Recently, there has been a change in consumer culture. The paradigm is changing from a consumption model that used to emphasize rationality to an ethical consumption model that focuses on sustainability. Such a change in consumption patterns has also been seen in the cosmetics industry, but studies to empirically assess this trend are incomplete. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to empirically identify the impact of ethical consumption proprieties on attitudes and purchasing intentions for ethical cosmetics. To achieve the aim of this study, 506 adult women residing in Korea were selected as subjects and surveyed. To identify the demographic characteristics of the study participants, a technical statistical analysis and frequency analysis were conducted. To check the validity and reliability of the measuring tools, an exploratory factor analysis was performed, and the Cronbach's α factor was calculated. The analysis method was analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 and the Amos 25.0 statistical analysis programs. The results of this study are as follows. First, ethical spending tendencies had a positive impact on attitudes toward ethical cosmetics. Specifically, interest in ethical issues, altruism, and business ethics perception have had a positive impact on attitudes toward ethical cosmetics. However, consumer effectiveness had no significant impact on attitudes toward ethical cosmetics. Second, attitudes toward ethical cosmetics had a positive effect on purchasing intentions. This study found that for the spread of ethical cosmetics and ethical consumption trends varied according to the age and that attitudes toward ethical cosmetics and differences in purchasing intentions should be kept in mind. It also showed that attitudes toward ethical cosmetics affect purchasing intentions. The results of this study suggested that the analysis of adult women, the main consumers of cosmetics, by age was meaningful for finding the factors for growth in the macroscopic ethical cosmetics industry and that the industry could raise its ethical awareness. If such tasks are systematically established, ethical cosmetics are thought to be able to actively solve social problems and lead a mature cosmetics industry.

국내 윤리적 패션 상품 소비자들의 특성을 파악하기 위하여 그들의 윤리적 상품 구매 행동에 영향을 미치는 요인을 연구하였다. 윤리적 패션은 환경을 해치지 않는 소재와 생산과정, 공정무역 등을 기반으로한 의식 있는 패션으로, 최근 들어 세계 패션계의 중요한 이슈로 부각되고 있다. 전 세계적으로 이에 대한 관심이 커지면서 관련 연구도 꾸준히 행해지고 있지만 대부분 서구 사회를 기반으로 한 것으로 한국 사회의 윤리적 패션 상품 소비 행동을 이해하는 데는 한계가 따른다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 윤리적 패션 상품을 한 번 이상 구매한 경험이 있는 윤리적 패션 상품 소비자와 윤리적 패션 상품 구매 경험이 없는 소비자 간의 차이를 규명하였다. 또한, 소비자 효과성 지각, 가치(Self-direction, Benevolence, Universalism), 사회적 책임감, 지각된 통제 요인, 체면 의식, 집단 동조 의식이 윤리적 패션 상품 소비자의 윤리적 상품구매 행동에 대한 태도와 향후 일반적인 윤리적 상품 구매 의도에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 자료수집을 위해 2009년 4월 20일부터 6월 7일까지 온라인과 오프라인을 통한 양적 조사를 실시했고, 편의표본 추출법을 사용하였다. 윤리적 소비 혹은 윤리적 상품의 개념에 대해 알고 있는 소비자를 대상으로 하였고, 총 494명의 응답이 분석에 사용되었다. 구매한 경험이 있는 윤리적 패션 아이템은 액세서리가 가장 많았고, 그 다음으로는 성인의류, 아동의류, 쥬얼리, 신발 순이었다. 윤리적 패션 상품을 구매하게 된 이유는 공정하게 거래된 제품이어서, 디자인, 기부할 수 있어서, 품질, 주변인의 권유로 등이 있었다. 독립표본 t-test를 통해 윤리적 패션 상품 소비자와 아닌 소비자 간의 차이를 알아본 결과, 윤리적 패션 상품을 구매한 경험이 있는 소비자는 아닌 소비자에 비해 윤리적 상품 구매 행동에 대한 태도와 향후 구매 의도, 체면 의식, 소비자 효과성 지각 요인, 사회적 책임감 요인이 높게 나타났다. 또한 윤리적 패션 상품 소비자는 아닌 소비자보다 self-direction, universalism 가치를 자신의 삶에 있어 보다 중요한 가치로 인식하고 있었다. 다중회귀 분석을 통해 윤리적 패션 상품 소비자의 윤리적 상품 구매 행동에 대한 태도와 향후 일반적인 윤리적 상품 구매 의도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아본 결과, 윤리적 패션 상품 소비자의 경우, 윤리적 상품 구매 행동에 대한 태도에 소비자 효과성 지각 요인이 가장 큰 영향을 미치고, 그 다음으로 benevolence 가치가 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 윤리적 상품의 향후 구매 의도에는 사회적 책임감, benevolence, 태도 순으로 영향을 받고, 집단 동조 의의 경우 오히려 윤리적 상품 구매 의도에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: There has been an increasing focus on consumer ethics by researchers and practitioners alike with the former seeking to examine the general discrepancy between ethical attitude, intention and actual behaviour by proposing behavioural measures to understand ethical consumption. Research into the effects of generational cohorts and gender, two fundamental demographic factors that shape the consumer habituated repertoire, on consumer ethics has reported mixed findings. The present study investigates if there are differences in ethical consumer behavior by generational cohorts and by gender in the context of an emerging market - Vietnam. Research design, data and methodology: Data was collected using a quantitative survey (a link to the questionnaire was posted on relevant social media platforms). A total of 539 usable responses was used for ANOVAs and independent t-tests to test the hypotheses. Results: a) There are significant differences in terms of ethical consumer behavior between Gen Z and Gens Y/X, but no difference between Gen X and Gen Y; b) There is no gender difference in ethically minded consumer behavior. Conclusion: For consumer ethics, generational effects may be moderated by macroeconomic conditions, while gender alone as a biological variable may not be a reliable predictor.

Upcycling is the process of repurposing abandoned resources or useless products into products of better quality or higher environmental value. Upcycling products are evaluated to be sustainable because they demonstrate environmental values. However, domestic upcycling companies are operating on a small scale with a slow growth rate. This study aims to examine the value and risk factors of upcycling products from previous literature and clarify the effect of these ambivalent characteristics on purchase intention. This provides direction regarding factors upcycling companies should focus on. The data were collected via an online experiment with women in their 20s and 30s residing in South Korea, nationwide. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 18.0. Analysis of this data suggests that environmental, design, and self-expression value positively affect purchase intention. This extends previous upcycling literature by identifying design and self-expression value as important antecedents of purchase intention. However, in contrast to previous literature, no significant effect of performance or diversity risk was found. These results indicate that ethical attitude has a moderating effect on the relationship between environmental value and purchase intention. This study confirms that consumers intend to purchase upcycling products when they possess not only environmental value but also design and self-expression value.

The objective of this study was to review the meaning and problems of Scientific Knowledge and Ethical Value in Environmental Education. The ultimate goal of environmental education is shaping proenvironmental human behavior. The factors of human behavioral decision making are ideology, value, attitude and behavioral intentions. Ideology is a kind of belief system used by social groups to interpret their social world. The main elements of belief system are knowledge and value. The traditional thinking in education has been that we can change behavior by making human beings more knowledgeable and more valuable. In environmental education, the aim of scientific inquiry is to analysis cause-effect relation of human beings behavior and environmental phenomenon, and ethical education is to change the mind of human beings from zero-sum to positive-sum about the relations between human beings and natural environments. But, there are many problems of knowledge education and value education in environmental education. For example scientific knowledge without ethical value is dangerous to environment protection, and ethical value without scientific knowledge is vague. Therefore, we must recognize that the relationship of ethical value and scientific knowledge is not substitutional but complementary. The teaching-learning methods which can integrate knowledge and value in environmental education are rational decision making model. For this model, we can construct teaching contents with inquiry materials. To earn the benefits of specialization among several subjects in environmental education, social studies can focus on social science knowledge and decision making, science education can focus on pure natural science knowledge and scientific investigation, moral education can focus on problems of ethical value system, home economics can focus on practical action and environmental education(Environments in middle school, Ecology and Environments in high school) can integrate social-national science knowledge and ethical value in broad perspective about human beings and ecosystem. That is the method to protect from law of diminishing marginal utility of learning in environmental education.

This study examined how middle-aged female consumers' environmental consciousness influences their attitudes and ethical purchasing behavior toward RUR (recycling, upcycling, and reuse) knit products. The research employs a survey method, targeting 30-40 year old women residing in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do Province. On-line and off-line data collection were conducted. The following conclusions emerged through statistical analyses, including factor analysis, cluster analysis, t-test, and regression analysis. Firstly, respondents' environmental consciousness variables were classified into two factors, delineating high and low environmental consciousness clusters, demonstrating significant differences between them. Secondly, the high environmental consciousness cluster exhibited more positive consumer attitudes and ethical purchasing behavior towards RUR knit products. Moreover, it was established that environmental pollution consciousness and eco-friendly product purchase consciousness influenced environmental consciousness on consumer attitudes and ethical purchasing behavior. Lastly, the study confirmed that consumer attitudes mediated environmental consciousness and ethical purchasing behavior. In conclusion, this research establishes a meaningful link between environmental consciousness, consumer attitudes, and ethical purchasing behavior in 30-40 year old women. Environmentally conscious groups positively influence attitudes toward RUR knitted fashion and promote ethical purchasing behavior. Consequently, it is recommended that knit fashion companies prioritize environmental consciousness and eco-friendly products in their marketing strategies. Furthermore, diversifying the application of RUR knit products, coupled with eco-friendly production techniques, can amplify their appeal and utility, ensuring a positive impact on consumer behavior.

The environment surrounding oriental medical' doctors made change in accordance with changes of the society to make change of the doctors' ethics. In particular, some of practitioners made light of patients to let people distrust all of the medical professions. To improve such a situation, oriental medical doctors' ethics should be examined historically and philosophically. This study examined the literatures of Oriental medicine on oriental medical doctors' ethics to investigate difference of medical ethics between the Western medicine and the Oriental medicine and to suggest a way promoting oriental medical doctors' ethical consciousness. The ethics of the literatures of Oriental medicine might be classified into the two, in other words, 'medical technology' and 'mental attitude'. 'Medical technology' laid emphasis upon not only a lot of researches on Oriental medicine but also doing best to give patients medical treatment carefully. 'Mental attitude' laid emphasis upon keeping 'humanity(仁心)' thinking much of patients not to pursue excessive profits. To recover ethical consciousness, not only 'reinforced school education' but also 'reinforced legal regulation' was required. And, oriental medical doctors, nongovernmental organizations, common people and other social members were demanded to make efforts together to elevate oriental medical doctors' ethical consciousness.

기업의 사회적 책임활동에 대한 현재까지 진행된 연구결과들은 연구자별로 다른 결과들을 제시하고 있다. 이는 변인들 간의 관계에 따른 조절변수의 영향력이라 판단된다. 본 연구는 사회적 책임활동과 결과변수간의 관계를 조절하는 변수로 반기업 정서를 제안하고 그 영향력을 규명하고자 하였다. 연구결과와 시사점은 다음과 같다. 윤리적 책임활동과 자선적 책임활동은 기업태도 그리고 기업태도는 소비자의 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 많은 선행연구와 일치하는 결과로 소비자의 행동을 유발하기 위해서는 기업이나 제품에 대해 긍정적인 심리를 형성하는 것이 필요함을 의미한다. 또한 반기업 정서가 높은 집단에서는 기업이 자선적 활동을 많이 하더라도 그 효과가 유의하지 않지만 윤리적 책임을 다한 경우에는 반기업 정서가 높더라도 기업에 대한 부정적인 태도가 완화될 수 있음을 의미한다. 이는 현재 많은 기업들이 기업의 위기 시 이를 감소시킬 수 있는 대안으로 하는 사회적 공헌활동을 하지만 그 효과가 미비한 이유를 설명해준다. 따라서 사회적 책임활동을 수행하고자 하는 기업들은 그 이전에 기업의 윤리적 경영 또는 윤리적 책임활동에 먼저 관심을 가져야 될 것이다.
