자아성향과 친환경심리 및 녹색소비자행동간의 관계에 대한 연구 = Study on Relationship Between Self-Construals, Environment Friendly Psychology and Green Consumer Behavior

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Recently interest in the concept of Self-construals as a new trial to explain Green consumer behavior is increasing. But existing studies had been only focused on the measurement of concept of Self-construals or partially studied on relationship between Self-construals and Green consumer behavior. This brought the result where logic did not coincide with empirical. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between Self-construals and Green consumer behavior by approaching causal relation between Self-construals and various variables of Green consumer behavior simultaneously using the model of structututuequation. As the results of the study, independent Self-construals only affected environment friendly psychology and dependent Self-construals did not affect environment friendly psychology and Green consumer behavior, while only metapeendent Self-construals affected both environment friendly psychology and Green consumer behavior. Consumers with independent Self-construals in strong individualistic tendency had an affirmative thoughts ab of environment friendliness while consumers considerate of others with dependent Self-construals in strong collective tendency showed low environment friendly psychology and they practiced Green consumer behavior, which was interesting findings. Finally, when consumer's knowledge about environment friendliness was in high level, environment friendly psychology appeared as a moderating variable strengthening influences on Green consumer behavior.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

최근 녹색소비자행동을 설명하려는 새로운 시도로 자아성향 개념에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 하지만, 기존 연구는 자아성향 개념의 측정에만 초점을 맞추거나, 자아성향과 친환경심리 및 녹색소비자행동간의 관계를 부분적으로 연구하고 있어, 논리적 예측과 경험적 관찰이 일치하지 않는 결과도 보여주고 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 자아성향(Self-Construals)과 확장된 친환경심리 및 녹색소비자행동 변수들 간의 관계를 구조방정식 모형을 이용하여 동시에 체계적으로 분석하여 자아성향과 후행변수들 간의 인과적 관계를 규명함에 있다. 직장인과 주부들을 대상으로 한 연구결과, 독립적 자아성향은 친환경심리에 긍정적인 영향을 주고 녹색소비자행동에도 일정부분(α=0.1수준) 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으나, 상호적 자아성향은 친환경심리와 녹색소비자행동에 유의한 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 개인주의적인 성향을 반영하는 독립적 자아성향이 강한 소비자들이 친환경에 대한 긍정적인 생각을 가지는 것으로 나타난 반면, 자기와 관련된 타인을 중시하는 성향을 반영하는 상호적 자아성향이 강한 소비자들이 오히려 낮은 친환경심리와 녹색소비자행동에 무관심한 것으로 나타났다. 한편 보편적 자아성향은 친환경심리 및 녹색소비자행동에 모두 긍정적 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로 자연환경에 대한 소비자의 지식이 높으면 친환경심리가 녹색소비자행동에 미치는 영향이 강화되는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
