In a few studies about product involvement there was confusion in the construct of involvement especially in association with importance. Due to the confusion of the construct unanticipated and inconsistent results were reported in some cases. So this study was mainly to identify the relationship between clothing importance and clothing involvement and also investigated the casual relationships among consumers n, value, clothing importance, clothing involvement fashion opinion leadership, and shopping behavior. The data were collected from 429 female adults using questionnaire, and were analysed with actor and path analysis. Results can be summarized as follows. First, clothing importance was the separate concept from clothing involvement, though they were closely related. Second. it was revealed that the main casual path was valuerlongrightarrowclothing importancelongrightarrowclothing involvementlongrightarrowfashion opinion leadership, shopping preference, shopping frequency, and shopping time. On the whole, the affective dimension of clothing involvement mainly affected them, and consumer's age negatively affected fashion opinion leadership and shopping behavior.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences in consumer clothing shopping orientation and shopping behaviors by the multi-selection of internet and offline stores. The data were collected from 201 men and women in their twenties and the respondents were grouped into three as internet-store users, multi-store users, and offline-store users. The data were analyzed using factor analysis, ANOVA, post-hoc analysis, frequency analysis, and chi-square analysis. The results are as following. First, the clothing shopping orientation was partly different among the groups. Regarding the offline shopping orientation, the groups showed difference in the impulsive orientation, and regarding the online shopping orientation, the groups showed differences in the goal oriented and enjoying orientation. In all the three cases, the internet users showed strongest orientation, and the next were multi-store users and offline-store users. The cause of these results were explained as the familiarity and experience with the channel. Second, the clothing shopping behaviors were also partly different among the groups. The groups showed no differences in the preferred store type and benefits sought, but showed significant difference in the attitude toward the internet shopping. The internet-store users showed most positive attitude, and the next were multi-store users and offline-store users.

In this study. we tried to provide basic materials for teachers to develop consumer's guide of internet shopping for middle and high school students through surveying their Purchase realities, clothing purchase behaviors. and clothing purchase attitudes when they use internet shopping mall. The questionaires were distributed to middle and high school students in Seoul, Daegu, Kyunggi, Chungbuk, Chungnam, Kyungbuk, and Kyungnam November, 2004. The followings are the results of this study. First, clothing items which were bought in internet shopping malls were shirts. shoes, pants, bags in order and they were below $20,000\~30,000$ won. Main payment method used was sending money to seller's account. Second, clothing purchase satisfaction degree was comparatively high but the satisfaction degree for the compensation policy was low. If they had any claims for the products. they were likely to behave more actively than passively. Third. returned items were shirts, pants, shoes in order which are the same as purchasing items and they were due to the size and the difference between the products recognised by computer screen and the real products. The $89.0\%$ of the subjects who have purchased clothing through internet expressed high intention to purchase in the future through internet. Forth the degree of attitude toward the internet shopping concerned with clothing purchase was high in the factor of 'convenience of shopping', especially they thought that the purchase through internet had the advantage of varieties and prices. The significant differences were found (1) in the experience of purchase and clothing purchase through internet according to their regions. school years, allowances per month, (2) in the purchased items through internet according to only their sexes, and (3) in the desired Purchase items through internet according to school years, their sexes. regions. The more frequently the middle and high school students use internet, the more goods they purchase through internet, especially the portion of the purchased clothing is getting bigger year by year. This suggests that we need to develope well-organized programs to teach good consumer's attitude to the middle and high school students when they purchase through internet.

본 연구는 심리적으로 불안정하여 준거집단이나 사회의 영향을 민감하게 받으며, 의복과 외모에 관심이 높은 청소년을 대상으로 전통적 가치관이 무너지고 소비 지향적인 물질주의 가치관이 팽배한 사회 분위기 속에 이들의 심리적 변수인 가치관이 의복행동에 영향을 미치는 지를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법은 서울의 강남과 강북에 위치한 고등학교 1학년 남녀 학생 530명을 대상으로 선행연구에서 사용된 척도를 사용한 실증연구를 하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS/PC$^{+}$프로그램을 사용하여 t-test, ANOVA, MANOVA등을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 물질주의 가치관은 청소년의 의복착용행동에 영향을 미쳐, 물질주의 가치관이 높은 청소년은 물질주의 가치관이 낮은 청소년에 비해 의복 착용시 심미성을 더 중시하고 의복에 대한 관심과 의존도가 높으며, 의복을 또래집단과 비슷하게 입으려는 동조성도 더 높았으며 의복을 통해 과시하려는 경 향도 높았다. 그러나 의복착용시 정숙성은 그리 중요하게 생각하지 않았다. 물질주의 가치관은 청소년이 의복을 구매할 때도 영향을 미쳐, 물질주의 가치관이 높은 청소년의 의복구매동기는 물질주의 가치관이 낮은 청소년에 비해 더 충동적이고 과시적이며, 유행과 개성 지향적인 것을 알 수 있었으나 실질적이거나 실용적인 구매동기는 상대적으로 약한 것으로 나타났다. 물질주의 가치관에 따라 청소년의 의복 구매시 사용하는 정보원천과 즐겨 구매하는 장소도 차이가 나타나, 물질주의 가치관이 높은 청소년이 물질주의 가치관이 낮은 청소년보다 의복 구매시 정보를 얻기 위해 더 많은 정보원천을 사용하며, 다양한 구매장소를 활용하며, 더 비싼 의류제품을, 더 자주 구매하며, 쇼핑을 위해서도 더 많은 시간을 할애하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과로 청소년의 물질주의 가치관은 이들의 의복관심과 의복착용 그리고 구매에 지대한 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the mediate effect of gender on the differences of consumers grouped by the level of fashion interest. Data was collected from 280 men and women of their twentieth and analyzed using crosstab analysis, ANOVA, scheff'e test, x$^{2}$ test, and regression. The results are as follows. First, high interest groups showed little difference in the clothing shopping orientation and showed significant differences in the clothing purchasing behaviors(visiting store, time spent for shopping, and monthly clothing expenditure) between men and women. Second, low interest groups showed a lot of differences in both the clothing shopping orientation and the clothing purchasing behaviors between men and women. Third, several dimensions of clothing shopping orientation were more influenced from fashion interest level rather than the gender of consumers, and other several dimensions, visiting store, and the time spent for shopping were more influenced from gender rather than fashion interest level. These results imply that the gender of consumer has mediate effect on the behaviors of consumers grouped by the level of fashion interest, and the consumers of same fashion interest level must be approached concerning the gender of consumers.
