The perceived quality is a concept considered from the consumer's perspective. So it is differ from the objective determination of product quality. Thus the consumer perception of quality is a subjective judgement of an individual and an overall feeling on the characteristics which includes the product's reliability, performance and so on. In terms of product perception, consumers utilize the product cues in evaluating the product's quality before the purchase and the cues reflecting the quality can be classifisied into intrinsic and extrinsic ones. When the quality perception is limited to the purchase situation, purchase decision dependent on surrogate indicators such as price, are inclined to increase due to the lack of information. Therefore in this study the perceived quality of apparel is controled to the purchase situation in order to examine the consumer's reaction to the price cues and for the convenience of the exploratory investigation. As a result of the empirical study, consumers show differences in quality and value perceptions to the product with the same price depending on the perception whether the price is high or low. The apparel quality evaluation process goes through the steps of "product attributes - perceived quality - perceived value - purchase intention".

The success of apparel goods mainly depends on the purchase behavior of end use consumers. The decision making processes of apparel merchandise are very complicated according to the many information cues available to the consumers. The country-of-origin is one of the extrinsic cues to affect the consumers 'decision. To study the effect of country -of-origin, the Polo style knit shirts were chosen as stimuli to the male and the female subjects (total 527) aged from 18 to 35. The identical nine shirts (3 countries$\times$3 levels of price) were carefully manipulated for the treatments. The three countries labelled are Italy as industrialized country, China as less developed one, and Korea. In addition to the country-of -origin, the prices of the shirts were exposed to the respondents. The price levels were 14,000 won for the low, 39,000 won for the moderate, and 64,000 won for the high price level. The findings were as follows: 1) As price was increased, the perceived value and purchase intention were decresed. Price was not statistically significant to perceived quality, but it was significant to perceived value and willingness to buy. 2) The merchandise of "Made in Italy" was evaluated higher than those of "Made in Korea" and "Made in China" The country-of-origin had statistically significant influences on the perceived quality, perceived value and also willingness to buy. 3) The interaction between the two factors, country-of-origin and price, was not observed.n and price, was not observed.

본 연구는 소비자들이 제품을 평가하는 과정에서 각 유형의 단서정보들이 평가과정에 어떻게 영향을 주는지를 살펴 봄으로써, 이론적으로는 정보단서와 관련하여 소비자의 제품평가 및 판단과정을 설명하는 기본적인 틀을 제시하고, 이를 통해 기업의 마케팅 및 광고전략에 대한 관리적 시사점을 제공하였다. 본 연구에서 이용된 단서의 유형은 외재적 단서(extrinsic cues)와 내재적 단서(intrinsic cues)를 이용하였다(Olson 1972; Olson and Jacoby 1973). 분석결과에 따르면 비전문가의 경우 내재적 단서는 제품평가에 영향을 미치지 못하지만 외재적 단서는 제품평가를 좀 더 우호적으로 수행하는 역할을 하였다. 이와는 달리 전문가는 외재적 단서가 아닌 내재적 단서가 제품평가에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 전문가는 내재적 단서 관련 사고를 더 많이 하며 강한 내재적 단서에 접근 가능할수록 그 성향이 증가하나 비전문가의 경우에는 외재적 단서 관련 사고를 더 많이 함으로써 외재적 단서를 더 많이 처리한다. 그러나 비전문가는 전문가와는 달리 외재적 단서의 강도가 단서 관련 사고의 수를 증가시키지는 않는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 전문가는 내재적 단서관련사고의 우호성이, 반대로 비전문가는 외재적 단서관련사고의 우호성이 제품평가에 미치는 영향을 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 소비자의 제품평가과정에서 단서의 효과에 따른 영향을 제시해주는 유용한 개념적인 틀이 될 것이며 향후 연구에서 다양한 확장연구가 필요할 것이다.

기존자료에 의하면 우리나라 유통업체 상표가 제조업체 상표에 비해 평균 23.3% 저렴하여 가격경쟁력을 갖는다고 한다. 하지만 유통업체 상표가 소매점 매출에서 차지하는 비율은 미국의 경우 25-30%에 육박하는 것으로 추산되는데 비해 우리나라는 아직 4% 정도로 미미한 수준이다. 그 이유를 본 연구에서는 유통업체 상표가 갖는 정보의 단서효과에서 찾고 있다. 유통업체 상표가 갖는 정보단서가 이의 선호로 연결되는 과정을 지각가치의 수단-목표모델로 설명하여 10개의 가설을 설정하였다. 가설은 E-마트 서부산점에서 포장소비재를 구입한 소비자를 대상으로 검증하였는데, 그 결과 중 흥미로운 것은 다음과 같다. 먼저, 외재단서 중 상표태도가 유통업체 상표의 정보단서로서 가장 중요하며, 지금까지 연구되지 않았던 내재단서가 정보단서로 중요함이 새로 밝혀졌다. 다음으로, 제조업체 상표를 준거가격으로 사용하는 지각가격도 유통업체 상표의 정보단서로 중요하였다. 끝으로, 정보단서와 선호를 연결하는 지각가치를 구성하는 두 요소인 지각품질과 지각희생 중 지각품질만이 유통업체상표 선호와 정(+)의 관계를 보여, 혁신층에 가까운 4%는 위험추구적 성향이 강함을 시사하고 있다.

Objective: Understanding consumer perception of meat quality in developing countries is an important issue since consumer perception of quality could be highly variable. In the current study, consumers' purchasing preferences affected by marbling and perception of quality were evaluated in a survey study. Furthermore, consumers' preferences for degree of doneness were investigated using both survey and consumer panel studies. Methods: The study was carried out in two phases. Firstly, a survey was conducted in Adana Province, Turkey to collect data related to the attributes affecting consumers' meat purchase decision and consumers' degree of doneness preferences. In the second phase, boneless ribeye was used to investigate consumers' degree of doneness preferences in a consumer panel. In addition, proximate analyses of the samples were conducted. Results: The survey study using pictures of marbling illustrations indicated that higher degrees of marbling might be considered too fatty to be purchased by consumers. Consumers' perceptions regarding the relationship between marbling and beef quality further indicated that marbling might not be acknowledged as a cue of a higher quality meat. Nevertheless, the results of the importance of some attributes related to intrinsic and extrinsic quality cues showed that consumers were looking for the cues that indicated not only quality but also safety of the meat during meat purchase. The results of both survey and consumer panel studies revealed that consumers might prefer higher degrees of doneness while consuming meat since a majority of the consumers' preference of degree of doneness was at least well done. Conclusion: This study revealed that consumer purchasing preferences might vary between countries regarding marbling and perception of quality. Furthermore, higher degrees of doneness could be the preference of these consumers. Thus, further studies are needed to increase consumer satisfaction in these countries.

Neural cell survival is an essential concern in the aging brain and many diseases of the central nervous system. Neural transplantation of the stem cells are already applied to clinical trials for many degenerative neurological diseases, including Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, and strokes. A critical problem of the neural transplantation is how to reduce their apoptosis and improve cell survival. Neurotrophic factors generally contribute as extrinsic cues to promote cell survival of specific neurons in the developing mammalian brains, but the survival factor for neural stem cell is poorly defined. To understand the mechanism controlling stem cell death and improve cell survival of the transplanted stem cells, we investigated the effect of plausible neurotrophic factors on stem cell survival. The neural stem cell, HiB5, when treated with PDGF prior to transplantation, survived better than cells without PDGF. The resulting survival rate was two fold for four weeks and up to three fold for twelve weeks. When transplanted into dorsal hippocampus, they migrated along hippocampal alveus and integrated into pyramidal cell layers and dentate granule cell layers in an inside out sequence, which is perhaps the endogenous pathway that is similar to that in embryonic neurogenesis. Promotion of the long term-survival and differentiation of the transplanted neural precursors by PDGF may facilitate regeneration in the aging adult brain and probably in the injury sites of the brain.

This study investigates the ultimate factor structure of consumer dissatisfaction with the off-line purchase and usage of clothing. It identifies the determinant dimensions of consumer dissatisfaction on clothing purchase and usage and investigates the hierarchical structure of consumer dissatisfaction by assessing and comparing the effectiveness of five alternative factor structure models. A total of 300 women were online-surveyed to assess the level of dissatisfaction based on their dissatisfying experience with clothing purchases and usage in terms of product quality, price, salesperson's attitude, and store environment. The exploratory factor analysis identified the underlying dimensions of dissatisfaction: Handling, Aesthetics, Salesperson, Size, Price, Product Quality, Service, and Environment. By employing a first-order confirmatory factor analysis and higher-order confirmatory factor analysis, consumer dissatisfaction was confirmed to have a hierarchical structure with three second-order constructs Intrinsic instrument is manifested by handling, quality, and size, Intrinsic expression consists of service, salesperson, and environment, and Extrinsic circumstance contains aesthetics and price. On empirically demonstrating the multi-dimensional constructs of consumer dissatisfaction by identifying its hierarchical structure, the study provides the theoretical and practical insights to comprehend consumer purchase and post-purchase behavior. Specifically, it affords an empirical platform to extend the scope of research with condensed concepts of dissatisfaction to researchers. In addition, it also enables marketers to take a broader view of consumer dissatisfaction by providing cues about potential problems and identifying the source of those problems.

Our study was designed to provide some insights on positive country image and the mechanisms of influence that Asian fashion industries can draw upon for future benefit. We focused on a country image and fashion products with Asian ethnic influence. Asian traditional costume elements reflected in contemporary fashion products may be important representative tools for national cultural identity. This study qualitatively investigated how and to what extent country image and additional information influence the evaluation of fashion products influenced by Chinese, Japanese, and Korean traditional dress. We conducted four focus-group interviews (FGI) with 30 students from a fashion program at a university in the United States. We analyzed the evaluation of fashion products influenced by Chinese, Japanese, and Korean traditional dress, and their associations with country image. Our qualitative analysis offered more developed empirical evidence for the various paths through which country image affects the evaluation of fashion products influenced by the ethnic dress of Asians. The results of our study showed that the more direct the source of prior knowledge, the larger the influence on product evaluation. This study showed that certain cues in the evaluation of fashion products with Asian ethnic influence induce changes in the affective state (that stem from the psychological and social nature of fashion products) and illustrate the necessity of considering the affective processes involved in the appropriate use of the country image. In the fashion industry, extrinsic properties such as the country image significantly influence the attitude and purchasing decisions of consumers. The significance of this study lies in its verification of the relationship between the country image and additional information. Modular and situational-contextual influences are also revealed as important factors that deserve more attention, as well as considerations regarding the dimensions of the country image described in attitude theory.
