Fashion stress is a pertinent aspect of modern consumer culture that has been underexplored in academic research. This study developed a conceptual framework of fashion stress and a multidimensional scale to measure consumers' fashion stress. The qualitative study included literature reviews on consumption stress, shopping stress, and consumer behavior, as well as focus group interviews to gain insight into various dimensions of fashion stress. NVivo 12.0 was used to analyze the qualitative data and identify core categories following the grounded theory methodology. The quantitative study involved a preliminary and a primary surveys to verify the validity and reliability of the fashion stress scale. A total of 220 questionnaires were used for data analysis. The results show that fashion stress consists of eight factors: care, shopping, fit, brand, financial, closet, style, and disposal. Choice difficulty plays a significant role in all factors of fashion stress. Moreover, shopping stress had a negative impact on impulse buying, while other factors such as fit, brand, closet, and disposal stress had a positive impact on impulse buying. Thus, fashion stress is a potential antecedent of impulsive consumer behavior. The results also confirm the validity and reliability of the scale. The fashion stress scale developed in this study offers researchers a valuable tool for assessing and understanding consumer experiences.

본 연구는 지속적으로 성장하고 있는 모바일 내비게이션 서비스를 이용하는 소비자들의 만족도에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 모바일 내비게이션 서비스를 이용하는 1200명의 소비자를 중심으로 서비스 이용행태와 만족도에 영향을 미치는 변인들에 대해 살펴보았다. 연구 결과 서비스를 이용 소비자는 주 1-2회, 3-4회에서 주말 점심, 주중 아침에 사용량이 높게 나타났다. 서비스에 대한 소비자 만족에 가장 높은 영향을 미치는 것은 핵심 기능성 차원으로 나타났다. 소비감정에서 긍정감정은 정의 방향, 부정감정은 부의 방향으로 영향력을 지니며, 혁신성은 통계적으로 유의하지 않는다. 이를 통해 모바일 내비게이션 서비스 이용 소비자들의 이용행태와 만족도 형성에 대해 분석할 수 있었으며, 차후 소비자만족을 위한 서비스 전략을 구축할 수 있을 것이며 내비게이션 산업의 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study tried to verify the effect of situational consumer animosity on consumer attitudes and behaviors with the moderating effect of cultural internalization. For this purpose, 460 valid survey data were collected from Koreans. The causal and regulatory relationships between the variables were analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis and structural model analysis using AMOS with the collected data. It was confirmed that the national situational animosity had a negative effect on quality evaluation, while personal situational animosity did not. Also, the positive relationship between quality evaluation and purchase intention was confirmed. In addition, it was found that internalization of individual culture moderates the effect of quality evaluation on purchase intention.

The main purpose of this study was to examine pathways from maternal parenting behavior to externalizing problem behavior through deviant peer affiliation and self-concept. A sample of 405 high school students (184 boys and 221girls) in the Gyeonggi-do region of South Korea completed questionnaires focusing on maternal monitoring and adolescent deviant peer affiliation, self-concept, and externalizing problem behavior. Data were analyzed by structural equation modeling. The results demonstrated that maternal monitoring indirectly influences adolescent externalizing problem behavior through deviant peer affiliation and/or self-concept. When maternal monitoring was perceived as low by adolescents, they were more involved with deviant peers. This was followed by a more negative self-concept. Finally, negative self-concept resulted in more externalizing problem behavior by adolescents. The results emphasize that deviant peer affiliation plays a crucial role in increasing adolescent externalizing problem behavior.

The data for this study was collected from the nationwide consumer panels through online survey. A total of 306 subjects aged from 20 to 39 years old and had purchased fashion goods using mobile devices completed a self-administered questionnaire. A series of exploratory and confirmative factor analysis identified four dimensions of mobile fashion shopping features such as tangibility, ubiquity, security and personalization. A structural equation modeling test was employed to examine the relationship of consumer characteristics, mobile fashion shopping features, and consumer behavior. Market mavenship had a positive influence on the perceived features of mobile fashion shopping. Innovativeness negatively influenced tangibility, ubiquity, and personalization. Each construct of mobile shopping features positively affected satisfaction while security had only a direct negative impact on purchasing intention.

This study explores the major factors that are likely to affect the acceptance and resistance of innovative products and services. The TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) has been widely used for understanding consumer acceptance of new technology. This model displays perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use as antecedents of intention to adopt and use. However, research has reported a variety of preceding variables for technology acceptance. In addition, considering paradoxes of technology, research regarding both acceptance and resistance in an integrated model can explain consumer perception and behavior in detail. The results of this study states that relative benefits, degree of innovation in technology, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have had positive influence on the intention to adopt but negative impact on that of resistance. However, alterations of usage and perceived risk positively affects resistance, but also have negative effects on the intention to adopt. Finally, intention to adopt has comparatively greater influence than that of resistance on intention to use. Theoretical and managerial implications of the results are also discussed.

Purpose - Online product review has become a crucial part of the online retailer's market performance for a wide range of products. This research aims to investigate how an individual reviewer's review frequency and timing affect her/his average attitude toward products. Research design, data, and methodology - To conduct reviewer-level analysis, this study uses 42,172 posted online review messages generated by 6,941 identified reviewers for 59 movies released in the South Korea from July 2015 to December 2015. This study adopts Tobit model specification to take into account the censored nature and the selection bias arising from the nature of J-shaped distribution of movie rating. Results - Our estimation results support that the negative impact of review frequency and timing on valence. Furthermore, review timing has an inverted-U relationship with the user's average valence and enhance the negative effect of review frequency. Conclusions - This study contributes to the growing literature on the understanding how eWOM is generated at the individual consumer level. On the basis of the main empirical findings, this study provides insights into building a recommendation system in online retail store based on the consumer's review history data - frequency, timing, and valence.
