Since Korean housewives are responsible for the dietary practices of family at home, it is important to know what information will make them to buy safe food. This study was designed to determine the role of perceived threats, behavioral assessments, and self-efficacy factors known to promote healthy behavior in health belief models (HBM) based on food safety awareness and behavior of housewives. This study involved 191 housewives, based on key variables such as perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, and purchase behavior. The results showed that higher levels of education and urbanization increased the threat perception and the likelihood of buying safe food. The correlation analysis showed that increased awareness and knowledge of safe foods and interest in health contributed to higher relative benefit or self-efficiency of food, and thus, ensured food safety. The conceptual model of food safety behavior based on the HBM was verified via structural equation analysis. The findings suggest that a suitable model showcasing knowledge levels and relative benefits resulted in a greater impact on purchasing behavior than perceived threats. This study suggests that it is more effective for housewives to provide more preventive information than risk information to purchase safe food.

최근 소비자들은 쾌적한 삶의 추구와 가족 중심적 사고로 여가와 레저를 중시하고 물리적 가치보다 정보가치와 시간가치를 더욱 중요시하여 쇼핑에서도 편익성을 추구하는 경향이다. 이와 함께 국내의 소비생활 양식이 서구형으로 변화하고, 교육기회의 증가, 신용사회의 정착, 정보화 사회의 출현 등 홈쇼핑 시장의 성숙조건이 갖추어져 있어 홈쇼핑에 대한 수요는 더욱 증가할 것으로 기대된다. 이에 본 연구는 홈쇼핑으로 의류제품을 구매하는 소비자의 특성을 파악하여 홈쇼핑 활성화에 다소 도움을 주기 위하여 실시되었다. (중략)

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅이 생활의 일부가 되어가면서 정보의 양도 급속도로 늘어나고 있으며, 이로 인해 많은 데이터 속에서 정보를 찾아내는 기술이 부각되고 있다. 고객 기반의 협력적 필터링을 이용한 고객 선호도 예측 방법에서는 아이템에 대한 사용자의 선호도를 기반으로 이웃 선정 방법을 사용하므로 아이템에 대한 내용을 반영하지 못할 뿐만 아니라 희박성 문제를 해결하지 못하고 있다. 그리고 비슷한 선호도를 가진 일부 아이템의 정보를 바탕으로 하기 때문에 아이템의 속성은 무시하는 경향이 있다. 본 논문에서는 유비쿼터스 상거래에서 RFM(Recency, Frequency, Monetary) 분석 기반의 SOM을 이용한 군집방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 고객의 구매 데이터 기반의 유사한 속성의 데이터끼리의 클러스터링을 통해 보다 빠른 시간 내에 고객 성향에 맞는 추천이 가능한 구매 패턴 추출이 가능하다.

추천자 시스템은 E-commerce 사이트에서 소비자가 관심을 가지는 상품에 대한 정보를 수집하여 소비자가 구매할 것으로 예상되는 상품을 추천하는 목적으로 개발되었다. 추천자 시스템을 구축하여 성공적으로 활용하기 위해서 해결해야 할 과제로 취급 상품이 대량인 경우에 알고리즘의 효율성 문제라고 볼 수 있는데 본 연구는 문서 검색에서 사용되는 LSI(latent semantic indexing) 분석법을 이용하여 추천자 시스템을 개선하는 방안을 연구하고자 한다. LSI 분석법을 이용하여 고객-상품 구매행렬에서 고객이 상품을 구매하는 경향을 효과적으로 파악할 수 있다면 목표고객에 대한 인접고객군을 생성하는 계산 노력은 현저히 감소되어 추천자 알고리즘이 실시간으로 고객 데이터베이스로부터 많은 인접 고객을 효율적으로 검색할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구는 E-commerce 사이트로부터 얻는 실제적인 고객 자료와 유사한 자료를 시뮬레이션을 통하여 재생하고 이를 바탕으로 LSI에 의한 추천자 시스템의 효율성을 분석하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was firstly, to explore the design preference, consumer experience and purchasing factors of parents for smart animal toys and secondly, investigate whether there is a difference by children's sex and age. For this purpose, the questionnaire survey was conducted with 344 parents of younger children in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. As a result, the white or brown colored 20~30cm, dog-type smart toy was preferred and the sound was considered as the most important function. Besides role of toy, smart toy was expected to play as a pet, a friend and a younger sibling. Actually, dog-type smart toy were most frequently purchased. And main satisfied causes were fun, interactivity and design and dissatisfied causes were noise, price, battery life and durability of purchased smart toys. Finally, the important factors in purchasing smart toy were the safety, durability, battery life, sustainable play, education and washability. The parents' preference, customer experience and purchasing factors showed little significant differences according to the sex and the age of the children. This research will be useful in understanding parents purchasing activity of smart animal toys and provide valuable data for function construction, design and service planning necessary to develop the smart animal toy.

This study is an online survey for consumers in the metropolitan areas of Japan and Korea, which are advanced countries in Asia, and the maturity of the automobile market. The purpose of this study is to compare the results of Korea and Japan. As a result of this study, we analyzed the differences between the consumer characteristics and the optional attribute factors of low-carbon automobiles of Korea. There was a difference. It was found that the factors of low carbon car selection attribute differed with age, and that stability was more important when selecting low carbon car as income level increased. In Japan, there were no differences in the selection attribute factors of low carbon cars by gender, age and income. In addition, there is no difference in the relationship between the future purchase timings of low-carbon car types in both Korea and Japan. Implications of this study Korea has a meaningful result that Korea tends to select low-carbon automobiles with an emphasis on economic aspects and ages, and that safety tends to emphasize safety of low-carbon automobiles according to income levels. In the case of low carbon car, there was a tendency to select a low carbon car without any difference in consumer characteristics. The relationship between the expected purchase time according to the type of low carbon car and the Korean car show that the preferred car within the next 10 years among the low carbon car types is electric car and Japan prefers hybrid car.

이 논문은 주식투자 결정과 도박(gamble)의 심리가 상호 연관성이 있는가와 관련된 것이다. 집계변수(aggregated level)에서 경기가 불황일 때, 개인투자가들은 직접 복권(lottery tickets)을 구입하거나 복권과 같이 일확천금을 누릴 수 있는 동시에 위험성(risk)을 수반하는 주식을 선호하는 경향이 있다. 즉 경기가 불황에 놓일 경우에는 개인투자가들은 이러한 복권형(lottery-type) 주식과 복권(lottery)의 구매 및 보유를 늘리는 경향이 있다는 것이다. 특히 이러한 경향은 저소득 계층(low-income investors)과 청년, 교육의 혜택을 덜 받은 부류의 독신자, 대도시 거주자, 미국의 경우 흑인(African-American)과 히스패닉 등의 사회적 약자 등으로 알려지고 있다. 이러한 일반적인 경우가 데이터를 통해 알아볼 수 있는 지와 관련하여 실증분석 하였다. 하지만 이 분석을 통하여 개인투자가들이 경기불황일 때 위험한(risky) 주식의 보유 경향을 늘린다는 가정을 지지할 수 있는 결과를 도출하지 못하였다.

The study classifies online game users with two groups, which are users who purchase functional items and emotional items. This research used statistic tool, STATA MP, trying unpaired t-test to find relationships between two groups on payment intention and characteristics. The result shows that the users with functional items prefer community-oriented mind and interaction with other users while users with emotional items intend to consider item's design and superiority with higher purchasing satisfaction. The result of this study seems to give some implications to game companies when improving its purchasing system with charged items.

This study investigates the buying behavior pertaining to Japanese brands according to the degree of patriotism of consumers in their 20s. A survey of 235 university students was conducted; the survey questioned the basic purchasing attitudes of consumers in their 20s regarding outerwear and underwear and then surveyed the purchasing attitudes regarding U brand's (representative Japanese brand) outerwear and underwear. To detect the correlation between patriotism and U brand purchases, this study asked questions about patriotism and investigated basic personal information. The research results were as follows. First, there was a significant difference in consumer's purchasing attitude toward outerwear and underwear. When of consumers who are in their 20s purchase outerwear, its design was the most important factor, whereas when purchasing underwear, functionality was the most crucial factor. Second, it was confirmed that consumer's attitudes toward U brand's outerwear and underwear differed. Although the evaluation of U brand's outerwear design was not positive, the consumer tended to be satisfied with the price. U brand's score concerning the functionality of underwear products received a slightly positive response. Third, a total of 235 respondents were divided into a high- and low-patriotism-group based on questions about patriotism. There were significant differences in their attitudes toward clothing and consumer's purchasing behavior at U brand. Highly patriotic consumers thought negatively about U brand outerwear products in terms of price and product quality than low patriotic consumers; however, there was no significant difference only regarding design evaluation. For underwear products, low patriotic consumers were more positive about the price, design, and functionality of U brand products than high patriotic consumers.

일찍이 제품흥미나 중요성 대신 관여(involvement)의 개념이 소개된 이래로 마케팅과 소비자 행동 분야뿐 아니라 의류학분야의 여러 연구에서 관여는 구매자의 행동을 이해하는데 중요한 변수로 이해되어왔다. 그러나 관여의 개념은 의류제품의 특수성으로 인하여 변인이 조작적으로 정의되는 과정에서 의복관여, 유행관여, 패션관여 등의 용어가 혼용되어 왔다. 이러한 경향은 선행연구와 후행 연구의 연계성이라는 측면에서 “의복관여”라는 변수를 도입한 연구들의 해석에 많은 어려움을 주어 왔다. (중략)
