Fashion stress is a pertinent aspect of modern consumer culture that has been underexplored in academic research. This study developed a conceptual framework of fashion stress and a multidimensional scale to measure consumers' fashion stress. The qualitative study included literature reviews on consumption stress, shopping stress, and consumer behavior, as well as focus group interviews to gain insight into various dimensions of fashion stress. NVivo 12.0 was used to analyze the qualitative data and identify core categories following the grounded theory methodology. The quantitative study involved a preliminary and a primary surveys to verify the validity and reliability of the fashion stress scale. A total of 220 questionnaires were used for data analysis. The results show that fashion stress consists of eight factors: care, shopping, fit, brand, financial, closet, style, and disposal. Choice difficulty plays a significant role in all factors of fashion stress. Moreover, shopping stress had a negative impact on impulse buying, while other factors such as fit, brand, closet, and disposal stress had a positive impact on impulse buying. Thus, fashion stress is a potential antecedent of impulsive consumer behavior. The results also confirm the validity and reliability of the scale. The fashion stress scale developed in this study offers researchers a valuable tool for assessing and understanding consumer experiences.

The growth of Internet usage even accelerated by the spread of high-speed Internet access network such as ADSI is affecting our socioeconomic activities and culture in a great way. Korea is recently reported to be the number one high-speed Internet network subscription per 100 people in the world. In a way to reflect this situation, we collect a moderate size of sample proportional to the population of each region across country and investigate what factors might explain the level of user's dissatisfaction with respect to Internet service they have been receiving. The results indicate that the set of gender, age, Internet usage, service kinds, incoming e-mails, and e-shopping is significantly influencing user's dissatisfaction, in that dissatisfaction is measured in 11 perspectives. In particular, user's age, gender, and e-shopping experiences are considered to be mostly explainable.

오늘날의 소비자들은 가격, 제품의 품질 등 실용적 가치 보다 쇼핑의 즐거움, 라이프스타일의 구현, 매력적인 점포쇼핑환경, 브랜드 애착심 등의 정서적 가치를 더 중요하게 생각하고 있다. 이처럼 소비자들은 단순히 상품만을 구매하기보다는 다양한 가치를 얻기 위해 쇼핑을 한다는 사실은 여러 연구에서 제안되었다(안광호와 이하늘 2011; Mathwick 등 2001). 이렇듯 소매점포 선택과 관련한 소비자행동차원의 쇼핑경험가치와 브랜드자산에 대한 중요성과 관심이 높아지고 있지만 관련 연구는 미미한 실정이며 이와 관련한 비교문화적 연구는 매우 미비한 실정이다(황순호 2010). 본 연구는 한국과 중국의 소비자들의 소매점포 선택과 관련한 소비자행동연구의 필요에 의해 시작되었다. 또한 소비자행동분야에서 소비자 경험이 중시되면서 소매점내 쇼핑경험가치에 초점을 맞추었다. 본 연구는 정치, 경제, 사회, 문화적으로 서로 다른 한국과 중국의 소비자들을 대상으로 대형할인점 소매점포에서 고객들이 지각하는 쇼핑 경험가치와 브랜드자산과의 관계를 밝혀내고 이를 통해 점포 충성도와의 관계를 찾아내어 소매점의 쇼핑 경험가치와 관련된 시사점을 찾아내기 위한 국가 간 비교 연구를 시도하였다. 본 연구는 이론적 배경으로 쇼핑가치와 유통브랜드 자산, 그리고 점포 충성도에 대한 이론적 배경을 소개하였으며, 가설 검증을 위한 자료 수집을 위하여 한국과 중국의 대형할인점 고객들을 대상으로 한국과 중국의 대도시 (서울 과 북경) 소비자들을 표본프레임으로 설정하고, 대면 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구의 결과 한중간 소비성향 차이 비교에 대한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 한국소비자와 중국 소비자 간의 소비성향차이를 검정한 결과 중국 소비자들은 심미적 소비성향과 상징적 소비성향의 평균값이 한국 소비자들에 비해 높게 나타났으며 한국 소비자들은 쾌락적 소비성향이 중국소비자들에 비해 상대적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 대형할인점에 대한 한국과 중국의 브랜드 자산 지각에 대한 연구결과 중국에 비해 한국 소비자들이 브랜드 인지와 브랜드 이미지를 모두 높게 지각하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 한국과 중국에서 편의점과 할인점 이용 고객들이 지각하는 소매점에서의 쇼핑경험에 대한 탐색적 요인분석결과 각각의 국가에 따라 각기 다른 쇼핑경험가치가 나타났다. 한국의 할인점에서는 소비자이익 가치, 심미성가치, 유희성 가치가 중요한 쇼핑가치로 도출되었다. 또한 중국의 할인점에서는 유희성 가치, 심미성 가치, 소비자이익 가치, 서비스우수 가치가 중요한 쇼핑경험가치로 도출되었다. 이러한 연구의 목적에 대한 실증적 분석을 바탕으로 한국과 중국의 대형할인점 소비자들의 쇼핑경험가치과 브랜드자산을 바탕으로 한국의 대형할인점에 있어서 경험가치의 이론적 중요성에 관한 새로운 통찰력을 제공하여 주며 충성도 제고에 있어서 브랜드관리의 중요성에 대한 이론적 시사점을 제공하여 준다. 이와 더불어 유통의 국제화 시대에 있어서 대형할인점의 국제화에 요구되는 한국과 중국 간의 고객 가치의 차이점에 대한 비교문화적 관점에서 중요한 실무적 시사점을 제시한다. 즉, 해외유통전략을 실행하는데 있어서 쇼핑가치에 기반한 현지화 전략의 중요성에 대한 시사점을 제시하여 주며 국가차원에서의 차별적 유통전략의 개발 필요성을 제안하여 준다.

With the explosive growth of the Internet, Internet shopping malls have become recognized as one of the major purchasing channels for consumers, as well as one of the competitive distribution channels for companies that allow them to contact with customers without intermediaries. It has motivated information systems(IS) researchers to examine the factors influencing consumer behavior and the purchase decision process in the context of Internet shopping malls. Despite the extensive research that has been conducted on the purchase decision process of consumers in online shopping malls, the results have demonstrated a need for further understanding of consumer behavior due to the unique features of virtual space and the characteristics of online consumers. Previous studies from marketing and consumer behavior domains have suggested that the concept of involvement plays an important role in explaining consumers' purchase behavior. Despite the critical role of involvement and the explosive growth of e-commerce, little research has examined the role of involvement in the Internet shopping mall context. With this motivation, this study has two research objectives. First, it introduces and tests an theoretical model capable of better explaining consumers' intention to purchase in the Internet shopping mall context. The proposed model extends and integrates existing models on purchase intention by incorporating purchase experience, innovativeness, and perceived self-control as the consumer factors, along with perceived risk, information provision, and perceived price as the Internet shopping mall factors. Second, this study examines how involvement differences may affect consumers' intention to purchase. For this purpose, two factors from involvement theory, involvement type and involvement level, are introduced into the research model as moderating variables. In order to test the proposed model, the overall approach employed was a field study using the structural equation model. We developed our data collection instrument by adopting existing validated questions wherever possible. All question items were measured with a seven-point, Likert-type scale, with anchors ranging from 'strongly disagree' to 'strongly agree.' Two IS researchers reviewed the instrument and checked its face validity. We collected empirical data for this study over a period of two weeks from subjects who had purchase experiences through Internet shopping malls. A total of 473 complete and valid responses were obtained. We carried out data analysis using a two-step methodology with AMOS 4.0. The first step in the data analysis was to establish the convergent and discriminant validity of the constructs. In the second step, we examined the structural model based on the cleansed measurement model. The empirical results partly support the proposed model and identify the moderating effect of involvement differences. Theoretical and practical implications of the study are discussed, along with its limitations.

본 연구는 Schmitt (1999)가 제시한 전략적 경험 모듈을 기반으로 하여 사전 쇼핑 경험, 점포 내에서의 선호경험, 그리고 점포분위기에 대한 반응으로 구성된 변수들을 중심으로 시간적인 관점에서 백화점, 대형마트, 인터넷점포의 3개 점포를 대상으로 점포별 쇼핑의 사전경험의 정도와 이에 따른 선호 쇼핑경험에 대한 관계, 그리고 선호 쇼핑경험과 충동구매행위와의 관계를 검증하려는 목적을 가진다. 또한 쇼핑경험의 공간적 특성을 고려하여, 조명, 실내색상, 실내장식, 제품진열과 같은 점포내 분위기에 대한 감성적 반응과 충동구매간의 관계를 검증하고 경험적 차원에서 선호경험과 충동구매간의 조절역할에 대해서 조사한다. 세부적 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대형마트에서는 사전쇼핑경험수준에 따라 인지적 쇼핑경험이 감성적 경험보다 더 선호되었으나, 백화점의 경우에는 사전 경험이 많을수록 감성적 경험을 선호하는 것으로 판명되었다. 둘째, 고객이 선호하는 쇼핑경험과 충동구매간의 관계에 대한 가설 검정결과 감성적 쇼핑경험은 충동구매에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 반면 인지적 쇼핑경험은 충동구매에 부정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 점포분위기에 대한 감정반응이 감성적 (인지적) 쇼핑경험과 충동구매간 관계를 조절한다는 가설은 부분적으로 지지되었는데 백화점에서는 제품진열이 감성적 경험과 충동구매와는 부(-)의 조절역할을 보였으며, 실내장식은 인지적 경험과 충동구매 간에 부(-)의 조절역할을 하였다. 대형마트에서는 실내색상이 감성적 경험과의 부(-)의 조절역할을 하였고, 제품진열은 정(+)의 조절 역할을 하였다.
