This study investigated the influence of ideals(goal-directed design attributes) and physical common features on typicality of product design and the relationship between typicality and preference that suggested different result in prior research. So for these objectives we explored the relationship between typicality and preference with two dimensions composed of goal-directed attribute typicality and physical common features typicality. The result showed that consumers' judgment of typicality on product design was increased as the product design has ideals. This was a same result as the prior research. In addition, Increasing the physical common feature with other members in product category, consumers judged that the product design is typical. Otherwise, in results of the relationship between typicality and preference were showed that the design of ideals(goal-directed design attributes) influenced on preference positively, but the design of physical common features had an inverted U-shaped.

The purpose of this study is to test the typicality effects to aesthetic response according to product orientation (design-oriented vs function- oriented) and perceived purchase risk. This study overcame the limitations of existing researches which haven't had the consensus about the relationship between typicality and preference and consequently suggested the typicality effect to aesthetic response by analyzing this relationship with product orientation and perceived purchase risk. The results of this study showed the inverted U-shaped relationship in design-oriented products and no relationship in function-oriented products between typicality and preference.

소비자의 의사결정에 관한 대부분의 연구는 상표수준(brand level) 선택에 그 초점을 맞추고 있으나, 소비자는 제품수준의 의사결정상황에 자주 직면하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구는 제품수준(product level)에서의 의사결정문제에 접하게 될 때 소비목적을 달성하기 위하여 제품 수준에서는 환기군에서 유도된 고려군을 어떻게 형성하는지를 전형성의 개념을 이용하여 살펴보았다. 그리고 이를 통해 선택된 특정제품에 대한 상표대안들에 대하여 환기군에서 유도된 고려군이 형성되는 전반적인 과정을 제품수준과 연결하여, 제품수준과 상표수준에서의 고려군 형성과 대안평가의 차이를 비교하였다. 연구결과 제품수준의 경우에서는 대안평가기준이 상표수준보다 추상적인 속성을 이용하고 있는 것으로 나타났고, 상표수준의 경우에는 제품수준보다 구체적인 속성을 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 제품수준과 상표수준에 있어 전형성 평가기준의 영향력이 다른 것으로 나타났는데, 이상적 속성과 속성구조가 고려군을 형성하기 위한 대안의 전형성 평가에 많은 영향을 미쳤으며, 상표수준의 경우에는 공통속성이나 접촉빈도가 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to explore the context dependencies of perceived product typicality and favorableness led by typicality. Major findings and their marketing implications are as follow. First of all, while the typicality effect were evident in simle choice sets which consist of typical product and atypical one, entrance of extreme atypical product eroded the favorableness toward typical product. This implies that competitive advantage of pioneering typical brand can not be sustained when choice set is enlarged with entrance of distinctive atypical brands. Secondly, adding attractive and unattractive common attributes to all the products in choice set reduced the difference among perceived typicality of alternative brands. But added attractive common feature was analyzed to enhance favorableness of both typical brand and extreme atypical product. This finding implies that brands should have distinctive identity to be benefited from competitive adding features among brands with the evolution of market. Finally, when consumers expect to provide the explanation and justification for their evaluations and choices to others, they are shown to prefer and choose typical product which is effective to explain their reasons and to persuade others for their choice. This can be interpreted as consumers favor and choose conventional typical alternatives when they should justify their decision to others as with symbolic and expressive products and public and organizational buying.

A study is presented that examines the effect of personality on preference and purchase intention of positive and negative novelty design products. Participants evaluated their preference and purchase intention on 18 design products including positive and negative novelty design products. A cute Scream character was created as a positive novelty design and a skeleton Mickey character was used as a negative one. We measured extroversion, neuroticism, and visual product aesthetics as individual traits. The results shows that people, of course, prefer(and want to buy) the positive novelty design product to the negative novelty design product. Only in the case of the negative novelty design product, the more neurotic people is, the more they prefer it. Also, among the people who like the negative novelty design product, introvert ones are likely to purchase it but extroverted ones are not. These findings imply that personality plays an important role in liking and purchasing negative novelty design product.

This study investigated the typicality of the leading brand in a specific product category through comparison of personality evaluation. Measuring scales for brand personality was also used to measure the product category's personality which consumers expected generally. By pre-test, an instant coffee category was selected for product category. In the instant coffee category, three brands-'kanu', 'looka', and 'supremo'-were analyzed for this study. As a result, it was found that the leading brand, kanu had the typicality for the instant coffee category. Kanu had the same dimensions of brand personality, which were sincerity, competence, success, and sophistication, as the instant coffee product category had. Comparatively, looka had just three personalities -competence, sincerity, and sophistication-which were similar to personalities in the product category. And, supremo had only two personalities-sophistication and competence-which were similar to personalities in the instant coffee category.

Typicality is usually defined as the degree to which an item is perceived to represent a category. Typicality has been a important subject in consumer behavior because it is related closely with brand preference, awareness and top of mind. The past studies about typicality have focused on brand and store in off-line environment. At the point of time internet shopping mall industry becomes mature, we can expect that most internet users are accustomed to it. So the study about typicality of internet shopping mall is timely. The antecedents and outcomes of typicality of internet shopping mall are mainly studied in this paper. Also, I investigated the influence of the type of internet shopping mall on typicality and the influence of typicality on preference and purchase intention. The followings are the results of this study. Firstly, frequency of exposure and attribute structure explained perceived typicality. Secondly, the type of internet shopping mall was found to be a moderator of the relationship between attribute structure and typicality. Thirdly, there is a positive correlation between typicality and preference. Finally, there is a positive correlation between typicality and purchase intention.

The present study purposed to examine empirically the effects of animosity against a product's country of origin on product evaluation, attitude and purchase intention. For this study, we conducted an experiment of 316 university students in the Metropolitan area. The results of this study suggest that the negative influence of animosity against the country-of-origin on attitude and purchase intention was higher for low-typicality products than for high-typicality ones. This result suggests that the negative influence of animosity against a specific country is not equal among all products from the country, but can vary among the products. For products manufactured in a country other than the country-of-origin, the negative influence of animosity against the country-of-origin did not decrease. This result means that, even for multinational products, animosity against the country-of-origin can have a negative influence on the consumers' response to the products. Based on major findings of this study, both academic and practical issues are discussed. Suggestions for future studies are provided.

This study aims to establish the standards to give the design weight in case when developing equipment designs, by classifying products with similar purposes in accordance with the morphological characteristics and also extracting the typicality. Limiting the sampling group for the extraction of the typicality to a pendant-type and a ceiling buried-type through the preceding case study and consultation with experts, the survey was conducted for majors and relevant workers in six cities, sampling products released in Korea and Japan before May 2016. The 1st survey was about the Morphological classification, and the 2nd times about the extraction of the typicality while the 3rd one was about the classification of the morphological attributes. By drawing the design attributes based on the functional/morphological classification and formative principles, it aimed to establish the base of the future research on the measurement of design weight. The results of this study aim to efficiently establish the roles of design technology in accordance with changes in the lighting fixture market caused by the substitution of light sources, and also to draw the development direction to rapidly cope with the accelerated changes in lighting design types and corporate R&D.
