This paper outlines the findings of a consumer survey conducted in 1996 and 2001 by the University of Bonn, Germany, across 15 European countries. The survey involved a sample of 3,300 respondents in 1996 and around 11,000 respondents in 2001, throughout all 15 EU countries. Children and adolescents, between the ages of 10 and 17, were surveyed about their consumption habits and their attitudes towards the environment. The paper outlines the key findings on 'Children's fears and future prospects'. Children are exposed to a great mass of information, not only derived from the media but also from what they experience directly in their everyday-life. Some of this information translates into worries that adopt a clearer (more realistic) form when children become adolescents, as they might be easily involved in those events, and the understanding of the processes that may cause or continue them is deeper. Today's children and adolescents are under more pressure, since the social/political/economical spectrum is constantly changing. Change produces anxiety, fear of what will result from these transformations, as it implies that the social order will be reorganized. This paper reports on a long term comparative study among children and adolescents throughout the European Union, analyzed by country, age group and gender. It draws different preoccupations of young generations and consequent future expectations. It concludes by considering the influence of social and political organizations, as well as the family, on children and adolescents, as these might help to sustain a positive attitude towards various future events.

This study defines the concept of triple media and examines various marketing media that influence a consumer's purchase of outdoor fashion brands. We explore the effects of gender and age on information searches related to outdoor fashion brands and purchase criteria related to outdoor clothing. A survey of consumers who visited stores was conducted. We targeted consumers between the ages of 15 and 50 and analyzed 764 questionnaires. The results show that triple media involve eight factors: five factors (printed ads or radio ads, campaign ads, Internet ads, TV ads, and store ads) in paid media, one factor (direct marketing) in owned media, and two factors (channels of social network services, channels of direct promotion) in earned media. Further, the evaluation/appraisal criteria of outdoor clothing consist of four attributes (practicality, promotional activities, product power, and customer service). The teenager group showed significantly low usage of campaign ads, direct marketing, and direct promotion, while the use of Internet ads is particularly high among teenagers compared to other age groups. Moreover, teenagers are least likely to rely on practicality when evaluating clothing and are most likely to value product power. Additionally, women show significantly high usage of direct marketing. In terms of the clothing appraisal criteria, women assign higher value to practicality and promotional factors than men. The theoretical and managerial implications of the findings are discussed.

우리나라는 최근 상품판매 시장의 개방과 상품판매의 다양화에 따라 대형 슈퍼마켓이 급성장하면서 소비자의 식품 및 생활용품의 구입행동에도 변화가 일어나고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 변화를 연구하기 위해서 부산광역시와 울산광역시의 20대부터 60대까지 남녀 소비자 190명으로부터 유효설문지를 회수하여 분석한 결과, 전체적인 특징에서 남성은 디자인 인자인 패키지디자인, 색상, 상품디자인의 영향을, 여성은 코스트 인자인 가격과 형태에 강한 영향을 받고 있었다. 상품의 특징에 있어서는 여성은 본 연구의 모든 상품에 대하여 가격을 중요시하고 있었으며, 남성은 가격을 중요시하지 않고 있었다. 또한, 여성이 TV광고에 영향을 받고 있으며, 남녀 모두 진열되어 있는 상품에서 다시 정보를 확인하고 구입하는 경우가 가장 많은 것을 알 수 있었다. 이상으로부터 특히 주 고객층이 남성을 대상으로 하는 상품에 대해서는 디자인을 중시하여 상품개발에 임해야 한다는 결론을 내릴 수 있었다. 또한, 남성과 여성 모두에게 패키지디자인과 디스플레이는 상품판매에 있어서 중요한 요소로 작용되고 있기 때문에 향 후 본 연구의 상품과 관련된 제조업체들의 패키지디자인과 상품진열의 효과에 대한 상호 보완적인 연구에도 보다 큰 관심을 갖고 연구해야 할 것이다.

본 조사 연구는 경남, 부산지역 및 대구, 경북지역의 한우 소비자 400명을 대상으로 설문조사를 통하여, 한우의 구매 특성과 소비자 만족도를 조사였다. 불충실하게 응답한 37부를 제외하고 총 363부를 선정하여 통계 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 설문조사에 대한 응답자들의 성별은 남성 107명(29.5%), 여성 256명(70.5%)이었으며, 연령은 20대 70명(19.3%), 30대 97명(26.7%), 40대 131명(36.1%), 50대 이상 65명(17.9%)이었다. 한우 구매횟수는 연령이 많을수록 구매횟수가 더 많은 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.05), 한우 구입처는 농축협 한우전문점(54.5%)이 가장 많았다(p<0.05). 한우의 구매 부위는 등심(43.5%), 갈비(22.9%), 안심(10.5%), 양지(9.9%), 우둔 사태(4.7%), 부산물, 기타(3.3%), 목심(2.8%), 채끝 설도(2.5%) 순으로 나타났다. 수입쇠고기의 구매경험에서는 '가끔 있다'와 '있다'가 각각 24.55%와 22.3%를 나타내었으며, 그 이유로 '가격이 싸서'(73.3%)가 대부분이었다. 수입쇠고기의 둔갑판매에 대하여서는 '가끔 그렇다(69.1%)'로 응답하였으며, 이에 대한 예방책으로 쇠고기생산이력추적시스템(61.7%), 쇠고기원산지표시제(17.1%) 순으로 나타났다. 전반적으로 쇠고기생산이력추적시스템과 원산지표시제 도입에 따른 소비자 신뢰도가 70% 이상이라고 볼 때, 이에 응답율은 각각 61.1%와 75.5%로 나타났다(p<0.05). 한우 브랜드 육으로서 성장하기 위한 선행요인은 한우고기의 맛(3.90점), 고객만족도(3.20점), 안전성(3.20점), 고객신뢰도(3.20점)순위로 나타났다. 한우에 대한 전반적인 소비자의 안전성은 학력(p<0.05)과 직업(p<0.01)에 따라 크게 달랐으며, 고객만족도는 연령과 학력, 직업에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났고(p<0.05), 고객신뢰도는 학력과 수입, 직업에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타나 통계적인 차이를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합해볼 때, 한우소비자들은 수입쇠고기의 둔갑판매에 대한 우려가 높은 편이지만 쇠고기생산이력추적시스템 제도와 쇠고기원산지표시제가 올바르게 정착될 수 있도록 정부차원의 지속적인 교육과 관리감독이 이루어진다면, 소비자들의 고객만족과 신뢰도는 높아질 것으로 판단되며, 한우 브랜드 육으로 성장하기 위해서는 맛과 안전성이 가장 중요한 것으로 판단된다.
