Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the relationships among information search activities, of which perceived risk, cognitive dissonance, and involvement play a role. A survey of 155 students who have a recent experience on information search activities. Total six hypotheses the research already reported on information search effort, thereby giving decision maker a richer understanding of information search behavior.

본 연구는 정보탐색 노력에 대해 정보의 모호성으로 인해 발생하는 불확실성의 지각, 불협화음의 인지, 그리고 관여정도가 작용하게 되는 역할에 대해 살펴보았다. 본 연구가설의 검증을 위해 정보탐색의 경험이 있는 155명의 설문을 활용하였다. 정보탐색 노력에 영향을 미치는 요인들로 정보의 모호성으로 인한 지각된 불확실성수준, 불협화음의 인지, 그리고 관여정도로 파악되었다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 정보의 모호성으로 인해 나타나는 정보탐색 과정에 이러한 요인들이 어떠한 관계를 갖고 있으며 그 차이점을 제시하여 정보탐색 행동을 이해하는데 새로운 방향을 제시하였다고 본다.
