To compete with the growth of fashion shopping platforms in the online fashion market, general shopping platforms have begun to expand their product categories to include fashion items. This research examines the characteristics that influence consumers' trust in each of these platforms and their intention to reuse them. Applying the concept of platforms, this study also distinguishes between general shopping platforms and fashion shopping platforms and compares their characteristics. This study surveyed 788 consumers in their 20s and 30s with experience in using general shopping platforms or fashion shopping platforms (389 and 399 respondents, respectively). SPSS was used to conduct frequency analysis, factor analysis, and cross-tabulations, and AMOS was used to conduct confirmatory factor analyses and structural equation analyses. The results were as follows: platform reputation, shopping convenience, and interactivity all influenced consumer trust. For fashion shopping platforms, the product quality factor significantly improved consumer trust. However, for general shopping platforms, the product quality factor only influenced reuse intentions to reuse and did not contribute to improving trust. Platform reputation and information offering have influenced reuse intentions for both shopping platforms. Regardless of the type of shopping platform, platform reputation has influenced reuse intentions and consumer trust, and platform esthetics didn't have affect consumer trust and consumers' reuse intentions. Consumer trust influenced the intention to reuse on both platforms.

This study developed a structural model to examine the relationships among consumer traits, self-brand connections, and purchase intentions for local fashion brands under "Guochao" consumption in China. An online survey with a self-administered questionnaire was undertaken through Chinese SNS tools to collect the data. A total of 276 usable responses were obtained from Chinese consumers who are residents in China. More females(n=174, +63%) than males (n=102, 37%) participated, and they were aged from 18 to 45 years old. The measurement model was confirmed to be reliable and valid. In the estimated structural model, the consumer traits of ethnocentrism and cultural affinity positively affected the self-brand connection, leading to purchase intentions for the local fashion brands. Specifically, the ethnocentrism factor indirectly affected the purchase intentions by mediating the self-brand connection, while the cultural affinity factor had significant direct effects on purchase intentions. Thus, a partial mediating effect of self-brand connection was found in the relationship between the consumer traits(ethnocentrism and cultural affinity) and purchase intentions of local fashion brands in the cultural "Guochao" consumption context. This study provides insights into extending the cultural theory of ethnocentrism relevant to self-brand connections and discusses the managerial implications for developing strategic global branding in the Chinese fashion markets.

소비자의 제품에 대한 평가는 구매의도에 영향이 미친다는 연구 논문들이 이미 나오고 있다. 소비자의 제품 평가는 제품의 품질, 구매 후 만족도와 기타 유형적인 가치에 기초를 두고 있을 뿐만 아니라 원산지 이미지, 브랜드 이미지 등 같은 무형의 가치에 두기도 한다. 일반적으로 소비자의 제품평가는 실질적인 품질이나 구매 후 만족에 의해 편성된다. 이러한 편성은 원산지 이미지와 같은 사회심리적인 영향으로 나타나기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 소비자 자민중심주의와 더불어 과거 수입국 소비자들이 잊을 수 없는 경제적. 정치적이나 심지어 군사적인 활동에 관여됨에 의해 나타나는 제품 원산지에 대한 선입관의 일환인 적대감이 구매의도에 미치는 관계를 연구하고자 한다. 분석 결과, 제품 평가는 구매의도에 정(+)의 영향을 주고 있음을 확인하였으며 소비자 자민중심주의와 적대감은 제품평가와 구매의도에 부(-)의 영향을 주고 있음을 발견하였다. 중국 시장의 경우, 자민중심주의적인 소비자는 외국 제품 구매에 대해 부정적인 인식을 가지고 있으며 또한 중국 소비자들의 일본 제품에 대한 강한 적대감이 제품평가 및 구매의도에 부(-)의 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 일본 기업들은 중국 기업과의 협력과 정부간 친밀감 증대를 위한 노력을 확대시킬 필요가 있다. 반면에 한국 제품의 경우, 제품 평가가 일차적으로 소비자의 구매의도에 영향을 미치고 있으므로 한국 기업들은 소비자의 제품평가의 개선을 위해서 제품의 품질, 구매 후 만족도, 브랜드 이미지와 무형의 요소들을 개선시킬 필요가 있다.

An understanding of consumers' evaluative processes and the consumer variables that influence cross-cultural evaluations of foreign products is essential to effectively penetrate international markets. This study compared consumers in two developing countries, Korea and Mexico, regarding their product evaluations and purchase intentions for US Levi's jeans. Both Korean and Mexican consumers are generally quality and price conscious. Korean consumers appeared to be more value-conscious than Mexican consumers. Mexican consumers exhibited high level of brand and prestige conscious behavior. Findings in this study support that culture bound consumer characteristics vary from country to country resulting in differences in perception of quality, value and purchase intentions for a particular product. The perception of product quality differs from perception of value and subsequent willingness to buy. For a comprehensive understanding of consumer purchase behavior, the impact of value-conscious attitude on percetion of quality and on purchase intentions should be examined.

The objectives of this study were: (1) to identify differences in consumer attitudes and intentions to recycle fashion products using three types of recycling (including resale, reform, and donation), and (2) to examine the moderating effects of consumer prosocialness on the relationships between attitude and intention for each type of fashion product recycling. Men and women aged 20 years and over were recruited from a marketing research firm panel. Participants completed an online questionnaire incorporating measures for attitudes and intentions to resale, reform, and donate fashion products, prosocialness, frequency of purchasing fashion products, monthly amount of spending on fashion products, and demographic information. Data from 224 participants were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 and PROCESS macro. The results demonstrated that consumers had significantly different attitudes and intentions depending on type of fashion product recycling. Consumers had more positive attitudes toward donation compared to resale and reform types of recycling. Consumer intentions toward resale and donation were significantly higher than their intention to reform. Furthermore, this study confirmed that the attitude-intention gap in fashion product recycling can be explained by individual prosocialness. The moderating effects of prosocialness on the associations between attitude and intention to recycle were significant. The implications of increasing consumers' behavior intention to recycle fashion products was discussed and future research suggestions are provided.
