When purchasing products or services, consumers tend to purchase multiple value attributes through the acquisition of a product rather than physical characteristics. This study empirically analyzed the relations between consumption value, brand attitude, and purchase intention of customers purchasing fair-trade coffee, by dividing consumption values that would have significant effects on consumers' actual purchase behavior into five levels. Among the consumption value factors of customers purchasing fair-trade coffee, the functional value, social value, emotional value, and rare value all had significant effects on brand attitude and purchase intention while the influence of situational value on brand attitude and purchase intention was not verified. These finding are partially concordant with those of preceding studies, and the consumption value of consumers purchasing fair-trade coffee has positive effects on purchase behavior; therefore, it would be necessary for companies selling fair-trade products to understand consumers' specific values. Moreover, analysis of the influence of brand attitude on purchase intention of customers purchasing fair-trade coffee revealed that purchase intention increased when brand attitude was higher. These finding indicate that it is necessary to identify measures to increase purchase intention by targeting consumer groups with high brand attitude with intensive promotions.

The goal of this study was to determine the effect of social responsibility characteristics and consumer attitude on consumer purchasing intention. And we used survey result data from 400 adults (200 males and 200 females) aged between 20 and 50 years for our research sample. Also, this study aims to look at the purchasing intention based on Fishbein's attitude model, in order to predict consumer purchasing behaviors on the products made by corporations that have good social responsibility. By using consumer consciousness of social responsibility and Consumer assessment on corporations' social responsibility, this study also intends to examine the ultimate effects on the intention. The following is a summary of the main results and suggestions. First, less than 30 percent of all consumers have experienced education on social responsibility, which is significantly low. Consumers' education experience had no effects on consumer purchasing intention. Consumers' education experience on social responsibility is surely related to purchasing intention, but gives no meaningful relations from the actual proof analysis, which is because of the problems of current consumer education programs. Government and official institutions, corporations, consumer groups should provide more educational opportunities than broadcast media, internet, school, and printed media. Second, according to the analysis result on Consumer consciousness of social responsibility, the assessment scores on social contribution and environmental protection are relatively lower than on consumer protection and energy resource saving. They tend to focus more on social responsibility related to individual interest rather than broader social responsibility as a member of society. Third, consumers have a positive attitude about corporation and its products made by corporations that have good social responsibility. Fourth, the most contributing factor on consumer purchasing intention is corporate consumer attitude. The next is product consumer attitude, Consumer consciousness of social responsibility, and Consumer assessment on corporations' social responsibility.

중국의 환경오염문제는 상당히 심각한 수준에 이르렀다. 따라서 경제성장과 동시에 환경오염문제를 개선시킬 수 있는 지속 가능한 발전 관점에서 중국의 새로운 발전방향을 제시할 필요가 있다. 이러한 관점에서 일반 소비자들이 녹색제품에 관심을 가질 수 있도록 소비이념을 전환시키고 녹색소비자로 만드는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문은 중국 도시 소비자들의 녹색제품 구매행동에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 살펴보고 인간의 개성을 구별하는 유지-행동 성향이 어떤 식으로 구매의도와 구매행동 사이에 영향을 미칠 수 있는지에 대해 제시했다. 그 결과, 정부, 사회환경, 소비자 효과성 지각, 공포소구는 녹색제품 구매행동에 영향을 미치지만, 환경에 대한 관심은 구매행동에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 유지-행동 성향은 구매의도와 구매행동 간에 영향을 미치는 조절변수로써, 행동성향은 구매행동에 영향을 미치지만, 유지성향은 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
