Abstract

■ Both countries’ samples rated the self-directed values more important. ■ Among female consumers in China, clothing is regarded as asymbolic medium to demonstrate one’s social status/image, while in Korea, clothing is more an important medium to fulfill one’s desire for change, newness or emotional expression. ■ Korean female consumers seem more demanding (product quality & emotional satisfaction). ■ Experiential needs were a strong, more universally common motivator for apparel purchase.
