Abstract

This study investigated whether there was a difference in off-line consumption behavior on and off-line. Online surveys were conducted on 218 people aged 20 to 59 who live in the country actively using Instagram, and the results of analysis through technical statistical analysis, logistic regression analysis, and linear regression analysis are as follows. There are some differences in the consumption items and expenditures of showing consumption behavior on Instagram and showing consumption in real space. In addition, there were different factors influencing the behavior of showing off in Instagram and the factors affecting the showing of consumption in real space. Age, education, and narcissism have an effect on show off behavior in Instagram, whereas age, materialism, and narcissism have been identified as factors influencing in real space. Whether on Instagram or in the real space, the positive emotions felt by consumers after showing off consumption had a statistically significant effect on consumer happiness. This study has significance in that it has empirically verified the difference between Instagram and actual consumption behaviors, and sought the direction of healthy consumption behaviors for consumer happiness.

본 연구는 오랜기간 동안 연구돼 온 현실공간에서의 과시소비행동과 이미지 및 영상 기반의 SNS인 인스타그램에서의 과시소비행동 간에 차이를 비교하여, 변화된 과시소비에 대한 시사점을 제공하고자 수행되었다. 인스타그램을 적극적으로 이용하는 만 20세~59세의 218명을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 실시하여, 기술통계분석, 로지스틱회귀분석, 선형회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다. 그 결과 인스타그램에서의 과시소비행동과 현실공간에서의 과시소비행동의 소비품목, 지출액 그리고 행동에 미치는 영향요인에는 일부 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 과시소비행동 이후, 인스타그램에서든 현실공간에서든 소비자들은 긍정적 감정이 소비자행복에 정적으로 유의한 영향을 미치고 있었다. 현실공간에 국한되어 있던 과시소비행동을 인스타그램이라는 새로운 환경적 요소를 반영하여 그 변화를 탐구한 점과 과시소비행동이 소비자 감정 및 행복에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다는 점에서 본 연구는 과시소비행동의 연구범위를 확대했다는 점에 의의가 있다.
