본 연구는 소비자의 불평토로성향을 유발하는 동기적 네트워크로서 성격특성변수들을 한국과 미국 소비자들을 대상으로 비교하였다. 연구모델의 검증결과 전반적으로 불평토로성향은 두 문화 간에 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 가치의식성, 자기효능감, 감정적 불안정성, 물질적 욕구는 불평토로성향과 긍정적으로 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반대로 일처리의 신중함은 불평토로성향과 부정적인 관계인 것으로 나타났다. 한국과 미국소비자의 가장 큰 차이점은 '쇼핑을 즐기는 성향' 이었다. '쇼핑을 즐기는 성향'은 미국집단에서는 불평토로성향과 부정적인 관련이 있는 것으로 나타난 반면, 한국집단에서는 관련이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 즐거움을 위해 쇼핑하는 소비자들은 쇼핑에서 긍정적인 감정을 추구하려 하기 때문에 부정적인 감정을 유발하는 불평토로성향과는 부정적인 관계인 것으로 보인다. 그러나 이러한 부정적인 관계가 한국 소비자에게 나타나지 않은 이유는 쇼핑환경의 차이인 것으로 보인다. 교환 및 환불이 미국보다 용이하지 않은 한국에서는 소비자들이 쇼핑의 즐거움과 불평토로를 별개로 지각하거나, 또는 쇼핑을 즐길수록 제품이나 서비스에 불만족할 기회를 더 많이 접하기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 고객의 불평토로행동은 기업이 미처 알지 못하는 불만족 원인들을 이해하고 복구기회를 제공함으로서 기존고객을 유지할 수 있게 해준다. 그런데 상당수 소비자들은 과연 자신의 불평토로행동이 효과가 있을까 혹은 불평토로행동에 소요되는 시간적 경제적 비용 등을 고려하여 불평을 토로하지 않는다. 마케터는 불평토로성향을 유발하는 소비자의 성격특성에 대하여 이해함으로써, 불만족한 고객이 자신의 경험을 이야기하도록 북돋워주는 메시지를 개발하거나 기업의 불평처리시스템을 개선할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to examine: (1) the relationships among two dimensions of children's perfectionism (both self-oriented and socially prescribed), and levels of depression, anxiety, and self-esteem; (2) whether or not self-esteem mediates the relationship between children's self-oriented perfectionism, and depression and anxiety; and (3) whether self-esteem mediates the relationship between socially prescribed perfectionism, and depression and anxiety. The participants were 406 fifth and sixth graders. Their data were collected with questionnaires. It was found that there are significant correlations between children's self-oriented perfectionism, and depression and self-esteem, and there are also significant correlations between children's socially prescribed perfectionism, and depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. It was also found that self-esteem mediates the relationship between the two dimensions of children's perfectionism, and depression and anxiety. These results seem to indicate that enhancing healthy self-esteem could lower the risks of experiencing depression and anxiety in children with perfectionistic personality.

Consumers want to express their original unique personality, and even are willing to endure high expenses in order to do this. One noticeable strategy in the market, used by companies to suit for this consumer sentiment, is that of employing limited edition marketing and limited free gifts. This study investigated the effects of limited free gifts on consumer response. Specifically, the present study examined how the need for uniqueness moderated the effects of limited free gifts on brand commitment and attitudes. The online survey method was used to gather the data and a total of 224 data were used to analyze data. The results of the research were as follows. The findings revealed four dimensions of limited free gifts: scarcity/specialty, not for sale, complementarity, and risk. Complementarity positively affected brand commitment, while all four dimensions of limited free gifts positively influenced brand attitude. In addition, the need for uniqueness was proven to be the strongest variable which positively influenced brand commitment and attitudes. Also, when the need for uniqueness was applied as a moderating variable, depending on the levels of the need for uniqueness, the effects of riskiness on the consumer's response were shown to be different. The findings of this study infer various academic and practical applications.

Owing to increased number of luxury brand users, both genuine and counterfeit luxury product consumption continues to increase every year. Luxury brand is defined as use or display of a particular branded products which brings the ownership prestige apart from its functional utility(Grossmand and Shapiro 1988). Some luxury brands have imitations sold in marketplace due to their popularity. These imitations or counterfeits have been jumping on the bandwagon of the upturn in sales of their originals. The purpose of our study is to understand consumer's underlying motives to consume luxury brands, genuine and or counterfeits. To do this, we propose functional theories of attitudes, decision-making styles, and life attitudes to form the determining causes for different consumption choices of luxury brands: genuine brands, counterfeit brands, both genuine and counterfeit brands, and no consumption on luxury brands types. In proposed causal pathways, we examine moderated effects of socio-psychological factors to further investigate if consumer profiles would exert influences in causal relationships. From the existing theories of functional attitudes: value-expressive and social-adjustive attitudes, we developed and introduced a new measure of rationality-consumptive attitude. From the existing eight decision-making characteristics of consumer styles inventory(CSI), three measures of high-quality, hedonic-shopping, and price-shopping styles were primarily applied in the study along with newly introduced measure of 'high-price' being added, which makes four total. Seven life attitude measures of life purpose, life control, will to meaning, goal seeking, future mean to fulfill, life satisfaction, and religiosity were applied. Finally, such socio-psychological measures as age, gender, marital status, income, and age-gap between couples were assumed to function as moderators. With 430 valid study samples, ages from 20s to 50s, with more females(316) than males(114), with average personal possessions of 5 genuine and 9 counterfeit luxury brands, we conducted questionnaire survey. Results indicated that social-adjustive function is totally disappeared in the relationship due to current social trend of widespread consumptions on both genuine and counterfeit brands which in turn, make consumers feel less special on wearing or carrying them unlike in the past. Self-expressive function and rationality-consumptive functions act as strong catalysts for genuine brand consumption and counterfeit brand consumption, respectively. On consumers' decision-making styles, high-price sublation is the most powerful indicator anticipating counterfeit consumption, even more powerful than personal incomes. In life attitude, the overall model fit was not validated, and only life control and life satisfaction are proven to be significant on both genuine and counterfeit product consumptions. Employment of socio-psychological factors in the model improved understanding of users further. Young consumers tend to go for genuine products over counterfeits. Consumers in different income groups; low, medium and high, all significantly consume genuine products for reasons of different decision-making styles. The results indicated that consumers whose personal disposition is predisposed to consume products in the form of reflection of his or her personality, go only for genuine brands for quality reason, while consumers who rationally consume products for its function or usability, go only for counterfeits for high-price sublation reason. Meanwhile, both product users support for high-price orientation who are not well off.

本研究的焦点是品牌的拟人化. 品牌拟人化被定义为将品牌看作是人类. 具体来说, 本研究的目标是理解如何将品牌拟人化的方法. 通过分析消费者对食品包装上的故事的阅读, 我们试图展示行销者和消费者如何将一系列品牌拟人化并创造意义. 我们的研究问题是一个品牌对不同的消费者具有多个或单一意义, 联想, 个性的可能性. 我们首先强调了本研究在理论和实践方面的重要性, 解释了为什么我们关注作为品牌意义传递工具的包装. 然后我们阐述了我们量性研究方法, 讨论了结果. 最后总结了管理方面的启示和对未来研究的建议. 本研究先让消费者直接阅读品牌意义传递的工具然后让这些消费者口头自由表达他们所感受到的意义. 具体来说, 为了获得有关感知意义的数据, 我们要求参与者去阅读选择的品牌食品包装上的非营养的故事. 包装在消费者研究方面还没有得到足够的关注(Hine, 1995). 直到现在, 研究还是仅关注包装的实用功能并形成了探索营养信息的影响的研究主体. (例如Lourei ro, McCluskey and Mittelhammer, 2002; Mazis and Raymond, 1997; Nayga, Lipinski and Savur, 1998; Wansik, 2003). 一个例外是最近的研究, 将注意力转向非营养信息的包装说明, 并视其为文化产品和将品牌神话的工具(Kniazeva and Belk, 2007). 下一步就是探索这些神话活动如何影响品牌个性感知以及这些感知如何与消费者相关. 这些都是本研究所要强调的. 我们用深度访谈来帮助消除量性研究的局限性. 我们的便利样本的构成具有人口统计和消费心态学的多样化以达到获得消费者对包装故事的不同的感知. 我们的参与者是美国的中产居民, 并没有表现出Thompson(2004)所描述的 "文化创造者" 的极端生活方式. 九名参与者被采访关于他们食品消费偏好和行为的问题. 他们被要求看看12个展示的食品产品包装并阅读包装上的文字信息. 之后, 我们继续进行关注消费者对阅读材料的解释的问题. (Scott and Batra, 2003). 平均来看, 每个参与者感知4-5个包装. 我们的深度访谈是一对一的并长达半个小时. 采访内容被录音下来并转录, 最后有140页的文字. 产品赖在位于美国西海岸的当地食品杂货店, 这些产品代表了食品产品类别的基本范围, 包括零食, 罐装食品, 麦片, 婴儿食品和茶. 我们使用Strauss和Corbin (1998)提出的发展扎根理论的步骤来分析数据. 结果表明, 我们的研究不支持先前的研究所假设的一个品牌/一个个性的概念. 因此我们展示了在消费者看来多个品牌个性可以在同一品牌身上很好的共存, 尽管行销者试图创造更多单一的品牌个性. 我们延伸了Fournier's (1998) 的假设, 某人的人生计划可以形成与品牌关系的强度和本质. 我们发现这些人生计划也影响感知的品牌拟人化和意义. Fournier提出了把消费者人生主题(Mick和Buhl, 1992)和拟人化产品的相关作用联系在一起的概念框架. 我们发现消费者人生计划形成了把品牌拟人化和品牌与消费者现有的关注相关联的方式. 我们通过参与者发现了两种品牌拟人化的方法. 第一种, 品牌个性通过感知的人口统计, 消费心态学和社会个性所创造. 第二, 第二, 在我们的研究还涉及到品牌的消费者所存在的问题与消费者的个性被混合, 以连接到他们(品牌为朋友, 家庭成员, 隔壁邻居)或远离自己的品牌个性和疏远他们(品牌作为二手车推销员, "一群高管".) 通过关注食品产品包装, 我们阐明了非常具体的, 被广泛使用, 但很少深入研究的营销传播工具: 品牌故事. 近期的研究已经视包装为神话制造者. 对行销者来说要创作出和产品及消费它们的消费者相连的文字故事的挑战越来越大, 并建议 "为创造需求的消费者神话的构成材料的多样化是后现代消费者可论证的需求"(Kniazeva和Belk, 2007). 作为叙述故事的的工具, 食品包装可以食品包装可以用理性和感性的方式, 为消费者提供无论是 "讲座" 或 "戏剧"(Randazzo, 2006), 神话(Kniazeva and Belk, 2007; Holt, 2004; Thompson, 2004), 或意义(McCracken, 2005) 作为他们拟人化产品的构成材料. 孕育工艺品牌个性掌握在作家/营销人员手中, 在读者/消费者心目中. 这些消费者会赋予品牌有意义的脸谱.

As more companies become interested in global markets, it has become crucial for firms to create globalized brands whose positioning, advertising strategy, personality, looks, and feel are consistent across nations. The purpose of this study is to investigate the global branding strategy of the Hyundai Motor Company (hereafter HMC) in order to show how the company processes its branding strategy. HMC, one of the leading global companies in the automobile industry, set up its brand identity as "Modern premium", in alignment with their new slogan "New Thinking New Possibilities", in 2011. The aim of the "Modern premium" concept was to provide consumers with new experiences and values beyond their expectations. HMC wanted their consumers to think of their cars as not only a medium of transportation but as a life space, where they can share experiences alongside HMC. In an effort to conduct consumer research in 5 different nations, HMC selected "brilliant" as a key communication concept. The word "brilliant" expresses the functional, experiential, and emotional dimensions of HMC. HMC furthermore chose "live brilliant" as a key campaign message in order to reinforce their communication concept. After this decision, the "live brilliant" campaign was exhibited through major broadcast channels around the world. The campaign was the company's first worldwide brand campaign, where a single message was applied to all major markets, with the goal of building up a consistent image as a global brand. This global branding strategy is worth examining due to its significant contribution to growth generation in the global market. Overall, the 'live brilliant' global brand campaign not only improved HMC's reputation image-wise, with the 'Modern Premium' conceptualization of the brand as 'simple', 'creative' and 'caring', but also improved the consumer's familiarity, preference and purchase intention of HMC. In fact, the "live brilliant" campaign was a successful campaign which increased HMC's brand value. Notably, HMC's brand value increased continuously and reached 9 billion US dollars in 2013, leading it to reach 43rd place in the Global Brand Rankings according to the brand consulting group Interbrand. Its brand value largely surpassed that of Nissan (65th) and Chevrolet (89th) in 2013. While it is true that the global branding strategy of HMC involved higher risks, it was highly successful according to cross-nation consumer research. Therefore, this paper concludes that the global branding strategy of HMC made a positive impact on its performance. We further suggest HMC to combine its successful marketing with social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and embrace digital media by extending its brand communication horizon to the mobile internet

The purpose of this research is to scrutinize the cyclist's consumer behavior by analyzing the eWOM information search behavior of cycle-wear according to benefits sought and involvement. The research was conducted through an online survey and the respondents were 291 men who wore cycle-wear and searched information via online. The results of this research are as following. First, the benefits sought from wearing cycle apparel are composed of five sub-factors such as, ideal body figure, brand ostentation, comfort ease, personality, and economic feasibility. In addition, the cycle-wear involvement consisted of two sub-factors: cycling involvement and fashion involvement. Second, the eWOM information search behavior of cyclists was different depending on the benefits sought by the cyclists. When the cyclists pursued ideal body figure they searched more information of design and color, while cyclists put more weight on the information of design, color, and brand when they sought brand ostentation. Moreover, the valence and the type of the information were dissimilar depending on the benefits sought. Third, the sub-factors of eWOM information search behavior affected the eWOM effect distinctively. The price information was the only factor that influenced the eWOM effect among the contents of the information. The valence of the information influenced the eWOM effect, and the effect of positive information was stronger than negative information. Additionally, the subjective information also affected the eWOM effect. Lastly, the effect of the benefits sought influencing the eWOM information search behavior varied by the difference of the cycle-wear involvement. For example, when they are both high in the involvement there were various benefits sought affecting the eWOM information search behavior. However, when only the cycling involvement was high, and they pursued personality, the price information was not important to them.

본 연구는 문화예술상품 소비자 연구를 위한 개념적 구조를 마련하고, 문화예술상품 생산기관 및 문화예술정책기관과 문화예술을 활용하는 기업의 문화마케팅의 효율성을 위하여 문화예술정책기관에 실무적 시사점을 제시하기 위하여 실시되었다. 현대소비문화 속에서 문화예술상품 소비자의 가치인식과 추구혜택을 사회적 맥락에서 심층적으로 파악하기 위해, 문화예술상품 소비자를 대표할 수 있는 10대부터 50대까지의 남녀 58명을 12개의 그룹으로 나누어 총 12회에 걸친 표적집단면접(FGI)를 실시하였다. 문화예술상품은 예술가의 정신적·관념적 창작행위나 그 결과물인 작품에 경제적 교환가치가 부여되어 소비되는 상품이다. 문화예술상품의 특성을 바탕으로 문화예술상품에 대한 소비자의 가치인식의 개념구조를 알아본 결과 '실제적·개인적 가치재', '사회적 공공재', '미학적·감각적 경험재'로 나타났으며, 경험적 소비재의 관점에서 문화예술상품 소비 추구혜택의 개념구조를 알아본 결과 '예술적 특성지향', '사회적 관계지향', '개인적 유익지향'의 방향성을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 문화예술상품 소비에 대한 이와 같은 소비자의 가치인식과 추구혜택의 개념구조는 합리적 소비, 기호 상징적 소비, 경험적 소비, 반성적 소비라는 복합적인 현대소비문화가 반영된 것으로 해석 할 수 있다. 문화예술상품에 대한 소비자 가치인식과 추구혜택의 관계를 개념적으로 분석한 결과 문화예술상품 소비자의 가치인식에 따라 추구혜택이 다르게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 문화예술상품에 대한 소비자의 가치인식이 추구혜택의 특성을 형성하며, 소비를 결정하고 문화예술상품을 선택하는데 있어서 중요한 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 시사하는 것이다. 본 연구 결과로 나타난 가치인식과 추구혜택의 개념구조는 문화예술상품 소비자 연구의 측정도구 개발에 사용될 수 있으며, 기업의 효율적인 문화예술마케팅 전략 및 소비자 중심의 문화예술상품 생산과 국민의 삶의 질을 향상시키고자 하는 국가기관의 정책 수립에 필요한 소비자 정보로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
