As the types of wedding ceremonies become diversified, and consumers' needs become more selective, greater importance is given to wedding planners' roles in the wedding industry, and consumers require differentiated types of wedding service. As a preliminary qualitative study in this field, an ethnographic study was conducted to identify factors valued by consumers when selecting a wedding planner in the wedding planner market, which has rapidly grown in recent years. An in-depth interview was performed with eight participants in terms of wedding planner utilization type and consumers' understanding of wedding preparation with a wedding planner. The collected data were analyzed through taxonomy, component analysis and decision table analysis; for validation, professional wedding planners were asked to review the items valued by consumers in selecting a wedding planner. Four factors - expense characteristic, wedding planners, wedding consulting companies, and customer characteristics - were identified, along with eight sub-factors (capability, service attitude, technical communication, personal factors, wedding planner encounter paths, spouse's satisfaction status, and companies). Out of these, price (within budget), wedding planners' capability, wedding planners' service attitude are expected to be meaningful in further research because they were found to be attributes commonly valued by every respondent. This study is significant in that it has made a new approach to understanding wedding planner selection attributes through ethnographic research and identified new wedding planner selection attributes.

Recently China has become one of the major markets for luxury brands. In addition, practicing social responsibility by manufacturers of luxury brands has become ubiquitous because consumers' perception of such practices may affect their purchase decisions positively. This study explored Chinese shoppers' perception of luxury brands' social responsibility practices and their information seeking behavior. In this study, value congruence was used as a theoretical framework. Twelve participants were selected out of customers in a shopping mall in Beijing, and they were subject to in-depth interview. The interview consisted of open-ended questions about perception of luxury brands' social responsibility practices, sources to access such practices, and the degree of personal value congruence to such practices as well as demographic information. Qualitative approach was used to analyze the data. Half of the participants indicated their awareness of the social responsibility practices of luxury brands, which sets up a foundation for understanding importance of luxury brands' social responsibility practices. Approximately half of the participants preferred to learn about luxury brands' socially responsible practices online especially via social media. These findings imply that Chinese luxury shoppers' trust and preference for the companies would be enhanced by effective development and advertisement of companies' social responsibility practices, and thus provide luxury companies with useful information on marketing strategies.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences of traditional korean medical doctors (TKMD) who have treated victims of sexual violence by collecting their qualitative data that cannot be obtained with statistical data. Methods : In-depth interviews were conducted with semi-structured questionnaires for each of 5 TKMDs who had experiences in treating sexual violence victims. For analysis, the interviews were recorded along with their facial expressions and actions during the interview process, and all collected data were analyzed by colaizzi's method. In each process, a 'phenomenological reduction' was applied. Results : The identity of TKMD's experience of treating sexual violence victims was structured into 25 themes, 9 theme clusters, and 4 categories. The 4 categories included 'Professionalism and sense of efficacy', 'Personal life experiences and mental trauma treatment experiences that are mutually influencing each other', 'Factors needed to increase TKMD's participation in treatment of sexual violence victims', 'Deriving the future strategy of traditional korean medicine'. Conclusions : This study derived the essence and meaning of TKMDs' experiences in treating sexual violence victims, and presented future directions of traditional korean medicine in this field. It is expected that the results of this study would be used as the basis for establishing the traditional korean medical support system for sexual violence victims in the context of the korean medical system.

Purpose: This study attempts to investigate causal and intervening conditions for sport participation of Korean immigrants in the United States. Research design, data, and methodology: Grounded theory approach was used to develop a conceptual framework that presents the psychosocial processes that occur in immigrants' experience of sport participation. Participants were selected purposefully for information-rich cases. Korean immigrants with current experience of having periodically participated in sports were the criterion for sample selection. Based on selection criteria, 9 Korean immigrants took part in interview. The interview discussions were taped and transcribed verbatim into a Word file. The process for data analysis included four grounded theory approaches of purposive and theoretical sampling, an open and axial coding, memo writing, and finally the development of the conceptual framework. Results: Six concepts were revealed in the causal conditions that facilitate the process of immigrants' sport participation in the states: Personal experience, significant others, personality, physical environment, psychological well-being, and social connection. Three concepts were revealed as the intervening conditions that block the process of immigrants' sport participation in the states: Conflict with cultural change of organization, Pressure at workplace, and Economic constraints. Conclusions: Conceptual model presents causal and intervening factors. Further implications were discussed.

스마트 의류란 생활전반에 편의를 도모하기 위하여 기술이 접목된 기능성이 있는 의복이다. 소비자의 인식과 필요성을 알기 위하여 브레인스토밍, 개인면접, 포커스그룹미팅, 그리고 컨텐츠 분석을 실시하였다. 10명의 인터뷰 면접자와 포거크그룹 패널은 뉴욕 이타카에 거주하는 56세에서 64세의 여성으로 구성되었다. 라이프스타일 및 연령에 따른 의생활 질문으로 자극을 한 후, 2개의 스마트 의류견본과 더불어 주제에 따른 토론과 분석을 하도록 하였다. 또한 보다 다양한 수준에서 비교를 위해 이타카 지역 밖에 거주하는 타켓 연령대에 근접하는 3명에 대한 개인 인터뷰도 진행되었다. 본 연구의 결과에서 노년 여성들의 스마트 의류에 대한 필요성은 확연하게 나타났다. 즉, 노화에 따른 시력저하 및 체온조절을 위한 디바이스가 요구되었으며, 의생활에서는 체형변화를 감안한 피트성이 높은 미적 디자인을 요구하였다. 그러나, 이러한 기능성 디바이스들은 반드시 신중하게 구성되고 수행되어져야 할 것으로 나타났다. 성공적인 디자인으로 개발만 된다면 스마트 의류는 노년 여성의 자율성 증진을 이상적으로 야기할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 서울과 경기도에 소재하고 있는 경호경비회사 경호원 50명을 대상으로 목적적 표집을 하여 질적연구 방법인 심층면담을 실시하였으며, 경호원들의 스트레스에 대한 면담자료를 귀납적 내용분석(inductive content analysis)을 하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 개인적 문제에 의한 스트레스요인 신체조건 불만요인 중 타경호원과 비교 시 체력의 열세로 인한 부정적 생각이 매우 높게 나타났으며, 학력 및 전공불만요인에서도 경호전공자가 아니기 때문에 동료직원이나 상사로부터 느끼는 부조화로 인한 불안감 등으로 정신적 스트레스가 노출되어 있음이 나타났다. 2. 인간관계 문제에 의한 스트레스요인 업무지시에 대한 부정적 생각과 장래문제로 타 직종으로 전직을 하고 싶다는 희망자가 높게 나타났으며, 친구문제에서는 근무조건이 친구들과 맞지 않아 자주 어울리지 못하는 경우와 그로 인한 애인과의 잦은 다툼과 헤어짐으로 마음의 상처를 받는 것으로 나타났다. 3. 가정생활 문제에 의한 스트레스요인 적은 급여에 대한 배후자의 불만으로 대부분의 경호원들이 스트레스를 받고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 경호원을 대상으로 스트레스를 연구한 선행연구에서 보고 되지 않았던 성문제가 스트레스의 근원으로 나타났다는 것에 주목을 끌고 있다. 경호원들이 만족한 부부관계가 안될시 스트레스를 받는다고 답하고 있고, $20{\sim}30$대 경호원들이 24시간 근무로 인한 야간근무를 할 시 배후자를 의심하는 초기 의처증 증세까지 경험한 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this research was conducted to formative processes and to interpret premarital adult's sexuality meaning. The interviews have been executed based upon ethnography approach and method of interview in depth within the framework of the Weis's sexual script theory (1998) and parent-children relation. The interview in depth has been conducted with unmarried 7 males and 8 females inclusive of college students, total 15 persons who were born 1974-1980 and living in Seoul and nearby suburban areas. A period of interviews were carried out from September until December 2003. Each interview was executed for 2 to 4 hours apiece, and each person had 2 to 4 interviews during the period. The result of analysis of the sexuality scripts theory from three different views indicates that the female informants appeared to rationalize the fact that traditional concept of the chastity as defined by the socio-cultural level has been changed. It also indicated that there were very few sex educations in the society at large except for the public medias including the Internet. The interrelation level indicates that positive interaction with the opposite sex has affected them in the course of their building up desirable personal relationship in the society and uplifting their sense of self-esteem. The internal level of sexuality, it is much dependent on the extent of individual inner recognition of sexuality. The parent-children relation view of sexuality, the most influential factor for their communication on sexuality lies in the extent of their realization on how positively their parents recognize their children.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify health promotion behavior and contraception in married immigrant women. Method: Seventy-three immigrant women who were married with Korean men were recruited in October 2008. Data was collected by using questionnaires through a personal interview. The collected data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, t-test, and ANOVA. Result: The lowest scoring part among health promotion behaviors was exercise. Stress management, eating habits and personal relationships followed. Health promotion behaviors were influenced by the age at marriage, frequency of going out, and health education experiences. Only 35.6% of subjects used contraception. The popular contraceptive methods were IUD, condom, and coitus interruptus. Most subjects got information about contraception from family and friends. 18.1% of subjects had no source of information. The women's education level had a significant influence on their contraceptive knowledge. Conclusion: Programs for exercise and contraception are needed to improve health promotion behaviors in married immigrant women. Nurses are an important part in health promotion. The role of nurses must be expanded in all communities through various intervention programs.
