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.

消费者购买食品的能力对食品相关消费者政策的满意度和对食品相关生活的满意度（通过对食品安全的感知）的影响。

基于知识赤字模型，本研究提出了消费者购买食品的能力与对进口和国产食品安全性的认识之间的关系。这项研究还研究了对进口和国内食品安全性的看法如何影响对食品相关消费者政策的满意度和对食品相关生活的满意度。自2013年以来，由韩国农村经济研究所每年进行的“ 2019年食品消费者行为调查”中的数据，我们分析了5869名受访者的最终样本的回答。通过结构方程建模对假设的概念模型进行了评估。消费者购买食品的能力与对食品安全的认识之间的所有拟议关系都得到了支持。对食品安全的认识与对与食品有关的消费者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。食物来源也影响了人们对食物安全的看法与对食物相关生活的满意度之间的关系。对与食物相关的消费者政策的满意度与对与食物相关的生活的满意度显着相关。我们讨论了如何将这项研究的结果应用于与食品相关的消费者政策的制定。
