Messages to help people far away, such as International relief campaign, are heavily influenced by situational factors. In this light, the study examined whether the message characteristics (gain/loss framing) and the individual characteristics (previous attitude to helping activity) interact to affect the message attitude and behavioral intention. The study was conducted by an experiment involving 220 subjects. The analysis resulted in the significant interactions between gain/loss framing and pre-attitude by the same direction for message attitudes and behavioral intention. It was shown that gain framing worked more effectively for the relatively more friendly group towards helping activities than for the less friendly one. The same direction was shown in the loss framing, but its difference was smaller. The process of the interactions appeared as mediated by anticipated satisfaction. The practical and theoretical implications were discussed for proper planning of messages to help others.

The primary purpose of this study is to identify the determinants of the users' satisfaction and commitment in personal media. For these purposes, we developed a research model based on the literature reviews of personal media, perceived risk and interactivity, satisfaction, and commitment. This study has identified four dimensions in the concept of perceived risk, such as privacy risk, social risk, time loss risk, and economic risk, and three dimensions in the concept of perceived interactivity, such as active control, two-way communication, and responsiveness. In survey, data were collected from 428 male and female who have an experience in personal media. Data was analyzed factor analysis, reliability analysis, measurement model analysis, and structural model analysis by utilizing SPSS 15.0 and AMOS 5.0 program. Analysis results of research model indicate the following. Firstly, privacy risk, active control, two-way communication, and responsiveness are significantly related satisfaction. Secondly, privacy risk, time loss risk, economic risk, active control, and two-way communication are significantly related commitment. Thirdly, users' satisfaction has positive relationship with commitment in personal media. Based on these results, theoretical implications for relevant researchers and managerial implications for personal media vitalization and marketing strategy are discussed.

본 논문은 픽토그램(Pictogram)의 시각전달 요소를 재해석하고 증강현실 환경에서의 효율적 전달 방법에 대하여 제안한다. 픽토그램은 국경을 넘어 남녀노소 모두가 인지할 수 있어야 함이 규칙이며 불특정 다수라는 사용자들을 위해 정확한 정보를 담고 있는 시각전달 매체로서 공정성, 객관성을 가지고 디자인 되어야 한다. 사용자에게 정보전달 인식을 높이기 위해 표준 픽토그램 과 문화 속에서 발견할 수 있는 행위들을 접목하여 애니메이션으로 제작하고, 이를 다양한 연구분야에서 응용되고 있는 증강현실 (Augmented Reality 또는 AR) 기술에 적용하여 표현하였다. 증강현실은 사용자-콘텐츠 정보전달 매체로서 현실 환경을 기반으로 하는 3 차원공간의 시각정보에 대한 사용자의 인식을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법으로 인간-컴퓨터 상호작용(Human-Computer Interaction)을 제공한다. 본 논문에서 제시된 픽토메이션은 기존 공공장소 어디서나 만날 수 있는 다양한 픽토그램을 패턴화하여 마커로 활용하고 사용자는 현재 널리 보급되고 있는 UMPC 혹은 PDA를 통하여 증강현실 환경에서 제작된 픽토메이션 콘텐츠를 경험해 볼 수 있다. 픽토메이션은 시각커뮤니케이션의 효과를 증가 시킬 수 있고, 정보습득의 주체인 사용자에게 콘텐츠의 종류를 예측할 수 있는 선택의 자유를 준다. 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어디자인 요소를 포함한 콘텐츠와의 실시간 상호작용을 통하여 유희적 요소의 접목을 시도하고 증강현실환경에서 Pictomation을 통하여 사용자들과의 효과적 커뮤니케이션을 위한 방법을 모색하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of perceived social supports(PSS) in SNS on SNS interactions. In addition the present study aims to look for the effect of SNS interactions on the expected level of information authenticity perceived by information users. The results show that the effect of PSS on the desire for self-identity presentation is significant(Hypothesis 1 accepted). It also reveal that the desire for self-identity presentation positively affect SNS interactions (Hypothesis 2 accepted). And the effect of PSS on the SNS interactions is positively significant(Hypothesis 3 accepted). Finally, the degree of SNS interactions positively affect the expected level of information authenticity perceived by information users(Hypothesis 4 accepted). The significance of this study is to extend scope of research which is related with PSS. Especially, present study emphasize the difference between offline PSS and online PSS. And this study make clear the cause-and-effect relationship is at work between online PSS and SNS interactions, unlike preceding researches.

The study empirically analyzed the effects of content attitudes and recall on digital signage advertising appeal (information appeal vs. image appeal) and interactivity level (low vs. high). As a result, first, it was found that a moderately low level of interactivity had a positive effect on content attitudes and recall than when the level of digital signage was extremely high. In addition, at moderately low levels of interactivity, information appeals had higher content attitudes and recalls than image appeals. Second, the content of image appeal has a positive effect on attitude when the digital signage level of interactivity is high, and the image recall ad and information appeal ad have negative effects on recall. Third, the low level of interactivity of digital signage has a positive effect on the content attitude and recall of information appeal. With the advent of digital media in recent years, concerns about how to construct the level of interactivity and information content on a strategic level are increasing in practice. The results of this study are expected to suggest the direction of the strategic grounds for this.
