This study conceptualized the factors affecting college students' consumer decision-making styles from the perspective of consumer socialization. A number of antecedent variables identified by preceding studies (age, gender, place where one grew up, job experience, main reason for working, amount of allowance, family income, socio-economic status) and socialization agents such as family, peers, mass media were included in the analysis. This study extends previous studies by examining a theoretical link between the antecedent variables and socialization agents. Three hundred and forty one undergraduate students in Daejeon were participated in this study. Stepwise multiple regression md path analysis were conducted. The results of this study are as follows: 1. Six consumer decision-making styles were identified. 2. The influence of the socialization agents, especially mass media and several antecedent variables, especially gender and main reason for working, played important roles in consumer decision-making styles. 3. Several antecedent variables, especially gender and family income, were related only with the influence of socialization agents. 4. Six path-analysis models that illustrate the relationships among the antecedent variables, the socialization agents and consumer decision-making styles were proposed.

In this study, the propensity for symbolic consumption is defined as the propensity to consume products through their affective, subjective, and symbolic value rather than through their practical and utility value. The data used in this study were collected from 509 adolescents who are in the 2nd grade of middle or high schools in Pusan. The research results can be summarized as follows: 1. The propensity for symbolic consumption were found to have significant differences according to sex, father's education, mother's education, mother's job, and monthly allowance. 2. It differs significantly according to adolescents' self-esteem. That is, the lower self-esteem adolescents have, the higher propensity for symbolic consumption they show. 3.

This study examines the effects of consumer socialization on Korean adolescent impulsive buying behavior. The current study used the third and sixth waves from the Korean Education and Employment Panel (KEEP) survey that has been administered by the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training since 2004. The subjects were high school juniors and university sophomores in 2006 and 2009, respectively. The final sample for panel regression analysis included 1,718 individuals. Two major agents of socialization (school and parents) were utilized in our model. Parent financial behavior (if the parents had savings) and the effectiveness/helpfulness of economics education in middle or high school were included in our estimation model. Two categories were included as individual factors: (1) psychological aspects and personal traits covering variables such as stress from self-image, academic stress, self-regulation, and a tendency of risky behavior and (2) financial behavior and attitudes, which include work experience, amount of money in hand, shopping habits, and if parental financial support is expected after high school graduation. The results from a random effects model revealed that the effects of consumer socialization through school was marginally significant, while through parents was not. Stress from self-image and the level of self-regulation were found to be significant. Neither risky behavior nor academic stress were a significant factor for impulsive buying behavior. The amount of money available in hand and shopping habits showed a significant influence. Implications for educators, parents and policy makers are identified.

본 연구의 목적은 청소년의 사회화에 중요한 학교 몰입 중 행동적 몰입에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 선행변인에 대한 검증에 있다. 선행변인은 사회화의 주체가 되는 청소년의 개인특성과 학교현장의 사회적지지라고 할 수 있는 또래지지와 교사지지로 범주화하여 설정하였다. 개인특성에는 강점인식 및 활용과 학습목표지향성을, 또래지지에는 또래의 강점지지와 또래 학업지지를, 교사지지에는 교사의 강점 지지와 관점변화지지를 하위요인으로 설정하였다. 본 연구를 위해 전국에 재학 중인 고등학생 539명을 대상으로 설문을 실시하여 자료를 수집하고 그 중 33명을 제거, 506명의 데이터로 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 개인특성의 하위요인으로 설정된 학습목표지향성만이 행동적 몰입에 정적으로 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 연구결과를 바탕으로 연구의 시사점, 제한점 및 향후 연구과제에 대해 논의하였다.
