This study sets out to examine how a brand image that matches the advertising model has a positive impact on brand attitude and price fairness perceptions. We reviewed the constructs on the basis of previous studies and each of the concepts has been redefined. One such concept, "image congruence," refers to the harmony, fitness, and matching quality of images. For example, how well celebrity advertising model is matches the brand image shows image congruence. Results are summarized as follows: First, the congruence of brand image and sports advertising model has no significant impact on brand attitude certainty and persistence. Second, the individual's brand attitude certainty and brand attitude persistence has a positive impact on the perceptions of price fairness. Third, the congruence of brand image and sports advertising model has a positive impact on the perceptions of price fairness. The first and the third results suggest that the positive impact on the price fairness perceptions is temporary but it has insignificant effects on the formation of brand attitude causing ongoing purchases. In other words, in order to influence consumers' long-term confidence on the brand, improving the quality of products or services has to precede promotional strategies such as advertising. When an advertising model is inappropriate for the brand image, consumers perceive product price changes as a negative issue in the short term. However, in the long term, attitude formation such as consumers' repurchase intentions and word of mouth will be not affected. The second result suggests that an already existing positive brand attitude can contribute more positively to change the perceptions of price fairness. In particular, attitude persistence has greater influence than attitude certainty on the price fairness. It suggests that persistence issues such as the trading period and the frequency of transactions must be managed and controlled because they are more important than the certainty issues such as strength of belief or trust. For example, when a commercial model for expensive sporting goods matches up with the brand image, consumer feels less pressure on the price changes. However, it does not determine the consumer's repeated purchases or sustainable transactions and it also has no absolute impact on the brand trust. In other words, consumer brand attitude should be recognized and approached as a routine strategy in view of the result that it is of great value as a causal variable in the process of consumer decision-making.

This study empirically analyzed factors affecting consumers' intention to use metaverse by applying the extended technology acceptance model. In other words, the factors affecting the intention to use the metaverse were set as content quality, perceived enjoyment, social influence, self-efficacy, and investigated from the perspective of the expanded technology acceptance model. For this end, a survey was conducted on 296 university students in Seoul, and the collected data from 267 students were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 23.0. As a result, it was found that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, which are the antecedent variables of the extended technology acceptance model, affect the intention to use the metaverse, and perceived ease of use has an effect on perceived usefulness. Content quality and perceived enjoyment had an effect on perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and intention to use metaverse. Social influence was found to affect perceived usefulness and intention to use metaverse. Also, self-efficacy was found to affect perceived ease of use and intention to use metaverse.

The study on waiting time has been conducted from the psychological perspective since Maister (1985). In using medical institutions, especially general hospitals, it is not avoidable to wait for a long time. As a result, the waiting time gives clients psychological stress, which causes medical consumers to be more dissatisfied and decreases their rate of revisit. Accordingly, it is very urgent to study on the waiting time for hospitals' marketing and better image-making. This study is intended to find out how hospitals image and clients revisit is influenced by waiting environment and consumers' attitude, variables of waiting time perceived in medical services. Based on this study, those medical institutions are required to improve their medical service and waiting environment. Accordingly, they should convert waiting time into more efficient and comfortable recess and provide better environment for physical service and effective human services. As those medical institutions have relatively worse image than other businesses, they should actively study on ways of better image-making in the future.

The relationship quality and recovery of service failures perceived by consumers play an essential role in affecting the service provider's image and sales in terms of the highly involved service industry. In particular, implementation of successful relationship marketing strategies and effective recovery of service failures provide greater satisfaction for customers expecting customized services and reinforce the relationships between the companies and consumers. Based on these previous studies, this research conducted to find out the causal relationship between the variables influencing service recovery expectations and word of mouth(WOM) by approaching the severity of service failures from the perspective of relationship marketing and attribution theory. For the empirical analysis of this research, we conducted a questionnaire surveys of 360 service users of beauty salons, who have experienced in high-involvement services, and utilized 333 questionnaires for the final analysis. The hypothesis was experimented using the Structural Equation Model(SEM), and the results are as follows. First, we identified that the higher the customer perceived the severity of the service failure, the lower the quality of the relationship. Second, we verified that service users observed service failure as a temporary and uncontrollable factor as they distinguished service quality as higher. Third, the hypothesis that customers recognize service failures as a temporary one has a positive impact on service recovery expectation level is determined through empirical analysis. Forth, it was figured out that the higher the perceived quality of the relationship with the service provider, the higher the service recovery level expected by the consumers. At the same time, the hypothesis that optimism for service recovery expectation affects positive word of mouth has been verified. The results of this study help develop the customer-oriented business model of the service companies. Furthermore, the academic significance in that it suggested a new direction for the research of high-involvement service marketing.

많은 소비자 행동연구에서 연구가 본질적으로 구매 전 평가와 선택에 집중된 경향이 있으며, 또 감정보다 인지의 역할에 관한 연구가 많다. 소비과정에 관한 감정적 연구가 중요함에도 기존의 연구에서는 이러한 소비자의 감정적 요인과 같은 심리적인 요인이 소비과정행동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가에 관한 연구는 매우 적다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 제품이나 서비스가 선택되고 난 후에 소비과정을 거쳐서 나타나는 소비 후 감정(소비 감정)에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 감정적 관점에서 소비과정행동을 중심으로 탐색하였다. 구매 후 소비 전 기대감정은 소비 후 소비감정과 어떠한 관계가 있는가에 대하여 직접적인 관계와 간접적인 관계로 나누어 스포츠 센타를 연구대상서비스로 선정하여 탐색하였다. 긍정적 기대감정은 긍정적 소비감정에 직접적인 효과가 있었지만, 부정적 기대감정은 긍정적 소비감정에 직접적인 효과가 없었다. 간접효과를 보면 긍정적 기대감정과 부정적 기대감정 모두 소비의지와 소비과정행동의 적극성을 매개로 목적달성정도에 영향을 미치고 또 목적달성정도에 따라서 긍정적 소비감정수준이 달라지는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 주목이 되는 내용은 긍정적 소비감정의 수준에 소비과정 행동의 적극성이 직접적으로 영향을 미치지 못하고 목적달성 정도를 매개로 간접적으로 영향을 미친다는 점이다.

In contrast, the author proposes that trial intention is to better predict consumers' behavioral response in the newly launched brand extension markets where relate to high risk and uncertainty. Furthermore, the study explores the effects of attitude toward parent brand and consumers' characteristics (perceived similarity and consumption experience) on trial intention of brand extensions. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, the data collection was conducted for actual consumers who had experience using parent brand products. This study employed experiment and questionnaire survey and collected data of 186 was analyzed using clustering analysis and regression analysis. The main results are as follows. First, attitude toward parent brand has a positive effect on trial intention of the extensions.
