  • The objective of this study was to investigate differences in clothing behavior and individual characteristics of female college students by their body cathexis and clothing attitude. The college students selected by random sampling were classified into four groups by their body cathexis and clothing attitude: positive congruity(positive body cathexis and clothing attitude, G1), positive incongruity(negative body cathexis and positive clothing attitude, G2), negative congruity(negative body cathexis and clothing attitude, G3), negative incongruity(positive body cathexis and negative clothing attitude, G4). The results were as follows: G1 was high in both public and personal self-esteem and self-image, extroverted, refined and impulsive. G2 were fashion opinion leaders, highly uneasy about society, highly impulsive, modem, peculiar, creative and introspective. G3 was highly uneasy about society, low in self-esteem, and less impulsive. G4 was low in both public self-esteem and fashion innovation, and avoided impulsive buying.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how consumers perceive electric vehicles and factors that affect attitude, satisfaction, and intention to use electric vehicles and to explore policy issues regarding climate change and global environment. By classifying actual and potential users, this study developed the following research questions: i) factors including economic feasibility, sociality, environmental sustainability, inefficiency, inconvenience, convenience, and uncertainty affect attitude to electric vehicles; ii) attitude to electric vehicles affects actual consumers' satisfaction; and iii) attitude to electric vehicles affects potential users' intention to use. Research design, data and methodology: This study conducted an online survey and applied factor and regression analyses and ANOVA to test hypotheses. Results: The results of this study found that economic feasibility and convenience factors significantly affect attitude in both cases of actual and potential users. How actual users perceive efficiency of electric vehicles negatively and uncertain issues such as battery technology affect attitude to electric vehicles. Conclusions: This study provides policy implications that foster promotional policies for the adoption of electric vehicles for environment and regulate negative aspects. This study also provides managerial implications for manufacturers to develop better technology competences to enhance reliability on electric vehicles.

  • Purpose: In the era of sustainable development, the role of consumers and businesses has become increasingly important by demonstrating the importance of social and environmental issues. Accordingly, firms widely adopt cause-related marketing to fulfil corporate social responsibility. The purpose of this study is to examine factors that affect consumer attitude toward cause-related marketing with perspectives of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and instrumental conditioning. Research design, data and methodology: Proposed research questions include effects of cognition, emotion, sustainability, and business ethics on attitude, effects of attitude on purchase intention, and effects of intention on satisfaction. This study collected the data via an online survey and applied factor and regression analysis. Results: Findings indicated that factors affect attitudes differently in cases of cause-related marketing with SDGs and instrumental conditioning. The results of this study found that business ethics affects consumer attitude and differ based on types of cause-related marketing. This study found that attitude positively affects purchase intention that also affects expected satisfaction. Conclusions: By applying perspectives of SDGs, findings of this study provide implications to producers, marketers, and policymakers to promote and achieve sustainability. In particular, the results found that business ethics should be more addressed to fulfill customer attitude.

  • This study was attempted to understand the relationship between disaster awareness, disaster attitude, and disaster response ability of the general public, and to be used as basic data to raise awareness of disasters and prepare countermeasures. This study was conducted from July 16 to July 31, 2021 for a total of 250 ordinary people living in K-do and D metropolitan cities. As a result of this study, it was found that it had an effect between disaster awareness, disaster attitude, and disaster response ability. Specifically, it was found that the general public's awareness of disaster had a significant effect on disaster attitude (necessity for disaster preparation, disaster management) (p<.001). In addition, among the sub-factors of disaster attitude, disaster management was found to have a significant effect on disaster response ability (p< .01). Therefore, specific and periodic education should be prepared to increase the ability to cope with disasters by increasing the general public's awareness of disasters.

  • Background : Public hospitals suffer worsening shortage of physicians and face great pressure of recruiting doctors. This study is aim to identify the factors associated with retention of physicians who are working in public hospitals. Methods : We conducted a cross-sectional and self-administered questionnaire survey in July, 2011. A total of 333 physicians responded from the 31 public hospitals. We analyzed the difference of job retention across the variables among doctors stratified as salaried and public health doctors. We used chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis. Results : To the salaried doctor, longer work period(OR=2.04 in 3rd quartile), professional autonomy(OR=2.69), and positive attitude toward public health(OR=2.39) affect to the higher job retention whereas complain of low income(OR=0.33) and complain of poor clinical environment(OR=0.26) affects to the lower job retention. To the public health doctors, community connections such as hometown(OR=6.27), spouse factors(OR=3.49), and positive attitude toward public health(OR=3.19) affect to the higher job retention. But longer work period(OR=0.17 in 3rd quartile) affects to the lower job retention. Conclusions : Associated factors of job retention vary across physician's status. Professional autonomy has major impact on the job retention to the salaried doctor. And familial factors as well as community relationship have greatest impact to the public health doctor. Positive attitude toward public health is associated with the higher job retention to the both of salaried and public health doctors.

  • Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate death attitude, death anxiety, and knowledge toward advance directives of nursing students. Method: Participants were 157 nursing undergraduates in Korea. The students responded to a self-reporting questionnaire that included demographics, Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R), Revised Death Anxiety Scale (RDAS), and knowledge toward advance directives. The data collection period was December, 9-13, 2019. Data were analyzed by descriptive test, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient with SPSS/WIN 23.0. Results: The mean scores for death attitude, death anxiety, and knowledge toward advance directives were 2.70±0.58, 2.45±0.49, and 7.94±2.04, respectively. Knowledge toward advance directives was significantly different according to age, grade, and experience of end-of-life care education. Death attitude was significantly associated with death anxiety (r=. 27, p<.001). Conclusion: Knowledge toward advance directive was relatively low compared to the findings of previous studies. Therefore, nursing colleges need to include legal and institutional aspects when writing written letters on advance directive, death attitude, and ethical approaches to death anxiety.
