Abstract

This study examined the interaction of nostalgia and self-congruence on consumer behavior. We proposed that nostalgia make consumers' brand attitude and purchase intention more positive when the level of congruence between the brand and consumer's ideal self-image is high, irregardless of the level of actual self congruence. 283 middle-aged people participated and 2(nostalgia: stimuli vs. control) X 2(ideal self-congruence: high vs. low) between subject design is used. The result showed the interaction effect of nostalgia and ideal self congruence. Nostalgia-primed (vs. control) participants reported higher brand attitude and purchase intention to the ideal self-congruent brand. Finally the theoretcal and practical implications and limitations of this study are discussed.

본 연구의 목적은 노스탤지어가 자아일치 소비에 미치는 영향에 대해 검토하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 40-50대 성인 남녀 283명을 대상으로 2(노스탤지어 자극 vs. 비 노스탤지어 자극물) X 2(이상적 자아 일치정도 높음 vs. 이상적 자아 일치 정도 낮음) 피험자간 설계의 실험 연구를 실시하였다. 실험 결과, 노스탤지어 자극 조건에서 이상적 자아와 관련이 깊은 리츠칼튼 브랜드에 대해 자아일치 정도가 높을 경우 더 호의적인 브랜드 태도와 더 높은 구매의도를 보였으나 노스탤지어를 자극하지 않은 경우에는 브랜드 태도나 구매의도가 향상되지 않았다. 한편 실제적 자아와 연관된 이디야 커피 브랜드에서는 노스탤지어와 브랜드의 이상적 자아일치 사이에 이와 같은 상호작용 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 이론적, 실무적 함의점을 토론하였다.
