  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A nested logit model of the determinants of away-from-home food consumption Author: Shin, Soung-kook The increasing demand for meals eaten away from home has increased the interest in developing a more complete understanding of the food-away-from-home (FAFH) consumption patterns in the United States. Previous studies have examined factors that explain variations in FAFH expenditures in the aggregate. However, no previous examinations have dealt with the relationship between FAFH consumption and meal price. The National Panel Diary (NPD) data for the year 1989 were used for the analysis. A sub-sample of single person households was chosen to permit estimation of meal prices. The data set contains demographic information and purchase information. The three step nested logit model was used to examine the FAFH decision behavior process as a whole. These steps are: first, the consumer decides whether to eat out; second, if he/she decides to dine out then he/she chooses the type of food facility fast-food, mid-scale, or up-scale facility - to patronize; and third, given the food facility, the consumer chooses from among five food categories: beef, pork, poultry, seafood and other foods. It is at the third stage that price is hypothesized to play its most important role. With respect to the role of price in selecting particular food categories, the estimated price elasticities of demand were negative in all cases except for beef in the fast-food facilities and beef and seafood in up-scale restaurants. Two possible explanations are offered to explain the positive price elasticities: the relative price effect and Giffen behavior. Other findings for particular food categories emerged. Midwest households (single-person) have a higher probability of choosing beef and pork, when compared to households from the other regions. South, West, and Northeast households show a higher likelihood of choosing seafood products when dining at up-scale restaurants.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Qualitative study of patterns in attitudes, values and behaviors among fathers of gifted and non-gifted children in selected preschools Author: Clausing-Lee, Marianne Sue The purpose of this study was to determine differences in patterns and underlying practices between fathers of gifted and fathers of non-gifted children. The study included 10 fathers of gifted (FG) children and 10 fathers of non-gifted (FN) children. The children were preschoolers, ages 5-6 years old. Giftedness of the children was determined by scoring at or above the 97th percentile on the Weschler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-Revised. Fathers in both groups were interviewed by the researcher using a 119 item protocol, which covered 16 categories. Data analysis revealed differences in parenting patterns between FG and FN in all 16 categories which included: 1. FG read more to their children and chose a greater variety of reading material, and read a higher proportion of non-fiction. 2. FG were more actively involved doing activities and interacting with their children such as building with blocks and Legos and making up nonsense songs, stories, and riddles. 3. More non-gifted children than gifted children frequently watched television. The non-gifted child watched 11 solid days of television more than the gifted child in the course of a year. Cartoons and comedy programs were the typical pattern chosen by children in the non-gifted household; whereas educational programs chosen jointly by the parent and child was the typical pattern in the gifted household. 4. Both groups of fathers used different strategies for helping the child develop interpersonal problem solving techniques for academic, behavior, and discipline problems. 5. FG mentioned that children were encouraged to fulfill household responsibilities because it was their duty. None of the FN encouraged their children to accomplish their household duties because it was their duty. 6. FG frequently took their children to arts activities an often provided their children access to art reproductions, record players, tape recorders, and CD players that FN.
