초록

본 연구는 최근 급부상하고 있는 가상 인플루언서의 특성이 소비자에게 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이를 위해 가상 인플루언서에 대한 소비자의 지각된 매력과 사회적 거리를 독립변인으로하여 정보수용의도의 변화를 살펴보았다. 실제 소비자들이 가상 인플루언서에 대해 매력적이라고 느낄수록, 사회적 거리를 가깝게 지각할수록 정보수용의도가 높아지는 것을 발견하였다. 그러나 가상 인플루언서를 매력적이라고 지각하는 경우에는 사회적 거리에 따른 정보수용의도의 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 반면 가상 인플루언서가 덜 매력적이라고 인식하더라도, 사회적 거리를 가깝게 인식하는 경우에는 그렇지 않을 때보다 정보수용의도가 높았다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 가상 인플루언서의 마케팅 전략에 시사점을 제공하였다.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the characteristics of virtual influencer, which are rapidly emerging in recent years, affect consumers. To this end, the change in information accecptance intention was examined using the perceived attractiveness and social distance of consumers toward virtual influencers as independent variables. I found the more attractive consumers feel about virtual influencer and the closer they perceive social distance, the higher the intention to accept information. However, when virtual influencer was perceived as attractive, there was no difference in information acceptance intention according to social distance. On the other side, even if the virtual influencer was perceived as less attractive, the information acceptance intention was higher when the social distance was perceived as close than when it was not. Based on these results, I provided implications for the marketing strategy of virtual influencers.
