The present study was conducted to analyze high school students' attitudes toward jean brand counterfeits relative to their self-esteem and self-consciousness. The study was implemented through a normative-descriptive survey using questionnaire. The sample consisted of 605 high school students from 6 high schools located in Seoul. Data were analyzed by mean, cluster analysis, regression, ANOVA and Duncan's test. The results were as follows: (1) As a whole, the mean values of preference and purchasing intentions toward counterfeit jeans were 2.99 and 2.83, respectively, indicating a slightly low average on the 5-point Likert scale. The results indicated that 45.5% of respondents have more than one item of counterfeit jeans. (2) Differences were found in the level of self-esteem and public self-consciousness among the three groups, who were classified by the level of purchasing intention and preference toward counterfeit jeans. Among the three groups (high/middle/low), the group having low purchasing intention and preference toward counterfeit jeans showed higher self-esteem and public self-consciousness than the other two groups. (3)Regression analysis showed that the self-esteem and public self-consciousness of high school students have an impact on the amount of purchasing of counterfeit jeans. (4)In the process of developing effective policies against the jean brand counterfeits market, it should be fully considered that high school students' purchasing intentions regarding jean brand counterfeits are related to their self-consciousness. It could be said that the policies followed to eliminate counterfeits and to enhance the consumer ethics of high school students will be more effective when those policies are accompanied by efforts to form their sound self-consciousness, especially in the areas of self-esteem and public self-consciousness.

This study examines factors that influence consumer behavior regarding the usage intentions and repurchasing behavior of counterfeits. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior by Ajzen (1991), this study looks at the impact of attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, as well as the moral norm of consumers about intentions to use and repurchase counterfeits. An online survey was conducted on males and females over the age of 20 with previous experiences of purchasing counterfeits; subsequently, 209 responses were collected and analyzed. The covariance structure model was used to analyze the data in order to measure the factors that influence the usage of counterfeits and repurchasing behavior. The results show that attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control have significantly positive effects on usage intentions, while moral norm has a significantly negative effect on usage intentions. Usage intentions also have a significantly positive effect on repurchasing behavior and confirmed that usage intentions functions as the mediator. The variables that influence usage intentions are attitude, perceived behavioral control, moral norm, and subjective norm, in descending order. Consumer attitudes towards counterfeits is a major factor that influences usage intentions. Therefore, ethical problems should be emphasized to encourage a negative attitude towards counterfeits. This study identifies an important aspect to show that usage intentions toward counterfeits, and not purchasing intentions, influences repurchasing behavior. Findings are significant in that they reveal the role of the moral norm variable added to the TPB model.

불법 위조품은 아이디어를 내어 제품을 개발하고 투자하는 건전한 기업에 손해를 입히고 신제품 개발에 의지를 꺾는 등 사회적으로 큰 해악을 끼치고 있다. 특히 중국의 경우, 경제 성장과 동반 성장한 위조품의 규모와 내용 때문에 중국 위조품은 세계적인 문제가 되었다. 위조품은 판매자나 구매자나 모두에게 문제가 있다. 그러나 본 연구는 위조품거래 참여자 중 위조품을 구매하는 소비자에 초점을 맞추어 중국의 시장 환경에서 위조품을 구매하는 중국소비자를 대상으로 문화를 포함한 가치체계적인 관점에서 이해하고 분석하였다. 연구결과는 예상했던 것처럼 중국 소비자의 경우, 집단에 의해 영향을 받는 성향이 큰 소비자일수록 제품의 소비를 통해 자신의 가치를 알리는 명품에 대한 인지도가 높았다. 그리고 제품에 대해 인지도가 높을수록 제품에 대한 관여도도 높았으며, 관여도가 높은 소비자일수록 진품을 구매하는 경향이 높았다. 그리고 진품을 선호하는 소비자가 오히려 위조품도 선호한다는 의외의 결과도 보여 주었다. 본 연구에서 집단에 의해 영향받는 정도, 인지도, 관여도는 명품위조품의 구매행동을 설명하는 중요한 변인임을 확인하였다. 이는 중국의 문화가 유교의 영향을 받아 인간의 상호관계 속에서 사회적 지위, 신분을 과시하고자 하는 문화 현상 속에서, 명품을 소비하는 행동으로 이어지고 있으며 이러한 인식 중에 일부 왜곡된(윤리의식 부재로)인식이 위조품의 구매로 이어지고 있다고 말할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구 결과는 위조품이 소득이 낮은 소비자가 위조품을 소비할 것이라는 인식이 틀렸음을 의미한다. 위조품은 오히려 진품의 가치를 알고 있는 소비자들에 의해 구매가 이루어지고 있으며, 이러한 경우 가격의 높고 낮음은 절대 가격이 아니라 소비자가 제품을 어떻게 인식하고 있느냐에 의해, 즉 소비자가 느끼는 가치에 의해 결정된다는 사실을 확인하였다. 이는 위조제품의 구매는 가격보다 비가격요인이 더 영향을 미친다는 기타 연구결과와도 일치한다. 위조품은 자국 내의 문제에 국한되는 것이 아니라 글로벌 시대에 전 세계 유통질서를 어지럽혀 세계 여러 나라와 통상마찰을 일으키고 국가 신용도에도 악영향을 줄 수 있는 매우 심각한 사안이다. 그런 의미에서 세계 위조품 시장에서 중요한 역할을 하고 있는 중국, 그리고 중국의 위조품 소비자를 대상으로 위조품의 구매과정을 이해한 본 연구의 결과는 위조품과 관련된 중국 소비자의 의사결정과정을 이해하였다는 것 뿐만 아니라 기업의 마케터와 정책입안자에게 도움이 될 것이다.

First, attitude toward fashion counterfeits was classified into three factors such as goodwill, approve of purchase, and counterfeit quality factors. Second, brand attachment was classified into four factors such as love, interest, perception and trust factors. Third, brand equity was classified into five factors such as loyalty, quality, image and recognition factors. Generally, attitudes toward fashion counterfeits factors were correlated with lower scores on brand attachment and brand equity. Finally, the results revealed that attitudes toward fashion counterfeits had a negative effect on brand attachment and equity. Brand attachment had a positive effect on brand equity, and also brand attachment and brand equity had a positive effect on purchasing intention. Based on these results, fashion brand marketing strategies would be suggested.
