The Impact of Consumption Goals on Chinese Consumers’ Happiness - Moderating Effects of Decision-making Model and Self-construal 소비목표류형대중국소비자행복감적영향 — 이결책류형화자아구사류형적조절작용위 중심
This study examines the effects of consumption goals on happiness. For the sake of this analysis, we classify consumption goals into hedonistic consumption goals and utilitarian consumption goals, decision-making models into feeling-based and reason-based models, and self-construal into independent self-construal and interdependent self-construal. Next, the results of the study are reported. Through two experiments, the proposed hypothesis was tested. A total number of 366 students were recruited to participate in this study. Besides, participants’ happiness levels and consumption goals were measured using lists of questions and scenarios. As shown by results, the decision model (feeling-based/reason-based) moderates the relationship between consumption goals and happiness. Similarly, the relationship between consumption goals and happiness is moderated by self-construal (independent self-construal/interdependent self-construal). The first experiment showed a significant interaction between decision-making model and happiness. In other words, consumers with hedonistic consumption goals make feeling-based decisions that lead to high levels of happiness. However, consumers with utilitarian consumption goals are happier when making reason-based decisions. Evidently, the second experiment also showed a significant interaction between consumption goal and construal level. It is clear that consumers with hedonistic consumption goals are highly happier with independent self-construal. Conversely, consumers with utilitarian consumption goals are happier with the self-construal of interdependence. Our study results make a significant contribution to the happiness related academic literature. Besides, this study revealed how consumers’ level of happiness can be influenced by the consumption goal, decision-making model and construal level.

소개
본 연구소의 설립을 통해 우선 한중 양국 국민의 상호이해와 교류증진을 위한 인문, 사회과학적인 연구는 물론이고, 이를 통해 기업(인)이 중국에 안정적인 정착과 교류를 할 수 있는 각종 환경을 조성하고자 한다.
게다가 본 연구소는 기존의 연구소의 기능과는 달리 단순한 학술 교류에 머물지 않고 인적 교류를 통해 양국관계의 이해를 증진하고 나아가 한국과 중국의 각종 프로젝트를 적극 유치, 개발함으로써 지속적으로 재원의 창출을 도모하고자 한다.
