Based on the knowledge-deficit model, this study proposes a relationship between consumer competence in purchasing foods and perceptions of the safety of imported and domestic foods. This study also examines how perceptions of the safety of imported and domestic foods affect satisfaction with food-related consumer policy and satisfaction with food-related life. Using data from the "2019 Consumer Behavior Survey for Food," which has been conducted every year since 2013 by the Korea Rural Economic Institute, we analyzed the responses of a final sample of 5869 respondents. The hypothesized conceptual model was assessed through structural equation modeling. All but one of the proposed relationships between consumer competence in purchasing foods and perceptions of food safety were supported. The relationship between perceptions of food safety and satisfaction with food-related consumer policies depends on whether foods are imported or domestic. Food origin also affected the relationship between perceptions of food safety and satisfaction with food-related life. Satisfaction with food-related consumer policies is significantly connected with satisfaction with food-related life. We discuss how the findings of this study can be applied to the development of food-related consumer policies.
基于知识 deficit 模型，本研究提出了消费者购买食品的能力与对进口食品和国产食品安全认知之间的关系。本研究还考察了对进口食品和国产食品安全的认知如何影响对与食品相关的消费政策的满意度以及对与食品相关生活的满意度。利用韩国农村经济研究所自2013年起每年进行的“2019年食品消费者行为调查”的数据，我们分析了5869名受访者的最终样本的回答。通过结构方程模型对假设的概念模型进行了评估。除了一个例外，所提出的消费者购买食品的能力与食品安全认知之间的关系均得到了支持。食品安全认知与对与食品相关的消费政策的满意度之间的关系取决于食品是进口的还是国产的。食品来源也影响了食品安全认知与对与食品相关生活的满意度之间的关系。对与食品相关的消费政策的满意度与对与食品相关生活的满意度显著相关。我们讨论了本研究的结果如何应用于与食品相关的消费政策的制定。
