitarian shopping value). The other two hypotheses were on the comparisons between high and low time-oriented customers with the effects in shopping value from service performance. Hierarchical moderated regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. Results - The results suggest that the effect of service convenience on utilitarian shopping value and the positive effect of utilitarian shopping value on customer satisfaction are greater in low time orientation than high time orientation customers. Conversely, when customers are highly oriented toward time, the effects of hedonic shopping value on customer satisfaction and revisit intention are greater than for customers who are lowly oriented toward time. Conclusions - This study has two-fold significance. First, this study contributes to the consumer behavior and services marketing literature by incorporating customers' time orientation into the service convenience-shopping performance. Although the effect of service convenience on shopping performance might differ from customers' perceptions concerning shopping, there has been little investigation or comparison between customers' perception on time. This study is a first attempt to consider how the effects of service convenience on shopping value and service performance vary with differing levels of customers' time orientation. This study advances prior studies by showing that the service convenience-shopping value and service convenience-service performance relationships vary across different combinations of the customer's time orientation. The findings of this study suggest that the retailers need to enhance the experiential aspects of the stores for their high time-oriented customers. Conversely, for the low time-oriented customers, the retailers should boost the visual distinctiveness and ease of store navigation.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Due to recent changes in social structure, single-person households are on the rise worldwide and therefore the interest in the quality of life of singles is increasing, but the research on the relationships related to their diet-related quality of life is scarce. This research analyzes the structural relations in the effect of convenience food satisfaction and quality of life according to dietary style of Korean, Japanese and Chinese singles. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The targets of this study were Korean, Japanese, and Chinese singles, identified as adults between the ages of 25 and 54, having economic capabilities or working and living alone, either legally or in actuality having no partner. A statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS12.0 for Windows and SEM using AMOS 5.0 statistics package. The reliability of these findings was supported by a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.6 and higher for all the factors. In an attempt to study the level of satisfaction with convenience food in accordance to dietary style and the quality of life of singles, a structural equation model was constructed and analyzed. RESULTS: Of the three countries, regarding the effect of dietary style on singles' quality of life, the convenience-oriented style was found to have a negative effect on Korean singles' overall quality of life, but a positive effect on Japanese singles' overall quality of life, and a negative effect on Chinese singles' positive psychological aspect of quality of life. In addition, although Chinese singles have a high level of interest in health, they have an overall high level of satisfaction regarding fast food and its nutritional value. CONCLUSIONS: The number of singles in Korea, Japan, and China has been consistently increasing in recent years, and there is a need for continuous interest in their healthy dietary lifestyles in terms of convenience, economy, and taste.

선진사회의 지표는 모든 사회 구성원들의 보편적 삶의 질의 수준과 그 만족도라 할 수 있다. 이러한 보편적 삶의 질은 사회적 약자들의 측면에서는 도시공간으로의 접근성과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 시각장애인과 같은 교통약자들은 도시공간에서의 관심 시설물에의 접근과 이동권의 확보가 매우 중요한 관심사이다. 특히 여객시설과 같은 시설물간의 매개역할을 수행하는 환승시설과 그 내부의 장애인 편의시설은 매우 중요한 의미를 지니고 있다. 장애인 편의시설은 각 시설물에 접근할 수 있는 유일한 방법으로 시각장애인에게 제공되므로, 이에 대한 공간적 분포를 분석하여 제공하는 것은 매우 중요한 의미를 지닌다. 그러나 기존의 관련연구들은 이용자의 의식조사나 관련 통계 분석에 머물러 있는 상황이다. 그러므로 이 연구에서는 공간(Spatial) 데이터를 기반으로 공간분석이 가능한 GIS를 이용하여 시각장애인의 여객시설의 내부편의시설 이용증진과 이동권 확보를 위한 무장애 공간을 분석하고자 하였다. 연구결과 일부 장애공간이 존재하여 신속한 보완이 필요하였으며, 다양한 내부편의시설의 이용증진을 위해서는 점자블록과 같은 장애인 편의시설의 확충이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 최근 편의점 PB식품이 대표적인 효자상품으로 자리잡음에 따라 소비자들의 편의점 PB식품군에 대한 구매행동과 만족도를 살펴보고 구매행동 및 만족도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 편의점 PB식품을 구매하는 이유로 기존 제품 대비 가격이 저렴하다는 이유가 높은 것(46.7%)으로 나타났다. 둘째, 편의점 이용빈도와 PB식품 구매빈도에 소비자 특성이 미치는 영향을 다중회귀로 분석한 결과 편의점 이용빈도에 연령이 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 PB식품 구매빈도에는 성별과 연령이 모두 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 편의점 이용빈도는 PB식품 구매빈도에 유의한 영향을 미치며 PB식품군 6개 군(과자/스낵, 음료, 유제품, 간편식, 라면/면류, 빵/튀김/핫바) 모두에서 선호하는 편의점 브랜드와 PB식품의 선호브랜드간 상관분석결과 Cramer V계수가 0.2~0.4로 모두 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 소비자들은 PB식품의 만족도를 속성별로 평가한 결과 보통 이상의 만족도를 보였으며 식품군 다양성과 제품군 맛 다양성 측면의 만족도가 3.57로 가장 높았고 가격에 대한 만족도가 가장 낮았다(3.49). 마지막으로 전반적 만족도에 영향을 미치는 속성별 만족도를 다중회귀로 분석한 결과 맛, 디자인/포장 속성의 만족도가 전반적 만족도에 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과를 토대로 다음과 같은 제언을 제시한다. 첫째, 선호하는 편의점 브랜드와 PB식품의 선호브랜드가 일치할 가능성이 크기 때문에 PB식품에 대한 적극적인 광고를 한다면 역으로 편의점을 선호브랜드로 자리매김할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 둘째, 연령이 높아질수록 편의점 이용빈도와 PB식품 구매빈도는 낮아졌기 때문에 PB식품은 가격과 품질 모두 신뢰할 수 있도록 제품 개선 및 이미지 개선이 필요하다. 셋째, PB식품의 전반적 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요소인 맛 또는 디자인/포장의 경쟁력을 향상시킬 필요가 있다.
