This paper investigates the causal relationships between financial attitudes, spending behaviors and the financial satisfaction of adolescent consumers. The study used Cronbach' $\alpha$, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Duncan's multiple range test, multiple regression and path analysis for statistical analysis and applied it to 1,252 questionnaires. The results are summarized as follows: Path analysis revealed that the financial satisfaction of adolescents had a direct linear relationship with variables such as grade, sex, financial attitudes. (financial situation compared to past and financial situation compared to others) and types of spending behaviors (planned, conspicuous and excessive). Planned spending behavior was the most influential variable on financial satisfaction. Planned spending behavior had positive linear relationship with the attitude toward the past financial situation. Conspicuous spending behavior had positive linear relationships with the attitudes toward the past financial situation and the financial situation compared to others. However, it showed negative relationship with the attitude toward a future financial situation. Impulsive spending behavior had a positive relationship with the attitude toward others' financial situation.

The purpose of this paper was to present the proximity of clothing to self(PCS) which is a subjective measure developed by Sontag and Lee(2004). PCS is the scale to examine the relationship between self and clothing. Since PCS scale was prepared for American consumers, it is necessary to verify the validity as a measure to Korean consumers. Consumers' quality of life are functionally related to satisfaction with all of life's domain and subdomains. Clothing in life facilitates the creativity and expressiveness to the wearer, especially to adolescent. The concept of bottom-up spillover effect developed by Lee et al.(2002) was adopted as research model. Data were gathered by surveying university students using convenient sampling, 419 questionnaires were used in the statistical analysis. It was proved that PCS scale was effective measure to Korean consumers. And also PCS scale could be a proxy indicator in view of the fact that clothing was deeply related to consumers' quality of life.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of adolescent consumers' attitudes toward money and conspicuous consumption on unethical consumption behavior in commercial transactions. The main survey was conducted targeting 290 middle and high school students. As a result of this research, first in the case of adolescent's attitudes toward money, the symbol for happiness and success was 3.11 and the means of control was 1.77 respectively. The level of conspicuous consumption behavior was 2.75 and the level of unethical consumption behavior scored as passive unethical consumption behavior was 1.38 while the active unethical consumption behavior was 2.10. Second, in the case of the attitude toward money as a means of control, it differentiated according to the level of living and the amount of allowance. Conspicuous consumption behavior differentiated according to the amount of allowance and the father's education. Active unethical consumption behavior showed a difference according to the amount of allowance and the father's education. Multiple linear regression analysis conducted to identify relative effects of the variables that affect unethical consumption behavior, in case of passive unethical consumption behavior, showed that conspicuous consumption(${\beta}$=.23, p<.01) and attitudes toward money as a means of control(${\beta}$=.29, p<.001) with an explanatory power of 18%. In the case of active unethical consumption behavior, showed that sex(${\beta}$=.16, p<.05), father's education(${\beta}$=-.15, p<.05), attitudes toward money as means of control(${\beta}$=.18, p<.5) and conspicuous consumption(${\beta}$=.36, p<.001) with an explanatory power of 26%.

본 연구에서는 남녀 중학생의 과시소비성향 수준을 알아보고 과시소비성향에 영향을 미치는 관련 변인들을 검증하여 청소년의 소비생활을 분석함으로써 청소년의 과시소비성향에 대한 실태를 파악하고. 건전한 청소년 소비문화의 형성을 위한 청소년 소비자 교육의 기초 자료를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 경기도 구리시에 있는 중학교 2학년 남녀학생 530명을 대상으로 하여 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째. 남녀 중학생 청소년의 과시소비성향은 중간정도로 나타났다. 과시소비성향의 하위영역인 지위인식적 과시소비성향, 브랜드지향적 과시소비성향, 수입품지향적 과시소비성향도 중간정도로 나타났으나 유행지향적 과시소비성향은 약간 높았다. 둘째, 청소년의 과시소비성향은 성별에 따라 차이가 있었다. 남학생의 과시소비성향이 여학생보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 청소년의 과시소비성향은 또래집단과 대중스타, 자아존중감에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 청소년 소비자는 또래집단과 대중스타의 영향을 많이 받을수록, 자아존중감이 낮을수록 과시소비성향이 높았다.

The purpose of this study was to conduct factor analysis on Foodservice consumers' lifestyle patterns in dietary life, classify lifestyle patterns, and identify how lifestyle patterns influence the 5 stages of decision making process for purchase. Among 300 copies of the distributed questionnaire, 259 copies were collected for this study. It used a total of 283 copies as the effective samples for empirical analysis except 12 copies with false entries among them. For data analysis, it conducted frequency analysis, validity and reliability analysis, factor analysis, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 12.0. As a result, Hypothesis 1 was significant while Hypothesis 2, 3, and 5 were partially significant. On the contrary, Hypothesis 4 was not significant. Therefore, lifestyle patterns had partially significant effects on decision making process for dining-out purchase. This study subdivided dining-out consumers' lifestyles which were limited to dietary life, and also subdivided decision making process for dining-out consumers' dining-out purchase into five stages. It is significant and very suggestive that this study identified what lifestyle patterns concretely had significant effects on the specific decision making stage. In the future, the researches on adolescent class and silver class should be executed continuously.

Although several studies have assessed the influence of the glycemic index on body weight and blood pressure among adults, limited evidence exists for the pediatric age population. In the current study, we compared the effects of low glycemic index (LGI) diet to the healthy nutritional recommendation (HNR)-based diet on obesity and blood pressure among adolescent girls in pubertal ages. This 10-week parallel randomized clinical trial comprised of 50 overweight or obese and sexually mature girls less than 18 years of age years, who were randomly assigned to LGI or HNR-based diet. Macronutrient distribution was equivalently prescribed in both groups. Blood pressure, weight and waist circumference were measured at baseline and after intervention. Of the 50 participants, 41 subjects (include 82%) completed the study. The GI of the diet in the LGI group was $42.67{\pm}0.067$. A within-group analysis illustrated that in comparison to the baseline values, the body weight and body mass index (not waist circumference and blood pressure) decreased significantly after the intervention in both groups (P = 0.0001). The percent changes of the body weight status, waist circumference and blood pressure were compared between the two groups and the findings did not show any difference between the LGI diet consumers and those in the HNR group. In comparison to the HNR, LGI diet could not change the weight and blood pressure following a 10-week intervention. Further longitudinal studies with a long-term follow up should be conducted in this regard.

In order to investigate the differences of nutrient intakes by the economic status and different age groups and to identify the nutritional risk group and its specific nutrition problem, 2001 Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey were analyzed. The subject's numbers of 9,391 were classified into four classes such as low (14.2%), medium (37.2%), high (26.0%), and high above (22.6%) on the basis of the family monthly income and the 2001 Korean minimum cost of living according to the family size. Mean intakes of energy and all nutrients assessed by the RDAs, lipid-energy %, and MAR were increased as the economic status were going up. Na intake expressed per 1,000kcal was in reverse. Nearly a half(45.5%) of the low-income people seemed to take nutritionally inadequate diet in consideration with MAR values. Deficiencies of iron and even energy in the toddlers (1 to 2 years) of low-income class were of great concern. Adolescent age group has been observed that their calcium and iron intakes, and possibly energy, were appeared to be the most deficient among all the age groups regardless of the economic status. For the elderly in all the economic status except high-above class, calcium, vitamin A, and riboflavin were commonly deficient nutrients. Calcium deficiency was appeared throughout nearly all the ages except toddlers and all the economic classes. Even in the high-above class 57.3% took insufficient amount of calcium.
