Purpose: This study was conducted to explore sexual attitude, sexual behavior and the related factors in chinese-Korean university students. Method: A self-administered questionnaire with cross-sectional design was used. Participants were 271 Chinese undergraduate students in one university in Jilin, China. Correlation coefficiency and t-test were used to find the relationships and to compare sexual attitude and sexual behavior and related factors. Result: Although sexual attitude of participants was moderate, they were more likely to be engaged in sexual behavior. The strong relationship between sexual attitude and sexual behavior suggested that those who have a permissive sexual attitude were more likely to have engaged in sexual behavior. The participants who responded that their parents have a less permissive attitude about sexual activity were less likely to be engaged in sexual behavior. There were significant relationships between sexual behavior and other variables, such as dating, experience of sexual activity, smoking and grades. Conclusion: Students who have a higher score of sexual attitude and had an experience of sexual activity were more likely to be at higher risk of being sexually.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of subjective norms on customers' intention to engage in voice of dissatisfaction responses, the effect of subjective norms on attitude, and the mediating effect of attitude on the relationships between subjective norms and customers' intention to engage in voice of dissatisfaction responses. The simple regression analysis is used in order to estimate the effects of subjective norms on customers' intention to engage in voice of dissatisfaction responses and attitude. The mediated regression analysis is used in order to estimate the mediating role of attitude of the effect of subjective norms on customers' intention to engage in voice of dissatisfaction responses. Results of the study demonstrated that the inclusion of perceived behavioral control did significantly improve the predictability of the voice of dissatisfaction response intentions. Furthermore, the mediating analysis indicated that the influence of subjective norms was mediated by mediator. In the contests of voice behavior, the effect of subjective norms on intention was mediated by attitude.

This study aims to analyze and compare environmental attitudes of interest groups, including visitors, local residents, Buddhist monks, and staff of the Korea National Park Service in Gayasan National Park. To achieve this purpose, five hypotheses were formulated and tested. While three hypotheses were statistically rejected, two were accepted. In every interest group, the environmental attitude level of women was higher than that of men. Local residents particularly showed statistically significant differences in accordance with occupation. The difference in environmental attitude between visitors and local residents was not statistically significant. Finally, the environmental attitude level between interest groups was divided into three groups. The staff of the Korea National Park Service showed the highest level of environmental attitude, followed by Buddhist monks, and a group of visitors and residents recorded the lowest. However, the average level of environmental attitude of every interest group scored above the mid-point of 3. Therefore, it can be concluded that there exists no difference between or conflicts among interest groups related to strengthening conservation and management policies regarding the protection of Gayasan National Park.
