소비자가 제품을 대할때의 감정은 제각기 다르게 평가되어 나타난다. 즉, '무엇인가 재미있는 기능이 있을 것 같다', '직접 만져보고 촉감을 느끼고 싶다' 등 구매를 결정하는 다양한 동기가 존재한다. 이와같은 동기를 유발시키는 제품 이미지는 어떻게 '은유(metaphor)'되고 평가되어 인간의 'Mental Image'에 존재하는가? 본 연구에서는 이러한 측면에 문제의식을 제기하여 제품에 대한 '연상 이미지', '제품요소의 특징적 위치' 및 '제품평가' 등을 주요 골자로 하여 고찰을 실시하였다. 명쾌한 결론 도출을 위해 먼저 3개의 가설(hypothesis)을 설정하고, 이를 검증(verification)하기 위하여 종결적 조사(conclusive research)의 일환으로 사례연구를 실시하였다. 수집된 데이터는 단순집계(simple tabulation)에 의하여 전체적인 흐름을 파악하였고, 이를 토대로 3개의 조사항목에 대한 구체적인 분석을 실시하였다. 분석방법은 소비자의 심리적인 측면을 고려하여 정량적 분석(quantitative analysis)에 중점을 두었다. 그 결과 'Mental Image의 평가를 위한 추론'에 관해 중요한 3가지 결론을 얻었다.

새로운 기술의 발달과 소비자들의 다양한 요구로 인해 기업들은 소비자들의 시선을 끌기 위해 다양한 차별화 전략을 고심하고 있다. 제품의 아이덴티티나 브랜드 이미지 또한 이러한 차별화 전략 중의 하나로 제품에 새로운 가치를 부여하는 주요한 수단이 되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 소비자에게 형성된 브랜드 이미지 중에서 제품을 사용하면서 형성된 감성적인 이미지를 브랜드 감성 이미지라고 정의하고, 사용자가 제품을 사용하면서 느끼는 여섯 가지 대표감성을 평가하여 국내 대표 휴대폰 브랜드 세 개(A브랜드, C브랜드, S브랜드)의 감성 이미지를 비교해 보았다. 휴대폰을 실제 사용하고 있는 사용자들이 휴대폰을 사용하면서 느꼈던 감성을 평가해 봄으로써 국내 휴대폰 브랜드의 이미지, 특히 감성적인 측면에서의 이미지를 평가해 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과만으로 성급하게 국내 휴대폰 브랜드의 감성 이미지를 규명하기에는 다소 미흡하지만 향후 연령대, 직업, 성비 등 다양한 인구통계학적 변수를 고려하여 연구를 진행한다면 보다 명확한 브랜드 감성 이미지를 추출할 수 있으리라 기대한다.

이미지에 대한 연구는 그동안 사회학, 심리학 및 마케팅 분야 등에서 행해져 왔으나 각 분야의 연구의도나 목적에 맞는 이미지 개념을 적용시켜 왔기 때문에 이미지에 대한 공통적인 개념을 규정하기는 쉽지 않다. 최근 감성공학에서 출발한 감성평가를 통해 제품의 이미지를 객관적으로 평가하려는 노력들이 시도되고 있다. 본 연구는 우리나라 중년 여성들의 라이프 스타일을 몇 가지 유형으로 분류한 후, 이에 따른 패션제품에 대한 이미지 선호도를 밝히고자 하였다. 연구 방법은 선행 자료의 분석을 통한 문헌연구와 설문지법을 통한 실증 연구를 병행하였다. 연구 대상은 만 35$\sim$59세 여성으로, 총 352부의 자료를 분석에 사용하였다. SPSS 11.0과 SAS for program 8.1 version을 이용하여 통계처리 하였다. 그 결과 패션 제품에 대한 이미지를 품위성, 대담성, 실용성, 여성성의 4개 인자로 하였다. 또 라이프스타일의 유형을 전통보수형, 소극정체형, 적극생활형, 외모중시형의 4개 집단으로 분류하였다. 분류된 라이프스타일 유형에 따라 선호하는 패션제품에 대한 이미지를 살펴 본 결과 전통보수형은 품위 있으며 실용적인 이미지의 패션 제품을 선호하였고, 소극정체형은 모든 패션 제품에 흥미를 보이지 않으나 여성스러움을 다소 추구하였다. 적극생활형은 대담한 이미지의 패션 제품을 선호하였으며, 외모과시형은 여성스러우며 다소 품위 있고 대담한 이미지를 선호하였다.

The purpose of this study was to propose a brand image profile by analyzing how the consumer perceived the rival brands having relative structure between corporate image, store image, and. product image. Fifty-two questions were prepared for the respondents, and 262 questionnaires were selected for analyzing. The data were analyzed by a frequency, a mean, a reliability, and a paired t-test of the SPSS 12.0. The results were as follows : 1. As influence rank of the brand image, a product image had greatest influence followed by a store image and a corporate image. 2. The factors, which were regarded as important from consumer, and satisfaction of those factors were evaluated. As a result of the analysis, the degree of satisfaction of the factors was relatively low than that of the importance. It was proved that the important factors of the brand's image and the degree of satisfaction of the factors were not the same from this study.

본 연구에서는 자아이미지와 기업이미지와의 일치성 측면에서 기업이미지와 제품에 대한 태도와의 관계를 살펴보았다. 특히 실제적 이미지와 사회적 자아이미지로 구분하여, 일치성의 조절효과에 대해 살펴보았다. 연구결과를 사회적 기업의 책임활동이 기업이미지에 미치는 영향은 사회적 이미지에 미치는 영향요인 일부를 제외하고 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 실제적 자아이미지 일치성은 기업이미지 가운데 기업활동행위와 사회공헌행위가 제품태도에 미치는 영향을 조절하는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose - This study presents the relationships between parent brand-self image congruence, parent brand -functional congruity, perceived fit between parent brand and extension product, and consumer's attitude toward extension product using the structural equation model. As for preceding concepts having a direct effect on consumer's attitude toward brand extension, the study focuses on parent brand-self image congruence and parent brand-functional congruity. It also looks at the effect of parent brand-self image congruence and parent brand-functional congruity on the consumer's attitude toward extension product and identifies if the perceived fit between parent brand and extension product is a concept playing a mediating role between parent brand-self image congruence or parent brand-functional congruity and consumer's attitude toward brand extension product. Research design, data, and Methodology - SPSS for Windows 18.0 and AMOS 18.0 were used for data analysis. Then, the Cronbach's α coefficient was obtained using SPSS for Windows 18.0 to measure reliability. In addition, the convergence and discriminative measures of the measured items were statistically verified using AMOS 18.0. Finally, we have validated a path model and a parameter model in which brand personality-self-matched attitude toward brand extension. Results - Studies have shown that the impact of parent brand-self image consistency and parent brand-functional consistency on the attitude of extended products was positive. Perceived fit between parent brand and extension products has been shown to play a role of intermediary between parent brand-self image congruence and consumer attitudes to extended products. However, perceived fit between parent brand and extension products did not play a role as intermediary between the parent brand-functional congruity and the attitude toward the extended product. Finally, in relation to the causal relationship between parent brand-congruity (self image/functionality) and attitudes to extended products. The effect of parent brand-functional coherency on attitudes toward extended products was found to be greater in groups with higher involvement than in those with lower involvement. Conclusions - Although few studies have been done on what variables mediated when parent brand-self image consistency and parent brand-functional coherency affect consumer attitude, this paper is significant in finding whether perceived fitness between the parent brand-congruity and the extension product is mediated.

This research shows how fashion curation service consumers (both fashion and image consultants) reveal different aspects towards a preferred image type among the correlation of fashion curation service usage motivation and fashion shopping propensity. These preferences also included the purchase intentions for fashion display service products. This study surveyed 300 men and women between the ages of 20-30 who were the main consumers of fashion curation services. 'Convenience, fashion trend, and exploratory' increased purchase intentions for fashion shopping propensity, 'information search for utility, entertainment, and personal expression' increased purchase intentions for fashion curation services and 'brand identity, consumer lifestyle, and product information' increased factors for the fashion curation service preferred image type. Consumer preferences varied according to different fashion curation service image type; however, all consumer group syndicated a difference in fashion curation service actions. For instance, fashion curation service consumers preferred a consumer lifestyle image, convenience, hedonic shopping orientation, and personal expression motivation had a positive influence on product purchase intention. However, the shopping orientation of 'fashion trend, practical information exploration, and entertainment motivation' had an optimistic influence on product purchase intentions for fashion curation service consumers who preferred a brand identity image and a product information image.
