ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of self-regulatory mode (locomotion mode vs. assessment mode) on purchase intention according to the sorting possibility and categorization. Experiment 1 examines the moderating effects of attribute’s alignability, and Experiment 2 examines the moderating effects of categorization. College students in Seoul and Kyunggi province participated in experiments for 20 days from May 4 to 15, 2018, with 247 participants and 203 participants in Experiment 1 and Experiment 2, respectively. As a result, In Experiment 1, the interaction effect of the attribute’s alignability and the self-regulatory mode were statistically significant. In Experiment 2, the interaction effect between categorization and self-regulatory mode were statistically significant. In conclusion, the results of this experiment suggest the implications of consumers' behavioral changes in purchasing travel products and suggestions of how to present them in presenting travel products.
