There was a significant difference in the basis for selecting menus among the groups. The most important basis for selecting menus was 'price' in the elementary group and the high school group, but was 'preference' in the adult groups. As their age increased, they spend more money for fast food. Forty six percent of the elementary group and 49.5% of the high school group, 32.1% of the 30's, 36.5% of the 40's, 34.7% of the 50's thought that fast food can substitute for a meal. The age affected significantly the substitutability for the meal of the fast food (p < 0.001). In the high school group, the ratio of skipping breakfast is higher than in the other age groups. Dietary attitude has direct effects on the preference of the fast foods. Nutrition knowledge, degree of unbalanced diet and obesity rate have direct and indirect effects which were mediated by dietary attitude. Nutrition knowledge showed the greatest total causal effect in relation to the preference of the fast foods. Therefore, nutrition education for the subjects is needed to encourage them to choose more nutritious food and have healthier dietary pattern.

This study was conducted to identify the relationship among various service quality clues, brand trust, brand distinctiveness and revisit intention focusing on fast-food restaurant consumers. Using online questionnaires tool in South Korea, a total of 450 questionnaires were distributed and 390 participants were used for further statistical analysis through SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 for Windows. Four service quality factors (menu, interior, exterior, staff) were extracted from twelve questions. According to the result of this study, several service quality factors of fast-food restaurants' have positive effects on brand trust and distinctiveness. Specifically, staff and menu and exterior were significant predictors of brand trust, and staff and menu of fast-food were critical antecedents of brand distinctiveness. In addition, the brand trust has positive influence on brand distinctiveness as well as revisit intention. Although there are many studies which proved the relationships among various selection attributes and other outcome variables such as brand loyalty or image, little research explained the relationships among service quality factors of fast-food restaurants, brand trust, brand distinctiveness, and revisit intention.

부산지역 대학생 340명을 대상으로 패스트푸드점 이용실태를 조사한 결과 다음과 같다. 1. 조사 대상자는 남학생 56.2%, 여학생이 43.8%이었고, 20-24세가 66.8%를 차지하였고, 자기집에 거주하는 학생이 73.6%이었으며. 평균용돈은 16-20만원이 31.8%로 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였다. 2. 대상자 중 패스트푸드점을 이용하는 대학생이 83.3%로 남학생이 77.6%, 여학생이 90.3%, 19세이하가 88.1%를 차지하였으며, 자기집에 거주하는 학생이 87.7%, 월평균용돈의 액수에 상관없이 높은 비율의 학생이 이용하고 있었다. 3. 패스트푸드점을 이용하는 시간대는 아무 때나가 44.7%로 가장 많았으며, 저녁시간, 점심시간 순으로 남학생은 아무 때나, 저녁시간대가 많았고, 여학생은 모든 시간대에 비슷한 비율로 높았다. 또한 자기집에 거주하는 학생이 아무 때나, 저녁시간대 이용하는 비율이 높았다. 4. 1회 이용시 평균비용은 삼천원대가 가장 많았는데 남학생은 삼천원이상 비용대의 비율이 높았고 여학생은 삼천원 비용대에서 두드러지게 그 비율이 높았다. 또 연령이 높을수록 비용이 많이 들었고, 자취와 하숙생이 삼천원 이상의 비용을 이용하는 비율이 높았으며, 평균용돈이 많을수록 삼천원 이상의 비용대의 비율이 상대적으로 높았다. 5. 패스트푸드점 이용시 메뉴선택은 기호에 따라 선택하는 비율이 64.5%로 가장 높았고, 남학생에 비해 여학생이 기호에 따라 선택한다는 비율이 80.1%로 높았다. 6. 대학생들이 이용하는 패스트푸드점은 맥도널드이었으며 특히 남학생보다 여학생이 상대적으로 월등히 높게 나타났다. 연령이 낮을수록 맥도널드, 롯데리아 등을 많이 이용하였고, 나이가 많을수록 다른 패스트푸드점도 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와같은 결과로 볼때 대학생들의 패스트푸드점 이용은 점점 증가하고 있고, 소비하는 비용도 많아져 가고 있어 젊은이들의 식습관에 문제가 되리라 사료된다. 그러므로 패스트푸드의 영양성을 고려한 메뉴개발 등의 노력이 필요하며 미래의 주역이 될 대학생들의 식습관에 대한 보다 심도있는 연구가 함께 병행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

The objectives of the study were to provide the basis for nutrition education for consumers so that they could select nutritious and balanced fast foods and to promote menu items for fast foods franchisers by addressing nutrition and health. Nine franchisers (3 hamburger, 3 noodles and 3 chicken) were surveyed in terms of their nutritional concern for product development, and 360 consumers were interviewed at 36 fast food chains to assess their perceptions of nutrient adequacy of fast foods. The taste of foods was being addressed most when developing menu items in surveyed franchisers but nutrition and variety of menu were being considered least. Hamburger chain franchisers showed greater nutritional concerns in promoting menu items than noodles or chicken chain restaurants. Their nutritional concerns include utilization of nutritional information as promotion of menu item, providing nutrition information of menu item to consumers, and evaluating nutritional balance of their menu items. As a result of INQ evaluation of combined fast food selected by consumers for a meal, the desirable case of both nutritious and adequate in calorie was 14.7%, nutritious but lack in calorie was 44,1%, adequate in calorie was 24.5%, and undernutritious and lack in calories was 21.6%, 45.7% of snack selected by consumers had more calories than needed for a meal.

Objectives: This study investigated the different perceptions of customers toward traditional and non-traditional fast-food restaurants regarding restaurant healthfulness, corporate reputation, and the impact of corporate reputation on loyalty intentions through corporate social responsibility (CSR) motive. Methods: An online survey was conducted on U.S. residents who were aware of fast food restaurants' CSR activities. Participants selected one fast food restaurant participating in CSR activities, coded as either traditional (n = 117) or non-traditional (n = 48), and answered questions about the selected restaurant's healthfulness, reputation, CSR motives, and loyalty intentions. The participants' perceptions of healthfulness and corporate reputation of the two types of fast-food restaurants were compared. A mediation path of corporate reputation - CSR motive - loyalty intention was analyzed. Results: Non-traditional fast-food restaurants (5.02 ± 1.26) were perceived to be more healthful than traditional ones (3.93 ± 1.72). The participants perceived that compared to traditional fast-food restaurants, non-traditional ones had a better overall corporate reputation (P = 0.037), were more concerned about their customers (P = 0.029), better workplaces (P = 0.007), more environmentally and socially responsible (P < 0.001), and offered higher quality products and services (P = 0.042). Significant positive correlations were shown between restaurant healthfulness and corporate reputation (P < 0.001 for all reputation items). The suggested mediation path was supported with 95% CIs excluding zero, implying that when fast-food restaurants had a better reputation overall, were customer oriented, good employers, strong companies with a good product and service quality, social and environmental responsibility, the participants were more likely to perceive their CSR activities to be sincere and were hence loyal to that restaurant. Conclusions: Overall, participants were more favorable towards non-traditional fast-food restaurants which had a healthier image and better reputation than traditional ones. Therefore, fast food restaurants need to consider offering healthy food and enhance their image, which would maximize the return on their investment in CSR.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of fast food customer's perceived risks on risk reduction behavior, attitude and purchase intention. A total of 268 usable surveys were collected using a stratified random sampling method. Descriptive analysis and factor analysis was then conducted using SPSS 12.0, and a Cronbach's $\alpha$ was generated to estimate the internal consistency of the survey items. Multiple regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationships among variables. The results indicated that fast food safety and monetary risks had a negative effect on customer feelings and satisfaction with fast food, which had a positive effect on buying purpose and recommendation purpose. Conversely, obesity and monetary risks only had a negative effect on buying purpose. An improved menu more effectively reduced the risk perceived by the fast-food customers than an improved image.
