Purpose - In recent, a research finds that advanced selling can influence a consumer's choice(Kim et al., 2013). Advanced selling is defined as the new product launching strategy which company allows consumers to preorder new product before its release(Chu & Zhang, 2011). Prior researches have focused on the benefits of advanced selling(e.g., information gathering for demand prediction, an advantage for pricing strategy, and so on) for companies using this strategy(Chen, 2001; Chu & Zhang, 2011; Li & Zhang, 2013; Tang et al., 2004; Xie & Shugan, 2009). However, Kim et al.(2013) find it can also influence a consumer's choice. In detail, they suggest that when consumers use advanced selling, they are likely to prefer high-performance options rather than low-price options based on construal level theory(Trope & Liberman, 2003). In this paper, we tried to expand the prior researches for finding the mechanism of the influence of advanced selling on a consumer's choice. The purpose of this research is to test the mediating effect on the influence of advanced selling. Research design, data, and methodology - To find the mechanism of the influence of advanced selling, we designed an experiment for testing mediation effect. we recruited 93 students from a university. We assigned participants into one of two groups using randomization method. The participants with each group were given a scenario describing the sales strategy. Finally, they made a choice between high-performance option and low-price option. Sequentially, they also responded some questions for testing mediation effect. Results - First, we replicated prior research to test the influence of advanced selling. As a result, we could find that consumers prefer the high-performance option when they preorder it to purchase at the time of consumption. Thus, the replication result is the same as prior research. Second, we tested that advanced selling can influence the perception of temporal distance. The results confirmed that consumers perceived longer temporal distance in advanced selling condition(β = 1.575, SE = 0.272, p < 0.001). Third, we predicted that temporal distance can increase the importance of desirable attributes and decrease the importance of feasible attributes. The results suggested that temporal distance decreased significantly the importance of attributes related to feasibility(β = -0.19, SE = 0.07, p < 0.01), however, it had non-significant effect on increasing the importance of desirable attributes. Finally, we used Sobel-test for testing mediation effect, and it confirmed that the importance of feasible attributes had mediating role of the influence of advanced selling(Sobel test statistic = -2.110, SE = 0.111, p < 0.05). Conclusions - In this paper, we tried to find the mechanism of the influence on advanced selling from a consumer's choice. With an experiment, we confirmed that the importance of feasible attributes could mediate the effect on advanced selling. Therefore, we suggested some theoretical and practical contributions from this research. Finally, we discussed research limitations and suggested future research topics.

Most corporations engage in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. Consumers are aware of CSR activities in different domains and use the perception and evaluation in purchase decision making. This study reveals how the relationship between consumer perception about a fashion corporation's CSR activities and product evaluation (such as perceived expertise and attractiveness) affects behavioral intention. This study discussed implications for store designs depending on whether it is actively engaging in CSR communication. Two virtual fashion store images of modern or eco design were used as stimuli. The study was conducted from July to August, 2018 based on women in their 20s and 30s. We collected 154 eco designs and 157 modern design responses. The findings of the study show that consumer perceptions of CSR activities affected perceived expertise and attractiveness. Further, perceived expertise and attracti-veness led to purchase intention and time spent in the store. The store design variation had no differences in mean values of consumer perception; however, evaluation and purchase intention indicated that a varied store design emphasized different corporation capabilities.

다양한 기관의 사회적 활동에 대한 효과는 기부수혜자들을 표현하는 정보의 특징과 수혜시점의 시간지향성의 상호작용을 통해 소비자들에게 전달되며, 이는 주체기관의 사회적 활동에 대해 공감하는 정도에 의해 사회적 지원활동의 평가에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기부수혜시점의 시간지향성과(단기지향성 vs. 장기지향성) 수혜자 인식가능성(개인 vs. 집단) 상호작용을 중심으로 기부 메시지를 구성하였고, 이를 실험을 통해 검정하였다. 기부수혜시점의 시간지향성이 가까운 미래이고 수혜자가 특정된 개인인 경우, 긍정적인 태도와 감정으로 메시지를 평가하였다. 이에 기부수혜시점의 시간지향성이 먼 미래이고 수혜자가 집단으로 표현된 경우 기부태도와 기부감정에 긍정적 효과를 보였다. 또한 매개된 조절효과 검정 결과 주체기관에 대한 공감은 수혜자 인식가능성의 조절효과를 기부 태도, 긍정적 감정에 부분적으로 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 기부에서의 주체기관의 지원활동에 대한 시간지향성과 수혜자 인식가능성의 영향을 이해하는 새로운 시각을 제시함으로써 효과적인 사회적 활동 메시지 전략을 수립할 수 있는 실무적 시사점을 제공하고 있다.

관찰자가 대상이나 상황에 관해 느끼는 주관적인 간극을 심리적 거리라고 한다. 심리적 거리는 개인이 그 대상과 상황에 대해 취하는 의사결정과 행위에 영향을 끼친다. 본 연구는 친숙감의 수준이 심리적 거리의 형성에 끼치는 효과를 탐색하였다. 친숙한 자극이 덜 친숙한 자극에 비해 심리적으로 더 가깝게 느껴진다면, 자극이 유발하는 친숙감 수준이 자극의 지각된 공간적 거리와 상호작용할 것으로 예상하였다. 각 실험에서 참가자들은 먼저 사전 노출 단계에서 세 개의 무의미 단어를 경험하였다. 선행연구들에 따르면 친숙감은 자극의 노출 횟수와 지각적 유창성(perceptual fluency)의 영향을 받는다. 따라서 참가자들이 단어 판단 과제를 수행하는 동안, 무의미 단어들은 각기 다른 수준의 빈도(실험 1)와 선명도(실험 2)로 제시되었다. 그 다음 단계에서 참가자들은 가장 친숙한 무의미 단어와 가장 덜 친숙한 무의미 단어를 가지고 거리 스트룹 과제를 수행하였다. 각각의 단어들은 깊이 단서가 분명한 장면 사진들 속에서 지각적으로 가깝거나 먼 장소에 출현하였다. 그 결과, 두 실험 모두에서 단어의 친숙감과 공간적 거리 간 상호작용이 유의미하였다. 친숙한 단어는 가까운 위치에서 제시되었을 때 빠른 판단반응을 유발하였고 상대적으로 덜 친숙한 단어는 먼 위치에서 제시되었을 때 빠른 판단 반응을 유발하였다. 이러한 결과는 친숙감에 대한 상위인지적 평가(metacognitive evaluation)가 심리적 거리의 형성을 뒷받침하는 주요 요인임을 의미한다.

Purpose - The goals of this study are the following. First, this study focused on customer satisfaction of in-flight service. Specifically, in-flight duty free items were considered because of their potential value related with the differentiated strategy of airline companies. Second, this study analyzed feasible strategies that would fence off the aversive attitudes of consumers toward innovation regarding in-flight duty free items. Third, this study strived to discover implicit routes related with the reactions of of consumers to innovation. Fourth, the construal level theory was applied to the context of in-flight service. Psychological distance is expected to promote acceptance of innovation for duty free items. Research design, data, and methodology - This study consisted of three experiments. All data were collected through the participation of university students. First, the experiment employed a 2×2 between-subject design. The first independent variable was temporal distance (long vs. short of navigation time). The second independent variable was innovativeness (innovative duty free items vs. typical items). Further, experiment 2 involved a 2×2 between-subject design. The first independent variable was social distance (typical vs. atypical stewardess image). The second was innovativeness that was based on a pattern similar to that of the prior experiment. The third experiment involved a 2×2×2 design. The first and second independent variables were temporal distance and item innovation, respectively, based on the method of experiment 1. The third independent variable was cognitive depletion (depletion vs. control condition). Results - Experiment 1 demonstrated that the innovation of duty free items would need to consider the journey time of the airline. Specifically, innovative items were preferred in case of a long journey; typical items, however, were liked in a short journey. Further, experiment 2 demonstrated that, in spite of a short journey, innovative items would be preferred if an atypical stewardess was serving. An atypical stewardess was linked with social distance, and the psychological effects would activate a creative and flexible mindset that would fit with innovative duty free items. The final experiment was accomplished for the examination of cognitive processing of psychological distance on innovation-acceptance. Specifically, if the effects were related with systematic processing, then cognitive effort would be needed. In contrast, if they were related with heuristic processing, then such efforts would not be required. The same pattern appeared under both cognitive depletion and control condition; therefore, the effects of psychological distance were implied to be heuristic processing. Conclusions - Managers need to consider the navigation time, stewardess concepts, and depletion of consumers as important factors for innovative strategy regarding in-flight service. Longer journeys are more successful for innovative trials. Further, a more atypical stewardess image is more successful for atypical service. Long navigation and unfamiliar stewardesses may activate creative and flexible thinking. Further, cognitive depletion of consumers is not a dominant factor of psychological distance effects, because the effects are not related with systematic processing, but with heuristic processing.
