The purposes of this study were to explain consumer attitude, behavioral intention and behavior(expenses) in the purchase of Han-gwa and to explore the influencing factors on them. To achieve these purposes, the Heckman two-step model was utilized to utilize the recursive system of attitude, behavioral intention and behavior. The results of this study were as follows: 1) Seventy-six percent of consumers presented their favorable altitudes to purchase Han-gwa, while $47\%$ of consumers had behavioral intention for purchasing Han-gwa. In addition, purchasing expense of Han-gwa per year as a proxy variable of behavior was less than 100,000 won for most consumers. 2) First, consumer attitude was found to be significantly influenced by the type of family and food safety. Second, the behavioral intention for purchasing Han-gwa was found to be significantly influenced by consumer attitude, age, income, education and price. Finally, consumer behavior(expenses) of purchasing Han-gwa was found to be significantly influenced by the behavioral intention, income and purchasing place.

Consumer's impulse buying behavior is extensive in everyday contexts. Credit cards promote spending by making the transaction simpler and by removing the immediate need for money. College students grown up in a credit card society attain cards at college's time and keep cards for 10 years over. In an effort to extend understanding of consumer behavior across cultures, this paper examines the cultural differences of impulse buying behavior and credit card use between Korean and American college students, and to investigate the relationships between impulse buying behavior and credit card use in each group. Data were obtained from student credit card users attending universities in metropolitan areas in Korea(N=154) and America(N=194). Data were analyzed using by Confirmatory Factor Analysis, MANOVA, MDA, and Regression. The results indicated there are significant differences of fashion-oriented impulse buying and credit card use between American and Korean college students. The impulse buying behavior is likely to increase for both Korean and American students who use credit cards for spending. Findings suggest that credit card use is important in predicting impulse buying behavior across these two cultures. Implications are drawn for the increasing global phenomenon impulse buying behavior and credit card use.

This study tried to investigate the relationships among the sought benefits, consumer-brand relationship and purchase experiences with regard to cosmetics, based on Scmitt (1999)'s Strategic Experiential Modules (SEM) which classified consumer's purchase experiences into five modules (sense, feel, think, act & relate) and provide strategic implications based on the results. According to the result, among the sought benefits of cosmetics, functionality had the most significant impact on purchase experience, and brand affected "sense" and "think-act-relate" experiential modules. Fashion was only found to affect "feel" module. Also, the "think-act-relate" module positively affected all components of consumer-brand relationship. And, "love and passion" component was significantly influenced by sensory experience, while "mutual commitment" and "affinity" were both affected by affective experience. In addition, gender difference was found in fashion, economy, and functionality among the sought benefits, Specifically, women showed higher score on fashion and functionality than men, while men scored higher in economy benefit than women. Also gender was a differentiating factor for "feel" and "think-act-relate" experiential modules, where women scored higher than men. Finally, In terms of causal relationships, "functionality" influenced all three experiential modules (sense, feel, think-act-relate) for both men and women. But, women showed more significant relationship between brand and sensory module, whereas men showed significant relationship between brand and think-act-relate module. At conclusion, the study provides some strategic implications that cosmetics companies need to strengthen brand relationship with consumers in order to provide them with targeted purchase experiences that fit the benefits most sought by them, which will result in competitive strengths.

기술적 혁신과는 달리 상징적 혁신(symbolic innovation)은 기존 제품에 부가된 사회적 의미가 변화함으로서 창조된다. 따라서, 상징적 혁신에서 새로운 사회적 의미와 관련된 속성은 기능적 속성만큼이나 중요하다. 본 연구는 상징적 혁신의 대표적인 의류제품을 이용, 패션혁신행동에 영향을 미치는 인지된 혁신속성(perceived innovation attributes)을 구별하고, 패션혁신행동의 두 유형(구매와 사용)에 미치는 이러한 속성의 영향을 고찰하였다. 대학생 집단을 표본으로 이용, 설문지 조사를 통해 수집된 515부의 응답지가 분석되었다. 인지된 혁신 속성은 유사성(compatibility), 기능적 상대적 잇점, 사회적 상대적 잇점, 인지된 위험으로 구분되었다. 의복흥미가 구매와 사용 두 측면의 패션혁신행동에 영향을 주었으나 인지된 혁신속성은 사용측면에만 영향을 주었다. 유사성과 기능적 상대적 잇점이 사용혁신행동에 긍정적 영향을, 인지된 위험이 부정적 영향을 미쳤다. 혁신속성이 영향을 미치지 않은 반면 의류소비정도가 구매혁신에 영향을 주었다. 본 연구의 결과는 사용혁신성이 높은 소비자는 구매혁신성이 높은 소비자보다 혁신속성의 평가에 더 관여한다는 것을 시사한다.

이 연구의 목적은 첫째, 계속 확대되어가고 있는 미국 TV 홈쇼퍼에 대한 인구통계학적인 특성과 그들의 구매행동을 조사하여 TV 홈쇼핑에 대한 이해의 폭을 넓히고 쇼핑이용자의 만족도를 증진시킬 수 있는 방안을 모색하는 데 있다. 둘째, TV shopping channel 에의 많은 노출은 TV 홈쇼핑의 유통 특성상 강박구매를 야기 시킬 경향이 높은 데 과연 TV shopping channel 노출과 강박구매와 관련이 있는 지, 그리고 TV 홈쇼퍼중 어느 정도의 강박구매자가 존재하는 지 조사하는 데 있다. 미국 전지역 51주에 걸쳐 회수된 설문지 결과, 일반적 마케팅 타겟에서 소외시되온 소비자집단, 예를 들면, 중년이나 노인 여성들, 몸이 비대한 여성들, 장애인등과 같은 다양한 집단들이 TV 홈쇼핑을 그들의 주요 쇼핑형태로 이용하였고, 특히, 대다수의 TV 홈쇼퍼들은 의류를 구매한 경험이 있었다. 또한, TV shopping media에 노출이 강박구매행동과 유의한 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났는데, 특히 이 연구의 TV 홈쇼퍼중 일반인에 비해 약 2배가량의 강박구매자가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이 연구 결과를 토대로 사회지향적 마케팅전략이 논의되어진다.

This research suggests a structural model of green purchase behavior, focusing on the moderating effect of affordability. Affordability means buying power or ability to buy products. Based on the literature review, a research model of behavior of buying green products was proposed and tested empirically using the field study. To examine the proposed research model, the reliability and validity verifications on measurement items were carried out and then the structural equation model analysis was applied to test the model. Lastly, to test the moderating effect of affordability, a two-group model(using Amos program) was used subsequently so that it could be determined whether or not there was any significant difference in structural parameters between the high affordability group and the low affordability group. The empirical results are as follow: Firstly, green purchase attitude is influenced by ecological concern and collectivism, then green purchase attitude has an impact on green purchase intention, and in turn, green purchase intention affects green purchase behavior. Secondly, affordability significantly moderates the relationship between green purchase intention and green purchase behavior. These results are consistent with the past researches and based on them, some managerial implications are given.
