Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate how consumers react differently to financial and social risk/return, referred to as an 'asymmetric effect'. A lab-based experiment using a counterfeit but real-branded product examined the robustness of the statement that priming the interdependent versus independent self can result in differences in financial and social risk taking behavior in the context of counterfeit product purchase choice. Three hundred fifty-eight participants took part in the experiment. They were primed with different self-construal and evaluated purchase intention to the counterfeit product. As predicted, when evaluate in the context of loss claim of counterfeit product, risks were more activated, however, there was an asymmetric effect that self-construal priming had on financial and social risks. Interdependence primed participants were more likely to take a financial risk thus perform more purchase intention of counterfeit product and less likely to take a social risk than their independence primed counterparts, which led to lower purchase intention. The results of this research shed light on the various directions of future studies on the responses toward counterfeit product.

본 연구는 모조품에 대해 사람들이 가질 수 있는 위험 또는 수익이 점화되었을 때 그들이 자신을 어떻게 추론하는지에 따라 구매의도가 상이함을 밝히고자 하였다. 실존하는 브랜드의 모조품을 활용하였고 358명의 대학생이 피험자로 참여한 실험의 결과, 위험의 도메인 하에서는 독립적인 자아추론을 할 경우 재정적인 위험이 크다고 지각할 때 사회적인 위험이 크다고 지각할 때보다 구매의도가 낮았으며, 상호보완적인 자아추론을 할 때는 반대의 양상이 나타났다. 한편, 수익의 도메인 하에서는 비대칭의 양상이 나타났는데, 독립적인 자아추론을 할 경우 재정적인 수익이 크다고 지각할 때 사회적인 수익이 크다고 지각할 때보다 구매의도가 낮았으며, 상호보완적인 자아추론을 할 때는 사회적인(vs. 재정적인) 수익이 크다고 지각할 때가 높은 구매의도를 보였다. 이 같은 연구결과는 모조품에 대한 지각과 행동적 반응에 대한 다양한 각도의 접근이 필요함을 시사한다.
