The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences among internet and TV home-shopping perceived risk segments in regard to clothing shopping orientations and purchase intention. The subjects used for the study were 290 female consumers aged from 20 to 40 living in Seoul. The study used factor analysis, cluster analysis, ANOVA, Duncan test, and $\chi^2-test$. The results showed that the Internet and TV home-shopping perceived risks consisted of 9 factors: Products uncertainty risk, Internet shopping mall trust risk, account-related risk, delivery risk, social risk, size risk, exchange/return risk, TV watching-related risk, and price risk. The cluster analysis showed that there were five groups segmented: Size risk/TV watching risk group, Social risk/Internet trust risk group, Return risk/TV watching low-risk group, Delivery risk/product trust group, and Product risk group. The clothing shopping orientations were classified by 5 factors: Planned shopping, pleasure shopping, sales/fashion oriented shopping, time saving shopping, and credit card preference/in-store oriented shopping. The results showed that the five segmented perceived risk groups differed in regard to clothing shopping orientations, purchase intention, and demographics. Further group differences and implications of the results were discussed.

본 연구는 노년층 남성과 여성의 의복행동에 대한 신체이미지와 자아존중의 관계를 알아보는 것으로 구체적인 목적은 첫째, 노년층 남성과 여성의 신체이미지와 의복행동과의 관계를 알아보고, 둘째, 자아존중과 의복행동과의 관계를 알아보며, 끝으로 의복행동에 대한 신체이미지와 자아존중과의 관계에 있어서 남녀간의 차이점과 유사점을 규명하는 것이다. 조사대상은 나이 55세 이상의 미국 남부와 거주하는 남성과 여성으로 302부의 설문지를 배부하여 108부를 자료분석에 이용하였다. 신체이미지는 신체 18부분에 대한 만족도로 측정하였고, 자아존중은 Rosenberg의 자아존중 척도를 사용하였으며, 의복행동은 의복태도, 유행의견선도력, 쇼핑에 대한 만족, 상점충성도, 의복비 지출을 포함하였다. 결과로 남녀 노년층에게 있어 신체만족도는 대부분의 의복행동과 상관 관계가 있었으며 유행선도력과 상표충성도에 대한 상관관계가 있어서만 남녀간 유의한 차이가 있었다. 또한 자아존중은 남녀 모두에게 있어 대부분의 의복행동과 상관관계가 있었으며 유행선도력과의 관계에서만 남녀간 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The propose of this study is to explore if the clothing shopping orientation[CSO] of consumers differs between the two types of preferred store when they purchase casual wears. A total of 413 answers from male and female consumers in their twenties were used for the analysis. The types of preferred store were grouped by the brand fame. Department stores, brand agencies/sales branches, and outlets constituted wellknown brand store group, and shopping malls, no brand street stores, and discount stores constituted unknown brand store group. The results are as follows. First, there were no significant differences in CSO dimensions except 'well known brand oriented' dimension between groups. Second, each group showed proper fitness for CSO structure model. Third, the relationships among dimensions within structure model were significantly different between groups. These mean that though it looks there are no differences between groups at the level of each dimension, but there are differences in the view of specific relationships among dimensions. Therefore, store managers must consider the complex CSO structure for marketing strategy development.

The results were as follows. Adolescents were segmented to 4 groups(Shop Loyalty/Convenience Pursuit Group, Pleasure/Brand Loyalty Group, Low Shopping Involvement Group and Economic Group).

The present study explored differences of catalog and non-catalog shoppers in their beliefs, attitude and buying intention in relation to Internet apparel shopping. Respondents of this study were 352 general consumers (145 non-catalog shoppers; 207 catalog shoppers) residing in the US. The t-test and chi-square analysis were used to study differences between the two groups. Differences between catalog shoppers and non-catalog shoppers were found in beliefs about and attitude toward Internet apparel shopping as well as apparel buying intention through the Internet. Also, catalog shoppers were less satisfied with apparel shopping through local shops than were non-catalog shoppers. However, no difference was found in income and education levels of the two groups.

This study identified types of information source, and explored a path model for consumer information search by shopping attributes in the context of online decision making. Participants completed self-administered questionnaires during regularly scheduled classes. A total of 219 usable questionnaires were obtained from respondents who enroll at universities in the southwestern region of the United States. For data analysis, factor analysis and path model estimation were used. Consumer information source was classified into three types for online clothing purchases: Online source, Offline retail source, and Mass media. Consumers were more likely to rely on offline retail source for online clothing purchases, than other sources. In consumer information search by shopping attributes, online sources were more likely to be related to transaction-related attributes(e.g., incentive service), whereas offline retail source(e.g., displays in stores, manufacturer's catalogs and pamphlets) were more likely to be related to product and market related attributes(e.g., aesthetics, price) when purchasing clothing online. Also, the path model emphasizes the effect of shopping attributes on traditional retailer search behavior, leading to online purchase intention for clothing. This study supports consumer information search by attributes, and discusses a managerial implication of multi-channel retailing for apparel.

The purpose of this study is to examine the mediate effect of gender on the differences of consumers grouped by the level of fashion interest. Data was collected from 280 men and women of their twentieth and analyzed using crosstab analysis, ANOVA, scheff'e test, x$^{2}$ test, and regression. The results are as follows. First, high interest groups showed little difference in the clothing shopping orientation and showed significant differences in the clothing purchasing behaviors(visiting store, time spent for shopping, and monthly clothing expenditure) between men and women. Second, low interest groups showed a lot of differences in both the clothing shopping orientation and the clothing purchasing behaviors between men and women. Third, several dimensions of clothing shopping orientation were more influenced from fashion interest level rather than the gender of consumers, and other several dimensions, visiting store, and the time spent for shopping were more influenced from gender rather than fashion interest level. These results imply that the gender of consumer has mediate effect on the behaviors of consumers grouped by the level of fashion interest, and the consumers of same fashion interest level must be approached concerning the gender of consumers.

This study examines age differences with respect to consumers' clothing purchase behavior. First, the differences of age groups were investigated according to clothing purchase behavior, which include purchase item, purchase price, purchase channel, information resources, purchase frequency, and monthly clothing expenditures. Second, the differences of segmented groups by age variable were investigated according to clothing purchase behaviors after segmenting consumers by clothing shopping orientation. An on-line survey was conducted from July 2 to July 10, 2019, and 500 data were collected from adults aged 20s to 60s who had bought their own clothes within one year. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, factor analysis, reliability analysis, chi-squared test, ANOVA and Duncan-test using SPSS 21.0. This findings showed that there were significant differences in purchase item, purchase price, purchase channel, purchase frequency, and information resources according to age group. As a result of segmentation by shopping orientation, consumers were classified into three groups of high shopping involvement, low shopping involvement, and economic pursuit. In addition, there were partly significant differences in clothing purchase behavior according to classified groups by age variable.
