  • This study analyzes the variable consumer characteristics that influence the intention to use online product reviews. In online e-commerce, where purchases take place without consumers seeing the products in person, the product reviews left by other consumers who have already purchased the product are believed to be valuable information. However, when different consumers read the same product review, their responses to it may vary. This study analyzes the characteristics of consumers who utilize product reviews for their purchases. Consumer characteristics are categorized into personal information, personality, purchasing tendency, and experience related to product reviews. These factors are examined to see if they have direct or indirect effects on a consumer's intention to use product reviews when making online purchases. We surveyed a total of 240 consumers who had experience using e-commerce and knew about online product reviews. Once the data was collected, path analysis was conducted using the statistics tool AMOS. The study results reveal that consumers who are female, extroverted, and have higher price sensitivity think that product reviews left by others are useful, and that this "perceived usefulness" has a positive effect on the intention to use product reviews for making online purchasing decisions. In addition, consumers who are agreeable to others, have high brand sensitivity, and who have left numerous reviews themselves demonstrated the tendency to trust reviews left by others more. Thus, we conclude that this "perceived reliability" makes it more likely that a consumer will use product reviews when making online purchasing decisions. Future research can be done to develop this study further by analyzing whether providing online product reviews corresponding to the personal characteristics of consumers enhances the effect of product reviews on online purchasing decisions.

  • Purpose Online reviews are critical for sales of online shopping platforms because they provide useful information to consumers. As the eCommerce market grows rapidly, the role of online reviews is becoming more important. The purpose of this study is to analyze how online reviews written by domestic consumers affect product sales by classifying the types of products. Design/methodology/approach This study analyzed how the effects of review characteristics(reviewer reputation, reviewer exposure, review length, time, rating, image, and emotional score) on the usefulness of online reviews differ depending on the product types. Subsequently, how the impact of review attributes (review usefulness, number of reviews, ratings, and emotional scores) on product sales differs according to each product type was compared. Based on the FCB Grid model, the product type was classified into high involvement-rational, high involvement-emotional, low involvement -rational, and low involvement-emotional product types. Findings According to the analysis result, the characteristics of reviews useful to consumers were different for each product type, and the review attributes affecting product sales were also different for each product type. This study confirmed that it revealed that product characteristics are major consideration in evaluating the review usefulness and the factors affecting product sales.

  • This study explores the effect of information direction and order of cosmetics power bloggers on consumer responses. A total of 488 undergraduate students participated in experiments with mock-up stimuli of sunscreen product reviews by power bloggers. The study was conducted with four stimuli of product review posts (i.e., positive reviews only, positive-negative reviews in order, negative-positive reviews in order, negative reviews only) of the power bloggers. The results showed a significant difference in consumer responses according to information direction and order of product reviews of the power bloggers. Specifically, negative reviews were considered more objective and more useful than positive reviews were. However, positivity of reviews is crucial in generating more positive attitudes toward products, greater purchase intention, and greater word-of-mouth intention. In regard to information order, the negative-positive reviews generated more positive attitudes toward the product and greater purchase intention than did the positive-negative reviews, emphasizing the importance of ending product reviews with positive information so as to create positive responses. Referring to the findings, power bloggers and marketers using bloggers as a promotional tool would benefit by carefully designing information content in consideration of an appropriate direction and order of information to better fit their purpose.

  • 인터넷 상거래에서, 소비자들은 기존에 제품을 구매한 다른 사용자들이 작성한 상품평에 많은 영향을 받는다. 그러나, 상품평이 점차 축적되어감에 따라, 소비자들이 방대한 상품평을 일일이 확인하는데 많은 시간과 노력이 소요되고, 또한 무성의하게 작성된 상품평들은 오히려 소비자들의 불편을 초래하기도 한다. 이에, 본 연구는 온라인 상품평의 유용성에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 분석하여, 소비자들에게 실제로 도움이 될 수 있는 상품평을 선별적으로 제공하는 예측모형을 도출하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해, 텍스트마이닝 기법을 사용하여, 상품평에 포함되어있는 다양한 언어적, 심리적, 지각적 요소들을 추출하였으며, 이러한 요소들 중에서 상품평의 유용성에 영향을 미치는 결정요인이 무엇인지 파악하였다. 특히, 경험재인 의류군과 탐색재인 전자제품군에 대한 상품평의 특성 및 유용성 결정요인이 상이할 수 있음을 고려하여, 제품군별로 상품평의 특성을 비교하고, 각각의 결정요인을 도출하였다. 본 연구에는 아마존닷컴(Amazon.com)의 의류군 상품평 7,498건과 전자제품군 상품평 106,962건이 사용되었다. 또한, 언어분석 소프트웨어인 LIWC(Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count)를 활용하여 상품평에 포함된 특징들을 추출하였고, 이후, 데이터마이닝 소프트웨어인 RapidMiner를 사용하여, 회귀분석을 통한, 결정요인 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구결과, 제품에 대한 리뷰어의 평가가 높고, 상품평에 포함된 전체 단어 수가 많으며, 상품평의 내용에 지각적 과정이 많이 포함되어 있는 반면, 부정적 감정은 적게 포함된 상품평들이 두 제품 모두에서 유용하다고 인식되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그 외, 의류군의 경우, 비교급 표현이 많고, 전문성 지수는 낮으며, 한 문장에 포함된 단어 수가 적은 간결한 상품평이 유용하다고 인식되고 있었으며, 전자제품의 경우, 전문성 지수가 높고, 분석적이며, 진솔한 표현이 많고, 인지적 과정과 긍정적 감정(PosEmo)이 많이 포함된 상품평이 유용하게 인식되고 있었다. 이러한 연구결과는 향후, 소비자들이 효과적으로 유용한 상품평들을 확인하는데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

  • Purpose: This study is a quantitative study and analyzes the effect of evaluating the extreme and usefulness of product reviews on sales performance by using text mining techniques based on product review big data. We investigate whether the perceived helpfulness of product reviews serves as a mediating factor in the impact of product review extremity on sales performance. Research design, data and methodology: The analysis emphasizes customer interaction factors associated with both product review helpfulness and sales performance. Out of the 8.26 million Amazon product reviews in the book category collected by He & McAuley (2016), text mining using natural language processing methodology was performed on 300,000 product reviews, and the hypothesis was verified through hierarchical regression analysis. Results: The extremity of product reviews exhibited a negative impact on the evaluation of helpfulness. And the helpfulness played a mediating role between the extremity of product reviews and sales performance. Conclusion: Increased inclusion of extreme content in the product review's text correlates with a diminished evaluation of helpfulness. The evaluation of helpfulness exerts a negative mediating effect on sales performance. This study offers empirical insights for digital market distributors and sellers, contributing to the research field related to product reviews based on review ratings.

  • Prior to making choices among online products and services, consumers often search online product reviews written by other consumers. Online product reviews have great influences on consumer behavior because they are believed to be more reliable than information provided by sellers. However, ever-increasing lists of product reviews make it difficult for consumers to find the right information efficiently. A customized search mechanism is a method to provide personalized information which fits the user's requirements. This study examines effects of a customized search mechanism and perceived similarity between consumers and product reviewers on consumer behaviors. More specifically, we address the following research questions: (1) Can a customized search mechanism increase perceived similarity between product review authors and readers? (2) Are product reviews perceived as more credible when product reviews were written by the authors perceived similar to them? (3) Does credibility of product reviews have a positive impact on acceptance of product reviews? (4) Does acceptance of product reviews have an influence on purchase intention of the readers? To examine these research questions, a lab experiment with a between-subject factor (whether a customized search mechanism is provided or not) design was employed. In order to enhance mundane realism and increase generalizability of the findings, the experiment sites were built based on a real online store, cherrya.com (http://www.cherrya.com/). Sixty participants were drawn from a pool that consisted of undergraduate and graduate students in a large university. Participation was voluntary; all the participants received 5,000 won to encourage their motivation and involvement in the experiment tasks. In addition, 15 participants, who selected by a random draw, received 30,000 won to actually purchase the product that he or she decided to buy during the experiment. Of the 60 participants, 25 were male and 35 were female. In examining the homogeneity between the two groups, the results of t-tests revealed no significant difference in gender, age, academic years, online shopping experience, and Internet usage. To test our research model, we completed tests of the measurement models and the structural models using PLS Graph version 3.00. The analysis confirmed individual item reliability, internal consistency, and discriminant validity of measurements. The results show that participants feel more credible when product reviews were written by the authors perceived similar to them, credibility of product reviews have a positive impact on acceptance of product reviews, and acceptance of product reviews have an influence on purchase intention of the readers. However, a customized search mechanism did not increase perceived similarity between product review authors and readers. The results imply that there is an urgent need to develop a better customized search tool in order to increase perceived similarity between product review authors and readers.

  • 소수 의견을 포함하는 온라인 상품평은 긍정 또는 부정 일변도인 상품평에서는 찾기 어려운 유익한 정보를 내포하기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 주어진 상품평 집합 속에서 소수상품평을 검색하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안방법은 개별 상품평을 먼저 긍정/부정 상품평으로 자동분류한 뒤, 주어진 상품평 집합의 긍정/부정 상품평의 비대칭도를 계산하여 소수상품평을 검색한다. 소수상품평 검색에서는 긍정/부정 자동분류 성능이 소수상품평 검색성능에 영향을 주는데, 본 논문에서는 도메인에 특화된 감성사전과 그렇지 않은 일반적인 감성사전을 가지고 상품평을 긍정/부정으로 감성분류한 뒤 비대칭도를 계산하여 소수상품평 검색성능을 비교한다. 스마트폰과 영화를 다룬 온라인 영문 상품평에 대하여 도메인에 특화된 감성사전을 가지고 소수상품평 검색성능을 평가한 결과, F1점수는 각각 24.6%와 15.9%였고, 정확도는 각각 56.8%와 46.8%였다. 이는 스마트폰과 영화의 개별 상품평 긍정/부정 분류 정확도가 각각 85.3%와 78.8%일 때의 성능이다. 본 논문에서는 또 긍정/부정 자동분류 성능이 주어졌을 때의 이론적인 소수상품평 검색성능에 대해서도 논의한다.

  • 전자 상거래 리뷰 정보에 대한 소비자들의 의존도가 증가하고 있다. 제품 리뷰는 잠재적인 고객의 구매 결정에 있어 중요한 결정 요소이다. 제품 리뷰는 또한 상품 제조사들이 자신들의 제품에 대한 문제점을 발견하고 자신들의 경쟁자들에 대한 경쟁 정보를 수집할 수 있도록 해준다. 불행히도 많은 온라인 제품 정보들이 그 제품에 대한 진짜 고객들에 의해 만들어지지 않은 것이라는 것은 잘 알려진 사실이다. 리뷰를 쓰는 사람들은, 특정 제품의 평판을 떨어뜨리기 위해 가짜로 부정적인 리뷰를 쓰거나, 특정 제품에 대해 부당하게 긍정적인 리뷰를 써서 그 제품을 홍보하기도 한다. 이러한 리뷰들을 가짜 리뷰라고 한다. 가짜 리뷰 판별 기법은 가짜 리뷰를 판별하고 삭제하여 진실한 리뷰들만 독자에게 제공하기 위한 기법이다. 현재까지 이 문제에 대한 연구는 많이 발표되지 않았다. 본 논문에서, 우리는 관련 연구들을 조사하고 가짜 리뷰 판별 기법들에 대해 간단히 조망해 보고자 한다. 웹 스팸 및 이메일 스팸과 같은 가짜 리뷰 판별과 관련된 연구들을 소개한다. 그리고, 가짜 리뷰들을 판별하기 위한 방법들을 소개하고 요약한다. 마지막으로 가짜 리뷰 판별에 대한 연구 추세들로 결론을 맺는다.

  • Online consumer reviews (OCRs) provide product information and recommendations especially pictures in reviews depict the true information about the product. This study investigates the influence of pictured reviews on online seller (for a particular product of a seller) rating with moderating effect of price, brand type (foreign vs local), goods type (experience vs search), and brand familiarity. Multiple robust linear regression analysis with moderation interaction and quadratic effect used to explain the relationship of the explanatory variables with the criterion variable. We collected cross-sectional data from the two most renowned Chinese online shopping platforms (B2C) of total 15,621 product links. Results show that higher number of reviews with a low ratio of picture reviews response negative effect on rating, whereas the lower number of reviews with a high ratio of picture reviews response positive effect on the rating. In overall picture in the reviews improve the online seller product rating. For the moderation effect, results show that price and brand familiarity have a positive interaction effect on the relation of pictured reviews and rating whereas experience goods have less negative effect comparing search goods. Finally, local brand has less negative interaction effect comparing foreign brand to pictured reviews and rating.
