Abstract

According to consumer behavior theory, human propensity can be divided into two regulatory focus types: promotion and prevention. These two types have much influence on the consumer's decision in many diverse areas. In this research, we apply regulatory focus theory to personalized recommendation to minimize the cold start problem and to improve the performance of recommendation algorithms. To achieve this goal, we extract the consumer behavior variables and information exploration activity index from web shopping logs. We then use them for classifying regulatory focus of the consumer. This research has the contribution to show the possibility of systematization of consumer behavior theory as an interdisciplinary research tool of social science and information technology. Based on this attempt, we will extend the research to IT services adapting theories on other areas.

소비자 행동이론에 따르면 사람의 성향은 향상초점과 예방초점이라는 두 가지 조절초점 유형으로 나누어지며, 이 두 가지 성향은 다양한 영역에 있어서 소비자의 의사결정에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 개인화 추천에서 Cold Start 문제의 최소화 및 추천 알고리즘 성능 개선을 위하여 조절초점이론을 적용한다. 이를 위하여, 웹쇼핑 로그로부터 소비자 별 행동변수, 정보탐색활동성 지수를 추출하고 이를 활용한 소비자 조절초점성향 분류 방법을 제안한다. 본 연구는 사회과학/IT 융합 연구로서 소비자행동 이론의 시스템화 가능성을 입증하였다는 점에 있어서 의의를 지니며, 향후 다양한 분야의 이론들을 적용한 IT 서비스에 대한 연구로 확장하고자 한다.
