As the importance of electronic commerce(EC) increases, some people argue that traditional commerce(TC) will ultimately give way to EC in the near future. Regardless of the type of commerce, however, it is the value factors of the customer that would formulate the direction of change in the market. This study investigates the influence of those value factors upon the attitude towards the type commerce and the repurchase intention of products and service. It also addresses the impact of the customer's risk disposition and level of confidence. A number of customer's value factors are hypothesized to affect the attitude, and the attitude in turn is expected to be related to the repurchase intention. Based on two hundred and ninety responses from the computer survey, the hypotheses are tested. The convenience, cost reduction, and information satisfaction factors affect EC attitude and repurchase intention. Similarly, the reliability, personal interaction, and shopping enjoyment factors affect TC attitude and repurchase intention. The comparison between EC and TC factors indicates the significant difference in the time saving factor in favor of EC. The personal characteristics such as risk disposition and level of confidence also influence the attitude and repurchase intention. The implications and limitations of this study are discussed. The value factors identified in this study may serve as important checklists for those firms already in EC and those intending to enter the market.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship of knowledge and attitude to temptation toward cigarette smoking in adolescents. Methods: A survey was conducted using a 52-item questionnaire in 2 high school settings. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, post hoc analysis and Pearson correlation coefficients were used with SPSS WIN version 14.0 to analyze the data. Results: There were significant differences in attitude toward smoking and smoking temptation depending on gender, academic performance, religion, current smoking status, parental responses toward smoking, initiation of smoking, and the number of friends who smoke (p<.001). The level of smoking knowledge was not related to any of general characteristics as well as attitude toward smoking and smoking temptation. However, negative attitude toward smoking was moderately correlated with reduced smoking temptation (r=-.608, p<.001). Conclusion: Adolescents' attitude toward smoking and coping ability against smoking temptation were influenced by various factors related to smoking behavior and social situations, rather than by the level of smoking knowledge. In order to develop an effective smoking prevention and cessation program for adolescents, various strategies to change attitudes toward smoking should be included.

The participants filled out a questionnaire regarding their knowledge, attitude towards palliative care and perception of death. The attitude scale was divided into 3 subscales: comfort level, nurses' role and nurses' involvement with family. Results: Comfort level regarding attitude towards palliative care was positively correlated with knowledge (r=.220, p=.016) and the perception of death (r=.194, p=.042). Nurses' role showed a positive correlation with perception of death (r=.395, p=.001). Conclusion: NICU nurses' knowledge of palliative care was below standard across the board, implying that there is a definite need for palliative care education for nurses. The education program for palliative care should include a section that focuses on fostering a positive perception of death as well as defining and delineating the role of nurses.
