Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the level of body perception, obesity, and factors associated with stages of exercise and dietary habits change in university students. Methods: A descriptive design was used. Data were collected from 279 university students using structured questionnaires. Results: The body perception was significantly associated with self rated health (F=27.89. p<.001), weight satisfaction (F=137.74. p<.001) and weight control interest (F=39.19. p<.001). The BMI was significantly associated with weight satisfaction (F=34.08. p<.001) and weight control interest (F=19.59. p=.003). But the body perception and BMI were not significantly associated with depression (F=2.17, p=.073, F=0.86. p=.462), the change of exercise (F=25.91. p=.055, F=20.34. p=.061), and dietary habits (F=12.96. p=.677, F=11.29. p=.505). The related factors affecting the change of exercise behavior were counter conditioning, self efficacy, eating behavior, and helping relationship, including 30.4% R-square. The related factor affecting the change of dietary habit was only eating behavior, including 20.0% R-square. Conclusion: This study can provide useful information to develop effective programs for the change of exercise and dietary habits considering university students' stages of change according to the transtheoretical model.

This study explores the effects of a television program on viewers' perception of vinegar. The 97 viewers were recruited from both students majoring in Food $(13.3\%)$ and those in non-Food subjects $(86.7\%)$. In this study the participants ($31.1\%$ males and $68.9\%$ females) were exposed to a 30 minute television program on vinegar. The students were surveyed to quantitatively test the effects of the television program on a viewer's perception. The results suggest that there is a correlation between viewing this television program and changes in perceptions of vinegar. The pre-test shows that $80.0\%$ of the participants had a minimum knowledge about vinegar and $16.7\%$ of the participants had no knowledge about vinegar. Only $3.3\%$ of the participants had a sufficient knowledge about vinegar before viewing the television program. After viewing the television program on vinegar, $80.0\%$ of the participants responded that the program 'highly influenced change' in their perception of vinegar and $20.0\%$ of the participants responded that the program gave them 'moderate effects on the perception change' while $0.0\%$ of the participants answered that there was 'no change' in their perception of vinegar. While there was no significant difference found among students' prior knowledge about vinegar in terms of gender and academic major, the study found the television program viewing experience made a great impact on their perception of vinegar. This research suggests that this television program about vinegar does not only influence the viewers' perception of vinegar but also creates an overall change in perception of purchase intention, practical uses of vinegar, and vinegar-drinking.

If we may practice the nutrition education planned on the basis which carefully grasped the inappropriate behavioral determinants of middle-school students, it might be an effective method achieving the change in perception and behavior improving the distorted perception about the ideal body shape, so we are to suggest the 8 week program of body shape perception improvement for successful nutrition education as follows. The body shape perception improvement program is a step-by-step group consulting program. At the introduction stage, we let them understand the meaning of true beauty and body change of teenage period and forming of sexual identity. At the stage of perception conversion, we let them have the opportunity to observe the status of body perception of the teenager and self-observation. At the stage of correction, we let them criticize the distorted body image in the society with mass media at the same time with the self-reflection. At the stage of maintenance and evaluation, we suggested the behavior guidance while preparing it. Setting this as the basis, we applied the contents such as the evaluations through cultural sharing events making somethings while directly participating. As the target groups to practice education were middle school students, we considered the learning level and behavioral features of the middle school students, and composed the programs including the methods such as role play, watching real things, media production, discussions and experiences. If the program of body shape perception improvement developed at this study could be utilized at the field of schools, the teenagers can change their ways of thought naturally avoiding the view about unified appearance rightly perceiving negative self-image that the teenagers can have and if the group consulting can be practiced regularly at each school, many students may experience the change in perception, so it might solicit the improvement of health of the families and local societies as well as that of the individual student.

Understanding the level of a person's perception of changes that have occurred on the face after orthodontic treatment is critical to the process of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of perception of profile and frontal changes in lower facial height. Forty students attending art school participated in a study evaluating the level of a participant's perception of changes in the lower facial height. Participants compared computer-graphic frontal and profile photographs with balanced proportions and photograph simulations of 1, 2, 3, and 4mm changes in lower facial height from stomion to the chin. At least a 2 mm change in lower facial height for the profile view and 3mm in the frontal view was needed to be perceived after orthodontic treatment. The level of a person's perception of the change in lower facial height was more sensitive in the profile view than in the frontal view, and information about facial changes given prior to evaluation enhanced the level of perception.

This study investigates the effects of fashion innovativeness and utilization on the price perception of formal wear and climbing wear as well as gender differences on price perception and the relationship of the variables. Price perception measurements were based on reference price and reservation price; subsequently, a premium price ratio was calculated based on the measured prices. A survey that involved male and female adult consumers was conducted in Daegu in August 2011. A total of 321 responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlations and independent sample t-test. Two factors of fashion innovativeness were derived and named as unique-oriented innovativeness and change-oriented innovativeness. The utilization of formal wear and climbing wear was higher in the male group versus the female group. Reference price and reservation price were identified similar to the actual consumer purchasing prices reported in previous studies. Male consumers showed a tendency in price perception in accordance with the utilization. The change-oriented innovativeness of the female group led to a positive relationship with the perceived price of climbing jackets.

This study was conducted to find out the factors affecting the stages of behavioral change about GMO(n=202 university students). 52.0% of the respondents had no experience in GMO education, the stages of pre-contemplation and contemplation were 35.6% and 29.7%, respectively. Experience and awareness on GMO were the highest at 86.6% and 51.5%, respectively, and 55% of the respondents did not know about the implementation of the labeling system. Positive and negative perceptions on GMO score were 3.41 and 3.22, respectively. The need for the full labeling system of GM foods was 56.4%, the intention not to pay when the price rises due to the system was 70.8%. Regression analysis of factors affecting the stages of behavioral change showed health interest(t=2.10, p<0.05), educational experience(t=2.81, p<0.01), knowledge score(t=2.260, p<0.05), and negative perception(t=2.13, p<0.05). The results of this study suggest that in order to increase the stage of behavioral change in GMO, it is necessary to raise interest in health and knowledge and have the correct perception through GMO education
