The purpose of this study was to assess the causal relationships among belief, subjective norm, moral feeling, attitude, and the intention to consume organic beef. A total of 326 questionnaires were completed by adult in Jeonnam area. Structural equation modeling was used to measure the causal relationships among the constructs. The structural analysis results indicated an excellent model-data fit. The covariance effects of belief and subjective norm, and belief and moral feeling were statistically significant. The effects of belief and moral feeling on attitude and intention to consume were also statistically significant. As expected, attitude had significant effects on intention to consume. Moreover, attitude played a mediating roles in the relationship between belief and intention to consume. Finally, based on structural analysis, a model was proposed for the interrelations among belief, subjective norm and moral feeling towards organic food, attitude and intention to consume. It should be noted that the original organic food consumption model was modified, and should preferably be validated by future research. Other constructs, such as perceived behavior control and consumption, may be incorporated to form models that consist of new antecedent and consequence pairs.
The purpose of this study was to measure the causal relationships among affective belief, environmental belief, subjective norm, attitude and meat consumption behavior. A total of 318 questionnaires were completed. Structural equation model was used to measure the causal relationships among the constructs. Results of the study demonstrated that the structural analysis result for the data also indicated excellent model fit.

본 연구에서는 청소년들의 게임이용에 있어서 또래집단의 영향력이 게임 과몰입에 어떠한 영 향을 미치는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 구체적으로 게임이용의 주관적 규범성을 중심으로 하여, 또래관계 내 정서적지지, 교우관계 스트레스, 친구들의 게임에 대한 태도가 게임 과몰입에 미치 는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구결과, 또래관계 내 정서적지지가 낮을수록, 게임이용의 주관적 규범 과 교우관계 스트레스가 높을수록, 게임 과몰입이 높아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 친구들의 게임에 대한 태도는 게임 과몰입과 통계적으로 유의미한 관련이 없는 것으로 드러났다. 연구결 과에 대한 논의를 통해 게임 과몰입에 있어서 또래집단이 가지는 의미와 중요성 및 연구의 한 계점을 정리하여 제시하였다.
