The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of Gratifications Obtained (GO) on behavioral intention targeting Over-the-Top (OTT). The study chooses quality of content, variety of content, leisure activity, entertainment, the convenience of watching, and reasonable rate ratio as factors of GO. The number of subjects for the research is 330 people aged from their twenties to thirties in Daegu and Gyeongbok province. This study employs multi-regression analysis to analyze the impacts of GO on behavioral intention. The analysis shows that quality of content and variety of content influence behavioral intention at a significance level of 0.01, and entertainment and the convenience of watching influence at a significance level of 0.05.

The purpose of this study is to present a qualitative research method for extracting and analyzing the comments written by YouTube video users. To do this, we used YouTube users' feedback to measure the hedonic, social, and utilitarian gratification of use and gratification theory(UGT) through by using analysis and topic modeling. The result of the measurement found that the first reason why users watch the trot singer, Cho Myung-sub's video in the KBS Korean broadcasting channel is to achieve hedonic gratification with high frequency. In word-document network analysis, the degree of centrality was high in words, such as 'cheering', 'thank you', 'fighting', and 'best'. Betweenness centrality is similar to the degree of centrality. Eigenvector centrality also shows that words such as 'love', 'heart', and 'thank you' are the most influential words of users' opinions. The results of the centrality analysis present that the majority of video users show their 'love', 'heart' and 'thank you' for the video. it indicates that the high words in centrality analysis is consistent with the high frequency words of hedonic and social gratification dimension of the UGT. The study has research methodological implication that shed light on the motivations for watching YouTube videos with UGT using text mining techniques that automate qualitative analysis, rather than following a survey-based structural equation model.

본 연구는 인터넷 이용수준이 전통적 미디어의 이용수준에 미치는 영향과 수용지들의 미디어 소비 패턴에 대해 살펴보았다. 미디어 대체이론, 이용과 충족이론, 미디어 레퍼토리 연구를 바탕으로 인터넷 이용이 전통적 미디어의 이용에 미치는 영향을 중심으로 개인들의 정보와 오락 미디어 레퍼토리, 인터넷 레퍼토리에 영향을 미치는 사회적, 심리/태도적 변인과 인구통계학적 특징 등도 검토하였다. 이를 위해 전국에 있는 18세 이상 성인들을 대상으로 성별, 나이별, 지역별 층화표집방법을 이용해 표본을 추출하고 500개의 유효 서베이 설문지를 수집하였다. 데이터의 분석결과, 인터넷 이용정도가 다른 매체에 미치는 영향은 각 미디어별로 세 가지 다른 양상을-상호보완적 영향, 대체 치환의 영향, 그리고 영향을 받지 않음-보였으나 대체로 인터넷은 다른 미디어의 대체 미디어라기보다는 보완적인 매체로 현재 이용되고 있음이 나타났다. 또, 전반적인 미디어 이용시간 측면에서는 인터넷을 많이 이용하는 응답자일수록 오락과 정보 미디어 레퍼토리 크기가 더 컸던 것으로 나타나, 현재까지는 인터넷이 다른 미디어와 상호 보완하는 양상, 피들러(Fidler)의 미디어 변형이론 가운데 공존 공진화 현상을 보여주었다. 응답자들은 평균 2.01개와 2.25개의 오락과 정보 미디어 레퍼토리를 가졌으며 텔레비전, 신문, 인터넷을 두 미디어 레퍼토리의 3대 주요 미디어로 꼽았다. 또한 인터넷 레퍼토리와 사회적, 태도적 변인들간의 상관관계는 최근의 이용 충족이론과 미디어 레퍼토리 연구에서 나타났던 결과들과 일치해 사회적, 심리 태도적 요인들이(친밀도, 접근성, 유용성, 여가시간) 미디어 레퍼토리의 크기에도 영향을 미친다는 사실이 검증되었다.

현재 COVID-19 전염병으로 인해 전 세계적으로 오프라인 상점 대신 소비자는 전자 상거래를 선호하는 추세이다. 이에 실시간 상호작용과 상거래의 통합인 '라이브 커머스'가 각광받고 있다. 국내 라이브 커머스 시장규모가 2023년에는 10조원이 넘어설 것이라는 전망에 비하여 연구가 현저히 적은 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에선 라이브커머스의 가치와 소비자의 동기가 적극적인 소비자 행동인 E-WOM 의도를 어떻게 예측하는지 살펴보았다. 라이브 커머스의 가치로는 쾌락적가치, 실용적가치, 상징적가치와 감정적가치로 분류하였다. 또한 수단-목적사슬 이론 및 이용과 충족 이론을 적용하여 설명하였다. 종속변수인 E-WOM 의도와에 사이에서 라이브커머스의 주역할을 하는 판매자를 매개변수로 설정하였다. 이때 판매자의 상호작용성과 신뢰도로 구분짓고 연구를 설정하였다. 그리고 지각된 위험성을 조절변수로 활용하여 지각된 가치들과 판매자의 사이에서 영향이 있는지 살펴보였다. 본 연구의 설문 응답 대상은 네이버 라이브 커머스 이용 대상자 410명을 대상으로 진행하였다.

Imprecise computation has been suggested as a promising model of real-time computing in order to deal with timing constraints imposed by the environment. However, the theoretical foundation of the technique has not been fully explored. To address this, a decision-theoretic foundation of imprecise computation is proposed. The main benefit of such a treatment is that it enables the qualitative assumptions underlying imprecise computation techniques to be explicitly stated in a formal way. The theoretical foundation laid out in this paper, hence, will not only enable the justification of using imprecise computation techniques for a real-time application, but will also facilitate the development of extended techniques for more complexs real-time systems.

This study aims to redefine Vlog, ASMR, and Muk-bang contents as 'Need Fulfillment Video Contents,' which are emerging as major genres among the video contents. And this study explores the relationships between consumers' motives, viewing satisfaction, and consumers' characteristics such as demographic characteristics, big five personality traits, and individualism-collectivism tendencies in terms of uses and gratifications theory. Statistical analysis techniques such as factor analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used to analyze 441 samples. As a result, age, income level, and collectivism were found to influence consumers' choice of Need Fulfillment Video Content genre. It was also found that the motivation of using Need Fulfillment Video Contents consisted of five factors: self-assessment and improvement, sensory stimulation and relaxation, entertainment, escapism and passing time, and following trends. Also, each usage motive influenced the viewing satisfaction in various ways. Based on the results of the analyses, the study concludes with discussion of the academic significance and practical implications for Need Fulfillment Video Contents industry development.

The charged broadcasting market has been becoming very competitive to get the limited media consumers since IPTV was introduced to the market. This research analyzed the competition among interactive broadcasting media. We employed the niche theory for comparing IPTV with Cable TV and Satellite TV, which are two major existing broadcasting media. For employing the niche theory, we focused on the gratification-opportunity features of the media caused by the consumers' gratification sought: ease of use, interactivity, variety of content, and economic feasibility. The results showed the extent to which media are utilized, the extent to which each pair of media are perceived as similar, and the competitive superiority between each pair of media on each dimensions. Finally, we examined the competition structure of IPTV and other broadcasting media, and proposed the competitive strategy for IPTV to get an advantages.

The change of social media market toward multimedia environment makes users select social media according to preference factor's gratification and this also causes competition among various social medias. So this study focused on competition among social media from the perspective of users' gratification while considering multimedia environment of social media market. The widely known Niche theory is used to confirm competitions among media in an environment with limited resource. According to research result, (1) Facebook and Kakao Talk mostly satisfies users' expectations; (2) Facebook and Kakao Talk form leading group and Blog, Youtube and Twitter form chasing group in this competition; (3) Kakao Talk greatly satisfies users' various expectations. The research result implies that, for social media to have competitive advantage in the market, it is better to provide convenience and real-time responsiveness in mobile environment and to improve service so that users could more easily utilize network.

This study proposed a theoretical framework that could explain the service use of a community informatics. The proposed community informatics use model was developed based on three theoretical models: (1) Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) from social psychology: (2) Uses and gratifications approaches from media use research; and (3) Technology Acceptance Model(TAM) from information technology use research. The proposed model consists of three basic components: expectations of the outcomes from use, approvals from important others, and perceivied controllability over using the service. The initially proposed model was assessed using structural equation modeling, and then re-sepcified in order to propose a better fitting model. The initially proposed and revised community informatics use models were discussed with their theoretical and practical implications.
