본 연구에서는 온라인 쇼핑 상황에서 소비자특성이 소비자감정과 소비자만족에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 그 구조적 관계를 파악하고자 했다. 먼저, 소비자특성은 선행연구를 통해 정보탐색성향, 물질주의성향, 충동구매성향 등을 포함한 다양한 소비성향을 도출하였다. 다음으로, 소비자감정은 정보탐색에서부터 사용에 이르는 6개의 구매과정에서의 긍정적·부정적 감정으로 정의하였으며, 소비자만족은 구매경험의 전반적 만족으로 정의하였다. 이를 위해 최근 1개월 이내 온라인 의류 쇼핑 경험이 있는 20-40대 소비자를 대상으로, 소비자특성과 긍정적·부정적 감정과 소비자만족을 각각 측정하여 구조방정식 분석을 실시했다. 그 결과, 모형 적합도는 양호했으며, 충동구매성향과 과시소비성향, 혁신성향, 유행추구적쇼핑성향의 경우 부정적감정에만 영향을 미쳤다. 반면, 정보탐색성향, 쾌락적쇼핑성향, 경제적쇼핑성향은 긍정적감정에 영향을 미치고, 소비자만족에도 간접적 영향을 미치는 것을 확인했다. 이를 통해 소비자특성 파악 및 소비자 감정의 증진으로 온라인 쇼핑에서의 소비자 경험을 향상시킬 수 있는 시사점을 제시하였다.

Further, a wide range of applications are downloaded on to smartphones. This has also led a considerable number of complaints regarding these applications. In this study, we focus on the levels of dissatisfaction that users experience with smartphone applications and their effects on consumer complaint behavior along with the moderating effects of the complaint handling process and attribution. The aim of this study is to verify whether the following hypothesis--2 (low/high dissatisfaction level of smartphone applications)${\times}2$ (poor/excellent complaint handling process)${\times}2$ (internal/external consumer attribution)--is in accordance with the betweengroup design to build a factorial design experiment. The results of this study are as follows. First, the consumer's tendency to complain significantly influenced their dissatisfaction level.
