The purpose of this study is to identify the relationships among information search activities, of which perceived risk, cognitive dissonance, and involvement play a role. A survey of 155 students who have a recent experience on information search activities. Total six hypotheses the research already reported on information search effort, thereby giving decision maker a richer understanding of information search behavior.

소비자들은 구매의사결정 시에 불확실성이나 위험을 직면하게 되는 데, 이를 최소화 시키는 방안의 하나로 구매의사결정을 하기 전에 정보를 수집하고 탐색행동을 수행하게 된다. 정보탐색 노력은 크게 두 가지 수준으로 구분할 수 있다. 즉, 단순히 자신의 과거 제품사용 경험에 의존하는 소극적인 내부정보 탐색 노력 수준과 판매점 방문, 광고매체의 정보탐색, 주변사람의 의견청취 등 적극적인 외부 정보탐색 노력 수준으로 나뉘어 진다. (중략)

The purpose of this study was to explore whether the concept of amount of invested mental effort (AIME) developed in the field of educational psychology can help explain why people put so little effort into online searching. In this experimental study, two information retrieval systems - a web search engine and a university library system - were used to make a comparison. The data were collected from 15 undergraduate students through background questionnaires, think-aloud protocols, search logs, post-search questionnaires, and post-task interviews. The findings indicate that perception of the web's "easy-ness" and high levels of self confidence in searching capability led the subjects to put less effort into web searching than they do into library system searching. In addition, the perceived difficulty of search task influenced the extent of mental effort invested. The AIME proved a useful framework for understanding search behavior and user experience for both web search engines and library systems.

The aim of this study is to identify how searchers reflect the search goal requirements associated with search questions in process and outcome. One query which has two different search goal requirements was given to subjects, that is, one is to increase high precision and the other is to increase high recall. Using ERIC ONTAP file through DIALOG online search system, 54 subjects conducted online searches twice for the high precision search and for the high recall search. Subjects employed significantly different search strategies, invested significantly different efforts, and achieved significantly different results between the high precision and the high recall search.

In this paper, we conducted for information search process of users, who have experience to buy paid-application in Appstore, to find out difference of information searching efforts and information sources, reliance on the information in term of attributes of Apps and buyes' innovativenss. As a result, Innovative buyers take a effort to search various information source but they get help buying decision-making supports by own their efforts like searching in category. On the other hand, non-Innovative buyers who search informtion less than Innovative buyers, get information like recommendation from friend and Apps, then they keep those information help buying decision-making supports highly. Besides buyers of Utility Apps search on objective information sources mainly, but those sources have influence on buying decision-making supports. On the other side buyers of Enjoyment Apps consider reliance on the information more than information searching efforts to buying decision-making supports as they get information source like popularity. This research suggests operators of Appstore and app developers how to promote their Apps to users.

This study explored factors affecting consumer's external information search effort on online shopping malls through three approaches(cost-benefit approach, psychological motivation approach, and web-site theory approach) respectively, and designed the integrative model through searching the relationships among them. In this study search motivation are designed to be explained by search benefit and search cost that are explained by factors related to the web site and search efforts are designed to be explained by search benefit, search cost and search motivation. The results from our empirical research showed that search motivation, search benefits and prior knowledge on online shopping malls have a direct effect on consumer external information search effort. On the other hand, it was verified that the search motivation was affected by search benefits and purchase involvement, and the search benefits are directly influenced by purchase involvement, constructive simplicity, search convenience and trust. In addition, purchase involvement, time press, constructive simplicity and search convenience had direct effects on the search cost.

Tourism information related to the selection and the images formation of tourist destinations is getting more important in tourism industry, and the problems of information overflow is also on the rise simultaneously. And this information overflow can affect the tourists' cognition, emotion and attitudes about tourism information. The objective of this study is to assess their information overload on tourism information on tourists' emotion, attitude and information searching effort. Data were collected from total 438 people with 224 people at public spaces in Seoul, Korea and 214 people at public spaces in Xi'an, China. This study conducts confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis and structural equation modelling to verifying 5 hypothesis related to information overflow. The main results of the study show that the cognition of information overload can lead to positive effect to tourists' positive emotion, attitude and searching effort.

인터넷 도구 중의 하나인 탐색엔진은 월드 와이드 웹의 보편화와 함께 중요한 매개체로 자리잡고 있다. 탐색엔진은 서비스 제공형태에 의해 크게 분류체계 제공형과 주제어 검색 제공형으로 나뉘어 지는데, 분류체계 제공형 엔진에 대한 연구는 그 이용빈도에 비해 부족한 편이다. 따라서, 인터넷 이용자의 탐색노력을 줄이는데 보다 유용한 분류체계 제공형 엔진에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 분류체계 제공에 중점을 두고 있는 국내외의 대표적인 탐색엔진 6종과 문헌 분류이론인 KDC와 DDC를 선정하여 그 분류체계를 비교ㆍ분석하여 적합한 형태의 탐색엔진 분류체계의 모형을 구축하고자 한다.
