외부음식의 안전성에 대한 우려와 집밥 섭취 횟수와의 관계: 가구형태를 중심으로
초록
This study analyzes whether safety concern for food in restaurants or purchased outside affects frequency of eating home food. Dependent variable is the frequency of eating home-cooked food and explanatory variables include the safety concern, demographic characteristics, personal involvement to health, and life style related to food. We further analyze whether the effects of the concern differ depending on household type. We reclassified the whole sample into single households, dual-income households, and households with homemaker. Survey results show that S. Korean eat home food more at breakfast than at lunch or dinner. For lunch, they count more on restaurants and communal feeding. For the safety concern for outside food, they worry about ‘delivery/takeout’ the most among different sources, and they are relavtively less worry about home-cooked food. The estimation results show that if one has higher safety concern for outside food, then his/her frequency of eating home food was higher. Further, when we proceeded the estimation with differentiated samples based on household type, we have the same results for dual-income households and households with homemaker, but not for single households. Respondents in single households do not increase the frequency of eating home food although they worry about the safety of outside food, due to some reasons probably including limited time and/or feeling tiresome for preparing food ingredients and cooking.
