  • This study compared household's investment behaviors over consumer's ages before and after the economic crisis using 1995 and 2000 National Survey of Family Income and Expenditure in korea. Household's investment behaviors were compared in terms of household's financial statements, amounts and proportions invested in various assets, and rate of return on investments. The proportion invested in securities of all households. In terms of the proportion invested, consumers under 40s increased the proportion invested in insurance while consumers over 50s increased the proportion invested in savings and trusts in 1995 than in 2000. Consumers of all ages increased the proportion invested in securities in 2000 than in 1995. Young households had higher rate of return in 1995 while old households had higher rate of return in 2000.

  • In rock, there are many microsopic structures which influence the mechnical behavior of rock. Many microstructures interact with each other, and furthermore, material constants vary discontinuously within rock, as most rocks are composed of several minerals. Taking into account this feature, it may be possible to contemplate a microstructure of rock as a unit cell by which the rock is constituted periodically. If this idealization is acceptable, the homogenization method can be applied. In this research, various microcracks on rock specimens were observed through a stereoscopic microscope under uniaxial compression. On the other hand, local stress distribution in the periodic-micro structure was calculated by the homogenization method. Then it is shown that there is a possibility to establish a relation between the behavior of microcrack and macroscopic load quantitatively by the linear fracture mechanics.

  • There has been a strong demand on more economic and lower depth girder bridges for short and medium span range, PRECOM, which is a new type steel-concrete composite girder, has been developed to realize a more economic bridge system with a lower depth girder. In the PRECOM girder bridge, a steel plate girder is simply supported and then concrete form is hung to girder. Thus, the self-weight of the concrete is loaded to the steel girder. To increase the resistance of concrete in the lower casing against tensile stress, compressive force is introduced by prestressed tendon To evaluate the manufacturability and performances of the completed bridge, four 15-m girders and a bridge specimen with two 20m girders wvere constructed. The camber during the construction and introduction of an appropriate compressive force was evaluated. Dynamic data were obtained through the modal testing of the completed girders. Static loading test was also conducted to examine cracks and evaluate the decrease in stiffness and failure behavior under extreme conditions.

  • The purposes of this study were to determine what kinds of food university students had, how often they were eating out and how much they consumed. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 597 university students (male $40.9\%$, female : $51.9\%$). The students who spent under 200 thousand won per month had regular meals at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The students with personal monthly spending over 300 thousand won, both male and female, ate out more than others. The female students had more protein foods than the male students. Consumption of milk and milk products increased with rising monthly spending for female students. Regardless of monthly spending, the male students ate seaweeds low in 1-2 time per a week. Consumption of rice decreased with rising monthly spending for male and female students.

Analysis methods were used to frequency, percentage, t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression of SPSS program. The results are as follows ; 1) Male students are more aggressive than female students. 2) The more verbal aggression is the more physical aggression. 3) Students with the experience of parent-child violence are more aggressive. 4) Students with observation of parents's violence are more aggressive. 5) Family's social economic status is not related to the aggressive behavior. 6) Male students not admitted by teacher are more aggressive in verbal and physical behavior. 7) Female students not admitted by friend are more aggressive in verbal and physical behavior. 8) Students with deliquent friends are more aggressive in verbal and physical behavior. 9) Students with Academic anxiety are more aggressive in verbal behavior. 10) the variables influential to verbal aggressive behavior are sex, a delinquent friends and academic anaxiety. These factors explain 23.5% of the total variance of verbal aggressive behavior variables. The variables influential to physical aggressive behavior are a delinquent friends, sex, experience of parent-child violence and teacher's denial attitude. These factors explain 29.6% of the total variance for physical aggressive behavior variables.

  • Purpose The purpose of this study is to deduct the factors for explaining the economic behavior of an Internet user who provides personal information notwithstanding the concern about an invasion of privacy based on the Information Privacy Calculus Theory and Communication Privacy Management Theory. Design/methodology/approach This study made a design of the research model by integrating the factors deducted from the computation theory of information privacy with the factors deducted from the management theory of communication privacy on the basis of the Dual-Process Theory. In addition, this study, did empirical analysis of the path difference between groups by dividing Internet users into a group having experience in personal information spill and another group having no experience. Findings According to the empirical analysis result, this study confirmed that the Privacy Concern about forms through the Perceived Privacy Risk derived from the Disposition to value Privacy.

  • This study examines the impact of consumer ethics on the CSR motive attributions and, the subsequent consumer perception of the firm's ethicality. Data of 512 adults were collected nationwide using a self-administered questionnaire online. Exploratory and confirmative factor analysis were employed to identify six underlying dimensions of consumer ethics, as follows: actively benefiting from illegal actions, passively benefiting from illegal actions, no harm/no foul, economic benefiting from illegal actions, intellectual property infringement, and pro-environmental behavior. In order to examine the relationships between consumer ethics, CSR motive attribution, and consumer perceived ethicality, a structural equation modeling test was conducted. The results demonstrated that actively benefiting from illegal actions, economic benefiting from illegal action, and pro-environmental behavior had impacts on CSR motive attributions such as strategy-driven attribution, value-driven attribution, and stakeholder-driven attribution. Consequently, strategy-driven attribution and value-driven attribution influenced the consumer perception of the firm's ethicality, whereas stakeholder-driven attribution did not. This study provides an understanding of the CSR attribution mechanism from the view of consumer ethics that are multi-dimensional. The ethical judgements on different types of consumer behavior lead to attributions of CSR motives and subsequently their perception of a firm's ethicality.

Among consumer groups, there were significant differences in demographic characteristics according to age, occupation of the subjects. 3. Among consumer groups, there were significant differences in conspicuous consumptions according to factors such as brand intention, status symbol intention. 4. Among consumer groups, there were significant differences in clothing purchase behavior according to use of information sources. Regardless of clothing shopping motives, consumer preferred department stores in purchasing formal dress, and preferred haberdashery.bonded store in purchasing casual wear.
