Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the difference of environmental consciousness and its influence on the eco-friendly products purchase intention by the undergraduates' lifestyle patterns. The results of this analysis are as follows. First, the health orientation lifestyle of the undergraduates showed the high significant level to both cognition of environmental performance and environmental protection. However, both self pursuit and positive action lifestyle showing the low significant level were rejected. Second, the high environmental protection lifestyle of the undergraduates showed high significant level. This study shows that the health orientation lifestyle undergraduates are high environmental consciousness, and also they show high purchase intention of eco-friendly products.

본 연구는 대학생들의 라이프스타일 유형을 분류하여 그 유형별로 환경의식에는 어떠한 차이가 있으며, 환경의식은 친환경제품의 구매의도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 분석하는 데 연구의 목적이 있다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 라이프스타일 유형 중 건강지향형은 환경실천과 환경보호의 모두에서 유의한 수준으로 나타나 가설이 채택되었다. 그러나 자기추구형과 적극활동형의 유형은 모두 유의하지 않은 값으로 기각되었다. 둘째, 환경보호가 높은 집단이 친환경제품 구매의도에 있어서 유의한 수준으로 가설이 채택되었다. 따라서 건강지향형의 라이프스타일을 지닌 대학생들이 환경에 대한 의식이 높았으며, 환경보호의식이 높은 집단에서 친환경제품에 대한 구매의도가 높다는 사실을 알 수 있다.
