Abstract

The present study investigated the effects of focus on consumers' attitudes and buying intentions. For these purposes, researcher compare the attitudes and buying intentions by focus groups after presenting cognitive and affective product informations about a cellular-phone. The results of present experiment were as follow: First, cognitive focus led to highest cognitive attitude and affective focus also led to highest affective attitude. Second, It was highest buying intention in an affective focus and lowest in a non-focus. Third, a cognitive focus resulted in more cognitive words being recalled, by comparison with an affective focus, whereas an affective focus resulted in more affective words being recalled, by comparison with a cognitive focus. But they were not significant. These results show that cognitive and affective focuses lead to different attitudes that differ in their basis. An attitude formed in an affective focus results in a stronger buying intention than an attitude formed in an cognitive focus. The present findings also suggest that the different focus conditions result in different attitudes and buying intentions being formed, and to be diluting but to more enduring effects.

본 연구에서는 DMB 휴대폰 마케팅에서 인지정보와 감정정보의 초점에 따라 소비자의 태도와 구매의도가 어떻게 달라지는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 실험설계에 따라 인지초점집단, 감정초점집단의 태도와 구매의도를 측정하여, 무조작집단과 비교하였다. 실험결과에서 인지초점집단은 인지적 태도에서 높은 수준을 보였고, 감정초점집단은 감정적 태도에서 높은 수준을 보였다. 구매의도에서는 감정초점집단의 구매의도가 가장 높았고, 인지초점집단의 구매의도가 중간수준, 무조작집단의 구매의도가 가장 낮았다. 일정 기간후의 기억에서는 인지초점집단은 인지정보를 많이 기억하였고 감정초점집단은 감정정보를 많이 기억했으나, 유의적 차이는 아니었다. 결론적으로 제시된 제품정보의 초점에 따라 소비자들은 태도와 구매의도를 형성한다고 할 수 있으며, 감정정보의 영향이 인지정보보다 크다는 점을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 초점효과는 시간의 경과에 따라 약화되지만 지속적으로 소비자의 구매행동에 영향을 미친다고 할 수 있다.
