The purpose of this study was to examine the level of anxiety about economic change in middle-aged and elderly people and to analyze the factors that influence this anxiety. The data, derived from Korean General Social Survey(KGSS) were collected from Survey Research Center of Sung Kyun Kwan University. The samples included 821 people over the age of 40, including 529 middle-aged people who were from 40 to 59, and elderly people who were over 60. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the research model. The findings from the analysis showed that age and subjective economic status had crucial effects on the entire group's anxiety about unemployment and poverty, housing prices, financial markets, and economic recession in the older life. For the middle-aged group, age in particular had crucial effects on all the components of its anxiety about economic change. For the elderly group, geographical region was the most critical factor that affected its anxiety about economic change, the elderly people who were living in metropolitan area and towns had more anxiety than those who were living in rural areas. In particular, region was the only factor that affected the elderly group's anxiety about financial markets, and economic recession. These results showed that specific age of middle-aged and elderly people had the crucial effects while their sex, educational level, and the employment status of their spouse had no effects on their anxiety about economic change. Objective economic indices such as their earned-income and other income including savings and pensions had no effects on their anxiety level. While as noted above subjective economic indices such as their standard of living compared with their parents, projected economic status, and level of socio-economic success had an effect on anxiety about economic change.

본 연구의 목적은 인터넷 건강정보검색에서 4-50대 중년층의 건강정보 이용경험을 분석하고 건강관심도와 건강정보추구도가 정보향기를 감지하는 데 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 파악하는 것이다. 이를 위해 정보채집이론을 바탕으로 설문조사, 실험관찰, 면담조사를 진행하여 이용자의 건강정보 이용경험과 정보검색행동을 분석하였다. 연구결과, 이용자가 오프라인을 통한 정보획득에 익숙할수록 인터넷 건강정보 검색주기가 길었으며 가장 많이 검색하는 정보는 질병진단 및 관리를 위한 건강지식으로 나타났다. 중년층의 건강관심도와 건강정보추구도는 건강정보검색에서 정보향기를 감지하는데 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인하였고 건강관심도나 건강정보추구도가 높은 참가자는 텍스트 유형의 비영리, 공공기관의 정보원과 텍스트와 맥락이 맞는 다양한 이미지를 중요한 정보단서로 판단하였다. 또한, 건강관심도나 건강정보추구도에 상관없이 정보게시날짜는 중요 정보단서인 것으로 파악되었다. 본 연구결과는 건강정보 활용교육을 시행하는 도서관이나 평생교육원에서 단순한 지식전달보다 이용자의 건강관심도와 건강정보추구도를 증대시킬 수 있는 프로그램을 구성하는데 기여할 수 있다. 또한 포털사이트나 건강관련 기관 웹사이트 담당자들은 중년층 이용자들의 건강관심도와 건강정보추구도에 따라 건강정보에 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 전략을 구축하는데 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.
