Economists have identified informed consumer choice as one element of a better-functioning health care market, and thus increased attention is directed to the role of information in the health care system. In this country, however, little work has been done for understanding consumers' search behavior in health care market. Based upon this observation, expectant mothers' information search for the choice of delivery care institution was investigated. In doing so, two hypotheses were proposed: 1) Those women who were more active in the search for information would make choice of a delivery care institution with more confidence and would feel greater subsequent satisfaction. 2) The activeness of expectant mothers in information search would depend upon their various personal characteristics, such as socio-economic status, obstetric conditions, and knowledge and attitudes in relation to delivery and health care. The data used for the analysis were collected through face-to-face interviews with those women who had childbirth during the period from January 1, 1996 to the date of interview in February 1998. The survey was conducted using prepared structured questionnaire in Seoul. The sample was drawn from each of arbitrarily defined four regions of Seoul, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast and Southwest, in proportion to the number of births reported in 1996 in each of them. The distribution of the interviewed women by educational level was made similar to that of mothers of new babies reported in 1996. The sample size was planned to be about 300, but ended up with 319. The results of analysis were generally consistent with the proposed hypotheses. Apparently, information increased expectant mothers' confidence in selecting a delivery care institution and subsequent satisfaction with the institution. Indication is that policy efforts should be strengthened to produce and disseminate relevant, comprehensible and credible information that can aid patient decision making. Also, attention should be directed to motivate patients to actively engage in information search from adequate sources.

본 연구는 주택선택 속성과 정부정책이 주택 구매행동에 미치는 영향력을 통해서 주택시장에 대한 이해를 돕고자 한다. 이를 위한 분석의 주요 쟁점은 다양한 유형의 주택선택 속성과 정부정책간에 부동산 투자전망의 조절효과를 고려하는 것이다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 주택선택 속성 중 편의성, 교육입지, 이웃수준은 주택구매의도에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 정부정책은 주택구매의도에 유의미한 영향력이 없었다. 셋째, 부동산 투자전망의 조절효과는 선택속성 중 이웃수준과 상호작용 변수가 주택구매의도에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과 정부의 금융정책은 주택구매 의사결정에 영향을 미치지 않음으로서, 현실적으로 과도한 규제는 처음 주택 구매자에게 주거복지의 질을 떨어뜨릴 수 있다. 또한 소비자 선호도의 동기에 대한 이해를 통해서 주택시장에서의 실제 수요 변화를 적절히 기술하고 설명 할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the difference in bakery choice attributes according to consumers' general characteristics and purchasing behavior. Among 350 questionnaires distributed to bakery consumers, 277 complete questionnaires (79.1%) were analyzed. Bakery choice attributes were classified into five factors: "environment and image", "bakery product features", "location", "employee service", and "price and sales promotion"; the mean scores of these factors' importance levels were 3.59, 3.58, 3.49, 3.36, and 3.00, respectively. Males considered 'employee service' factor significantly more than did females. Further, the importance level of 'employee service' factor was significantly greater as consumer's age increased. The importance levels of 'bakery product features' and 'employee service' factors were considered significantly more by consumers who spent KRW10,000-15,000 than those who spent KRW5,000 or less. 'Price and sales promotion' was considered to be more important by consumers who obtained information from the Internet than from the TV and radio. 'Location' factor was considered to be more significant as purchasing frequency increased. Such differences in importance level of bakery choice attributes according to consumers' gender, age, job, and purchasing behavior should be considered and applied to the development of marketing strategies targeted at consumers.

The purpose of this article Is to review the problems in using Hazan & Shaver,s adult attachment inventory as spousal attachment inventory. In summary, Hazan & Shaver's forced-choice inventory is required to caution in using for spouse attachment inventory because of the disproportionally higher secure-attachment type ratio(72% - 89%). It was previous reseaches that used multi-item Likert inventory instead of Hazan & shaver's forced-choice inventory for result analysis because of disproportionally higher secure-attachment type ratio. Although Hazan & shaver's forced-choice inventory was mostly used for young unmarried adults, Using Hazan & shaver's forced-choice inventory as spouse attachment inventory for married adults seem to be inappropriately. Hazan & Shaver's multi-item Likert inventory has the problem of poor reliability in insecure-avoidence factor especially. Hazan & Shaver's one item Likert inventory has the problem of social desirability.

The purpose of this study is to understand consumer needs through fashion sensibilities on Character T-shirts. This study suggests the basis of planning effective design of Character T-Shirts by categorizing. The results were summarized as follows: 1. Fashion sensibility factors such as aestheticism, visibility, cutesiness, flexibility occupied 57.2% of the total. 2. The types of the Character T-Shirts were classified into four groups. The four types showed significant differences in all fashion sensibility. Aestheticism had its highest and lowest values in types 3 and 4, respectively; visibility in types 4 and 1, respectively; cutesiness in types 2 and 4, respectively; and flexibility in types 2 and 1. respectively. 3. As for the relation of consumer sensibility to fashion sensibilities, impulse related to eight adjectives; buying to nine adjectives; and recommendation to twelve adjectives. Impulse, buying and recommendation related to aestheticism and visibility.4. In the demographical aspect of fashion sensibilities and consumer sensibilities, significant differences found in age, gender, job and academic level.

본 연구에서는 선택모형을 이용하여 소비자패널자료를 분석함에 있어 시간의 흐름에 따라 동적(dynamic)으로 변화하는 소비자내부의 특성 차이를 반영한 특정소비자의 종적인 변화인 소비자동태성을 분석하였다. 선택모형 내에서 소비자동태성은 효용함수에 시변계수(time-varying coefficient)를 도입함으로써 표현될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이를 위해 계층적모형(hierarchical model)과 상태공간모형(state-space model)에 기반하여 Random-Walk 계수를 지니는 이산프로빗모형을 개발하였고, 개발된 모형을 패널자료로부터 추정하기 위하여 Gibbs 표본법을 적용하였다. 모형추정결과 효용함수의 시변계수들에 유의한 소비자동태성이 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다. 소비자동태성이 존재할 경우 이에 효과적으로 대응하기 위해서는 동적시장세분화가 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

This paper applies a prelaunch forecasting model to the Home-Networking (HN) market of South Korea. The HN market of Korea is categorized into two distinctive markets. One HN market consists of new apartments in which builders install HN and the other HN market consists of existing houses in which residents purchase HN Among these markets, this paper focuses on existing houses as capturing consumers' choice. To forecast sales of HN for existing houses, we use a conjoint model based on our survey data of consumer preferences. By incorporating various indicators of HN technologies into our conjoint model, we also forecast diffusion of HN system embodied in PLC or Wireless Lan. We call this model Choice-Based Diffusion Model. In addition, based on the simulation experiments, we also identify important factors that affect the demands of HN system.

As tourist are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious, government and related companies need to establish policies or strategies that encourage ecotourism. The aim of this study is to analyze individual preferences and estimate shadow prices, namely, willingness to pay for coastal wetland ecotourism. This study applies a contingent choice method to measuring marginal WTP for each attribute (tour duration, number of visitors, guide, program) of coastal wetland ecotourism. The finding herein contribute to complementing the valuation methods by estimating various attributes of coastal wetland ecotourism and providing policy-makers with useful methodological framework and quantitative information in the decision-making process related to ecotourism.
