The purpose of this study is to find the differences in fair trade practice behavior, according to socio-demographic variables and to analyze the effects of psycho-social variables on fair trade practice behavior. This study includes the psycho-social variables as materialism, altruism, ethical identity, and perceived consumer effectiveness. The results of this study are as follows. First, the mean score of consumers' fair trade practice behavior was 4.12 on a 7-point scale, which means that respondents performed fair trade practice behavior at the middle level. Second, in terms of socio-demographic variables, there was a significant difference only in an age. Third, fair trade practice behavior had positive correlations with each of altruism, ethical identity, and perceived consumer effectiveness. Finally, regression analyses showed that altruism, ethical identity, and perceived consumer effectiveness had positive effects on fair trade practice behavior, whereas materialism had a negative effect on fair trade practice behavior.

공정무역은 공정한 거래, 인권, 환경을 배려하는 무역의 형태로 최근 전 세계적으로 공정무역의 중요성이 강조되고 시장이 성장하고 있다. 우리나라는 젊은 소비자를 중심으로 공정무역 시장이 확장되고 있다. 이에 미래 소비의 주체인 대학생 소비자들의 공정무역 소비역량 특성 및 관여도, 윤리의식에 따른 유형화를 시도하고, 공정무역 상품 구매에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 대학생 소비자는 일반형, 무관심형, 개인주의형, 공정무역실천형의 네 가지 유형으로 구분되었다. 그리고 공정무역 상품의 구매경험에 직접적 영향을 미치는 요인은 공정무역 관련 지식, 실천의지, 관심도로 나타났다. 결국 체계적인 교육을 통하여 공정무역 및 윤리적 소비에 대한 교육을 실시하고, 학교 외에서는 언론 및 다양한 콘텐츠를 통해 대학생들이 공정무역에 대한 지식과 관심을 증진할 수 있는 사회적 노력이 수반되어야 한다. 그리고 공정무역 시장 활성화를 위해서는 상품으로 시장 가치 확보를 위한 품질의 개선 및 소비자의 가격수용도 증진 방안 모색이 필요할 것이다.

Nowadays, ethical consumers are increasing and they consider social values such as worker's human rights, environment and animal's welfare as key criteria in purchasing products. This study focused on the academic and practical research of ethical consumption, in which the needs and interests are now growing globally. This study addressed the concept, trend and practices of ethical consumption as well as seeking methods to support and promote ethical consumption. It examined the concept and types of ethical consumption from the perspective of the philosophy on ethical consumption. Ethical consumption was defined as a behavior that intended to improve the environment and the welfare of people and animals by purchasing products produced according to sound ethical principles and avoiding products that are made through the exploitation or the damage of people, animals and the environment. It also dealt with the practices of ethical consumption such as the fair trade movement, Clean Clothes Campaign, boycott, local food movement, animal's welfare movement. In conclusion, I suggested that consumers, companies, governments, and NGOs should make an effort to promote ethical consumption.
