Abstract

A Semantic Differential (SD) questionnaire composed of 22 food concepts was developed and presented to 82 adult Korean-born immigrant residents and 73 adult non-Korean residents in the metropolitan area of St. Louis, Missouri. Korean participants received SD questionnaires translated into the Korean language. In addition, Koreans were asked to rate seven Korean food concepts. Results showed that the connotative meanings of Korean food items were significantly more positive than the meanings of the American food items (p=0.0l) to the Korean immigrants. Korean-born residents' connotative meanings of the 22 food concepts were statistically different from the non-Korean residents' (p=0.001). The observed demographic variables of the Korean-born immigrants, namely, gender, age, primary occupation and length of residency in the U.S. did not influence their connotative meanings of the 22 food concepts. Nor were the non-Korean residents' connotative meanings of 22 food concepts influenced by gender, age, or prima...

美国中西部都市圈韩裔成年移民与非韩裔居民食物概念内涵的比较

本文设计了一份包含22个食物概念的语义差异问卷，并向密苏里州圣路易斯市大都会区的82名成年韩裔移民居民和73名成年非韩裔居民进行了问卷调查。韩国参与者收到了翻译成韩国语的SD问卷。此外，韩国人还被要求对7种韩国食品概念进行打分。结果显示，韩国食品项目的内涵意义对韩国移民的积极程度显著高于美国食品项目的内涵意义(p= 0.01)。韩裔居民对22个食物概念的内涵意义与非韩裔居民有统计学差异(p=0.001)。观察到的韩裔移民的人口统计变量，即性别、年龄、主要职业和在美国居住的时间，并没有影响他们对22种食物概念的内涵意义。非韩裔居民对22种食物概念的内涵意义也不受性别、年龄或主要因素的影响。
