Consumers focus on information about the symbolic meaning of a product for highly involved and emotional products (such as cosmetic products). This study examines the effectiveness of the congruence between cosmetics advertising image and self-image on consumer attitudes. In addition, this study examines two additional moderating effects, which are 'product type' and 'message type'. For the experiment, four advertizing type factorial designs were performed. A total of 320 undergraduate female students in Korea participated in the experiment. This study captured the subjective judgments of consumers on these three comparisons in terms of advertizing attitude, brand attitude, and purchase intention. The results are as follows: First, the greater the self-congruity on cosmetic advertising, then the greater the effectiveness on advertizing attitude. Second, the increased self-congruity on cosmetic advertising did not create greater effectiveness on brand attitude. Third, increased advertizing attitudes on the congruence between cosmetics advertising image and self-image increased the effectiveness on brand attitude. Fourth, increased advertizing attitudes on the congruence between cosmetics advertising image and self-image improved the effectiveness on purchase intention. Fifth, the greater the brand attitude (on the congruence between the cosmetics advertising image and the self-image produced)increased the effectiveness for purchase intention. The results show a significant moderating role of the product type. Marketers can use the results of this study to understand the market of cosmetic products for promotion.

This study explores the effect of moral identity on attitude toward and purchase intention of upcycled fashion products by comparing purchasers and non-purchasers. Data from 127 purchasers and 307 non-purchasers collected through a survey was analyzed using descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, model invariance check, and multiple-group comparison tests using Amos 23.0. Results indicate consumers with purchase experiences of upcycled fashion products showed a higher level of moral identity (internalization and symbolization), positive attitude toward upcycled fashion products, and purchase intention than did consumers with no purchase experience. In model tests, internalization affected attitude toward purchasing upcycled fashion products, whereas symbolization affected purchase intention, regardless of purchase experience. The effect of symbolization on purchase intention was consistent with prior studies focusing on charity behaviors that are highly visible to others. These findings demonstrate that fashion products are visible and symbolic, so it should be carefully considered in ethical consumption studies. From these results, researchers may obtain insights on the process of how consumers apply moral identity to their purchase intention regarding upcycled fashion products. Likewise, marketers may enhance satisfaction of consumers with a high level of symbolization by putting special tags and logos that clearly highlight the products' upcycled nature.

이모티콘은 가상공간에서 자신의 정서와 감정 등을 나타내는 상징적 장치로 모바일 시장의 성장과 사용량의 증가에 따라 그 형태 또한 다양하게 변화 되어왔다. 이에 따라 국내에서는 이모티콘과 관련된 연구들이 이루어지고 있으나 기호의 조합으로 이루어진 이모티콘 형태와 이모티콘의 기능적 측면에 중점을 두었다는 한계점이 존재한다. 따라서 본 연구는 사용자 측면에 집중하여 (1) 현재 가장 보편화된 이미지 형태의 이모티콘 이용 동기에 대해 알아본 뒤 (2) 이용 동기에 따른 이미지형 이모티콘 이용 태도와 행태를 탐색적으로 알아보고자 하였다. 더불어 기존 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 (3) 성별과 친밀도에 따른 이미지형 이모티콘 이용 태도와 행태 차이에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과 이모티콘 사용자들의 이용 동기는 크게 감정 표현, 친밀감 표현, 이미지 관리, 문장 보완으로 추출되었다. 이 중 감정 표현과 친밀감 표현 동기가 이모티콘 이용 태도와 빈도에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 사용자와 대상간의 친밀도가 높은 경우 긍정적인 이모티콘 이용 태도를 갖고, 빈번하게 이모티콘을 사용한다는 사실을 발견할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 모바일 시장에서 커뮤니케이션 도구로 성장하고 있는 이모티콘의 사용자 동기를 알아보고, 동기와 대상간의 친밀도가 이용 태도와 행태에 미치는 영향을 알아봄으로써 실무적 함의를 제시하고자한다.

본 연구는 전통춤에 나타난 대표적인 동물을 나열하여 그것이 상징하는 문화기호학적 표상에 관해 연구함으로써 한국인의 동물숭배사상과 삶의 철학을 의미화하고 한국전통예술의 정체성을 논의해 보았다. 이는 한국 문화와 예술에 관한 근원을 묻고 동물모방의 표상에 대해 문화고유의 철학적 사유를 공감하기 위함이다. 이에 한국의 동물 모방춤은 단순한 문화적 코드를 넘어서 춤에 투영되는 있는 한국인의 예술적 가치인식을 엿볼 수 있었다. 즉 주술과 성적인 은유 뿐 아니라 자연친화적 삶을 통한 순응적 태도와 현실에서의 윤리적 실천을 우선으로 예술적 미의식이 고취됨을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this dissertation is to exam-ine the hippie look which is one of the most popular fashion trends in the early 90s, in re-lation to the hippie style in 60s and cultural restoration. in order to investigate the re-lationship this dissertation studies the trans-feral phenomenon of anti-fashion into mother fashion in the basis of social and clutural theories. hippie culture is the anti-culture which appeared in America in the late 60s, it tried to create a new culture by subverting the ruling class culture with their combative life style and peculiar appearance which are distinguished from mother culture. First of all to examine the inner symbolic meaning and outer shape of the hippie style I divided the characteristics of the hippies into ideology social value and attitude on sex. in the aspect of ideology the hippie show strong subjectivity while mother culture shows ob-jectivity. in social value the hippie has the resisting chaacteristics while mother culture has the conformative characteristics. In the aspect of sex the hippie tries to break the fixed idea of mother culture. Hippie culture as anti-culture is symbolically expressed in hippie style fashion which is dif-ferent from mother fashion in shape. There-fore the inner meaning and the outer shape of the hippie style shows strong characteristics of anti-fashion. Hippie style as anti-fashion has an effect on high fashion in the late 60s and the early 70s and on hippie look which is restored in 90s. however hippie-look in 90s is a mother-fashion in which all symbolic mean-ings of the hippie style are weakened and the only outer shape of hippie style is presented and suggested. It doesn't show any cultural backgrounds ideology social value and new attitude on sex of the hippies. The transferal phenomenon of anti-fashion into mother-fashion is summarized as follows. First in the process of tranference to highfashion in 60s and 70s and hippie-look in 90s the resistance of the hippie style is weakened and only suggested through the outer look. Second the hippie style which reappeared in the high fashion and mother fashion in 90s are layered look military uniform mode flower print grunge look romantic look peasant look ethnic look gypsy style handicraft ornaments working suit style handicraft ornaments working suit style and the use of the see-through cloth. Third the fact that the popular and high fashion were influenced by anti fashion in 60s proves filter-up theory in fashion adaption theory. As I examined before the ideology of the hippies are faded in high fashion in 60s-70s and hippie-look in 90s. The symbolic meaning of the hippie style is also weakened and only presented as a fashion trend.
