The purpose of this study is to classify men's fashion leadership into groups and analyzed the differences for the actual conditions of cosmetics purchasing and evaluation criteria. Questionnaires are being administered from 163 men in their 20's and 30's living in Deagu Metropolitan City and Kyungbook. Frequency, factor analysis, reliability analysis, cluster analysis, ANOVA, Duncan-test, and $X^2$-test are all used for data analysis. Our findings are as follows. Men's fashion leadership is being categorized into fashion opinion leadership, innovative communicator and fashion innovator. Cosmetics evaluation criteria are service/aesthetic, ostentatious, function, and economy. Men's fashion leadership is classified into three groups: fashion laggards, fashion leaders, and fashion followers. Males show no significant differences in the function of cosmetics evaluation criteria by the groups but they show significances in service/aesthetic, ostentatious, and economy. Groups display distinctions between the sub-variables in the actual condition of cosmetics purchasing such the place of purchase, companionship when buying cosmetics, and average monthly purchase amount. Although the cosmetic markets for men show high average growth rates per year, cosmetic interests at the age of twenties and thirties are generally low, and cosmetics are not actively used. The customers' experience of using merchandise not only provide the opportunities of trying beforehand, but also lead to the role of information transfer, thus, it can be positively applied to active marketing. In addition, it can be expected that the low-priced cosmetic markets are guaranteed to obtain loyal customers through repurchasing and maintain long-term relationships by providing fashion followers with several promotional events.

This study analyzed the relationship among swimming experiences, swimsuit selection criteria, swimsuit purchase satisfaction level, and the physical self-concept of female consumers. This study was based on a descriptive survey method using a questionnaire. The survey was conducted from June 15 through July 20, 2012, and the sample consisted of 330 female consumers in their 20s and 30s residing in the Seoul and Gyeonggi area. Factor analysis and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ coefficients, ANOVA, Duncan's Test, and multiple regression analysis were employed for the data analysis. The results revealed that individual self-concepts on health, sports competence, and fitness were influenced by swimming experiences. There was a tendency for those with a longer period of swimming experience to have a higher level of brand consideration as a swimsuit selection criterion; in addition, they showed a higher satisfaction level with swimsuits. Individual physical self-concept influenced the consideration given to each swimsuit selection criterion as well as swimsuit purchase satisfaction level. The findings of the study reflect the possibility of utilizing swimming experiences as a criterion for swimsuit market segmentation. Attention to the quality of swimsuits as well as to the physical self-concept of consumers are required for marketing activities.

본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 무공해식품의 구매동기로는 건강상의 이유(4.43/5점)가 가장 높았으며, 그 다음으로 영양가의 이유(4.01), 맛의 이유(3.39)의 순으로 나타나 무공해식품이 지닌 장점이 곧 소비자의 구매동기로 작용하고 있었다. 2. 첫번째의 무공해식품의 주정보원은 TV 라디오(65.1%)이었으며, 2위는 신문과 잡지(35.4%), 3위는 가족 친구 친지의 조언 상담(26.1%)으로 나타나 매스컴은 주요한 무공해식품의 정보원으로 활용되고 있었다. 3. 무공해식품의 구매시 전반적 고려정도(3.97/5점)가 상당히 높았고, 7가지 고려사항이 모두 높게 나타나 이 7가지 사항이 평가기준으로 활용되고 있었으며, 특히 위생상태와 신선도(4.37/5점), 영양가(4.13), 안전성(3.99)을 상당히 고려하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 무공해식품의 의견선도자는 매스컴(53.5%)이었으며, 구매시 자녀(50.6%)와 남편(34.3%)을 고려하여 구매하는 경향이었다. 4. 첫번째로 이용하는 구매장소는 슈퍼마켓(67.9%)이었으며 두번째의 장소로는 백화점(42.1%), 세번째로는 시장(35.5%) 및 인근가게(27.0%)로 나타났다. 또한 구매시 전반적 확인정도는 높았으며, 확인사항으로는 유통 보존기한(4.63)과 제조일자(4.59), 포장의 손상여부(4.47)는 반드시 확인하고 구입하는 경향이었으나, 제조회사명(3.83)을 확인하는 경우가 다소 낮았으며, 환경마크 및 품질보증표(3.91)와 식품첨가물(3.96)도 확인하는 경향이 높았다. 5. 구매 후 전반적 불만족도는 그다지 높지는 않았으나, 가격(4.03), 제품함량 부족(3.61), 성분과 제조날짜의 표시 미기재 및 불명확(3.45, 3.23)에 대해서 다소불만족한 것으로 나타났다. 6. 무공해식품의 전반적 고려정도와 확인정도에 영향력을 미치는 가장 큰 변수는 무공해식품에 대한 관심도이었으며 그 다음으로는 주택유형이었다. 또한 전반적 불만족도에 가장 큰 영향 변수로는 소득으로 나타났으며, 그 다음으로도 주택유형으로 나타났다. 즉 무공해식품의 관심도가 많고 아파트에 거주하는 집단에서 무공해식품의 구매시 고려정도와 확인정도가 높으며, 소득이 많고 아파트에 거주하는 집단에서 무공해식품에 대한 전반적 불만족도가 높았다.
