Third, the significant variables affecting internet purchase behaviors of items included grade, allowance, rank in class, the number of hours on the internet. As the self-concept gets higher, the frequence of the impulsive purchase and imitation purchases gets lower.

본 연구는 심리적으로 불안정하여 준거집단이나 사회의 영향을 민감하게 받으며, 의복과 외모에 관심이 높은 청소년을 대상으로 전통적 가치관이 무너지고 소비 지향적인 물질주의 가치관이 팽배한 사회 분위기 속에 이들의 심리적 변수인 가치관이 의복행동에 영향을 미치는 지를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법은 서울의 강남과 강북에 위치한 고등학교 1학년 남녀 학생 530명을 대상으로 선행연구에서 사용된 척도를 사용한 실증연구를 하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS/PC$^{+}$프로그램을 사용하여 t-test, ANOVA, MANOVA등을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 물질주의 가치관은 청소년의 의복착용행동에 영향을 미쳐, 물질주의 가치관이 높은 청소년은 물질주의 가치관이 낮은 청소년에 비해 의복 착용시 심미성을 더 중시하고 의복에 대한 관심과 의존도가 높으며, 의복을 또래집단과 비슷하게 입으려는 동조성도 더 높았으며 의복을 통해 과시하려는 경 향도 높았다. 그러나 의복착용시 정숙성은 그리 중요하게 생각하지 않았다. 물질주의 가치관은 청소년이 의복을 구매할 때도 영향을 미쳐, 물질주의 가치관이 높은 청소년의 의복구매동기는 물질주의 가치관이 낮은 청소년에 비해 더 충동적이고 과시적이며, 유행과 개성 지향적인 것을 알 수 있었으나 실질적이거나 실용적인 구매동기는 상대적으로 약한 것으로 나타났다. 물질주의 가치관에 따라 청소년의 의복 구매시 사용하는 정보원천과 즐겨 구매하는 장소도 차이가 나타나, 물질주의 가치관이 높은 청소년이 물질주의 가치관이 낮은 청소년보다 의복 구매시 정보를 얻기 위해 더 많은 정보원천을 사용하며, 다양한 구매장소를 활용하며, 더 비싼 의류제품을, 더 자주 구매하며, 쇼핑을 위해서도 더 많은 시간을 할애하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과로 청소년의 물질주의 가치관은 이들의 의복관심과 의복착용 그리고 구매에 지대한 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있다.

Korean middle-aged women, who are securing economic stability of their own along with the national economic growth, have had much concern in their outward appearance. Especially, middle-aged women's concern of appearance triggered by their various social/leisure activities and appreciation of aesthetic sense leads to the interest in their outward appearance, thus naturally stimulating their purchasing sentiments. This paper attempts to identify the level of middle-aged women's concern of appearance and analyze how this level of concern affects their behavior in purchasing cosmetic products. Our analytical findings include: 1. From the t-test and distributional analysis of points of each factor on the group, the high-interest type 1 (108 persons) and low-interest type 2 (91 person) in terms of 'concern of appearance' turned out to exist. 2. Five factors of cosmetics-purchasing behavior were derived that are fashion-leading type, compulsive buying type, brand-dependent type, pondering type, planned buying type and loyal-to-brand type. 3. Cosmetics-purchasing behavior varied according to the subjects' level of concern of appearance.

Therefore, the purposes of this study were 1) to examine psychological factors that affected addictive shopping orientation of consumers, 2) to explore the effects addictive shopping orientation on the post-purchase emotions(positive emotion/negative emotion), 3) to examine the effect of post-purchase emotions on post-purchase behaviors (repurchasing/refund and exchange/negative word of mouth). 4) the study explored the differences in terms of effects of addictive shopping orientations on post-purchase emotions and behaviors, depending on the retailing channel (online and off line). The study performed a questionnaire survey for female adults older than 18 years old, living Seoul and Pusan areas.
