본 연구의 목적은 미국 여대생의 자의식, 물질주의성향, 충동구매와 과시적 소비성향간의 관계에 관하여 조사하는데 있다. 상징적 자기완성이론을 이론적 근거로 하여 가설을 설계하였으며, 설문지 조사법을 이용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 편의표본추출법을 적용하여 미국 중서부지역의 한 대학교의 여대생 315명을 연구대상으로 설문조사를 하였으며, 최종적으로 296명의 응답을 연구결과분석에 이용하였다. Stepwise 회귀분석을 통한 분석 결과 공적 자의식은 물질주의성향과 충동구매성향 및 과시소비성향에 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 사적 자의식은 과시소비성향에 부적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 단순회귀분석을 통한 분석 결과 물질주의성향과 충동구매성향 및 과시적 소비 성향 간에 정적인 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 자의식, 물질주의성향, 충동구매와 과시소비 성향간의 관계 메커니즘을 증명해 보임으로써, 사회 심리학적 소비자 행동연구에 이론적 틀을 제시하였다. 또한, 본 연구결과는 미국 여대생을 표적 시장으로 하는 기업이 표적소비자의 소비행동과 심리를 이해하는데 중요한 자료로 이용될 것으로 기대된다.

This study presents product marketing strategy for mobile gift-giving by recognizing how consumers' propensity of conspicuous consumption and level of impression management affect the choice between hedonic goods and utilitarian goods. Data were collected through an online survey, and logistic regression analysis was performed using SPSS 23.0. The result of this study showed that people with high propensity of conspicuous consumption chose hedonic goods more than utilitarian goods in mobile gift-giving regardless of the level of impression management. On the other hand, those who with low propensity of conspicuous consumption chose utilitarian goods more than hedonic goods when the level of impression management was low, while these was no difference in choice between hedonic and utilitarian goods when the level of impression management was high. This study proposes to advertise in consideration of consumers' propensity of conspicuous consumption and impression management in marketing mobile gift products, especially for hedonic goods.
