본 연구의 목적은 텍스트 마이닝과 소셜 네트워크 분석을 활용한 소비자 맞음새 평가의 주요 특징을 규명하는 것이다. 이를 위해 SNS에서 수집된 소비자의 2,000여건의 의복 맞음새 평가 후기로부터 의복 맞음새 관련된 텍스트 데이터를 추출하고 의미연결망 분석과 CONCOR 분석을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, '팬츠'와 '스커트'가 많은 맞음새평가 어를 공유하며 다양한 형태로 평가되는 것을 확인하였고 의복의 길이가 가장 많이 평가되었다. 인체부위 중 '허리'는 다양한 의복의 맞음새를 평가하는 가장 중요한 부분이며 의복 맞음새평가어 중 '넓은', '큰', '와이드한', '긴' 등이 가장 많이 사용되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 소비자 맞음새 평가에 사용된 언어의 구조적 관계와 의미를 구체적으로 규명하고 의복 맞음새의 향상을 위한 실증적 기초 자료를 제공하는데 의의가 있다.

This study aims to develop the designs and patterns of yoga tops that are better adjusted to suit females in their 30s and 40s. After conducting a comparative analysis of three different popular yoga garments, one yoga top currently on the market was selected. Subsequently, a fit evaluation was conducted on Trail 1-garment α, which was developed body analysis performed based on selected yoga top C, followed by the production of the Trial 2 garment after making adjustments according to the comparative observation results. Based on these results, garment C with the longest top length was evaluated as the best. The results of the evaluation of appearance and fit conducted of Trial 1-garment α compared to those of C showed that Trial 1-garment α was superior in both evaluations. Trial 2-garment β was produced after making improvements on Trial 1-garment α and then placed under identical comparative evaluation condition as Trial 1-garment α. Results showed a significant improvement compared to Trial 1-garment α, and the Trial 2 garment with an additional arm pattern was shown to be superior in shoulder strap width stability, shoulder strap pressure, chest stability, degree of waist pressure, waist comfort, general fitting, and supportiveness.

Despite important theoretical implications seldom research exist regarding the impact of luxury parent brand status signaling on the evaluation of horizontal line extension through the moderating role of extension authenticity, quality and fit. The luxury literature review revealed that despite important theoretical implications seldom research exist regarding the impact of luxury parent brand status signaling on the evaluation of horizontal line extension through the moderating role of extension authenticity, quality and fit. Research has examined how consumers use luxury goods to signal their status or relative position in social hierarchies (Berger & Ward 2010; Dubois et al., 2012; Geiger-Oneto et al., 2013; Kastanakis, & Balabanis, 2014) but until the current study the luxury literature could not support the extent to which status signaling impact line extension’s evaluation through the moderating role of extension authenticity (Spiggle, Nguyen, & Caravella, 2012; Beverland & Farrelly, 2010; Morhart et al., 2015; Guèvremont & Grohmann, 2016). Previous studies have found that authenticity can be to emotional attachment (Morhart et al., 2015), help pursue personal goals (Beverland & Farrelli, 2010), or relevant to brand identity, status and equity (Guevremont & Grohmann, 2016). Surprisingly, none of these studies has empirically tested this important relationship. This study’s contribution to the literature is important as it empirically confirms that in launching a new line extension, a luxury parent brand’s status signaling will directly impact the extension’s evaluation. In the process, the perceived authenticity of the extension proves to affect the evaluation significantly if the perceived quality and fit of the extension are taken into consideration in the measurement framework.

The social responsibility of fashion companies has become a crucial factor considering company image and awareness. Businesses have thus increased their CSR activities. However, few studies have shown clear and consistent results regarding the effectiveness of CSR activities. Therefore, this study focuses on the evaluation of the direct effect of CSR on trust and corporate reputation including its moderation by consumer's perceived fit and motivation. A total of 284 completed questionnaires were obtained from adult consumers in the fashion market with promotional leaflets for CSR activities as stimuli. The results were as follows. First, the dimensions for CSR activities were categorized as follows: Social welfare responsibility, environment protection, economic responsibility, social regulation compliance, customer protection, and culture and arts support. Further social regulation compliance, and economic and social welfare responsibilities positively affected corporate trust and reputation. Second, the main effect of perceived CSR activities and fit on corporate trust and reputation was significant, and the interaction effects of the social welfare, environment protection, and culture and arts support of CSR activities and fit were significant. Finally, the interaction effect of perceived CSR activities and motivation on corporate trust and reputation was not significant, but the main effect was significant. Implications of how to manage and enhance the effectiveness of CSR activities are offered.

Consumers can have impression goals as well as defense goals. Those with impression goals could use social goals or opinions of others in a social context to determine their attitudes, and those with defense goals could maintain their existing attitudes and beliefs. Since people typically approach pleasure and avoid pain, there are two kinds of goal orientations depending on regulatory focus theory. Therefore, marketers could design advertisements for their products on the basis of two types of focus, promotion-focused and prevention-focused advertisements. This study aims to explore how consumers with different consumption goals evaluate an advertised product. The results of this study demonstrate that consumers with impression goals felt much more "right" about the product in a promotion-focused, rather than prevention-focused, advertisement, and those with defense goals, felt much more "right" about the product in a prevention-focused advertisement. Consumers with impression goals evaluated the product in the promotion-focused advertisement more favorably than in the prevention-focused advertisement, and those with defense goals evaluated the product in the prevention-focused advertisement more favorably.

조절부합은 개인의 조절초점 성향과 평가 및 판단 전략이 지닌 조절초점이 서로 일치할 때 일어난다. 본 연구에서는 평가 및 의사결정의 영역이 유발하는 조절초점과 개인의 조절초점간의 부합이 평가에 영향을 미칠 것이라고 가정하고, 향상적 영역으로는 제품 디자인 평가를, 예방적 영역으로는 도덕적 평가를 사용하여 조절부합 효과를 알아보았다. 향상초점과 관련된 영역인 미적 제품에 대한 평가 과제를 사용한 실험 1에서는 향상초점인 사람들이 예방초점인 사람들에 비해 긍정적인 것은 더 긍정적으로, 부정적인 것은 더 부정적으로 평가하였다, F(1, 95) = 4.87, p < .05. 반면 금지와 규범적인 도덕 상황을 사용한 실험 2에서는 금지적 상황에서만 예방초점인 사람들이 향상초점인 사람들에 비해 도덕적으로 옳지 않은 결정에 대해서는 더 비 도덕적인 것으로 평가하였다, F(1, 139) 4.14, p < .05. 반면 규범적 상황에 대한 평가에서는 이러한 조절부합 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 연구결과는 평가 및 의사결정 영역과 관련해서도 조절부합이 나타날 수 있음을 보여준다.
