Individuals often receive smishing campaigns (mobile phishing messages), which they treat as spam. Thus, firms should understand how their customers distinguish their promotion messages from smishing. However, only a few studies examined this important issue. The present study employs the elaboration likelihood model to develop research hypotheses on the relationship between message cue and message credibility. The message cue in this study is classified as content cue, which is found in the content of promotion messages, and as leakage cue, which is found in peripheral information in the message. Leakage cue includes orthography (inclusion of special characters)and an abbreviated link sent by a faithless sender. We also propose that contextualization has a moderating effect on the relationship between content cue and credibility. We conducted a survey experiment to examine the effect of message cues on message credibility in the context of respondents receiving discount coupons through mobile messages. The result of data analysis based on 166 responses suggests that leakage cue had a negative effect on message credibility. A message with defective content cue has a marginally negative effect on message credibility. In particular, defective content cue in a high-contextual message has a strong negative impact on message credibility. This effect was not observed in low-contextual messages. Moreover, message credibility is significantly low regardless of the degree of contextualization if there is a leakage cue in the message. Our findings suggest that mobile promotion messages should be customized for message receivers and should have no leakage cues.

여성에 대한 긍정적인 연구와 이해가 있어왔지만 여전히 우리나라에서는 남아선호 대한 인식이 뿌리깊게 남아있는 것이 사실이다. 각종 대중매체를 통해 다루어지는 부정적인 여성의 이미지에서 벗어나 사회 각 분야에서 노력하고 있는 여성에 대한 긍정적인 메시지가 많이 다루어지길 기대한다.

온라인상의 쇼핑에서 사용후기에 관한 많은 연구가 진행 중이지만, 사용후기를 보는 원인에 관한 분석에 대해서는 아직 부족함으로 연구를 진행하였다. 온라인상이기 때문에 가지는 위험 중에서도 사용후기를 통해서 어떤 위험을 가장 많이 가지고 있는지에 대해 우선 알아볼 필요성이 있을 것 같다. 이의 연구결과 기능적 위험을 가장 크게 지각하고 있었기 때문에 사용후기를 보는 이유로서의 근거가 될 수 있을 것이다. 둘째, 의류에 관련된 논문들을 보면 온라인상에서 구매를 꺼려하는 이유가 직접 눈으로 보고 만질 수 없다는 기능적 위험을 가장 크게 가지고 있었다. 그렇기 때문에 대리 시용구매를 할 수 있는 사용후기를 이용하여 의류제품을 온라인상에서 구매하는 것이 영향을 미치는 것인지에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 본 연구 결과, 긍정적인 후기를 보고 구매하려는 의도가 나타났었고 부정적인 후기를 보고 구매하지 않으려하므로 사용후기가 구매함에 있어 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 사용후기를 중심으로 메시지를 보고 메시지에 대한 태도와 제품에 대한 태도, 그리고 구매의도 뿐만 아니라 메시지의 유형에 따라서 구전 의도나 사이트 재방문 의도라는 구매 행동에도 차이가 날 것이라고 추측했다. 연구 결과를 보면 유형별로 각각 다르게 영향을 미치고 있었으며, 부정적인 메시지로 인해 제품에 대한 좋지 않은 태도를 가지게 됨으로써 제품을 구입하려는 사이트 재방문 의도는 나타나지 않았다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the social perception of stepmother in social media and news. For this purpose, we analyzed the texts that were searched as 'stepmother' in Twitter and news articles. The main research results are as follows. The public perception is divided into two types: strengthening the negative image of the stepmother, and providing a positive alternative message to the negative image. Negative images were reported in the media as negative stereotypes about remarried families, as well as images of negative stepmother that afflicts stepchildren like fairy tales. Positive alternative messages were concerned about the negative perception of remarried families. Based on the results of this study, we discussed alternatives to avoid prejudice against stepmother.

The purpose of this study is to examine sidedness effects of political Ad message and moderating roles of consumers' persuasion knowledge. To test these research hypotheses, this study conducted experimental designs. 125 undergraduate students were assigned to one of the two experimental groups. The data demonstrate that message types have a significant effect on both reliability toward Ad message and acceptance intention. In addition, consumers' persuasion knowledge plays a significant moderating role between the message types and the dependent variables. The results of this study suggest various implications by indicating political Ad message as an important factor which can enhance customers' positive responses but has been passed over by the previous research. We also indicated the limitations of this study, and suggested the future research directions.
