The methodology involves a comprehensive review of existing literature on character marketing, brand awareness, and consumer purchase intention, supplemented by case studies of successful character collaborations in the F&B sector. The findings reveal that character collaborations significantly impact brand awareness and purchase intentions, particularly among younger consumers like Generation MZ. These collaborations not only rekindle nostalgia but also introduce new and exciting consumer experiences, effectively attracting a wide demographic. The success of character-themed products, from Pokémon bread to Coca-Cola's League of Legends collaboration, underscores the strategy's effectiveness in boosting brand recognition and consumer engagement. The implications of this research are manifold for the F&B industry. Firstly, it highlights the importance of leveraging popular characters to forge emotional connections with consumers. Secondly, it suggests that product development should closely align with consumer preferences and market trends to maximize appeal. Lastly, it positions character collaboration as a strategic marketing tool that not only enhances product sales but also strengthens brand loyalty and facilitates sustained brand growth.

Character education is an opportunity for students to develop character through teaching values in schools. In the past, students have been taught values at home but contemporary society has strongly encouraged the public schools to provide time for children to learn values because society is facing a crisis of human values that affects the behavior of individuals. According to research findings, the primary benefit of character education is to develop the intellectual, personal, and social aspects of students. However, there are some problems concerning how to teach values and how to evaluate student outcomes in public schools. This article explores the current character education in the U. S. through a review of the literature in order to reach a better understanding of how character education might be included in the Family and Consumer Sciences Education curriculum.

The degree to which parents accept children's opinions or attitudes when they engage in dialogue may be connected with consumer socialization and affect the criteria for the evaluation of character fashion products. This study examined the effects of mothers' childrearing attitudes on consumer socialization and the evaluation criteria for character fashion products for children. A questionnaire was conducted via the Internet on 310 mothers with children aged between four and twelve. The results of the study showed: First, childrearing attitudes were divided into four dimensions: hostility, autonomy, acceptance, and control. Consumer socialization was divided into communication in regards to consumption, consumption control, and the awareness of social relations. The evaluation criteria for character fashion products for children were divided into educational/utilitarian values, emotional values, and social values. Second, mothers were divided into an acceptance group, a moderation group, and a hostility group based on childrearing attitudes. The group with hostile childrearing attitudes had control over their children's consumption and were conscious of others in the process of consumption. The group with accepting childrearing attitudes considered educational/utilitarian values and emotional values when they purchased character fashion products for children. The group with hostile childrearing attitudes considered social values. Third, autonomous childrearing attitudes had the largest influence on communication in regards to consumption. Controlling childrearing attitudes had the largest influence on consumption control and the awareness of social relations. Controlling childrearing attitudes had the largest influence on social/utilitarian and emotional values; however hostile childrearing attitudes had the largest influence on social values.

지역이미지 향상을 통한 지역 활성화 전략으로서 경쟁력 있는 세계적 축제로 발돋움하기 위한 지자체와 축제간의 경쟁은 심화되어가고 있으며 각 지자체는 경쟁적으로 축제와 상징물을 양산해오고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 차별화 된 축제 이미지를 소비자에게 전달할 수 있는 효율적인 커뮤니케이션을 하여 독창적인 지역문화형성에 기여할 수 있는 캐릭터에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 캐릭터를 축제에 대한 상징적 기호 표현활동이라고 볼 때, 기호학은 직관이나 아이디어에 의존하던 캐릭터 창작과는 구별되는 논리적인 틀을 제공해 줄 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 캐릭터의 커뮤니케이션 효율성 제고를 위하여 캐릭터를 기호학적으로 분석하고 캐릭터 컨셉, 축제 개최취지, 지역문화의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 소비자 이미지 실증분석 결과, 캐릭터의 기호학적인 해석 요소가 지역문화 형성에 미치는 영향은 캐릭터에 반영된 각 지역문화 특성과 캐릭터 컨셉의 기표에 따라 각각 다른 요인에 영향을 미치고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며 실증분석 결과를 바탕으로 소비자에게 의미공유 될 수 있는 캐릭터 제작의 가이드라인을 제시하였다.

요즘은 브랜드전쟁의 시대라고 한다. 정보와 기술발달에 의한 21세기 시장환경 하에서 기업간 경쟁요소와 소비자의 선택기준이 변화함에 따라 브랜드자산은 기업의 가치를 결정하는 중요한 요소로 등장하게 되었다. 소비자의 머릿속에 브랜드의 변별력을 제고하는 방법으로써 TV광고를 통한 브랜드광고에서의 캐릭터 사용은 일반적이고 유용한 방법으로 오래전부터 활용되어 왔다. 마케팅차원에서 브랜드의 인지도를 높이는 수단으로서 캐릭터의 역할과 가능성을 좀더 상세히 알아보고 미국 광고대행사인 FCB사의 그리드 모델을 통해 TV광고에서의 카테고리별 캐릭터 사용패턴과 관여도와의 상관관계를 분석해 보았다. 또한 캐릭터 사용소재별 분석, 그리고 표현양식에 따른 분석을 통해 최근의 카테고리별 캐릭터 사용태도와 기법 등을 조사하였다.

The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a decision on the case between AT&T and Concepcion, which confirmed the contractuality of a defense as a threshold to distinguish between what is a viable defense for invalidation of consumer arbitration agreement and what is not. In this paper, the adhesiveness of arbitration clause, which is a unique character for consumer arbitration, is investigated in the U.S. as a legal defense to invalidate the consumer arbitration agreements, and its contractuality and related legal doctrines are analyzed. The legal issues of consumer arbitration have been analysed in several legal perspectives including the voluntary, knowing and intelligent doctrine, doctrine of separation, contract of adhesion and the contractuality of defenses. Among all of these, the first three issues are related with arbitration clause, and the last one, the contractuality of defenses, reflects the nature of defenses invalidating the consumer arbitration agreement.
