BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study compared the perception of customers from Korea and the U.S. on the attributes of different formats of menu labeling The specific objectives were 1) to compare the customers' perceived usefulness, ease-of-understanding, clarity, and attractiveness of different formats of menu labeling between Korea and the U.S.; and 2) to compare the customers' use intention to different formats of menu labeling between Korea and the U.S. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A survey was conducted in Korea and the U.S. The participants were allocated randomly to view 1 of the 7 restaurant menus that varied according to the following types of menu labeling formats: (type 1) kcal format, (type 2) traffic-light format, (type 3) percent daily intake (%DI) format, (type 4) kcal + traffic-light format, (type 5) kcal + %DI format, (type 6) traffic-light + %DI format, and (type 7) kcal + traffic-light + %DI format. A total of 279 Koreans and 347 Americans were entered in the analysis. An independent t-test and 1-way analysis of variance were performed. RESULTS: Koreans rated type 4 format (kcal + traffic light) the highest for usefulness and attractiveness. In contrast, Americans rated type 7 (kcal + traffic light + %DI) the highest for usefulness, ease-of-understanding, attractiveness, and clarity. Significant differences were found in the customers' perceived attributes to menu labeling between Korea and the U.S. Americans perceived higher for all the 4 attributes of menu labeling than Koreans. CONCLUSIONS: The study is unique in identifying the differences in the attributes of different formats of menu labeling between Korea and the U.S. Americans rated the most complicated type of menu labeling as the highest perception for the attributes, and showed a higher use intention of menu labeling than Koreans. This study contributes to academia and industry for practicing menu labeling in different countries using different formats.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics and descriptive analysis of Yanggaeng prepared with Lycii fructus extract (LD). LD were added in ratios (w/w) of 0 (C), 1.5 (LY1), 3.0 (LY2), 4.5 (LY3), and 6% (LY4), and then proximate compositions, physicochemical properties, and sensory evaluations of the Yanggaeng were measured LY1~LY4 samples showed higher contents of crude lipid, crude protein and crude ash as well as $^{\circ}Brix$ compared to control (p<0.001). pH and lightness (L) of samples decreased as the LD increased. With regard to the texture of Yanggaeng samples, the scores of hardness, adhesiveness, springness, and cohesiveness was significantly increased by the Addition of LD (p<0.05, p<0.01). For the descriptive analysis, ten panelist generated and evaluated 29 sensory attributes for the Yanggaeng, and there were significant differences among the samples for all 26 sensory attributes. For the descriptive data, principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to summarize the sensory characteristics of the Yanggaeng. The results of PCA showed that the positive attributes, e.g. savoury, were closely in relationship with LY2 and LY3. Form the findings, this study suggests that 3~4.5% addition of LD was effective for preparation of Yanggaeng in the aspects of the consumer acceptability.

본 연구는 이미지에 대한 접근 및 검색을 향상시키고, 이미지에 대한 설명 제공 도구로서의 태그를 효과적으로 생성하기 위한 방안을 모색하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 이미지 태그를 생성하는 두 가지 방법인 휴먼 태깅과 머신 태깅의 특징을 조사하고 휴먼 태그와 머신 태그의 속성을 비교 분석하였다. 머신 태그는 일반적 속성이 가장 높았으며, 특정적 속성과 시각적 요소는 일부 나타났고, 추상적 속성은 거의 나타나지 않았다. 휴먼 태그도 일반적 속성이 가장 높았으나 휴먼 태그 생성자가 명칭을 알 수 있는 객체 및 장면에 대해서는 특정적 속성의 비중이 높았으며, 감정과 정서, 추상적 개념의 주제뿐 아니라 사건, 장소, 시간, 관계 등이 다양한 태그로 표현되었다. 본 연구를 통해 생성된 태그 집합은 머신러닝 알고리즘을 개선하기 위한 트레이닝 데이터세트를 구성하는데 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Consumers attribute human personality to products or stores as well as brands. As brand personality is imprinted to a consumer's mind, in e-commerce, the concept of store personality needs to be examined by comprehending the e-brand personality. Unlike the recent studies that focus primarily on the portal site, we attempt to identify e-brand personality of online shopping malls that sell fashion products. This study also examined the impact of the parent company's attributes on e-brand personality. A survey was conducted to 240 females and 240 males in their 20s or 30s. E-brand personality of three different types of the Internet shopping mall was evaluated by 160 respondents, respectively. As a result, we found that Internet shoppers perceive that e-brands have four distinct personality dimensions: young, reliable, sophisticated, and creative. Among the four dimensions, "young" and "reliable" showed the most significant influence on intention to visit the shopping mall site. Besides, e-brand personality varied with parent companies' attributes such as reputation, credibility, and fashion industry-relatedness. Especially, credibility of the parent company showed a strong positive relationship with e-brand personality.

In this study, we develop a scale to measure brand image attributes related to the symbolic use of fashion brands, and then, test the validity and reliability of the scale. In Study 1, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to generate the initial set of measurement items. Nominal Group Technique was subsequently conducted to refine the measurement items in a qualitative way. In Study 2, an expert survey was performed to further refine the measurement items in a quantitative way. In Study 3, a consumer survey was performed to determine the final set of measurement items and validate it. The scale of brand attribute symbolism consists of 21 items with six factors (i.e., Strength, Intellect, Cheerfulness, Traditional Femininity, Nature, and Affordability). The six-factor, 21-item scale is found valid and reliable. Implications, limitations of this study, and suggestions for future research are also discussed.

This study explores the attributes of the color cosmetic products and prices, and their effects on the brand trust. In doing so, our sample population has been segmented according to their lifestyle on color cosmetic to understand the group differences. Based on the previous researches, we have chosen four important characteristics of the customer's lifestyle. The number of iteration on factor analysis revealed that our sample population can be formed into three different groups. The significant group differences resulted on the following study variables; the product functionality, the product fragrance/color, the product vessel design, the price value, the price information, the price rationality. Also, from the product aspect, the product functionality, the product fragrance/color, the product vessel design, explained the significant portion of the Y variance. While, on the aspect of price, the value, the rationality, and information in order, significantly contributed on the brand trust.

The questionnaire included questions regarding respondents' preference of different store types, clothing consumption values, perceived importance of store attributes. According to the results, the respondents were categorized into 5 distinct groups based on their store type preferences: discount store preference group, multi-channel preference group, store indifferent group, brand store preference group, online store preference group. Multi-channel preference group was the largest among these groups. The five store type preference groups statistically varied in clothing consumption values, i.e., epistemic value, brand/conspicuous value, and economic value. The groups also differed in the importance they placed in the store attributes of: service and product quality, promotion, fashionability, salesperson and store environment, store atmosphere, convenience, and website image. The results of this study have direct implication for retail marketers of fashion companies who are targeting male consumers.
