최근 HCI 분야에서는 사용자들이 가지고 있는 문화적 성향이 사용자 경험에 미치는 영향에 대한 다양한 연구들이 이루어져 왔다. 이는 사용자들이 가지고 있는 문화적 성향이 어떠한 기기나 시스템을 이해하고 해석하는 방식에 영향을 미치는 지각적 렌즈(Perceptual Lens)로서 작용하기 때문이다. 이와 같은 사용자들이 가지고 있는 문화적 성향의 중요성에도 불구하고 기존 HCI 분야의 연구들은 국가와 문화를 동일시하면서 국가 수준에서 문화의 중요성만을 강조하고 있다. 그러나 어떠한 기기나 시스템의 사용은 개인 수준에서의 행동이기 때문에 국가와 문화를 동일시 하는 것은 개인 수준의 행동을 설명하지 못한다는 한계가 있다. 이는 문화적 성향이 한 국가 내에서도 개인에 따라 다양한 양상을 나타낼 수 있으며, 더 나아가 한 개인 안에서도 대상이나 정황에 따라 다른 양상을 나타낼 수 있기 때문이다. 본 연구는 사용자들이 가지고 있는 문화적 성향에 있어 국가 간 차이가 존재할 뿐만 아니라, 기기 간에도 차이가 존재함을 밝히는 것을 기본 목적으로 한다. 이와 같은 목적을 위하여 본 연구에서는 Hofstede[1980]가 제시한 네 가지 문화적 차원(불확실성 회피 성향, 개인주의 성향, 남성성 성향, 권력 거리 성향)을 중심으로 각 차원에 있어 나타나는 국가 간 그리고 기기 간 사용자들의 문화적 성향의 차이를 3 개 국(미국, 독일, 러시아)에서 4 개 디지털 기기(핸드폰, MP3 플레이어, LCD TV, 냉장고) 사용자들을 대상으로 한 대규모 설문을 기반으로 검증하였다.

The purpose of the current study is to examine the structural relationship between communication competence and self-presentation through motivational perspectives. The present study hypothesized structural model to examine the effects of autonomy, relatedness, and life satisfaction along with communication competence on the self-presentation. We investigated how these effects were influenced by differences in the structural relationships of males and females. The data with the sample of 361 college students adequately fit to the hypothesized model. Through latent mean analysis, gender differences of the constructs were examined. The female students appeared to have higher levels of relatedness than the male students. The results showed that autonomy and relatedness are important factors to self-presentation mediating communication competence.

Gender role identity is a key subject toward adaptation in later life. In this paper, we tried to understand the specific types and characteristics of gender role identity in view of older men. The research collected and examined 40 representative descriptions representing gender role identity, including 20 for masculinity and 20 for femininity from 40 older men. We obtained four types of gender role identity of older men from this research. "Powerful-expressive type" is energetic and reveals his brave and dominant tendency when they are working. "Powerful-taciturn type" is strongly independent and has a firm conviction, but they do not express those characters and remain silent. "Powerful-paternal type" handles his work with a driving force, and has a tender character. "Paternal-caring type" finds his own worth in life by caring for his family and children, and considers others more than himself. Future research is needed to verify how the types of gender role identity are linked to psychosocial adaptive aspects, health behaviors, mental and physical health.

본 논문에서는 카탈로그 구매자들이 의복쇼핑과 관련한 변인에 대하여 성별 차이를 보이는지를 연구하였다. 총 207명의 의류카탈로그 소비자들을 남성그룹 (N=97)과 여성그룹 (N=110)으로 나누어 카탈로그 의복쇼핑과 관련하여 구매자 성향, 애고 동기, 애고 행동을 비교하였다. 여성은 남성보다 유희적, 가격 중시, 편리성 중시 구매자 성 향을 높게 보였다. 여성 소비자들은 남성 에 비해 카탈로그 쇼핑에 대한 전반적인 만족도를 더 높게 나타내었고, 특히 편리성, 용이성, 유희성, 안전성, 경제성 면에서 더 높게 평가하였다. 남성이 여성보다 더 높은 만족도를 나타낸 유일한 항목은 카탈로그의 브랜드 구색이었다. 이처럼 카탈로그 의복쇼핑의 만족도에 관한 성별 차이에도 불구하고 실제로 카탈로그를 통한 의복쇼핑 행동에서는 성별의 차이가 발견되지 않았다. 결론을 바탕으로 의류 카탈로그 업체를 위한 마케팅 전략들이 제안되었다.

This study examined the associations among self-disclosure tendency, self-activities and friends' responses on Facebook, and perceived usefulness of Facebook in social networking. Sex differences were also examined. Results showed that participants' self-disclosure tendency was positively related to their activities in Facebook, which were strongly related to friends-activities. Self- and friends-activities significantly increased usefulness in social networking. Regarding sex differences, the relationships between self-disclosure tendency and self-activities and between self-activities and usefulness were stronger for men, while the relationship between friends-activities and usefulness was stronger for women. These results suggest women tend to value friends' responses more in assessing relational qualities than men in Facebook contexts.

The aim of this paper was to develop a scale for measuring gender identity among sports participants (114 male, 193 female). Gender similarities and latent mean analysis was used to validate the gender identity measurement method. Data processing was carried out by way of frequency analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, reliability, correlation, normal distribution of questions, and latent mean analysis using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0. The results of this study were as follows: First, the equivalence had revealed the configurable, metric, and scalar invariance of the scale that can be used in multi-groups in the same way. Second, women had a more open inclination than men when it came to participating in sports activities (p<.001). Third, women participating in sports activities tended to be more conservative than men (p<.001). Fourth, women who participated in sports activities showed a higher subjective tendency than men (p<.001). Fifth, there was no statistical difference in the outward tendency when participating in sports activities (p<.05). The results of this study suggest that gender identity among sports participants is not influenced by the changing times and the advancement of women in society.

여성네티즌들은 남성네티즌과는 다른 성향을 보인다. 그들은 결속력과 전파력이 강하고 익숙한 사이트에서 정보를 찾으려는 습성이 잇다. 그리고 한국의 경우 경제권을 대체로 여성이 쥐고 있기 때문에, 전자상거래의 타켓 또한 남성에서 여성으로 변하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구자는 Web 비즈니스에 있어서 중요성이 증대되고 있는 여성사이트에 대하여 실증분석 하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 먼저 기존의 여성사이트들이 어떠한 형태로 이루어져 있는지를 살펴보았다. 또한 일반 사이트들과의 차별성을 두기 위해 시도하고 있는 기능들이나 서비스 등에는 어떠한 것들이 있는지를 알아보았다. 그리고 설문조사를 통하여 10대와 20대들의 여성사이트에 대하여 갖는 성향이나 특성 그리고 이용실태에 관하여 살펴보았으며 그 결과에 따른 여성사이트 활성화 전략을 제시하였다. 마지막으로 설문조사결과는 다음과 같이 나타났다. 첫째, 응답자중 33%만이 여성사이트를 방문해본 경험이 있으며, 그들 중 무응답자를 제외한 33.7%만이 컨텐츠 내용에 만족스러워 하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 성별에 따라 여성사이트 방문경험의 유무는 관련이 없는 것으로 분석된 반면, 관심있는 컨텐츠 분야에 있어서는 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 인터넷 사용시간에 따라 여성사이트의 방문경험에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study identifies the influences of appearance-related consumption behavior according to interpersonal relations and masculinity examined through amediated effect of appearance concerns based on a structural study method. Five hypotheses were established to verify the relationships of interpersonal relations, masculinity and appearance-related consumption behavior. Questionnaires were administered to 201 males in their 20s to 50s living in Daegu South Korea. The SPSS 20.0 package utilized for data analysis included frequency analysis, factor analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$. This study utilized an Amos 21.0 program, a Confirmative Factor Analysis(CFA)and a Structural Equation Modeling(SEM). The results of the study are as follows: First, the appearance concern showed a partial mediation effect between measurement variables that verified the causal relationship of the structural model. Second, interpersonal relations showed a positive influence on masculinity. Third, masculinity showed a positive influence on the appearance concern. Fourth, masculinity had a positive influence on appearance-related consumption behavior. Fifth, interpersonal relations did not have a significant influence on appearance-related consumption behavior. Sixth, the appearance concern showed a positive influence on appearance-related consumption behavior. The findings of this study can influence a market segmentation strategy by predicting future emotional and new consumption markets strategies for male's appearance-related product.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the emotional consumption propensity and the preferences for sensibility factors of fabrics(color tone, pattern and texture image), and to analyse the differences according to demographic variables and relationships between emotional consumption propensity and preferences for sensibility factors of fabrics, focusing on male and female consumers in 20's, 30's and 40's. The emotional consumption propensity were classified into symbolic consumption propensity, individual consumption propensity, aesthetic consumption propensity and hedonic consumption propensity. The subjects attached great importance in the order of aesthetic consumption propensity, individual consumption propensity and symbolic consumption propensity. Those factors of emotional consumption propensity showed partially significant difference according to demographic variables. Female consumers preferred various color tones than men did, and preference for light color tone showed significant differences according to gender and occupation of consumers. The preferences for floral pattern showed significant difference according to gender, age, education, occupation and marital status of consumers. The factors of the texture images for the fabrics showed partially significant difference according to demographic variables except education of consumers. There were almost significant relationships between emotional consumption propensity and the preferences for sensibility factors for fabrics.
