최근 들어 브랜드 개성이 소비자들의 마음속에 지각된 브랜드를 차별화 시킬 수 있는 중요한 수단이라는 인식이 증가하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 브랜드 개성에 대한 연구는 아직까지 체계적인 연구가 진행되지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 브랜드의 자아표현적 역할에 초점을 맞추어 브랜드 개성이 소비자행동에 어떻게 영향을 미치는가를 자아이미지와의 일치성과 관련하여 실증적으로 규명하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 소비자들은 브랜드의 개성이 자신의 이미지와 일치할 때 해당 브랜드에 더욱 호감을 갖고 있었다. 특히, 제품에 대해 상징적 가치를 높게 지각하고 있는 헤도닉 태도가 높은 소비자의 경우에는 브랜드 개성과의 자아이미지 일치성이 브랜드 태도에 중요한 영향을 미치나, 헤도닉 태도가 낮은 소비자의 경우는 브랜드 개성과 자아이미지의 일치성이 브랜드 태도 형성에 중요하게 고려되지 못하였다.

본 연구에서는 브랜드 개성이 제품의 개성을 판단하는데 영향을 미치는가에 대하여 설문을 통해 살펴보았다. 동일한 제품에 대하여 개성이 상이한 브랜드가 적용되었을 경우 제품의 개성을 판단함에 있어 브랜드 개성의 특성이 반영되는지 여부를 확인하고자 하였다. 설문을 위하여 두 켤레의 신발을 준비하였으며 각각은 상징적인 측면이 강조된 여성용 하이힐 제품과 기능적인 측면이 강조된 운동화로 구성하였다. 각 제품에 대하여 명품브랜드(Versace), 일반 상용 브랜드(독일: C&A, 한국: 밀리오레), 그리고 브랜드가 부착되지 않은 총 6장의 사진을 준비하였다. 실험에 앞서 별도의 피험자들이 상기 사용된 브랜드들에 대하여 "frohlich/유쾌함(cheerful)", "ehrlich/정직함(honest)", "provokativ/도발적인(provocative)"의 형용사로 평가를 하였다. 본 실험에서는 실험참여자에게 각 신발들의 3가지 사진 중 무작위로 선정된 사진을 한 장씩 보여주고, 각각에 대해 브랜드 측정에 사용했던 동일한 평가항목을 이용하여 평가하도록 했다. 더불어, 본 연구는 개인주의 문화권에 비하여 집단주의 문화권에서 브랜드의 영향이 더 두드러지게 나타나는 지를 알아보기 위하여 독일의 만하임대학(Universitaet Mannheim)과 한국의 한국과학기술원(KAIST) 학생들을 위주로 설문을 실시하여 문화적 차이에 따른 브랜드 영향력을 비교하고자 하였다. 실험결과에서는 독일과 한국 모두에서 브랜드 개성이 제품 개성에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났으나, 브랜드 개성이 제품의 기능적 측면(가격)에는 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다(p<.001).

실체 유물론과 인과 결정론이 개인의 자유와 동일성을 실질적으로 열어주려면 사건 원인 외에 행위자 원인의 여지를 허용해야 한다. 그 두 가지 원인은 법칙적 일반적 결정의 개념과 합리적 개성적 결정의 개념을 지니고 있다. 개성의 인과적 역할은 법칙화할 수 없는 물질성의 여지를 남긴다. 바로 그 가능성이 인간의 자유와 동일성의 실질적 복권의 가능성이다.

As the competition becomes more severe, the importance of brand confidence is coming to the front mainly because there has been a tendency of the customer for choosing a product or service in conjunction with the confidence. The concept of brand personality has formed as a result of various efforts for establishing a differentiated and confident brand image. The brand personality is regarded a useful mean for meeting objectives of a corporation for establishing a distinctive brand identity as well as customers for expressing their self-image. In line with the growing importance of the brand personality, researchers have attempted to measure it by various methods. However, most of researches were based on verbal and quantitative methods which take a long period of time and lots of efforts to analyze their results. Such methods also have limitations for visualizing the results. In this vein, this study aims to develop a new visible brand personality measurement system by utilizing the purpose-designed avatar. Major findings of the study are as follows: Firstly, the avatar can be an effective mean for visualizing the brand personality. As the avatar can visualize the personalities of human-beings through facial expressions, clothing, attitudes and movements, a specially designed avatar can express the brand personality. Secondly, types of the brand personality can be segregated into distinctive seven classes and such classes are used as guidelines for developing specially designed brand personality avatars. Thirdly, the purpose-designed brand personality avatar can be an effective mean for measuring the brand personality as a result of various tests for the validity. In condusion, avatar can be a more powerful tool than language for measuring the brand personality.
