Second, perceived career attitude maturity level of the students categorized as the androgynous type was the highest, followed by the masculine, feminine and undifferentiated types of students (p<.05). Third, the levels of decisiveness, purposiveness, self-reliance of male students categorized as androgynous, masculine, and undifferentiated types were higher than those of female students.

The reliability among the specific items of this study may be regarded high. And the difference between groups according to gender appeared that Fc 1, Fc 2, and Fc 3 were significantly different at 5% level as a result of T-examination analysis and the distributed analysis of the average monthly pocket money resulted in the fact that the difference between groups appeared significantly at F3 below significant level of 0.05. The testing of the difference of reason why the fast-food is preferred according to frequency of use per week lead to Chi-square value of 41.399 with free degree of 12, so significant degree became 0.000. The zero hypothesis that the two variables are not independent each other is not reserved because it has a small value of signigicant degree below 0.05, and the permanent hypothesis is adopted.

This study was conducted to examine the consumption realities of processed food and the perception of food labeling with targets of university students attending schools in Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas. The reason for buying processed food was because it is easy to cook. As for the number of using processed food, it was answered that everyday dairy products, noodles, breads and snacks for 3~4 times a month, and meat processed foods, canned foods, sauces and frozen foods for 2~3 times a month. With regard to selecting processed products, both male and female students answered with taste and price first, barely considering the safety and nutritional elements. It turned out that they check the price, expiration date and country of origin in order upon buying processed foods. Most of them recognized food labeling, but answered that they checked it sometimes in order to check the 'expiration date' and the 'calories'. They were aware of the food nutritional contents indication. It was turned out that male students check it for nutrients and female students for weight control. The effect of the processed food indication was that it is easy to choose the necessary foods for health and as well as for comparing the food with other products. The satisfaction of the food labeling system was mediocre. The results indicated that the food indication system needs to be educated or promoted.

The trend of increasing consumption of less nutritious foods makes the college years a critical period to enlighten young adults regarding healthy living, nutrition knowledge, and physical activity. This current study aims (a) to examine the influence of confidence in nutrition knowledge on college students' health-related behavioral intentions, and (b) to investigate the moderating effect of gender on relationship between confidence in nutrition knowledge and college students' health-related behavioral intentions. The results provide empirical evidence of college students' health behaviors showing that confidence in nutrition knowledge leads to an increase in behavioral intention to eat healthy food and to involve in physical activities. Also, the greater influence of confidence in nutrition knowledge on behavioral intention to eat healthy food is found among females students than male students. This study contributes to university foodservice literature and operators by providing useful information.
