This study is composed of analyses about whether intensifying the attribute level of alternatives presented to consumers makes the effect of intensifying attributes and there is any significant difference among effects of the intensified attributes. For this, the most favorite alternative is extracted from each group of computers and jeans through conjoint analysis, which is used as a standard alternative during the process of experimentation. In conclusion, this research suggests that in terms of business, by intensifying the latter attribute of products rather than the early attribute, an enterprise acquire distinct and competitive superiority over similar competing products (esp. functional products), and theoretically, by expanding and analyzing decision models it can predict consumers' behaviors more correctly.

최근 국내에서 유행하기 시작한 스키니 진(skinny jean)은 혈액순환 장애, 하복부 장기에 가해지는 압력으로 인하여 소화불량, 변비 또는 생리불순 등 여성 건강을 위협하는 의복 종류이다. 본 연구의 목적은 의복의 쾌적성을 측정할 수 있는 척도인 의복압 검사와 스키니 진의 주관적인 착용감 검사 통하여 의복의 기능적인 면에서 인체의 건강에 적합한지 분석하고자 함이다. 사이즈 코리아를 참고하여 선정한 20대 여성의 평균 사이즈에 해당하는, 인지도 높은 3개 브랜드의 청바지를 시료로 사용하여 4명의 피험자에게 착용하게 한 후, 동작을 변화시키며 변화하는 의복압을 측정하고 주관적 감각 평가를 실시하였다. 첫째, 의복압 측정결과, 엉덩이 최대 돌출 부위가 자세와 상관없이 의복압이 가장 높게 나왔고 무릎 부위 Standing 자세에서 sitting down on the floor 자세로 변할수록 의복압이 높게 나왔다. 둘째, 주관적 감각에 대한 평가 결과는 모든 자세에서 허리벨트 부위가 가장 압박감을 크게 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 의복압과 주관적 감각의 관계분석에 있어서 스키니 진의 대부분의 부위에서 의복압이 높을수록 압박감을 느끼는 것으로 나타났으나 대퇴부 부위는 의복압이 낮은데도 불구하고 압박감을 크게 느끼는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the consumers who use the level of price as the indicator of the product quality. In order to implement the purpose of this study, Jeans market had been segmented by the mixture regression model, and price response function was calibrated for each segment. Based on the types of price response function, segments were allocated into one of two groups; the group using the level of price as the quality indicator or the group not using the level of price as that. Then, characteristics of both groups were compared in terms of product attributes and demographic variables. Data were co]looted from the sample of the 23o undergraduate and graduate students in Seoul. For the data analysis, mixture regression model, conjoint analysis, and t-test were used. As a result, jeans market was divided into 5 segments. Segment 1,2,3 were allocated into the group not using the level of price as the quality indicator while segment 4,5 were done into the other group.

Cotton, rayon/cotton, and Tencel twill weave fabrics were used to investigate the effect of fiber types on the cellulase washing finish. And twill. basket, and derivative weave cotton fabrics were used to study the weave effect. Various fabrics were treated with neutral cellulase varying treatment times and with acid cellulase, stone, and stone-neutral cellulase respectively for two hours in a rotary washer. Weight loss decreased in the order of rayon/cotton> cotton> Tencel, and basket and derivative weave fabrics lost more weight than twill weave fabric. Color difference decreased in the order of cotton> Tencel> rayon/cotton, and twill weave fabric had larger color difference than derivative and basket weave fabrics. Back staining decreased in the order of cotton> rayon/cotton> Tencel, and twill weave fabric had larger back staining than derivative and basket weave fabrics. Tear strength retention decreased in the order of rayon/cotton> cotton> Tencet and twill weave fabric had larger tear strength retention than derivative and basket weave fabrics. Flex stiffness retention decreased in the order of cotton> Tencel> rayon/cotton, and in the order of derivative> twill> basket weave. In cotton fibers, damage of primary wall was observed. And the cellulase treatment on Tencel seemed to roughen the fabric surface slightly, and to fibril fibers along the fiber axis.
