초록

본 연구는 상품 특성 및 상황에 따른 선호역전 현상이 선택에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지를 규명하여 소비자 의사결정 논리체계를 살펴보고, 선택변화에 영향을 미치는 변인들을 규명하여 효과적인 의사결정 및 마케팅 전략을 수립하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구의 목적인 소비자 선호역전과 선택변화 간의 영향관계를 확인하기 위해 3가지의 연구문제를 설정하였으며, 범주형 종속변수를 고려하여 다항로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 의료서비스 상품과 일반 제조품의 선호도 감소가 선택변화 및 선택연기에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것을 확인함으로써 연구문제 1을 해결하였다. 그리고 의료서비스 상품에서 속성의 중요도에 따른 선택변화가 일반 제조품에 비해 더욱 민감하게 작용한 반면, 선호역전에 따른 선택변화가 일반 제조품에서 더욱 높게 나타남을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 기존의 선호 및 선호역전 연구와는 다른 관점에서 소비자의 중심가치로서의 선호 개념을 조명하여 선택 간의 인과관계를 확인하였으며, 선호역전에 따른 선택변화 뿐만 아니라 선택연기와 같은 다른 대안까지 포함할 수 있음을 연구결과로 제시함에 따라 그에 따른 이론 실무적 시사점을 제공하는 데 의의가 있다.

This study investigated the effects of preference reversal according to product characteristics and situation. To investigate the relationship between consumer preference reversal and selection change, three research problems were set up and multiple logistic regression analysis was performed considering categorical dependent variables. The results showed that the decrease in preference for the medical service products and general manufacturing products had a significant effect on selection change and selection delay. In addition, we found that selection change according to the importance of attributes in the medical service product was more sensitive than the general product, while selection change according to the preference reversal was higher in general products. This study examined the causal relationship between choices by illuminating the preference concept as the central value of consumers from a different viewpoint than the existing preference and preference inversion research. In addition, the results of this study suggest that it can include not only selective change according to preference reversal, but also alternatives such as selective delay.
