본 연구는 제품과 서비스의 무형적 속성을 물리적 무형성, 일반성, 정신적 무형성 등 세 가지 차원으로 나누고, 무형성이 불확실성과 위험지각에 미치는 영향과 불확실성과 위험지각이 소비자의 구매 후의 감정인 만족과 후회에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 그리고 무형성과 불확실성 및 위험지각 관계에서 개인특성인 촉각욕구가 미치는 조절적 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 연구 결과, 정신적 무형성은 불확실성과 위험지각에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 물리적 무형성과 일반성은 불확실성과 위험지각에 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 불확실성은 위험지각에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 불확실성과 위험지각 모두 후회에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 만족에는 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 조절효과 연구 결과, 수단적 촉각욕구가 높은 사람일수록 무형성과 불확실성, 위험지각 사이에 미치는 영향이 높을 것이라고 예측했는데, 정신적 무형성과 위험지각 간의 가설을 제외하고 모두 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 이 연구 결과는 수단적 촉각욕구가 높은 사람일수록 정신적 무형성이 위험에 미치는 영향을 높게 지각한다는 점을 시사해 준다. 그리고 자기 목적적 촉각욕구가 높은 사람은 무형성과 불확실성, 위험지각 간의 영향이 없거나 수단적 촉각욕구보다 낮을 것이라고 예측했는데, 모두 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 목적없이 즐기는 욕구가 높은 소비자는 무형적 속성의 제품과 서비스에서 불확실성, 위험에 크게 영향을 받지 않는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 소비자가 무형적 속성의 제품이나 서비스를 탐색, 의사결정시의 불안정한 심리와 구매 후의 감정에 이르기까지 소비자의 구매 전 과정의 심리를 살펴볼 수 있었다. 그리고 촉각욕구의 성향에 따라 무형적 속성의 제품과 서비스에 대해 불확실성이나 위험을 감지하는 수준의 차이를 살펴볼 수 있어 기존의 집단세분화와는 다르게 새로운 집단세분화의 방향을 제시했다는데 연구의 의의가 있다.

As consumers have transformed into the influential entities in the recent consumption environment, it needs a new concept to describe their characteristics. Drawn on the notion of smart consumer experience, this study views the multiple traits of new consumers as consumer smartness. Therefore, elaborating the concept of consumer smartness, this study aims to develop its measurement and validate it by examining the relationship with external variables. Two online surveys were conducted by a professional survey company that had nationwide consumer panels. A total of 531 adult consumers who had purchased fashion goods online completed a self-administered questionnaires. A series of exploratory and confirmative factor analysis generated 21 measuring items with six underlying constructs of consumer smartness such as innovativeness, opinion leadership, self-disclosure, marketing literacy, dissatisfaction, and technology sophistication. In order to validate the measurement, this study conducted a Pearson's correlation test and structural equation modeling analysis with consumer smartness and external constructs. The result shows that there was a significant positive relationship between consumer smartness and behavioral intentions online. In addition, consumer smartness influenced their shopping and sharing intention which supported the validity of new measurement of consumer smartness. This study provides a theoretical and empirical ground of understanding consumer smartness as new consumer characteristics in the changing environment of fashion retailing.
