A total of 134 valid questionnaires were collected, and statistical analysis was conducted. Food choice tendency was derived from three factors: nutrition-oriented, psychological-oriented, and taste-oriented, and positive cooking attitude was derived from two factors: excellency and benefit. As a result of analyzing the effect of food choice tendency on positive cooking attitude, it was found that nutritional-oriented propensity had a significant effect on positive cooking attitude (p<0.01). In addition, in the relationship between a positive cooking attitude and home cooking satisfaction, both the excellency and benefit of a positive cooking attitude were found to have a significant positive effect on home cooking satisfaction (p<0.01).
