The purposes of this study were to identify styles of contemporary interior design, construct their images, and find out the relation of the identified styles to the structure images. Content analysis was used as the main method of this study, and the focus of the analysis was on a typological approach. Two hundred interior design photos were drawn from five different interior design magazines published in the past ten years, and ,they were analyzed by interior design professionals. Contemporary interior design was classified into ten styles: romantic, ethnic, classical, high tech, elegant, country, modern, minimal, natural, and causal. Given the ten styles, five images of interior design were identified - simple, comfortable, rustic, classical, and delightful. With regard to the relationships between 10 styles and 5 images of interior design, the this study found that the romantic style was related to the images of rustic and classical, the ethnic style to the images of comfortable, classical, and delightful, the classical style to the image of classical, the high tech style to the images of classical and rustic, the elegant style to the images of simple and classical, the country style to the images of comfortable and rustic, the modern style to the images of simple and delightful, the minimal style to the image of comfortable, the natural style to the images of comfortable and delightful, and the causal style to the images of comfortable and delightful.

With the growth of the Korean Wave and the importance of the fandom economy, it is necessary to consider the competitiveness of the Korean Wave with its fandom viewpoint. Particularly, the fandom phenomenon shows the characteristics of identifying the favorite star and actively acquiring and sharing related information in the fan community. Therefore, in this study, we examined the influence of Korean national image on consumers' intention to use Korean contents, and examined the mediating effects of fandom identification among Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese consumers. As a result of the empirical analysis, cultural image, corporate image, and product image were found to have statistically significant influence on the intention to use Korean Wave contents. In addition, star identification and pan community identification showed partial mediation in the effect of cultural images on the intention to use Korean contents. The results of this study suggest that the Korean Wave is a leading factor for the continuous development of Korean Wave, not the halo effect point for improving the national image, and the mediating effect of the fandom phenomenon is tested empirically.

In the context of the increasing applications of voice assistants in vehicles, we focused on the association between the visual appeal of the cars and the acoustic characteristics of the voice assistants. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the visual appeal of the vehicle and the voice assistant based on their emotional characteristics. A total of 15 adjectives were used to assess the emotional characteristics of 12 types of cars and six types of voices. An online interview was carried out, instructing participants to match three adjectives with the presented car images or voices. This was followed with a brief interview to allow the participants to reflect on the adjective matches. Based on the assessments, we performed principal component analysis (PCA) to determine factors. We aimed to deploy the cars and voices and analyze the patterns of clustering. The PCA analysis revealed two factors profiled as "Light-Heavy" and "Comfortable-Radical." Both car and voice stimuli were deployed in a two-dimensional space showing the internal relationship within and between the two substances. Based on the coordination data, a hierarchical cluster grouped the 18 stimuli into four groups labeled as challenge, elegance, majesty, and vigor. This study identified two latent factors describing the emotional characteristics of both car images and voice types clustered into four groups based on their emotional characteristics. The coherent matches between car style and voice type are expected to address the design concept more successfully.

The college students selected by random sampling were classified into several groups by their cosmetic impulse buying pattern, personality characteristics, and self-image that cause them. Their life styles, cosmetic impulse buying pattern, personality characteristics, and self-image were the subjects of comparative analysis. The results of this research can be summarized as follows. The lifestyles of college women are classified into seven styles; the style faithful to intellectual self, the style to participate actively in society, the style to pursue western value, the style to prefer decorating life, the style to pursue sound value, the passive others-oriented style and the style to pursue traditional life. Among them, the style faithful to intellectual self and the style to participate actively in society, and the style to pursue western value are shown to be important dimensions. When these lifestyles are classified, they are classified into the sound western-oriented style, the style to pursue conservative intelligence, the style to pursue active decoration, and the style to pursue traditional life. The western-oriented style and pursue active decoration style were more impulse buying orientated. But the pursue conservative intelligence style and pursue traditional life style showed quite different tendencies. These personality characteristics and self-image were supposd to contribute to their impulse buying.

본 연구는 소비자의 의류제품평가에 있어 개인적ㆍ심리적 요인인 자기이미지 및 의복태도의 관련성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구결과, 소비자의 의류제품평가는 다차원적인 구조를 가지며, 외관적, 성능적, 외재적, 표현적 요소로 세분화되어 사용되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 소비자의 자기이미지와 의복태도에 따라 의류제품 평가기준과 의복선호스타일에 유의한 차이가 나타남으로써 이들이 소비자의 의류제품 평가에 영향을 미치는 중요한 변인이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 이러한 소비자의 자기이미지 및 의복태도는 감성이나 이미지와 같은 요소들의 중요성이 증가하고 있는 최근의 의류시장의 경향에 부합하여 시장세분화의 효과적인 변수로 사용될 수 있을 것이다. 이와 함께 자기이미지 및 의복태도를 통해 세분화된 표적시장 소비자들이 보다 중요시하는 의류제품평가의 차원들을 파악하고 이를 강화함으로써 보다 효율적인 마케팅 전략을 수립할 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of dietary lifestyles and demographic characteristics on the Brand image of restaurants with Nutritional labeling to provide basic marketing data for establishing differentiated Brand image strategies for restaurant businesses. To that end, the SPSS21.0 (ver.) program, frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis were conducted to verify the hypothesis. As a result, the Brand image of restaurants with Nutritional labeling improved as the metropolitan area sought safety, non-capital area sought taste, males sought health, and females sought safety. In terms of age, it was analyzed that as more people in their 20s sought taste, those their 30s and 40s sought safety, and both married and unmarried people sought safety, the Brand image of restaurants with Nutritional labeling improved. In other words, it could be seen that people with Dietary lifestyles who pursued health and safety had positive images of restaurants with Nutritional labeling regardless of residential area, age, gender, marital status, or whether they had children.

남성 속옷은 신체 보호의 기능이 중요하지만 운동이나 거실 생활에서 속옷노출이 일반화됨에 따라 개성과 이미지를 표현할 수 있는 패션 아이템으로 변화되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 남성 속옷 시장에서 소비자가 원하는 감성과 이미지를 파악하고 소비자가 선호하는 감성요구에 부합하는 소재 특성이 데이터베이스로 만들어져 소비자가 원하는 속옷 제품개발이 이루어지는 시스템의 구축이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 남성용 속옷 문양디자인 개발을 위한 목적으로 남성 트렁크 팬티용 문양의 감성 이미지를 파악하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 위하여 시판하는 트렁크 팬티 중 문양의 형태 및 크기, 색상을 달리한 50 종을 수집하였고, 이중 25 종의 트렁크 팬티용 문양 이미지에 대한 주관적 감성평가를 2009년 4 월 부산지역에 거주하는 20 대 남녀 22 명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 주관적 감성평가를 위해 직물 문양 선호도에 관한 선행연구를 바탕으로 빈번하게 출현되는 26 개의 감성 형용어를 추출하였다. 감성 형용어를 7 점 척도로 문항화하여 설문지를 구성하고 설문지와 함께 25 종의 팬티 자극물을 보고 평가하도록 하였다. 수집한 자료의 통계분석을 위해 SPSS Win 12.0을 사용하여 빈도분석, 카이제곱 검정, 요인분석 분간분석 사후분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구결과 남성용 트렁크 팬티의 문양에 관한 감성 형용에는 '고급성', '활동성', '단순성', '호화성', '성숙성'의 요인으로 요약되었으며, 문양의 고급 감성 및 활동적 스타일이 트렁크 팬티 선호도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 트렁크 팬티의 색상 및 문양 유형이 선호도에 중요한 영향을 미치는 변수로 나타났는데, 남성 트렁크 팬티에 사용될 수 있는 무채색 계열의 고급스러우면서 단순한 도형 문양 디자인의 개발이 필요하다고 하겠다.
