본 연구에서는 질병관리본부에서 매년 조사하고 있는 지역사회 건강조사 자료를 이용하여 서울시 지역을 대상으로 개인의 흡연 여부에 대한 영향 요인을 확인하고 지역간 차이를 모형에 반영시키는 다수준 로지스틱 모형을 이용하여 분석하였다. 다수준 모형에서의 적합한 분석 모형의 수준을 결정하기 위해 ICC(intraclass correlation coefficient)와 프로파일링 분석, 수준별 모형의 예측정확도를 이용하였다. 제안된 모형들의 성능을 평가하기 위해 민감도, 특이도, 정확도를 구하고 ROC curve를 작성하였다. 결과적으로 지역사회 건강조사 자료와 같이 개인과 집단 변수를 동시에 고려할 수 있다면 다양한 다수준 모형의 적용이 가능하며 활용성이 높다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This study aimed to clarify the relationships among the characteristics of consumers and their influence on fashion leadership. Two kinds of variables were investigated in this study: centrality of visual product aesthetics and consumer innovativeness as personal characteristics, and role-relaxed consumption and consumer susceptibility to interpersonal influence as interpersonal characteristics. Data were gathered by surveying university students in the Seoul metropolitan area, using convenience sampling, and 322 questionnaires were used in the statistical analysis. In analyzing data, correlation analysis, factor analysis, and regression analysis were conducted. Factor analysis on the centrality of visual product aesthetics revealed three sub-factors: value, acumen, and response intensity. Meanwhile, factor analysis for consumer susceptibility to interpersonal influence revealed two sub-factors: informative and normative conformities. However, consumer innovativeness, role-relaxed consumption, and fashion leadership revealed only one factor. Regression analysis showed that visual product aesthetics, especially acumen and response intensity, were the most influential factors; furthermore, consumer innovativeness and normative conformity had positive influence on fashion leadership. However, role-relaxed consumption had negative influence on fashion leadership.

This study tested the validity of the six-factor model of fashion savvy which was modified from the consumer savvy scale developed by Macdonald and Uncles(2007) and explored the relationship between fashion savvy and consumer propensity to observe. Regarding the relationship, it was hypothesized that consumer propensity to observe antecedes fashion savvy. Data were gathered by surveying university students in Seoul metropolitan area, using convenience sampling, and 311 questionnaires were used in the statistical analysis. In analyzing data, factor analysis and regression were conducted. The findings show the validity of the six factors of fashion savvy, which are fashion sophistication, interpersonal network competency, online network competency, marketing literacy, consumer self-efficacy, and consumer expectations. Tests of the hypothesized relationship show that two factors of consumer propensity to observe influence fashion savvy. More specifically, the 'observing shoppers' factor positively influences all six factors of fashion savvy, whereas the 'following what others buy' factor negatively influences four factors of fashion savvy, fashion sophistication, interpersonal network competency, marketing literacy, and consumer self-efficacy. The implications of these findings and suggestions for future study are also discussed.
