A travel destination offers a form of novelty to the traveler since it can provide experiences that are not of the everyday variety. Therefore, a search for novelty is important as a motivation factor when planning leisure trips and vacation activities and to identify travel market segments. This study aimed to examine the differences in demographic characteristics, travel style, and preferred food-related activities in accordance with the level of tourists' novelty seeking. This study investigated potential tourists using a self-administered questionnaire survey, which resulted in 300 usable questionnaires. The respondents of this study were classified into two groups according to their level of novelty seeking: Active novelty-seeking group and Passive novelty-seeking group. These two groups were significantly different with respect to demographic characteristics, travel style, and preference of food-related-activity experience. The results show that the Active novelty-seeking group tended to have a higher proportion of females and specialized jobs, a higher level of monthly income and education, more frequent travel, and preference for food-related activity experience than other groups. The result of this study will be helpful for the tourist industry, which needs to develop culinary and food-related experience tour programs and travel market segments.

진기함추구성향 (novelty seeking)이란 새롭고 다양한 경험을 추구하는 소비자의 욕구로서, 혁신행동의 인지적 근본으로 간주되기도 한다. 본 연구는 소비자의 진기함추구성향, 패션혁신행동, 그리고 대인영향력간의 관계를 조사하고, 이러한 관계가 성별(gender)에 따라 차이가 있는지 조사하였다. 대학생집단을 표본으로 한 설문지조사를 통해 자료가 수집되었으며 , 539장의 응답자가 분석되었다. 여자대학생이 모든 변인(진기함추구, 패션혁신행동, 대인영향력, 의복흥미, 정보추구)에 있어 남자대학생보다 높은 경향을 나타냈으나, 변인들간의 관계에 있어서는 뚜렷한 성차가 보이지 않았다. 정보추구행동이 패션혁신행동에 영향을 주는 공통변인으로, 의복흥미, 정보추구활동, 패션혁신행동이 대인영향력에 영향을 주는 공통변인들로 나타났으나 진기함추구성향은 패션혁신 행동과 대인영향력에 직접적인 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 새로움과 다양함을 시도하려는 성향/의도는 채택이라는 실질적인 행동을 수반하는 패션혁신행동을 예측하는데는 충분하지 않은 것으로 보인다.

Objectives The aim of this study is to explore the association among DRD4 polymorphism, temperament and alcohol drinking behavior of Koreans in their early adulthood. Method Participants were 172 healthy Korean adults (mean age $28.1{\pm}0.8$). Their temperament was assessed with the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) and their alcohol drinking behavior were evaluated with a self-reported questionnaire including the CAGE and the Korean version of Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT-K). DRD4 exon III 48 base pair variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) was genotyped by PCR. Results No significant association was found between DRD4 polymorphism and TCI temperament dimension (novelty seeking, harm avoidance, reward dependence, and persistence) as well as alcohol drinking behavior scales. However, novelty seeking was significantly associated with alcohol drinking behavior. The higher level of novelty seeking was associated with the higher severity index of drinking (B = -0.225, p < 0.001) and problematic alcohol use on the CAGE and AUDIT-K [Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.111, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.021-1.209, p = 0.015, OR = 1.087, 95% CI 1.009-1.170, p = 0.028]. Conclusion In our study, while there is no significant association of DRD4 polymorphism with temperament and alcohol drinking behavior, novelty seeking affects problematic alcohol use. Results suggest that novelty seeking may play an important role in problematic alcohol use in young Korean adults.

The convergence of e-commerce and social media have given rise to a social commerce of online group-buying. Social commerce of online group-buying is a subset of B2C (Business to Consumer) and uses social media for marketing to facilitate online buying of products and services. The social commerce of online group-buying offers new and popular products or services every day, and uses social media to bring together separated consumers. In these backgrounds, we think that personality trait associated with seeking new and popular products or services, and social influence from social media are likely to be related to intention to use in social commerce of online group-buying. This study aims to examine and analyze novelty seeking and social influence that influence intention to use in social commerce of online group-buying in China. Our research model, which included novelty seeking and social influence, was developed based on the technology acceptance model. A questionnaire survey was carried out for empirical analysis. The results of empirical analysis based on a sample of 218 users showed that novelty seeking has a significant positive impact on intention to use, and social influence has a significant positive impact on perceived usefulness.

본 연구는 음주 후 나타나는 문제 행동에 초점을 맞추어, 성인 음주자의 기질이 가해행동에 영향을 미치는 과정에서, 공격성과 음주행동의 순차적 매개효과를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 299명에게 기질 및 성격검사(TCI)-성인용, 한국판 공격성 질문지, 한국형 알코올 사용 장애 진단 검사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 기질 중 자극추구가 공격성에 가장 높은 설명량을 보였다. 자극추구와 가해행동의 관계에서 공격성과 음주행동의 매개효과가 유의하였으며, 그 경로 내에서 공격성과 음주행동의 순차적 매개효과는 완전매개인 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 공격성과 음주행동이 자극추구와 가해행동을 연결하는 기제로서 자극추구 성향은 가해행동에 직접적인 영향은 없으며 오직 공격성과 음주행동을 통해서만 가해행동에 영향을 미침을 시사한다.

1인 미디어콘텐츠의 인기가 증가됨에 따라 이용자의 개인성향이 1인 미디어에 대해 가치를 지각하고 타인에게 추천하려는 의도에 대한 인과관계를 살펴보았다. 단조롭고 반복적인 일상에 대해 권태로움을 민감하게 받아들이는 성향과 새로운 정보 및 자극을 탐색하며 추구하려는 성향이 높은 사람은 1인 미디어콘텐츠에 대해 감정적 가치, 지식적 가치, 경제적 가치를 지각할 것으로 보고 가설을 설정하였다. SPSS21을 이용하여 다중회귀분석을 통한 가설검증결과, 신기성 추구성향은 감정적 가치, 지식적 가치, 경제적 가치에 모두 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 새로운 것을 탐색하고 즐기고자 하는 이용자들은 1인 콘텐츠를 통해 즐거움, 재미, 슬픔을 느낄 수 있는 가치를 지각하고, 새로운 자극을 지각하고 몰랐던 사실을 알게 되는 도구로 지식적 가치를 지각하며, 새로운 정보 및 상황을 탐색하는 데 저렴한 비용으로 즐길 수 있는 경제적 가치를 지각하는 것을 알 수 있다. 감각추구성향의 경우 지식적 가치에는 유의한 영향이 있었으나, 감정적 가치와 경제적 가치에 유의한 영향이 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 권태감을 쉽게 느끼는 감각추구성향이 높은 사람은 1인 미디어 콘텐츠에 대해 호기심을 충족 가능하므로 지식적 가치를 지각하는 것을 알 수 있다. 그러나 저렴한 비용이나 무료 제공이 아니라 비용을 지불하고서라도 재미를 기대하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 감각추구성향이 높은 이용자는 지루한 콘텐츠를 이용하면서 경제적 가치를 지각하기보다 콘텐츠 비용을 지불을 하고서라도 지루하지 않고 재미있는 콘텐츠를 보기를 원하는 것을 알 수 있다.
