The study examined moderating role of thinking style about causality in the relationship between the perceived brand globalness(PBG) and the brand evaluation. Thinking style about causality is divided into interactionism and dispositionism. Individualism culture shows a tendency of thinking style about causality to dispositionism, and collectivist cultures shows a tendency for interactionism. We conducted a survey on Korean college students who represent collectivist cultures and foreign students from countries of individualistic culture and analyzed data through structural equation modeling. Analysis result showed that the higher the respondents perceived PBG, the higher they perceived brand quality, brand quality, and brand price. However, it showed that PBG has greater positive effects on perceived brand quality and perceived brand reputation among Korean students than students from individualistic cultures. On the other hand, the effects of PBG on perceived brand price did not show any significant difference between Korean students and students from individualist cultures. Thus, we can conclude that thinking style about causality plays a moderating role in the relationship between PBG and perceived brand quality and brand reputation, while it does not do so between PBG and perceived brand price.

본 연구는 소비자가 다른 사람과 차별되며 특별하게 지각되고자 하는 성향을 나타내는 소비자의독특성 욕구와 의복에 대한 관심이 브랜드 인식, 브랜드 충성, 및 구매의도와의 어떠한 관계를 지니고 있는지를 밝히고자 하였다. 특히 이러한 관계에 있어 문화간의 차이가 있는지를 알아보기 위하여 한국과 미국 소비자를 대상으로, 소비자특성이 구매의사결정에 미치는 과정의 모형을 검증한 후, 두 모형을 비교 분석하였다. 자료는 설문지를 사용하여 한국과 미국대학생을 중심으로 수집되었으며, 응답이 부정확하거나 불성실한 설문지를 제외하고, 총 485부-한국 271부와 미국 214부-만이 최종 자료 분석에 사용되었다 본 연구에서 사용한 통계분석방법으로 신뢰도 검증을 위하여 SPSS 11.0을 이용하여 신뢰도 계수를 구하였으며, Prelis 2와 Lisrel 8.53으로 확인적 요인분석 및 모형검증을 실시하였다. 한국과 미국소비자의 선택친 모형을 비교한 결과, 전반적인 모형의 구조에도 차이를 보였을 뿐 아니라 각 변수간의 영향력에도 차이가 있음을 나타냈다. 소비자의 독특성 욕구의 하위차원인 '독창적 선택'과 '브랜드 충성도'의 관계는 두 그룹간의 반대의 성향을 보였으며, '비대증적 선택'과 '브랜드 인식'도 또한 한국 소비자는 정의 관계를 보인 반면, 미국소비자는 부의 관계를 나타냈다. 이와 더불어 유사성을 회피하려는 한국소비자들은 브랜드에 충성하는 경향이 있는 반면, 미국소비자들은 브랜드 인식도가 높은 것으로 나타나 두 문화간의 차이가 있음을 뒷받침하였다. '브랜드 충성도'는 두 집단 모두 '구매의도'에 상대적으로 높은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

It is very important for companies to form a strong brand resonance to maximize profits, attract new customers, and prevent them from leaving existing customers. In this study, we examined the relationship between brand awareness factors and brand attachment leading to brand identity cognition, brand performance, and brand emotion, and verified how brand attachment plays a role in shaping brand resonance. As a result, it was confirmed that brand emotion among brand awareness factors is a key factor affecting brand attachment and forming brand resonance. In addition, if the perception of brand identity is established until the true brand resonance of consumers is established, they will experience the true value of the brand through differential performance on the brand, and further increase the emotional response of consumers. This led to deep solidarity with the brand and consumers through attachment to the brand, interacting with the brand and showing high brand empathy behavior.
