온라인상의 쇼핑에서 사용후기에 관한 많은 연구가 진행 중이지만, 사용후기를 보는 원인에 관한 분석에 대해서는 아직 부족함으로 연구를 진행하였다. 온라인상이기 때문에 가지는 위험 중에서도 사용후기를 통해서 어떤 위험을 가장 많이 가지고 있는지에 대해 우선 알아볼 필요성이 있을 것 같다. 이의 연구결과 기능적 위험을 가장 크게 지각하고 있었기 때문에 사용후기를 보는 이유로서의 근거가 될 수 있을 것이다. 둘째, 의류에 관련된 논문들을 보면 온라인상에서 구매를 꺼려하는 이유가 직접 눈으로 보고 만질 수 없다는 기능적 위험을 가장 크게 가지고 있었다. 그렇기 때문에 대리 시용구매를 할 수 있는 사용후기를 이용하여 의류제품을 온라인상에서 구매하는 것이 영향을 미치는 것인지에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 본 연구 결과, 긍정적인 후기를 보고 구매하려는 의도가 나타났었고 부정적인 후기를 보고 구매하지 않으려하므로 사용후기가 구매함에 있어 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 사용후기를 중심으로 메시지를 보고 메시지에 대한 태도와 제품에 대한 태도, 그리고 구매의도 뿐만 아니라 메시지의 유형에 따라서 구전 의도나 사이트 재방문 의도라는 구매 행동에도 차이가 날 것이라고 추측했다. 연구 결과를 보면 유형별로 각각 다르게 영향을 미치고 있었으며, 부정적인 메시지로 인해 제품에 대한 좋지 않은 태도를 가지게 됨으로써 제품을 구입하려는 사이트 재방문 의도는 나타나지 않았다.

As hostile online reviews can have a negative impact on a company's reputation, it is not surprising that online reviewers and business owners often get involved in conflicts which sometimes evolve into legal disputes. This research examines the legal dispute case in which the business owner charges an online reviewer for a defamation. Further, this research compares the supreme court's decision with general public's view on this defamation case, using a survey method. From the legal point of view, an online reviewer's primary motive determines whether the online reviews are defamatory statements or not. Specifically, if an online reviewer's primary motive is to increase the overall benefits for the public society, the online review does not bear any legal liability. According to our survey, consumers' view aligns with the final decision of the supreme court. They believe that online reviews should bear a minimum level of legal liability as online reviews often contain useful and valuable information which can enhance overall public benefits.

Since consumers have difficulty in acquiring information related to products in online, they are apt to use WOM(word-of-mouth). It seems to be more popular and acceptable methods to acquire information about products sold in online. In other words, consumers who visit the Internet shopping-mall can not make a purchase-decision immediately because they have no sufficient knowledge about products. To solve this problem, consumers make use of the service called "online review". The objective of this study is to verify how these reviews can influence attitude toward the message, product and several buying behaviors in the online. In particular, this study focus on the message's sidedness(positive or negative) and objectivity(objective or subjective), because it is expected that consumers are likely to behave differently according to the characteristics of online reviews. Thus, to measure consumer's attitude and buying behavior, this study was examined by 4 types of messages. The results of this study are as follows: First, in the positive-objective message, the message attitude has a stronger effect on purchase intention than other outcomes. Second, in the positive-subjective message, the message attitude has a stronger effect on revisiting intention than others. Third, in the negative-objective message, the message attitude has a stronger effect on purchase intention than others. Hence, it is said that online shopping-mall managers need to understand the effects of multidimensional online review.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of genuineness, usefulness, overstatement, and assentation of the smartphone majib app on trust, perceived risk, and use intention, and thereby suggest useful information for the mobile application. A survey was conducted from May 11, 2015 to June 30, 2015 targeting smartphone majib app users through convenience sampling. A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed, of which 275 were used for analysis after excluding 25 response for negligent or inappropriate responses. The results found that, first, of the review characteristics, genuineness and usefulness, assentation had positive (+) effects on trust, while overstatement had a negative (-) effect on trust. Second, of the review characteristics, only genuineness and usefulness had significant effects on perceived risk. Third, trust had a significant effect on use intention rather than on perceived risk. Fourth, trust and perceived risk had mediating effects on the relationship between the assentation of the majib smartphone app review characteristics and use intention.

The current study extends previous research by investigating the role of shopping experience and product type within the direction of online reviews and information reliability and product attitude. To test the hypotheses, this study conducted experimental designs. Direction of online reviews and product type were manipulated as between-subject factors. Then participants were classified into high or low group based on their shopping frequency. Dependent variable was information reliability and product attitude. The results indicate that direction of online reviews have a significant effect on both information reliability and product attitude. In addition, consumers' shopping experience also shows a moderating effect between the direction of online reviews and the dependent variables. Furthermore, product type also shows a moderating effect on the information reliability, yet not on the product attitude. The results of this study contribute to the literature as a new attempt to examine the direction of online reviews in the online shopping area. We also indicated the limitations of this study, and suggested the future research directions.

Internet is having strong impact on the consumer's decision making process. Information search has been done actively through internet today. The online reviews can be crucial information cue to evaluate the alternarive products. The online WOM(Word-Of-Mouth) effect depends on the characteristics of information sender, receiver, and WOM. This study is to examine the influence of the online word of mouth on the consumer purchase intention and the moderating role of product involvement, consumer regulatory focus and self-efficacy. Positive customer reviews on the products influence the purchase intention positively and negative customer reviews influence it negatively. Moderating role of involvement in the causal relation between the valence of online reviews and purchase intention is tested. In case of positive WOM, it is predicted that purchase intention for high involvement products is higher than that of low involvement. In case of negative WOM, purchase intention for high involvement product is lower than that of low involvement product. And this study invetigate the moderating role of regulatory focus. In case of positive WOM, it is predicted that promotion focus oriented consumers have higher purchase intention than prevention focus oriented consumers. In case of negative WOM, prediction is that prevention focus oriented consumers have lower purchase intention than promotion focus oriented consumers. Then we examine the moderating role of self efficacy in the causal relation between the valence of online reviews and purchase intention. In case of positive WOM, it is predicted that consumers with low self efficacy have higher purchase intention than consumers with high self efficacy. In case of negative WOM, it is predicted that consumers with low self efficacy have lower purchase intention than consumers with high self efficacy. Emprical results support our prediction and four hypotheses derived from our conceptual framework are all accepted. This study suggest that the level of product involvement, consumer regulatory focus and the level of self-efficacy influence the consumer responses of the valence of online reviews. Therefore marketers need to manage online reviews based on the level of product involvement, regulatory focus orientation and the level of self-efficacy of target consumers.

It is an increasing research area to explore mathematics learning from discursive perspectives. However, there have been little studies conducted on why and how discursive perspectives in mathematics learning were adopted and developed. Especially, not much discussion has been done on the later Wittgenstein's philosophical stance in terms of the relationship between language and thought as a background of discursive approach to learning mathematics. This study aims to explore the later Wittgenstein on language to get better understanding about discursive approaches to mathematics learning. For the attainment of this aim, first the later philosophy is compared with the former philosophy in depth. Then the later philosophy is discussed focusing on how his point of view on the world and the language have been changed. After providing an account of his later philosophy, it is clarified that what is discursive approaches to learning mathematics and how this philosophy brace the approaches. This research concludes with implications and limitations, as well as suggestions for future researches.
