The purpose of this study is to identify consumers' needs and purchase intention of high-functional sportswear according to sports participation motivations. Internet survey was done for data collection and the subjects were 300 consumers in their 20-39's who participated in sport activities at least once a week. Factors of sport participation motivations were ostentation, social interaction, self development, mental health, and physical health. Consumers were segmented into the motivation retard group, the multi-purpose pursuit group, the health pursuit group, and the extrinsic motivation pursuit group. And factors of consumers' needs for high-functional sportswear were practicality and comfort function, body protection and physical function, and skin protection and health function. The multi-purpose pursuit group showed strong needs for active and comfort, body protection and physical function, and skin protection and health function but the motivation retard group showed the lowest needs for high functional sportswear. Purchase experiences of high-functional sportswear, accomplishment, and duration period of sport activity affected positively on the purchase intention of high-functional sportswear.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Despite successes recorded in combating iodine deficiency, more than 2 billion people are still at risk of iodine deficiency disorders. Rural landlocked and mountainous areas of developing countries are the hardest hit, hence the need to explore and advance novel strategies such as biofortification. SUBJECTS/METHODS: We evaluated adoption, purchase, and consumption of iodine biofortified vegetable legumes (IBVL) using the theory of protection motivations (PMT) integrated with an economic valuation technique. A total of 1,200 participants from three land-locked locations in East Africa were recruited via multi-stage cluster sampling, and data were collected using two, slightly distinct, questionnaires incorporating PMT constructs. The survey also elicited preferences for iodine biofortified foods when offered at a premium or discount. Determinants of protection motivations and preferences for iodine biofortified foods were assessed using path analysis modelling and two-limit Tobit regression, respectively. RESULTS: Knowledge of iodine, iodine-health link, salt iodization, and biofortification was very low, albeit lower at the household level. Iodine and biofortification were not recognized as nutrient and novel approaches, respectively. On the other hand, severity, fear, occupation, knowledge, iodine status, household composition, and self-efficacy predicted the intention to consume biofortified foods at the household level; only vulnerability, self-efficacy, and location were the most crucial elements at the school level. In addition, results demonstrated a positive willingness-to-pay a premium or acceptance of a lesser discount for biofortification. Furthermore, preference towards iodine biofortified foods was a function of protection motivations, severity, vulnerability, fear, response efficacy, response cost, knowledge, iodine status, gender, age. and household head. CONCLUSIONS: Results lend support for prevention of iodine deficiency in unprotected populations through biofortification; however 'threat' appraisal and socio-economic predictors are decisive in designing nutrition interventions and stimulating uptake of biofortification. In principle, the contribution is threefold: 1) Successful application of the integrated model to guide policy formulation; 2) Offer guidance to stakeholders to identify and tap niche markets; 3) stimulation of rural economic growth around school feeding programmes.

While many surveys show very positive attitudes on the part of consumers towards eco-friendly products, the market share actually reflecting green IT purchases remains low in most countries. The motivations behind green IT purchase behavior are still obscure. Several studies have addressed the question of green IT diffusion from economic and normative viewpoints in an attempt to interpret IT adoption behavior. This study comes at the question from a different angle, namely negative frame, examining threat and coping behaviors using the Ordered Protection Motivation (OPM) model and threat appraisal theory. The results show that attitudes toward fairness and positive change, which are precedents of threat appraisal, play an important role in determining threat appraisal. Perceived threats in the green IT arena include habit change and ecological change. Appraisal for coping with these threats directly affects initial adoption behaviors regarding available green IT, and then indirectly encourages the purchase of new green IT products.

Cloud computing is widely used in information spreading and processing, which has provided a easy and quick way for users to access data and retrieve service. Generally, in order to prevent the leakage of the information, the data in cloud is transferred in the encrypted form. As one of the traditional security technologies, access control is an important part for cloud security. However, the current access control schemes are not suitable for cloud, thus, it is a vital problem to design an access control scheme which should take account of complex factors to satisfy the various requirements for cipher text protection. We present a novel access control scheme based on proxy re-encryption(PRE) technology (PreBAC) for cipher text. It will suitable for the protection of data confidently and information privacy. At first, We will give the motivations and related works, and then specify system model for our scheme. Secondly, the algorithms are given and security of our scheme is proved. Finally, the comparisons between other schemes are made to show the advantages of PreBAC.

This study classifies black fashion-mania by each type based on their motivation for wearing black fashion as well as verifies how they express their style. To achieve the objectives of this study, the research questions are as follows. First, the images of black fashion-manias are classified. Second, each type of black fashion enthusiasts' motivations for wearing black fashion are verified. Last, black fashion-mania style are analyzed according to image types. In order to answer the research questions, a literature review and in-depth interviews (total 30 respondents (male 15, female 15) were executed. As a result, black fashion-manias use black fashion for self protection, their self-images such as charismatic professional image, modern sophisticated image, body-conscious sexy image, avant garde image which is an anti-fashion norm and unique image. The strong reason why black fashion-manias insist on black fashion is to 'look cooler'. The expressions could be articulated from sophisticated styling techniques that appear to be undecorated rather than an overt decorated styling. It is helpful information to plan black fashion products and to establish a design direction that requires an understanding of why black fashion is pursued, while promoting an understanding of groups of black fashion-mania.

최근들어 지구온난화, 에너지고갈과 같은 환경문제가 사회에 영향을 주면서 환경오염에 대한 관심이 확대되고 있다. 환경문제해결을 위해선 사회 구성원의 인식과 실천이 필요한데 실제생활에서 환경보호를 실천하는 사람들의 참여는 미흡한 것으로 나타나고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 현재 주목되고 있는 게이미피케이션의 메커니즘이 다수의 참여가 필요한 환경분야에 주요한 역할이 될 수 있음을 제안하고 국내 외 대표적인 콘텐츠의 사례분석을 토대로 공익의 목적을 가진 콘텐츠 개발에 필요한 개발 방향성을 제시하는데 있다. 이를 위해 게이미피케이션과 관련된 개념 및 특성을 정리한 뒤 게이미피케이션 메커니즘 사례에 적용된 요인들을 사례분석 하였다. 연구결과는 메커니즘의 도전과 성취요소가 이용자의 동기를 만족시키고, 가상공간 및 선물과 자기표현요소는 타인과의 소통으로 유대감을 형성하여 네트워크를 확대시키는 역할을 하였다. 기부와 이타심요소는 공감의 심리를 작용시켜 윤리적인 소비를 지향하는 능동적인 소비문화를 만들어 다수의 참여를 향상시켜주었는데 사례분석을 통해 환경분야 게이미피케이션의 잠재적인 활용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

최근 스타의 '선한 영향력(PI, Positive Influence)'이 사회적 관심사로 부각되었으나 연구 선례의 결여로 PI의 개념 정의, 구현행동 범위에 관한 인식 혼란이 나타나고 있다. 이 점에 착안해 본 연구에서는 관련된 학술이론 체계화의 논의 토대 마련을 위해 연관 보도가 본격화한 2019년 1월부터 2020년 3월까지 15개월 치 기사를 내용 분석하였다. 기사에 언급된 엔터테이너들의 발언 분석 결과, 이들은 에게망과 싱어(Agyemang & Singer, 2013)의 연구 결과처럼 'PI'란 명목으로 선행을 하면서도 그 개념에 대해 명쾌하게 인식하지 못했다. 선행 동기는 사례의 빈도순에 따라 '고충 공감', '팬덤 보답', '동참 촉구', '인연 중시', '체험 천착', '기억 환기'의 6개 유형으로 분류되었다. PI의 구체적 발현 행태는 금품 기부(54.4%), 사회적 의제 참여(14.0%), 자원봉사(13.2%), 캠페인 참여(11.4%), 기타 선행 활동(4.0%), 자선적 작품 활동(3.0%) 순으로 집계되었다. 세부 직군별 분석에서도 금품 기부에 대한 집중이 뚜렷했다. 엔터테이너가 보유한 영향력을 활용한다면 큰 효과를 발휘할 것으로 기대되는 인권 감수성, 환경 보호, 자기관리 분야 등에 관한 활동은 극히 미약했다. 연구 결과는 PI에 대해 학제 통합적 개념 확립을 요구한다. 이어 엔터테이너와 그들의 소속사들은 배우, 가수, 개그맨 등 직군별 특성을 살리고 영역의 다양성을 확대하는 방향으로 PI 이벤트가 진화하도록 보다 접근을 전략화 하여야 한다는 점을 암시한다.
