Abstract

Previous research found that merely touching an object can create psychological ownership and the endowment effect. It was also found that just imagining touching an object without actually touching the object can make the same effect on psychological ownership. Prior research on haptic imagery examined the effect of haptic imagery induced by direct instruction of imaging on psychological ownership. We investigate a new method which can induce the haptic imagery in a more natural way than direct instruction of imaging. We manipulated imagery conditions such as visual-haptic congruence multimodal cue, visual-haptic incongruent multimodal cue, direct instruction condition and control condition, and examined the effects on imagery vividness, feeling of physical control, perceived ownership, and purchase intention. We conducted the experiment on 140 undergraduate students and our results showed that visual-haptic congruence multimodal cue condition is more effective than direct instruction of haptic imagery while visual-haptic incongruence multimodal cue condition is not effective. Our study extends prior haptic imagery research by making important marketing implications for online retailing.

기존 연구들은 단순히 실물을 만지는 것만으로도 그 대상에 대해 심리적 소유감이 형성되고 그 가치를 높게 평가하게 되는 소유효과가 발생한다는 것을 발견하였다. 또한 단순히 만지는 상상을 하는 경우에도 실물을 만지는 것과 같은 효과가 나타난다는 것이 발견되었다. 기존의 촉각적 심상화 연구에서는 실물을 만지는 상상을 하라는 직접적인 지시에 따른 촉각적 심상화의 효과를 밝혔으나 본 연구에서는 실물을 만지는 상상을 하라는 직접적인 지시보다 촉각적 상상을 자연스럽게 유도할 수 있는 효과적인 방법을 탐색해보았다. 상상유도 조건을 상품에 대한 시각적, 촉각적 단서가 일치하는 다중감각 단서 일치 조건, 불일치하는 다중감각 단서 불일치 조건, 상상하라는 직접적 지시 조건, 통제조건으로 조작하여 촉각적 상상의 생생함, 물리적 통제감, 지각된 소유감, 구매의도에 미치는 효과를 비교하였다. 140명의 대학생을 대상으로 실험을 실시하여 분석한 결과, 시각적 단서와 촉각적 단서가 일치하도록 제공한 다중감각 단서는 촉각적 상상을 직접적으로 지시하였을 때보다도 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며 시각적, 촉각적 단서가 불일치한 경우는 효과적이지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 촉각적 심상화 연구에서 한걸음 나아간 시도이며 온라인 쇼핑과 같이 실물을 보거나 만질 수 없는 환경에서의 상품 제시 방법에 대한 함의점을 제공하는데 의의가 있다.
