The purpose of this study was to investigate students' satisfaction with, perceived ease of movement of, and perceived fit of high school girls' uniforms according to the uniform design. "P" high school, with a one-piece dress-type uniform, and "H" high school, with a two-piece type uniform, were selected for this study. Sixty-five female students from each school participated in the study. The questionnaire was composed of 21 questions about the school uniforms' purchase behavior, design, fit, ease of movement, and modification and participants' demographic information. Students from both schools were generally satisfied with the uniform design. However, in the open-ended response section, many "P" high school students responded that the fact that the one-piece dress pulled up when sitting or raising the hand made it uncomfortable. On the other hand, "H" high school students responded that the skirt was uncomfortable, because it left the body or underwear exposed when the wind blew due to the many pleats in the skirt. In the assessment of the ease of movement, "P" high school students were more likely to describe the uniform as uncomfortable than "H" high school students. Many students responded that they modified their school uniforms, and the length of the skirt and one-piece dress was the main part that was modified. This study suggests that growing female high school students are unsatisfied with the school uniforms' design and fit. Additionally, the perceived fit and satisfaction levels depend on the uniform design.

This study examines the effect of cosmetic certification marks on consumer behavior. The underlying objectives of this study are threefold. First, it explores whether the certification mark inserted into the cosmetic package-such as marks denoting quality assurances, ethical practices (specifically, pertaining to animal testing), and recycling packaging-affects consumer responses. Second, it investigates whether a higher number of certification marks leads to heightened positive consumer responses. Third, it analyzes the potential moderating effect of consumers' certification mark knowledge on the relationship between certification marks and consumer responses. In the pretest, certification marks with higher recognition were selected as stimuli, and a survey involving a total of 550 male and female consumers was conducted. The collected data were analyzed through ANOVA and post-hoc tests. The findings of this study confirm a significant difference in consumer responses to products based on the certification marks inserted in the cosmetic packaging. Compared to clusters without a certification mark, groups with two or more certifications (recycling certification + ethics certification, recycling certification + quality certification, recycling certification + ethics certification + quality certification) exhibit significant consumer responses. Second, more certification marks did not result in an increase in positive consumer responses. Third, a moderating effect of consumers' cosmetic certification knowledge on the certification mark-consumer response relationship was not found. The findings of this study have implications for developing product promotion strategies that leverage cosmetic certification marks as a marketing tool.

Consumer decisions and responses about the price to pay vary. Some consumers might decide the appropriate price range prior to shopping, while others compare and evaluate prices. Especially, consumers can have different reference points for price evaluation based on various price searching behavior that represent heterogeneous responses for prices in the clothing purchase decision-making process. This research identifies how consumers evaluate the price and helps explain their decision-making based on price searches. By analyzing qualitative research, we found that consumers recalled price information as a representative indicator and product level price information through the internal search. Their level of internal references can be an important factor affecting price evaluations. In addition, each consumer groups were subdivided into high and low external searching. The four types of responses to price were classified in the price search process and the identified differences in the price evaluation. Therefore, pricing strategy needs to be differentiated for these various consumer types.

Recently China has become one of the major markets for luxury brands. In addition, practicing social responsibility by manufacturers of luxury brands has become ubiquitous because consumers' perception of such practices may affect their purchase decisions positively. This study explored Chinese shoppers' perception of luxury brands' social responsibility practices and their information seeking behavior. In this study, value congruence was used as a theoretical framework. Twelve participants were selected out of customers in a shopping mall in Beijing, and they were subject to in-depth interview. The interview consisted of open-ended questions about perception of luxury brands' social responsibility practices, sources to access such practices, and the degree of personal value congruence to such practices as well as demographic information. Qualitative approach was used to analyze the data. Half of the participants indicated their awareness of the social responsibility practices of luxury brands, which sets up a foundation for understanding importance of luxury brands' social responsibility practices. Approximately half of the participants preferred to learn about luxury brands' socially responsible practices online especially via social media. These findings imply that Chinese luxury shoppers' trust and preference for the companies would be enhanced by effective development and advertisement of companies' social responsibility practices, and thus provide luxury companies with useful information on marketing strategies.

Purpose - The purpose of this research is to identify how idiocentric consumers and allocentric consumers respond to retail store environments and how such responses affect their consumer behaviors in a sustainable consumption setting. Method - Data were collected from 422 U.S. adult consumers via a web-based survey. Two store settings were created, perceptually related (eco-friendly clothing displayed with greenery)or perceptually-unrelated (eco-friendly clothing displayed without greenery), and consumers were asked to take the survey based on the given store setting. Results - Allocentric consumers perceived a product and its display environment were related whereas idiocentric consumers perceived the two were unrelated. Also, the former exhibited higher purchase intentions when the product and store environment were related (eco-friendly clothing displayed with greenery), but the latter did when the two were unrelated (eco-friendly clothing displayed without greenery). Conclusions - This research suggests that retailers should consider consumer self-concept at personal-level when implementing marketing strategies. This research also demonstrates that consumers are influenced by store environment in relation to their self-concept and that self-concept can be temporarily modified by various stimuli such as visual displays.

최근 기초화장품 트렌드로 클린화장품, 비건화장품 등이 새롭게 다양한 출시가 이루어지고 있으며 시장 내 성장하고 있다. 한동안 화장품의 성분에 대한 관심과 영향이 커지면서 기능성화장품, 코스메슈티컬화장품, 더마화장품이 신뢰를 얻고 인기가 있던 가운데, 효능 외의 요소를 소구하는 비건 브랜드와 제품에 대한 관심이 커지고 있는 중이다. 이러한 변화에 있어 소비자의 라이프스타일과 사회적가치의 영향관계가 영향이 있을 것으로 보이는데 이를 분석하고, ESG가 강조되는 사회 분위기 속에 클린 또는 비건화장품의 소비가 일종의 자기표현의 욕구를 충족시켜주는 역할로써의 관계가 있을지 알아볼 필요가 있겠다. 본 연구는 화장품 소비자를 대상으로 라이프스타일 유형과 자기표현욕구가 사회적가치를 매개하여 비건화장품 구매의도에 미치는 영향에 관하여 분석하였다. 라이프스타일 유형을 외모지향형, 건강지향형, 유행추구형으로 구분하였다. 전국에 거주하는 화장품 소비자로부터 수집한 설문지 321부를 실증분석에 사용하였다. SPSS v26.0과 PROCESS macro v4.2를 사용하여 매개변수가 하나인 단일매개모형을 기반으로 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 외모지향형을 제외한 라이프스타일 유형인 건강지향형 및 유행추구형과 자기표현욕구는 사회적가치에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 사회적가치는 비건화장품 구매의도에 정(+)의 방향으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 외모지향형, 건강지향형 및 유행추구형의 모든 라이프스타일 유형과 자기표현욕구는 비건화장품 구매의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 사회적가치는 외모지향형을 제외한 라이프스타일 유형 및 자기표현욕구와 구매의도 간을 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 외모지향 소비자는 사회적가치에 직접적인 영향을 미치지 않고 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 외모 지향적인 소비자의 경우 비건화장품 구매 동기가 해당 제품과 관련된 사회적가치에 크게 영향을 받지 않을 수 있음을 시사하고 있다. 표준화계수를 이용한 상대적 영향력 크기 비교에서는 사회적가치를 매개할 때 자기표현욕구가 가장 크게 비건화장품 구매의도에 영향을 미치고 건강지향형이 가장 작게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구의 학문적 함의로는 틈새 소비자 세그먼트, 중재 메커니즘 및 지속 가능성 고려 사항에 대한 통찰력을 제공함으로써 소비자 행동 연구에 기여하고 있고 마케팅 전략과 지속 가능한 비즈니스 관행을 형성하는 화장품 산업 및 그 이상에 대한 추가 연구 방향을 제시하고 있다.
