Abstract

A study is presented that examines the effect of personality on preference and purchase intention of positive and negative novelty design products. Participants evaluated their preference and purchase intention on 18 design products including positive and negative novelty design products. A cute Scream character was created as a positive novelty design and a skeleton Mickey character was used as a negative one. We measured extroversion, neuroticism, and visual product aesthetics as individual traits. The results shows that people, of course, prefer(and want to buy) the positive novelty design product to the negative novelty design product. Only in the case of the negative novelty design product, the more neurotic people is, the more they prefer it. Also, among the people who like the negative novelty design product, introvert ones are likely to purchase it but extroverted ones are not. These findings imply that personality plays an important role in liking and purchasing negative novelty design product.

본 연구에서는 기존의 전형성에서 긍정/부정이라는 정서적 방향성이 분명하게 이탈된 디자인을 활용한 제품에 대한 선호도와 구매의사에 성격이 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 알아보았다. 기존의 긍정적 전형성에서 부정적으로 이탈된 디자인 제품과 기존의 부정적 전형성에서 긍정적으로 이탈된 디자인 제품에 대한 참가자들의 선호도와 구매의사가 측정되었으며 여기에 미치는 개인 특성으로 외향성, 신경증, 심미적 성향이 측정되었다. 연구 결과, 참가자들은 부정적으로 이탈된 디자인 제품보다 긍정적으로 이탈된 디자인 제품을 훨씬 더 선호하였고 구매의사도 더 높았다. 부정적으로 이탈된 디자인 제품의 선호도에는 신경증이 유의미한 영향을 미쳐 신경증이 높을수록 부정이탈 디자인 제품을 더 선호하였다. 또한 부정이탈 디자인 제품의 구매의사에 대해서는 선호도와 외향성의 상호작용 효과가 나타났는데, 즉 내향적인 사람일수록 높은 선호도가 실제 구매의사로 이어질 가능성이 유의미하게 높았다. 반면 긍정이탈 디자인 제품에 대해서는 성격의 효과가 전혀 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과는 부정적인 정서를 유발하는 전형성 이탈 디자인 제품에 있어서는 개인의 성격적 특성이 선호도 및 구매의사에 중요한 역할을 함을 보여준다.
