The current exploratory study attempted to investigate the levels of expected and perceived service quality of in-flight meals. A questionnaire was developed following extensive literature review and in-depth interviews. The survey was conducted on board a flight by international passengers and also by passengers in the trans lounge waiting for connecting flights between October 21, 2005 through October 30, 2005. Out of the 450 questionnaires administered, a total of 319 completed questionnaires were returned, yielding a response rate of 89.6%. The 20 items representing the service quality factor of in-flight meals were analyzed, resulting in four distinct dimensions-food quality, employee service, cleanliness and reliability. In all dimensions, customer expectation was higher than the perceived level of service and the service quality of Korean based airlines was higher than that compared to foreign based airlines. There were differences in the perceived service quality of in-flight meals according to the demographics of the respondents. The results of this study can be beneficial from a theoretical and practical point of view by providing empirical data that measures the service quality of in-flight meals.

Fur apparel is a representative luxury item that displays wealth and social status; however, it is also recognized as an unethical product criticized for its animal maltreatment in the production process. Understanding consumer responses to an ambivalent object, such as fur apparel, is an important research topic both academically and practically. This study investigates the hierarchical effects of perceived benefits and risks of fur apparel on consumers' emotions and purchase intention by applying the ABC model of attitudes to identify the mediating effects of consumer emotions. An online survey was conducted on 390 female consumers that verified hypotheses through structural equation modeling and bootstrapping analysis using phantom variables. The initial results of the survey showed that the relationship between perceived conspicuous benefits and purchase intention towards fur apparel was partially mediated by positive emotion. Second, the relationship between perceived epistemic benefits and purchase intention was completely mediated by positive emotion. Third, the relationship between perceived ethical risk and purchase intention was completely mediated by positive and negative emotions. Fourth, perceived social risk did not affect the purchase intention of fur apparel significantly. The results support that cognitive beliefs about the subject have a significant positive effect on behavioral intentions through emotions as suggested in the ABC model of the attitude. This study provides an in-depth understanding of consumer responses to ambivalent objects by revealing the individual mediating effects of consumers' positive and negative emotions.

This study identifies factors of perceived risk of up-cycling fashion products and investigates perceived risk factors that influence consumers' trust, purchase intention, and recommendation intention towards upcycling fashion products. We also examine the relationship of trust, purchase intention, and recommendation intention for upcycling fashion products. A qualitative research method using a free narrative form and depth interview were used. The perceived risk from up-cycling fashion products generated 5 factor solutions: aesthetic risk, sanitary risk, social risk, performance risk, and economic risk. Next, 201 effective data were collected from a questionnaire survey and analyzed with SPSS 22.0. The results are summarized as follows. First, aesthetic risk and performance risk had a negative effect on products. Second, aesthetic risk and performance risk had negative influence on purchase intention for upcycling fashion products. Third, performance risk had a negative impact on recommendation intention for upcycling fashion products. Fourth, trust had positive effect on purchase intention and recommendation intention for upcycling fashion products. The results of the current study provides various theoretical and practical implications for marketers and retailers interested in up-cycling fashion products.

대부분의 입체 영상 시스템은 양안 시차에 의존하여 대상의 깊이를 제공하고 있다. 동일한 장면을 바라보는 경우 응시대상의 수렴각이나 비용시 대상의 양안 시차는 개인의 동공간 거리에 따라 달라지게 되지만, 대부분의 업체 영상 시스템에서는 동공간 거리와 같은 개인 차이를 고려하지 않고 동일한 영상을 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 개인의 동공간 거리가 입체시 지각에 어떤 영향을 미치는 지를 알아보기 위해서 실험 1에서 응시 대상의 지각된 깊이를, 실험 2 에서 비응시 대상의 상대적인 깊이를 측정하고 각 조건에서 발생된 개인차가 동공간 거리에 의해서 얼마나 잘 설명될 수 있는 지를 살펴보았다. 응시 대상의 지각된 깊이는 응시 대상의 화면시차를 네 단계로 변화시켜 응시 대상과 두 눈에 의해 만들어지는 수렴각을 조작한 후 측정되었고 비응시 대상의 상대적인 깊이는 양안 시차의 크기를 여덟 단계로 조작한 후 측정되었다. 동공간 거리가 긴 사람은 짧은 사람에 비해 시차로부터 지각되는 깊이가 상대적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 회귀 분석결과 지각된 깊이에서의 개인차는 개인의 동공간 거리에 의해서 잘 설명될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 각 개인의 동공간 거리를 고려하여 입체 영상을 생성한다면 주어진 영상으로부터 발생될 수 있는 개인차의 문제를 줄일 수 있음을 시사하며, 본 연구에서 발견된 회귀 함수들은 동공간 거리가 고려된 업체 영상을 생성하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

People are getting more interested in 3D stereoscopic movie, but due to the sudden concern, there is less research how 3D stereoscopic movie influence on people. The present research aims at developing 3D stereoscopic movie measurement. For this, we tested three variables which are perceived functionality, impression, and presence. Perceived functionality is defined as how people perceive functions of 3D stereoscopic movie for instance depth, and impression is defined as how people integrate various information as a total image. Finally, presence is a psychological state that individual's perception fails to accurately acknowledge the role of the technology in the experience. As a result, perceived functionality consists of four factors, impression consists of eight factors, and presence consists of three factors. As an exploratory research, we cannot guarantee the validity of the measurement, but as a seminal research it is worthwhile to pay attention.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to explore self-perceived objectives, effects, determinant factors of satisfaction and demands on home-based rehabilitation service (HBRS) based on a community-based rehabilitation (CBR) model in community-dwelling disabilities. Methods: This research was conducted through in-depth interview. HBRS was conducted by four physical therapists for one hour a day, once a week, for eight weeks. After an eight-week intervention period, in-depth interviews were conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire for five recipients of HBRS and six care givers. Results: For the physical effect, some participants experienced positive effects, whereas others did not due to the short-term intervention period. For the social and emotional effects, 'occurrence of motivation for exercise', 'change of surroundings' and 'sorriness for the therapist' emerged as keywords. For the determinant factors of satisfaction, 'movement-inducing therapy', 'therapy from the specialist', 'development of friendship & social network', and 'learning the way of self-rehabilitation' emerged as keywords. For further demands on HBRS, participants stated that 'sufficient time for therapy', 'user opinion-reflected therapy', 'additional instructions for therapeutic exercise & activities of daily living', and 'active promotion for HBRS' were necessary. Conclusion: Participants were satisfied with the physical, social, emotional, and educational aspects of HBRS. In particular, the participants regarded educational aspects as the significant factor throughout self-perceived objectives, determinant factors of satisfaction and the demands. This result suggests that when providing HBRS to community-dwelling persons with disabilities, therapists should recognize the necessity and significance not only of the physical, but also the educational aspect of HBRS.

Purpose: For the last few decades, TQM has become a hot topic in the inner-disciplinary field in the production management line. Still, unfortunately, the study of TQM and Quality Output management is partially only attached to the tangible side in the production management line. Whereas theoretically, the implications of TQM require incremental improvement in all management lines (e.g., HRM, Marketing, Operations, and Distribution Management). Therefore, starting from the main problem, this study aims to analyze the effect of total quality management, Organizational Culture, Perceived Distribution of Quality Awareness, and quality output through a more in-depth analysis. Research design, data and methodology: We conducted a survey of 170 respondents from managers, staff, and employees from 48 companies in Indonesia. We used a quantitative approach with the SEM method to answer this study's problem formulation and hypotheses. Results: The results of our research stated that based on the demonstration of statistical test results, all hypotheses were positive and significant, both direct and indirect relationship demonstrations. Conclusions: Universally, the findings in this study illustrate that the supporting factor for creating value-added in TQM and Quality output lies in the optimal and positive organizational culture and Perceived Distribution Quality Awareness factors in the organization.

Objective: This study aimed to understand mothers' beliefs about infants and their practices. Methods: As a qualitative study, the participants were 11 mothers and their 18-24 month old infants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations. Results: The participants' maternal beliefs about infants were contrasted in terms of infants' abilities and respect for infants. First, the mothers that perceived infants as competent beings, believed that infants can understand daily routine, communicate and empathize, and concentrate. On the contrary, the mothers that perceived infants as incapable beings, believed that infants lack the understanding of daily routine and the abilities of communication, empathy, and concentration. Second, the mothers that perceived infants as subjective beings, respected their infants, and their infants' opinions when making decisions. On the other hand, the mothers that perceived infants as objective beings, believed that infants should be led by adults and their opinions as not being very important. Third, their maternal beliefs were closely connected to their practices. Conclusion/Implications: Since maternal beliefs about infants turn out to be significant in mothers' thoughts and practices with their infants, it is necessary to figure out maternal beliefs about infants and support them to have more positive beliefs.
