Online financial counseling services are increasingly expanding with the rise of artificial intelligence-based chatbots. It is very important to examine the effects of emoticons noted as alternatives for communicating emotions in online communication between consumers and companies. In this paper, we examine how the use of emoticons affects the consumer's response and investigate the moderating roles of type of counseling agents (human vs. chatbot) and the consumer's subjective financial knowledge. The results show that the use of emoticon in the conversation brings a positive effect on the consumer's intention to use of online chat counseling service. When participants had relatively low subjective financial knowledge, they had higher intention to use online chat counseling services with emoticons only when the agent type was chatbot. When the type of counseling agent was human, this positive effect of the emoticon did not occur. On the other hand, when participants had relatively high subjective financial knowledge, they had higher intention to use online chat counseling service with emoticons only when the agent type was human. This study contributes to providing practical implications to build online chat counseling service using chatbot in the financial industry by studying users' intention depending on the type of agents and the level of their subjective knowledge.

This article was written with two purposes in mind. The first purpose was to introduce clothing and textile community who may not be familiar with Multidimensional Scaling(MDS) with usefulness of the new technique in the area of fashion merchandising. The second purpose was to present the results of an empirical study on brand image utilizing MDS and its related technique as the main analysis tools. The main objective of the empirical study was to gain a better understanding of consumer's brand image by relating differences in perception and attributes of clothing in women's ready-to wear market. For this empirical study, the ten brands and the fifteen attributes of clothing were chosen. The questionnaire consisting of questions asking about the similarity and attributes of clothing between selected brands was administrated to 185 career women during summer in 1989. Data were analyzed cluster analysis, and KYST and PROFIT in MDS program. The results were as follows: 1. The similarities data for the ten selected brand by using KYST program of MDS drawed the perceptual map. The results of this perceptual map showed that the selected brand were grouped into three clusters. 2. In order to get a somewhat objective view of which attributes consumers are attributing to each brand, PROFIT program was used. As a result, it was revealed that assortment depth / width, price, youth-oriented style, possibility of various social activity were significant attributes in consumer's brand choice rather than physical attributes of clothing such as quality or durability. This may imply that consumer orientation in rapidly changing environments of women's apparel market was its basic idea, and the focus of all fashion merchandising activities was put on need's and the response of consumer group who are the object of the target. Implicating for future research as well as for strategy of brand positioning were also suggested.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the social instrumentality of appearance, appearance orientation, and cosmetics purchasing behaviors of Chinese male consumers, and to find differences in the cosmetics purchasing behaviors of the male consumer groups, which were segmented by the social instrumentality of appearance and appearance orientation. The subjects were 400 adult males in their 20s to 30s from Gillim province in China. The measurements consisted of the social instrumentality of appearance, appearance orientation, cosmetics purchasing behavior, and the subject' demographic attributes. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, $x^2$ test, multiple response analysis, cluster analysis, ANOVA, and Duncan's multiple range test, using SPSS program. The results were as follows. First, young Chinese male consumers had a high sense of the social instrumentality of appearance, but the tendency to invest time and effort to enhance their looks was still low. Second, on the basis of the social instrumentality of appearance and appearance orientation, young Chinese male consumers were classified into four groups (high involvement group, instrumentality group, orientation group, and low involvement group). Third, the four male consumer groups revealed many significant differences in various cosmetic purchasing behaviors (purchasing items, information sources, product selection criteria, purchasing motives, purchasing locations, store selection criteria, purchasing price, purchasing frequency, and cosmetics improvements). Therefore, the social instrumentality of appearance and appearance orientation are seen as significant variables to effectively segment the Chinese male consumer market.

케이블 TV홈쇼핑을 통한 제품 구매 시 소비자들의 지각된 위험(perceived risk)은 케이블 홈쇼핑의 저해요소로 작용한다. 이러한 저해요소에 반하여 홈쇼핑 광고에서 자주 쓰이는 수량과 시간을 제한하는 희소성메시지는 홈쇼핑 구매를 촉진하는 요소로 알려져 왔다. 그러나 홈쇼핑을 이용하는 소비자의 이용경험의 정도에 따라 지각된 위험이나 희소성메시지는 그간 알려진 바와는 다른 역할을 할 수도 있을 것이다. 먼저 이용경험이 많은 소비자들과 그렇지 않은 소비자들 사이에 지각된 위험에 대해 느끼는 정도가 서로 다를 것이라고 예상할 수 있다. 나아가서 이용경험이 많은 소비자들이 지각된 위험을 높게 느낄 때 지금까지 촉진 요소로 알려진 희소성메시지가 여전히 촉진요소로서 작용할지에 대해서도 의문을 가질 수 있다. 본 연구는 이렇게 홈쇼핑의 저해요인과 촉진 요인이 동시에 제공되는 상황에서 이용경험이 다른 소비자들의 반응은 어떠한 형태로 나타나는지를 알아보고자 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지각된 위험, 희소성 메시지 그리고 소비자의 이용경험을 세 가지 독립변인으로 설정하고 홈쇼핑 제품에 대한 소비자의 구매의도, 광고에 대한 태도 그리고 제품에 대한 태도를 소비자의 반응이라는 종속변인으로 측정하고자 하였다. 연구를 위해서 대학의 평생교육원에서 수강하는 110명의 주부들을 대상으로 실험연구를 실시하였다. 주부들을 대상으로 한 것은 이들이 홈쇼핑의 가장 실제적인 소비자라고 판단하였기 때문이었다. 본 연구에서는 홈쇼핑 프로그램을 녹화한 비디오를 사용하여 시청하게 한 다음 설문조사에 응하도록 하였다. 지각된 위험 변인의 처치는 홈쇼핑 프로그램을 방영하고 제품을 판매하는 회사의 이름을 이용하였다. 홈쇼핑 프로그램이 방영될 때 그 회사의 로고가 화면 상단에 표시되는 점에 착안하여 현재 문제가 되고 있는 유사 홈쇼핑 회사의 가짜로고를 만들어서 지각된 위험변인으로 조작하였다. 상대적으로 통제 집단에는 같은 내용이지만 유명 홈쇼핑 회사의 로고가 그대로 노출된 화면을 시청하게 하여 지각된 위험에 대한 반응의 정도를 비교하였다. 또한 희소성 메시지는 제품의 수량을 제한하는 자막을 넣어서 제작하였다. 이 또한 상대적으로 희소성 메시지를 처치하지 않은 비디오를 시청하게 한 통제집단을 두어서 희소성메시지에 대한 반응을 비교하였다. 소비자의 홈쇼핑 이용경험은 설문문항을 통해 측정하였다. 실험은 4개의 집단으로 나누어져 실시하였는데 한 집단은 지각된 위험과 희소성 메시지에 동시에 노출되도록 하였고 두 번째 집단과 세 번째 집단은 각각의 두 요인 중 하나의 요인에만 노출되도록 하였다. 그리고 나머지 한 집단은 통제집단으로 지각된 위험이나 희소성 메시지를 모두 처치하지 않은 프로그램을 시청하게 하였다. 연구결과 흥미로운 사실들이 발견되었는데 이용경험에 상관없이 모든 이용자들은 지각된 위험에 부정적인 반응을 보였으며 특히 이용경험이 풍부한 홈쇼핑이용자들인 경우 이용경험이 적은 소비자에 비해 지각된 위험에 더욱 민감하게 반응함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 희소성 메시지에 대해서는 통계적으로는 유의미하지 않았지만 이용경험이 높은 소비자가 이용경험이 적은 소비자들 보다 오히려 부정적인 반응을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 지각된 위험과 희소성 메시지의 상호작용효과의 경우 이용경험이 높은 집단의 소비자가 특히 제품에 대한 태도반응에서 매우 부정적인 반응을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 사실은 이용경험이 풍부한 소비자일수록 신뢰가 생기지 않는 지각된 위험의 상황에서 희소성메시지가 제시될 때 희소성메시지의 설득적 의도를 위협적인 요소로 생각한다고 해석할 수 있다. 이상의 결과는 선행 연구들에서 지각된 위험이나 희소성 메시지를 각각 독립적으로 연구한 결과와는 다른 결과로 홈쇼핑 주 이용자들의 특성을 다시 한 번 생각하게끔 한다. 이 연구의 결과는 다양한 종류의 지각된 위험 요소가 내재된 홈쇼핑의 효과적인 설득전략을 위해서는 단순히 시간과 수량을 제한하는 희소성 메시지 기법 외에 이용자의 특성에 맞는 새로운 메시지 전략의 필요성을 시사한다.

The metacognitive experience of the ease or difficulty with which new, external information can be processed, referred to as 'processing fluency,' has been shown to influence a wide range of human judgments including truth judgments, familiarity judgments, risk perception, evaluation, and preference (see Alter and Oppenheimer 2009 for a review). The current research explores the possibility of a consumer's product innovativeness judgment based on the difficulty of processing new information. In specific, this study examines if the inferential link between (dis)fluency-(un)familiarity can feed into the perception of innovativeness. This study also explores how a consumer's processing motivation can moderate the consumer's reliance on processing fluency in judgments and how the influence of fluency can vary depending on judgment task orders. In an experiment, participants rated a new product's innovativeness and then indicated their product attitude (or vice versa depending on the judgment task order condition) after reading a product review article that was printed in either an easy-to-read or a difficult-to-read font (for fluency manipulation). The findings show that low need for cognition individuals infer higher product innovativeness when processing product information is difficult rather than easy, consistent with the common assumption that 'new information is more difficult to process than familiar information.' The findings also suggest that once low fluency is attributed to innovativeness, it may no longer lead to a negative response to the product. High need for cognition individuals' judgments on product innovativeness are not affected by fluency. The findings also demonstrate a judgment task order effect on the use of fluency in judgments (e.g., Xu and Schwarz 2005). This study provides the first evidence that an individual's fluency experience can be used as a source of information in product innovativeness judgments especially under low processing motivation conditions. The findings can help marketers better understand the malleability of consumer judgments and perceptions of product characteristics (e.g., product innovativeness) by demonstrating an interesting interplay of processing fluency, processing motivation, and judgment task-related contextual factors.
