Abstract

The personality types has been emphasized as one of the influential factors for the program selection by viewers in the multi-channel and multimedia era. However, there have been few empirical studies on this issue. The current study investigated how the audience personality influence the program preference. Specifically, this study focused on both need for cognition and sensation seeking which are related to the television viewing motivation. To examine the influence of personality on program preference, four types of drama and five types of entertainment programs were used. The results of the web survey showed that viewers personality type seem to have effect on their program preference. Indeed, it appeared that there was positive relationship between need for cognition and sensation seeking. The implications of this study's findings were discussed.

다매체 다채널 시대가 되면서 텔레비전 프로그램 선택을 결정하는 중요한 요인으로 수용자 개인의 성향이 더욱 강조되고 있지만, 실증적인 연구가 부족한 것이 현실이다. 본 연구는 수용자의 개인성향이 프로그램 유형 선호도에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 특히, 프로그램 시청 동기와 관계가 있는 인지욕구와 감각추구성향의 영향력을 검증하고자 하였다. 다양한 텔레비전 프로그램 중에서 드라마와 예능 장르를 각각 4개와 5개 유형으로 세분화하여 각 유형의 선호도에 개인성향이 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 이를 검증하기 위해 웹 서베이를 실시하여 분석한 결과, 응답자들의 인지욕구와 감각추구성향은 프로그램 유형 선호도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 인지욕구와 감각추구성향은 정적인 유의미한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 드러났다. 연구 결과의 함의를 논의하였다.
