This study examined the factors affecting the preference for the elderly's mental health services utilization in rural areas. A behavior model developed by Andersen and Newman provided an analytical framework to determine the factors affecting service utilization preferences among 335 elderly people as research subjects. The authors found that the preferences for mental health service utilization were significantly related to the level of education, living alone, presence of grandchildren, participation in social activities, and recognition about the services. Based on the findings, this study suggests that more mental health services for the elderly in rural areas be further developed and strengthened. Also, the elderly who lives alone and lives with grandchildren should have a priority in policy consideration. Multiple approaches are suggested to increase the awareness of mental health services and participation social activities for those older people.

This study was carried out to establish an effective marketing strategy based on Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) of rice-convenience foods. IPA is one of the most efficient and simple methods to evaluate product quality. Data were collected from 652 people (320 males and 332 females) and analyzed by SPSS 19.0. Subjects consumed rice-convenience foods as a snack substitute (19.3%), breakfast (20.7%), lunch (37.4%), dinner (15.2%), and late-night meal (7.4%). The purpose for consumption of rice-convenience foods were as follows: light meal (34.8%), lack of time to prepare meal (42.2%), favorite restaurant is not nearby (2.3%), save money (3.4%), and outdoor activities (9.7%). All attributes about rice-convenience foods were categorized into intrinsic property and extrinsic property. As a result of factor analysis, health, sensibility, and diversity factors were extracted from intrinsic property. In addition, dependence and appearance factors were drawn from extrinsic property. In analyzing the differences between importance and performance, there were significant differences; 16 items in the intrinsic property (P<0.01), and 10 items in the extrinsic property (P<0.001). The IPA matrix is composed of four quadrants, and each represents different strategies; the first, 'keep up the good work', the second, 'possible overkill', the third, 'low priority for management', and the fourth, 'concentrate management'. As a result, factors of rice-convenience foods positioned in the fourth quadrant were 'safety (from food additives, etc.)' and 'price' in the intrinsic property and 'nutrition label' and 'safety of packaging material' in the extrinsic property. They need to be improved immediately. In this study, rice-convenience food factors for continuous maintenance and concentrative improvement were compared by IPA. Based upon the results of this study, it is necessary to develop methods to make efficient use of limited resources and practical marketing strategies.

The success of social networking sites (SNSs) may depend on many factors. Continuance use of SNSs is one of these. Especially, in the Web environment where users can leave one service with a single mouse click, maintaining existing members cost much time and efforts. Without continuance use of SNSs, SNS-based service would not create any value. This study focused on identifying factors influencing users' continuance intention in SNSs. Based on relevant literature review, six influencing factors were initially identified. They were reputation, relational capital, knowledge quality, compatibility, personalization, and satisfaction. Web-based questionnaire survey was conducted and a total of 325 usable responses were collected. Reliability test and two rounds of exploratory factor analyses resulted in identifying five factors. The relationship between the factors and the continuance intention was tested by using multiple regression analyses. The analyses revealed that satisfaction was the most significant factor. Knowledge quality and relational capital also had significant effects while reputation and personalization did not have significant effect on continuance intention. Instead, reputation and personalization showed significance in influencing satisfaction.

향은 방향성 또는 휘발성 물질에 il해 코의 점막을 통해 흡입되어 여러 감성의 변화와 뇌파등 생체 신호의 변화를 초래하고 또한 풍부한 감성도 유발한다. 특히 기억력에 관련된 원시 감정을 유발하고 생체에서 나오는 phermone(페르몬)은 행동 양식까지 영향을 미친다. 또한 질환치료에도 적용되거나 증상의 경감, 예방효과 등을 보여주는 aromatherapy는 매우 유망한 분야이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 페르몬 향과 aromatherapy에 사용되는 essential oil등을 이용하여 주관적 감성 평가를 실시하고 이를 통계분석하여 이들 여러 종류의 향들의 자극으로 유발되는 감성의 특징을 밝혀내고자 하였다. 둘째로 향의 선호도를 결정하는데 어떠한 감성요인이 작용하는지를 알고자 하였다. 실험에 사용된 향은 26종류이고 총 33명의 지원자가 참여하였다. 설문지는 18문항을 선별하여 4가지 유형으로 작성한 후 유형별로 데이타를 정리하여 베리막스의 요인분석, 회귀분석, 군집분석등을 이용하여 분석하였다. 베리 막스의 요인분석으로 감성 형용사를 비슷한 척도끼리 묶어 .괘한 감성을 결정하는 요인, 자극의 강도를 결정하는 요인, 이외의 다른 고풍스럽거나 현대적인 요인등 3개 요인으로 grouping하였다. 향의 선호도를 결정하는데 중요한 감성척도에서는 피검자 성별에 따라 차이가 있음을 보여주었다. 남성의 경우 황홀하다, 여성적이다인데 반해 여성인 경우 재적하다, 친숙하다라는 감성 척도가 중요하게 작용하였다. 또한 각 향별로 군집 분류하여 향의 종류를 구분할 수 있었으며 또한 각 향별 선호도를 결정하는 감성 척도도 구해 보았다. 또한 향의 분류에 따른 감성 척도의 특징을 성별로 관찰한 결과 페르몬 향인 경우 essential oil과 달리 성별의 차이가 나타났다. 결론적으로 후각을 자극하는 향물질로 유발된 감성 측정을 해 본 결과 성별에 따라 선호도를 결정하는 감성요인의 차이를 알 수 있었으며 또한 essential oil에서는 성별 차이가 없는데 반해 페르몬 향의 경우 성별의 차이를 나타내었다.
