본 연구는 소비자가 다른 사람과 차별되며 특별하게 지각되고자 하는 성향을 나타내는 소비자의독특성 욕구와 의복에 대한 관심이 브랜드 인식, 브랜드 충성, 및 구매의도와의 어떠한 관계를 지니고 있는지를 밝히고자 하였다. 특히 이러한 관계에 있어 문화간의 차이가 있는지를 알아보기 위하여 한국과 미국 소비자를 대상으로, 소비자특성이 구매의사결정에 미치는 과정의 모형을 검증한 후, 두 모형을 비교 분석하였다. 자료는 설문지를 사용하여 한국과 미국대학생을 중심으로 수집되었으며, 응답이 부정확하거나 불성실한 설문지를 제외하고, 총 485부-한국 271부와 미국 214부-만이 최종 자료 분석에 사용되었다 본 연구에서 사용한 통계분석방법으로 신뢰도 검증을 위하여 SPSS 11.0을 이용하여 신뢰도 계수를 구하였으며, Prelis 2와 Lisrel 8.53으로 확인적 요인분석 및 모형검증을 실시하였다. 한국과 미국소비자의 선택친 모형을 비교한 결과, 전반적인 모형의 구조에도 차이를 보였을 뿐 아니라 각 변수간의 영향력에도 차이가 있음을 나타냈다. 소비자의 독특성 욕구의 하위차원인 '독창적 선택'과 '브랜드 충성도'의 관계는 두 그룹간의 반대의 성향을 보였으며, '비대증적 선택'과 '브랜드 인식'도 또한 한국 소비자는 정의 관계를 보인 반면, 미국소비자는 부의 관계를 나타냈다. 이와 더불어 유사성을 회피하려는 한국소비자들은 브랜드에 충성하는 경향이 있는 반면, 미국소비자들은 브랜드 인식도가 높은 것으로 나타나 두 문화간의 차이가 있음을 뒷받침하였다. '브랜드 충성도'는 두 집단 모두 '구매의도'에 상대적으로 높은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

The main purposes of this study are to find the causality among residents' loyalty to an environmental festival and its influential factors and, based upon the findings, to explore environmental festivals' developmental vision with special reference to Hampyung Butterfly Festival. Under these aims, this study applies structural equation modeling(SEM). The structural model for SEM analysis is composed of four independent variables which consist of residents' attachment(RA) to their region where its own environmental festival is provided, residents' participational intention(RP) to the festival, the economic effects(EE) of the festival, and the communication(CM) between the residents and the festival providers, one intermediate variable, residents' satisfaction(RS) from the festival, and one final dependent variable, residents' loyalty(RL) to the festival. The causality among these variables is hypothesized as follows; Among the independent variables, RP, EE, and CM have effects only on RS and RA has an effect on both RS and RL. And RS has an effect on RL. The facts found from the SEM are summed up as follows; First, (1) RP and CM turn out to have statistically significant effects on RS, (2) RA is confirmed to have a statistically very significant effect on both RS and RL, and (3) RS is also proved to show a statistically very significant effect on RL. Second, the total effects on RL of independent variables are stronger in the order of RA, CM, and RP. Third, EE seems to have no effect on RS, consequently no effect on RL, either. The reason why EE has no effect looks like to be due to environmental festivals' peculiar features. These findings offer the following suggestions for the future of environmental festivals in the part of festival providers. Firstly, to be successful in the festival, they have to provoke RL above all. Second, to do so, they need to encourage RA, CM, and RP in the mentioned order in the long run. Third, but for a short period, they had better concentrate upon promoting RS.

Mobile messenger services (MMSs), such as Kakaotalk, Wetalk, Line, and Whatsapp, are gaining popularity worldwide because of communicating with other people without any cost. We examined key antecedents of user loyalty to understand user's decision-making process in the MMS environment. To capture a long-term relationship with service providers, we posit relational commitment and user satisfaction as key predictors of user loyalty. Moreover, the effects of perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment, and corporate image on user's decision-making processes were examined. The proposed model was tested by applying partial least squares to data from 220 experienced Kakaotalk users. The findings of this study found that both relational commitment and user satisfaction play an important role in enhancing user loyalty in the MMS context. The analysis results indicate that corporate image influences relational commitment and user loyalty through user satisfaction. The analysis results help MMS providers establish management or marketing strategies to effectively improve user loyalty.
