This study attempted to analyze the context characteristics and consumer characteristics that affect fashion curation shopping. The data used for this study were 223 questionnaires targeting male and female college students in their 20s in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province who had had the curated shopping experience in the latest three months. The SPSS program was used for the data analysis, and a reliability measurement, factor analysis, multiple regression analysis, T-test, and one-way ANOVA were conducted. The results were as follows. First, fashion curation shopping exhibited three factors: product subscription, marketing use, and product recommendation shopping. Furthermore, the context characteristics had sub concepts of five factors: selection, sharing, experience, discovery, and storage. Second, the context characteristics (selection, sharing, experience, discovery, and storage) had a significant influence on product subscription, marketing use, and product recommendation, which belong to the curation shopping category. Third, the fashion consumers' price sensitivity, trend sensitivity, and product knowledge had a deep impact on the marketing use and product recommendation. Fourth, there was no difference in the fashion curation shopping by male and female consumers and the average monthly fashion shopping frequency, and there were differences in shopping cost and time. This study can analyze the context and consumer characteristics that affect fashion curation shopping to establish an efficient fashion curation shopping system in practical terms. Additionally, academically, it can be proposed as basic data on the development of measurement tools for analyzing consumer behavior that prefers fashion curation shopping.

The results were as follows. First, six travel activities (city life, art/shopping, cultural experience, entertainment, field experience, and friendship), three shopping propensity (novelty/uniqueness, utility, and prestige), and four product groups (fashion goods, household goods, crafts, and foods) were found by factor analyses.

This study investigated the effect of consumers' shopping value in social commerce on consumers' fashion shopping satisfaction and future behavioral intention. Respondents were limited to consumers aged 20 to 39 who had recently purchased fashion products through social commerce over the last month. The final analysis used 318 samples. Descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation model were conducted. The results are as follows. First, hedonic and utilitarian shopping value significantly influenced consumers' fashion shopping satisfaction in social commerce. Hedonic shopping value was more strongly related to fashion shopping satisfaction. Second, fashion shopping satisfaction in social commerce had an effect on behavioral intention and SNS word-of-mouth. Behavioral intention consisted of repurchase intention and recommend intention. SNS word-of-mouth intention represented word-of-mouth intention using SNS such as Facebook and Twitter. When consumers were satisfied with their shopping experience, they were willing to have re-patronage intentions and SNS word-of-mouth intention. The results suggested that social commerce should try to raise consumers' fashion shopping satisfaction in social commerce and offer a pleasant experience. Also, social commerce should try to be connected to SNS such as Facebook and Twitter to increase word-of-mouth intention.

As there is impulsive buying that is pervasive phenomenon in the clothing consumption area, many academics and practitioners have been interested in it. Although prior studies have provided useful insights for understanding and predicting consumers' impulsive behavior, the findings do not clearly explain why different consumers influence impulsive behavior differently even when presented with the same shopping environment. Regulatory focus theory (Higgins, 1987, 1997, 2001) provides an insight for better understanding of consumers' impulsive responses to the elements of shopping experience. Thus, the purpose of our research was to understand the effect of consumers' regulatory focus (i.e., promotion focused vs. prevention focused) on their shopping experiences and impulsive behavior. A total of 157 data collected from female consumers lived in Ulsan and Pusan was used for this study. The results were as follows: First, sensitive experience and emotional experience have significantly positive effects on impulsive buying, but rational experience does significantly negatively effects on it. Second, to test the moderating effects of consumers' regulatory focus, responses were divided into two groups including promotion-focused group (n = 91) and prevention-focused group (n = 66) based on the relative strength of one type of their regulatory focus, which was introduced by Higgins (2001). Multiple regression analysis (independent variables: shopping experience, dependant variable: impulsive buying) was run within each group. The results showed that for the promotion-focused group, sensitive and emotional experience have significantly positive effects on impulsive buying. For prevention focused group, sensitive experience has significantly positive effects on impulsive buying and rational experience does significantly negatively effects on it. Chow's and Fisher's z-test were confirmed that the relationship between shopping experience and impulsive buying behavior was significantly different depending on consumers' regulatory focus.

As mobile shopping has been increasing, the competition has been also increasing to satisfy various consumers' needs. Despite such increase in terms of the volume of the consumers who use mobile shopping, there has been very few studies to examine characteristics of mobile shopping malls. The purpose of this empirical study is to investigate the effect of characteristics of mobile shopping malls on consumer loyalty and the interaction effect of the O2O experience on the relationship between the characteristics of mobile shopping malls and consumer loyalty. Using a sample of 276 individuals who have experienced mobile shopping, we found that certain characteristics such as ubiquity, personalization, or convenience have a positive impact on consumer loyalty and a design characteristic solely has an interaction effect on consumer loyalty. As consumer loyalty has a critical factor on mobile shopping mall's profit, examining which factor has a positive effect on consumer loyalty is beneficial for mobile shopping malls. The results of the study have both practical and empirical implications.
