시간해석과 자아해석이 소비자의 고려상표군 형성에 미치는 영향

박종철 ( Jong Chul Park ),류강석 ( Gang Seog Ryu ) 한국소비자학회 2012 소비자학연구 Vol.23 No.1

기존문헌에서 소비자의 고려상표군 형성과 관련된 다양한 영향요인들이 제시되었지만, 시간해석과 자아해석의 효과에 대해서는 아직 연구가 이루어지지 않았다. 이러한 공백을 채우기 위하여 본 연구는 시간해석과 자아해석이 고려상표군의 크기와 이질성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 실험을 통하여 탐구하였다. 먼저, 시간해석의 관점에서 보면, 가까운 미래보다 먼 미래에 얼어날 소비상황에서 소비자들은 더욱 많은 수의 대안들을 고려상표군에 포함시키고, 이러한 대안들은 서로 다른 제품범주에 속할 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 상호의존적 자아해석과 비교하여 독립적 자아해석이 강한 소비자들은 특정의 소비목적을 충족하기 위하여 더욱 많은 수의 대안을 고려하고, 고려상표군에 포함된 대안들의 이질성도 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 나아가, 시간해석과 자아해석이 동시에 작용하는 경우, 독립적 자아해석이 강한 소비자들이 먼 미래의 선택을 할 때 고려상표군의 크기와 이질성이 가장 큰 것으로 보고되었다. 반면 나머지 세 조건(상호의존적 자아해석-가까운 미래, 상호의존적 자아해석-먼 미래, 독립적 자아해석-가까운 미래) 간의 차이는 유의하지 않은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 즉, 다른 성향을 지닌 두 조건이 결합될 경우, 한 변수가 다른 변수의 효과를 약화시킨 것이다. 본 연구는 고려상표군 문헌과 시간 및 자아해석 문헌 각각에 대하여 새로운 연구결과를 제공할 뿐만 아니라, 시간해석과 자아해석의 연관성 및 상호작용 효과에 관한 시사점도 제시하고 있다. 마지막으로, 기업의 고려상표군 전략과 관련하여, 브랜드 위상(예, 선도 vs. 후발 브랜드)이나 특성(예, 혁신 vs. 개선제품)에 따라 어떤 마케팅활동이 더욱 적합하고 효과적일지 제안하고자 한다. Despite a long tradition of research on consideration set formation, little is known about the impact of temporal construal and self-construal on the phenomenon. To fill this gap in the literature, the research examines how temporal construal and self-construal, respectively as well as interactively, influence the size and heterogeneity of consumers` consideration sets in an experimental setting. According to the construal level theory and its related research findings, individuals tend to construe consumption occasions or goals in more abstract way, to pursue maximal or desirable outcomes, to avoid ommission errors, and to have broader categories as the temporal distance increases. In contrast, when the temporal distance decreases, people are likely to construe consumption occasions or goals in more concrete way, to pursue minimal or feasible) outcomes, to avoid commission errors, and to have narrower categories. These differences across temporal contrual levels lead us to develop Hypothesis 1-1 and 1-2, stating that consumers will form a larger and more heterogeneous consideration set when they make a decision for a distant future rather than for a near future. The literature on self-construal suggests that independent construals tend to be promotion-focused, to value positive outcomes and benefits, to take risks, to perceive a higher degree of similarity due to decontextualized information processing, and to rely on ``exclusion`` mode of screening, whereas interdependent construals tend to be prevention-focused, to value not making mistakes, to avoid risks, to have a narrow and detailed category structure due to contextualized information processing, and to use ``inclusion`` mode of screening, Thus we can predict that consumers who have independent self-contruals are likely to include a larger number of and more diverse brands in their consideration set than those who have interdependent self-contruals (Hypothesis 2-1 and 2-2). As to the interaction between temporal distance and self-construal, we need to look into each of the four conditions separately. First, when consumers with interdependent self-construal make a decision for a near future, they will formulate a smallest and least heterogenous consideration set (condition 1). Second, when consumers with independent self-construal make a decision for a distant future, they will form a largest and most heterogenous consideration set(condition 4). Third, when consumers with interdependent self-construal make a decision for a distant future(condition 2) or when consumers with independent self-construal make a decision for a near future(condition 3), there are two possibilities. The first is that only one of the two variables has effects with the other one dormant, especially one that is expected to bring about a larger and more heterogenous consideration set. Under this possibility, the consideration set will be significantly larger and more heterogeneous in the condition 2 or 3 than in the condition 1. The other is that one variable suppresses the impact of the other variable, which makes it harder to predict whether the combined effects (condition 2 or 3) will be significantly different from that in the condition 1. Therefore, Hypothesis 3-1 and 3-2 deal with only the two extreme conditions(1 and 4), and posit that the consideration set will be bigger and more diverse when consumers with independent self-construal make a decision for a distant future compared to when consumers with interdependent self-construal make a decision for a near future. A laboratory experiment, with a 2 (self-construal: independent vs. interdependent) x 2 (temporal distance: near vs. distant) full-factorial between-subjects design, was conducted to test the hypotheses. One hundred and eighty-five college students participated in the experiment as part of a course requirement. In the experiment, self-construal was manipulated by asking the participants to write a story using ``I(i.e., independent self)`` or ``we(ie., interdependent self)`` about a travel done by oneself or with a group of friends after seeing a corresponding photo. Then they chose multiple alternatives of performances(e.g., play, movie, concert, etc.) for further consideration, assuming that they are going to watch it tomorrow(i.e., near future) or a month later(i.e., distant future). The manipulations turned out to be successful. Four separate t-tests were performed to test the main effect hypotheses(Hypothesis 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2), and two ANOVAs, followed by planned contrasts, were used to test Hypothesis 3-1 and 3-2. The analysis results confirmed our predictions. First, participants included a larger number of and more heterogeneous alternatives in their consideration sets for the distant rather than near future purchase occasion(size: t=2.820, p<.01; 5.37 vs. 4.62, heterogeneity: t=3.079, p<.01; 2.47 vs. 2.13). Second. the consideration sets comprised of a larger number of and more heterogeneous brands for participants of independent self-construal compared to those of interdependent self-construal(size: t=2.316, p<.05; 5.29 vs. 4.67, heterogeneity: t=1.618. p=.10: 2.39 vs. 2.20). Moreover, when both types of construals were in operation, participants formulated the largest and most heterogeneous consideration sets when making decision for the distant furture with independent self-construal activated(size 5.86; heterogeneity 2.61). On the other hand, there were no significant differences in the size or herogeneity of consideration sets between the rest of the three consditions(i.e., near future-interdependent self-construal〔4.47: 2.07〕. near future-independent self-construal〔4.78: 2.19〕, and distant future-interdependent self-construal〔4.89: 2.34〕). This research add new findings not only to the literature on consideration set formation, but also proposes a possibility that temporal construal and self-construal may be closely related to each other in terms of generating similar effects from consumers. It also provides some insights for the nature of interactions between the two constructs. That is, one variable suppresses the impact of the other variable to a certain extent when the two variables operate simultaneously with opposite effects. Finally, firms should devise different strategies depending on the status of their brands(e.g., leader vs. follower) or nature of their products(e.g., really innovative vs. incremental) to increase the probability for them to be considered by consumers.

정약용 추서론(推恕論)의 철학적 함의-자수(自修)와 치인(治人)의 관계를 통해 본 다산의 서(恕) 이해

백민정 ( Baek¸ Minjung ) 고려대학교 철학연구소 2021 철학연구 Vol.- No.64

이 글은 다산 정약용 推恕論의 철학적 함의를 분석한 것이다. 선행연구에서 주희의 忠恕論과 다산의 관점을 비교한 경우가 있지만 해명되지 못한 쟁점들이 있다고 보고 이 점을 다산 관점에서 재조명한다. 다산은 恕의 두 층위를 推恕와 容恕로 구분하는 한편 추서를 엄격한 自修와 상대에 대한 섬김[事人]으로서의 治人의 두 차원에서 상보적으로 해명했다. 또한 推恕를 위한 전제로서 自修하는 자의 好惡의 성격, 올바른 호오를 얻기 위한 방법에 대해서도 숙고한다. 다산의 추서론을 통해 恕의 행위준칙이 윤리적 즐거움과 쾌감에 기여하며 덕 윤리에 공명하는 것임을 밝힌다. The purpose of this study lies in analyzing the philosophical implications of Jeong Yagyong’s 丁若鏞 (1762-1836; pen name: Dasan 茶山) theory of inferential sympathetic consideration 推恕論. His theory of inferential sympathetic consideration basically focuses not on acts of governing others 治人 but on efforts at self-cultivation. In comparison, Zhu Xi’s 朱熹 (1130-1200) concept of sympathetic consideration 恕 clearly paid attention to others with whom one formed relationships rather than to oneself and urged changes in others. Jeong focused all responsibilities and efforts for inferential sympathetic consideration on the self, the subject. It is because he understood even 治人 as a process for completing the subject’s self-cultivation. This, in turn, stemmed from his understanding of the meaning of governance over others as serving others 事人. For Dasan, governance over others was an extension of inferential sympathetic consideration as self-cultivation, and faithfulness to inferential sympathetic consideration could be secured only through training in governance over others that served them. In contrast, to him, Zhu’s concept of sympathetic consideration was not strict self-cultivation but consisted of acts of governing others, and lenient responses in accordance with others’ abilities ultimately failed to overcome abuses caused by excessive accommodation of sympathetic consideration 容恕. Dasan also pondered on desirable likes and dislikes 好惡 that were indispensably demanded for the praxis of sympathetic consideration. In his view, one’s likes and dislikes, rather than being inherent, came to be clearly perceived by oneself through experiences repeated in ethical human relationships with those whom one had social intercourse with. Consequently, when one bestowed on others after distinguishing between what one did and did not wish for, one’s likes and dislikes as hypothesized by Dasan ultimately could be understood as originating from one’s previous relationships with others. In this respect, Dasan’s understanding of sympathetic consideration reflected important philosophical reflections on issues such as humans’ inevitable interrelationality and alterity and the experientiality of ethical desires. Sympathetic consideration, which Dasan stressed as a Confucian, was not simply a code of conduct based on reciprocity or bilateral contracts. It consisted of neither an attitude of dealing with others in a self-interested and calculating manner in order to avoid damages or losses or to obtain profits nor preemptive efforts in order to avoid what one disliked. In this respect, an attitude based on sympathetic consideration was distant from the Western attitude of tolerance, which is basically based on contractual relationships. The logic of inferential sympathetic consideration presumes continued interest and affection for the application of one’s treasured ethical values to others. Another significant aspect of Dasan’s theory of inferential sympathetic consideration is that he acknowledged others as beings coexisting with oneself and highly esteemed their status as beings indispensable to one’s ethical completion. Also highly commendable is the fact that he did not consider others as objects of enlightenment or education. It is because, to him, others were beings who make possible one’s ethical completion.

푸코의 자기 배려 이론으로 본 자기 성찰 글쓰기 탐색1 - K대학교 <대학 글쓰기> 수강생들의 내러티브 글을 중심으로

This study is addressing through which process the mind of self-reflection and self-consideration is expressed targeting students who took the curricular subject of <University Writing> at K University where is located in Daegu. This was analyzed focusing on the self-consideration (epimeleia heautou) theory by Michel Foucault, namely, on the theory as saying of coming to develop into self-growth and self-consideration after passing through the self-understanding and self-reflection process. The texts include the narrative texts that students described in the process of ‘self-reflection and writing in Chapter 3’ as a section that was newly added to University Writing , which is a textbook of having been published in February 2020 and was applied until the 1st semester of 2021. This has a significance with regard to having been freshly added with recognizing that even the theory of writing is crucial, but that the establishment of ego identity with looking into oneself and loving oneself is more imminent than anything. It was intensively examined the narrative texts in 4 people who reflected the relevant theme best. On top of this, the analysis was made on the contents of the questionnaire survey in which the university students participated after taking course. There is a significance in terms of having researched and verified with taking the actual case based on the narratives of undergraduates and of having figured out a change in inner mind of students through a university class.

자기배려로서의 글쓰기

양근용(Yang, Guen-Yong) 인천대학교 인문학연구소 2012 인문학연구 Vol.18 No.-

The purposes of this study are to search the meaning about self-consideration included into the writing of self-examination and to propose the method of joint writing accomplished by a duad as a teaching model of the self-consideration writing. For this, I looked into a concept about the self-consideration writing minutely in chapter II. According to the concept, the self-consideration writing is physical training to reform the one"s status in his or her current life and to generate it. In chapter III, I found out that the writing of self-examination highlighted these days is inherent in activities of actual reading comprehension and summary writing implemented in the Korean education. Therefore, the connection of writing education between middle/high schools and universities should be preceded. In chapter IV, I showed the joint writing by a duad as a teaching model of self-consideration writing. The joint writing is an activity that students can objectively check their writing problems and can solve them through the cooperative polish and a role change as a writer and a reader. This joint writing is the way to check whether a learner can show his achievement about his writing or not by writing his the letter of self-introduction.

본 연구는 그림책을 활용한 인성교육 활동이 유아의 배려와 자기조절력에 미치는 효과를 알아보는 것이다. 이러한 목적을 위해 경기도 S시에 소재한 K어린이집과 E어린이집 2곳에 재원 중인 만 4세 유아 40명을 표집하여 실험집단과 통제집단에 각각 유아 20명을 배정하였다. 그림책을 활용한 인성교육 활동은 실험집단에 6주간 12차시가 실시되었고, 활동은 그림책 읽기와 이와 연계된 확장 활동으로 제시하였다. 실험에 참여하지 않은 비교집단은 실험집단과 같은 인성 관련 그림책 읽기만 실시하였다. 측정도구는 배려 검사와 자기조절력 검사를 이용하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 그림책을 활용한 인성교육 활동을 실시한 실험집단의 배려 점수가 그렇지 않은 비교집단보다 유의미하게 높게 나타났으며, 배려 측정도구의 하위 영역인 환경, 타인, 자기, 동식물에서도 같은 결과가 나타났다. 둘째, 그림책을 활용한 인성교육 활동을 실시한 실험집단의 자기조절력 점수가 그렇지 않은 비교집단 보다 유의미하게 높게 나타났으며, 자기조절력 측정도구의 하위 영역인 자기 통제력, 충동성 감소, 주의 집중력에서도 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면, 그림책을 활용한 인성교육 활동은 유아의 배려와 자기조절력에 효과적임이 입증되었다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 하여 유아교육 현장에서 인성교육 프로그램이 효율적으로 활용되어 배려와 자기조절력 및 유아 발달에 긍정적인 기여할 수 있기를 기대한다. This study seeks to examine the effect of using picture books for character education on children’s levels of consideration and self-regulation. 40 4-year olds attending two preschools (‘K’ and ‘E’) in City S of Gyeonggi Province were placed into two separate groups–20 children from Preschool ‘K’ were designated as the experimental group, while 20 children from Preschool ‘E’ were placed in the control group. Both groups read the same picture books 12 times over the span of 6 weeks, with the experimental group also partaking in additional character educational activities that expanded upon the readings, which the control group was not subjected to. ‘Level of consideration’ was measured using the ‘Young Children’s Caring Scale’ and ‘level of self-regulation’ was measured with the ‘Self-Regulating Rating Scale.’ The results of this study are as follows: First, level of consideration from the experimental group that participated in character education activities through picture books was significantly higher than that of the control group, in all subcategories of the measurement scale such as environment, others, self, and animals/plants. Second, the level of self-regulation from the experimental group was also significantly higher than that of the control group. Specifically, the results showed the effectiveness of such character-building activities on measurement subcategories of self-control, resistance to impulsiveness, and attentiveness. In sum, this research substantiates that character education using picture books is effective in cultivating young children’s consideration and self-regulation. The results of the study suggest that an efficient implementation of character education programs at early childhood educational institutions would foster a healthy level of consideration and self-regulation among young children and promote healthy development.

고등학생의 미래결과에 대한 고려와 자기통제가 능동 지연행동과 수동 지연행동에 미치는 영향

문지영(Moon, Jiyoung),한세영(Han, Sae-Young) 충북대학교 생활과학연구소 2020 생활과학연구논총 Vol.24 No.1

This study aimed to examine how the contemplation of future consequences and the exercise of self-control affected active and passive procrastination behaviors evinced by high school students. A total of 510 high school students from Seoul and Gyeonggi province participated in this study. A questionnaire that queried the components of the consideration of future consequences, self-control, as well as active and passive procrastination was administered to the participants. The obtained data were analyzed using correlation and path analyses. The study yielded the following significant results: The consideration of future consequences was found to indirectly influence active and passive procrastination through the element of self-control. High scores in the sub-scale CFC-Future prompted higher self-control which, in turn, caused higher active procrastination and lower passive procrastination. Higher tallies in the sub-scale CFC-immediate were found to initiate lower self-control which, in turn, generated lower active procrastination and higher passive procrastination. In conclusion, the present investigation confirmed that the cognition of future consequences and the application of self-control affect both active and passive forms of procrastination. The outcomes of this study can contribute significantly to a more comprehensive understanding of the manners in which the thinking of future consequences influences active and passive procrastination behaviors exhibited by high school students. The results of this study can be used as a basis for prospective investigations into the theme of procrastination during adolescence.

저차원의 욕구·고차원의 욕구와 변혁적 리더십 요인과의 상관관계에 관한 연구

이임정,윤관호 대한경영교육학회 2006 경영교육저널 Vol.9 No.-

본 연구는 인간이 가야할 궁극적 이상향이 자아실현인이라는 매슬로우의 주장에 근거하여, 훌륭하게 기업을 경영했던 리더들의 변혁적 역량을 높이 평가하여 두 요인간의 영향력을 알아보고자 했다. 즉, 자아실현욕구가 변혁적 리더십의 성향-카리스마, 지적 자극, 개별적 배려-에 긍정적인 영향을 행사하리라는 추론 하에 실시되었다. 또한 프랭클의 주장처럼 인간은 자유의지에 의해 열악한 상황 속에서 저차원의 욕구를 통제당할 때조차 고차원의 선택을 할 수 있는지의 여부도 더불어 조사하고자 했다. 추론처럼 카리스마와 지적 자극, 개별적 배려는 자아실현의 욕구에 의해 긍정적인 영향을 받았다는 결론에 도달했다. 그러나 생리적 욕구에 대한 가설은 기각되었다. [가설 1]은 자아실현인들은 총체적이고 독특한 자아를 추구하며, 자신이 가진 모든 능력을 최대한 발휘하도록 하고, 자신의 내면뿐만 아니라 외부세계에 대하여도 자신감을 갖도록 강력하게 요구한다는 매슬로우의 주장과도 일치한다. [가설 2]는 변혁적 리더 한 개인에 대한 의존성은 가지고 있으나 자아실현욕구가 지적 자극에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 자아실현인들은 더 나은 이상을 추구하기 위해, 절정경험을 위해 노력한다는 매슬로우의 주장과도 일치한다. [가설 3]은 결핍욕구에 대한 충족은 성장욕구의 촉구를 가져오며, 하위욕구인 사회적 욕구의 충족은 한 단계 높은 상위동기의 욕구를 충족하도록 자극하는 역할을 한다는 매슬로우의 주장과도 일치한다. [가설 4], [가설 5], [가설 6]은 기각되었다. The purpose of this study is find an answer to the impact of physiological needs, self-actualization needs on transformational leadership. The leader who manage enterprise successfully have transformation leadership. The hypothesis is self-actualization have positive effect on charisma, intellectual stimulus, individual consideration. And low needs(physiological needs) have positive effect on charisma, intellectual stimulus, individual consideration. Experimental results verified the hypothesis. The result is self-actualization have effect on charisma, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration. But physiological needs have no effect on charisma and individual consideration. The human being who have self-actualization follow up unique self. He ask for people must have confidence. This result agree with Maslow"s viewpoint. The sufficiency of lack press for growth. This opinion agree with Maslow"s viewpoint too. The problem of physiological needs is still a matter of debate in following study.

The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that affect university students’ self-management competency. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine relationships between variables, and the relative contributions of predictors on self-management competency with data collected by online survey in 293 university students. This study examined factors affecting self-management competency at the level of individual (agreeableness, openness to experience, self-respect) and community (communication, consideration, responsibility) and the relative contributions of these factors. The results showed that responsibility was a strong predictor of self-management competency (accounting for 16% of variance), following by self-respect and communication. These results indicate that self-respect and interpersonal communication skills and responsbilities play an important role in strengthening and improving self-management competency. The findings of this study will help the understanding about the university students’ self-management competency and the development of self-management education program.

The purpose of education is to enable individuals to fully demonstrate own intellectual, moral and emotional strengths in order to lead worthwhile life of living harmoniously within a community of people and nature. South Korea has one of the highest educational fervor in the world; and due to this, students’ academic achievement is top-rated among OECD nations. However, their social interaction, happiness index, regard for others as well as ability to work with others were all rated at bottom-levels as the true value of education had become de-emphasized. This study examined the effects of a Mind Subtraction Meditation youth camp on self control, consideration-communication and community spirit of participants. The camp consisted of a 7-day overnight stay program held at the J Youth Training Center in N-city. Study participants were 327 students comprised of 192 elementary and 135 middle school students who attended the camp. Data were collected via self-reported questionnaires and analyzed using a paired t-test with SPSS 24.0. The results showed that self control, consideration-communication, and community spirit among elementary and middle school students were significantly increased after participating in the camp. This was significant because the result demonstrated symmetrical enhancement effects of meditation-based youth camp on self control for proper self-development, as well as consideration-communication and community spirit which are necessary virtues as members of a society.
