SNS는 웹을 기반으로 사용자들이 프로필을 창출하고 다른 사람과 커뮤니케이션 할 수 있도록 지원해주는 서비스이다. 지금까지의 대다수 연구들은 SNS의 이용자들이나 그 영향에 관련된 연구 위주로 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 SNS 비이용자도 많으며, SNS이용자라고 해도 모두 SNS를 즐기고 지속적으로 활용하는 것은 아니다. 이와 같은 현상은 SNS사용에 대해 사용자들이 느끼는 혁신에 대한 저항이 존재하기 때문에 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 선행 연구를 바탕으로 시간부족에 대한 지각, SNS에 대한 인지도, 자기효능감, 적합성, SNS에 대한 정보품질, 주관적 규범 및 프라이버시 우려를 지각된 위험과 지각된 유용성의 영향요인으로 선정하였다. 이들 요인이 지각된 위험과 지각된 유용성에 미치는 영향과, 지각된 위험과 지각된 유용성이 다시 사용자 저항에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 중국내 학생과 인터넷 사용자들을 대상으로 실증 분석하였다. 본 논문을 통해 SNS를 사용하지 않는 이유와 SNS 사용에 대한 저항요인을 파악할 수 있다.

2차원문화(二次元文化)는 현재 중국 콘텐츠 시장의 핵심 키워드이다. 중국에서는 2차원문화에 대한 이용자가 날로 증가하며 대중들의 관심이 고조되고 있다. 또한 콘텐츠 시장에서의 인기로 인해 많은 자본을 투자하고 있는 실정이다. 2차원문화가 주류문화로 부상한 이유는 주류 소비자층의 전환뿐만 아니라, 첫째로는 2차원문화가 ACGN(Animation, Comic, Game, Light Novel) 외에도 영화, 공연, 테마파크 등 많은 영역 까지 아우른 거대한 산업사슬을 형성하고 있는 것, 둘째로는 사회적 환경과 충성도가 높은 특정 수용자들로 인해 더욱 더 많은 사람들이 2차원문화 행렬에 가담하고 있는 것, 셋째로는 문화의 전파성이 강한 등 세 가지 특징으로부터 2차원문화 콘텐츠에 있어서 수용자의 역할을 찾아보았고, PEST(거시환경 분석)를 통하여 정치, 경제, 사회, 기술 등 네 가지 측면으로 중국 2차원문화 환경을 분석하였다. 또한 2차원문화 수용자들의 생태환경과 소통방식이 변화되면서 수용자는 능동적 참여자이자 콘텐츠의 재생산자로 부각되었는데, 이러한 수용자 콘텐츠 이용방식을 '탄막(弹幕)'현상으로 살펴보았다. 따라서 본 연구는 중국 2차원문화 환경에서 수용자 중심의 콘텐츠산업에 대한 적절한 발전 경로를 논의하는 시사점이 있다.

Purpose - The objective of this study is to verify whether there are differences between Korean and Chinese consumers in the importance of the attributes such as shopping value and loyalty in social commerce. With the purpose of finding out these differences, the following questions are set up as research questions. First, will there be a difference between Korea and China in the importance of attributes of social commerce? Second, will there be a difference between Korean and Chinese consumers in shopping value? Third, will there be a difference between Korean and Chinese consumers in their loyalty? Research design, data, and methodology - The researchers collected data through self-administered questionnaires from Korean and Chinese consumers who had used social commerce within the past six months before answering the questionnaire. First, for social commerce users in Korea, comprising male and female university students in Chungcheong, a questionnaire was circulated. For social commerce users in China, university students within Beijing were surveyed. Responses to 336 questionnaires were used, excluding those with no answers or unreliable answers. Data coding and data cleaning were used. SPSS 18.0 was used. First, exploratory factor analysis is done to verify the validity of testing tools, and Cronbach's α coefficient is used to verify credibility. For factor analysis, the Varimax method is used. To verify the internal consistency reliability of each factor, the Cronbach's α coefficient is used to verify the credibility. Second, a T-test is done to verify differences between Korean and Chinese consumers for the importance of attributes. Third, ANOVA (Analysis of variance) is done to verify differences between Korean and Chinese consumers in shopping value and loyalty. Results - When Korean and Chinese consumers use social commerce, first, the importance of the attributes of social commerce is affected by four factors; playfulness and economic factors are more important to Korean consumers than Chinese consumers. As for informativeness factors, including product information and quality, and buyer comments, there was no confirmed difference between Korean and Chinese consumers. The convenience factor is more important to Chinese consumers than Korean consumers. Second, the factors affecting shopping value for Korean and Chinese consumers were hedonic shopping value and rational shopping value. To see the difference between Korean and Chinese consumers in shopping value factors, a t-test is conducted. As a result, in the rational shopping value factors of social commerce, Korean consumers scored higher than did Chinese consumers. These results were verified to be meaningful through statistics. In the hedonic shopping value factor of social commerce, Korean consumers scored higher than Chinese consumers. These results showed a significant difference.

The purpose of this study is to verify the extended technology readiness and acceptance model according to the characteristics of technology for the continuous use motive of SNS users. In particular, we conducted a comparative study on the differences in technology readiness and acceptance model between countries through the empirical analysis of the users of SNS in Korea and China with different technological and cultural environments. The results of this study are as follows; First, Positive technology readiness index has a positive effect on performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions, which are variables of UTAUT. Positive technology readiness also has a positive effect on Enjoyment, which is added in this study. Second, negative technology readiness index has negative effect on performance expectancy and social influence, which are variables of UTAUT. In addition, negative technology readiness index has not a significant effect on enjoyment, which was added in this study. Finally, the relationship between technology readiness index, motivation for technology acceptance, and continuously intention to use has a partially different influence on the Korean and Chinese users. Based on the results of this study, this study suggested academic implications and practical implications.
