This study examined the effect of face sensitivities on a consumer's choice of luxury product's logo size. To answer the research question, an experimental design was planed and conducted where the stimulus for the experiment comprised two luxury brands, Louisvuitton and Couronne. For each brand, three different sizes of a logo were considered; no logo, logo with small size, and logo with big size. Each product has an identical design, color, and size except for the size of logos. A total of 115 students were enrolled in the experiment to select one of the logo sizes in each brand. Through the data analysis, we found that shame consciousness and consciousness for others among face sensitivities were significantly associated with the choice of a logo size both in Louisvuitton and Couronne. In addition, there was no significant difference in face sensitivities between male and female, but was significant difference in the choice of a logo size between male and female.

This paper tried to investigate the moderating effect of chemyon sensitivity and usage situation in the relationship between self-presentation and brand preference. Data were collected from students of universities located in Chungnam. The analysis results can be summarized as follows. First of all, the effect of self-presentation on symbolic brand preference was not significant in both public and private use situations. On the other hand, the effect of self-presentation on functional brand preference was found to be significant in both situations. Second, the main effect of chemyon sensitivity was significant only when it had a negative effect on functional brand preference in public situations, but was not significant in other cases. Third, looking at the interaction effect of self-presentation and chemyon sensitivity, the brand preference did not show significant changes in those with relatively low chemyon sensitivity, regardless of the level of self-presentation, whether in public or private situations. This study is meaningful in that it reveals that chemyon sensitivity affects brand preference through interaction with self-presentation, whether the consumption situation is public or private.

컴퓨터의 공손성은 사용자에게 심리적으로 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구는 사용자와 에이전트의 상호작용에서 에이전트의 언어적 메시지에 사용된 공손전략과 에이전트에 대한 지각된 친밀성이 이 에이전트 평가, 사용자 경험, 메시지의 지각된 공손성에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 실험은 2(지각된 친밀성)${\times}2$ (적극적 공손 전략)${\times}2$ (소극적 공손 전략) 완전요인 설계로 실시되었다. 실험 결과, 사용자들은 에이전트가 적극적, 소극적 체면을 존중해 주는 공손 전략을 사용하였을 경우 에이전트를 보다 긍정적으로 평가하고 상호작용을 긍정적으로 경험하였으며, 메시지가 공손하다고 지각하였다. 또한 이러한 효과는 에이전트에 대한 지각된 친밀성 정도에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 친밀한 에이전트와 상호작용하였을 경우 적극적 체면을 위협하는 메시지의 부정적 효과가 완화되었으며 소극적 체면을 존중하는 간접적인 화법의 메시지보다 직접적으로 요구를 전달하는 소극적 체면을 위협하는 메시지가 긍정적으로 평가되었다. 이 결과는 에이전트 메시지에 공손전략을 부여하는 것이 에이전트에 대한 호의적 평가와 긍정적 사용자 경험을 이끌어낼 수 있음을 보여주는 것과 동시에 사용자와 에이전트의 관계 발달 정도에 따라 에이전트 메시지에 사용된 공손 전략의 설계가 변화해야 한다는 것을 시사한다.

This study examined the effects of cultural factors and demographic factors on the perceived appropriateness and likelihood of using five categories of inappropriate negotiation strategies. Five categories of inappropriate negotiation strategies consist of traditional competitive bargaining, attacking opponent's network, false promises, misrepresentation of information and inappropriate information gathering. Two kinds of cultural variables, Hofstede's cultural dimensions and 'Chemyon' dimensions were used as universal, etic variables versus indigenous, emic variables. Survey result shows age and gender had significant effects only for traditional competitive bargaining, but gender and personal negotiation style did not have any effects for the inappropriate strategies. Hofstede's dimensions as well as Chemyon dimensions had significant effect for perceived inappropriateness and likelihood of using inappropriate strategies. While both Chemyon and Hofstede's dimensions were significant, Chemyon accounted for more variance than Hofstede dimensions in most cases. This suggests Chemyon's vital role in explaining Korean negotiators' perception and attitude towards inappropriate negotiation strategies. Implications of the results and future research are discussed.
