Tot dusver is baie min navorsing wat konsentreer op die spesifieke probleme wat deur Internet kledingverbruikers ondervind word, gedoen. Wanneer kledingitems aangekoop word, is waargenome kwaliteit 'n belangrike faktor wat keuses en besluitneming bei?½nvloed.

Die doel van hierdie artikel is om die konsepte verwant aan verbruikersbesluit-neming en koopgedrag in oenskou te neem, soos dit in bestaande modelle gebruik word. Die waarde van 'n gids vir die beoordeling van kwaliteit word ook aangedui.

Erasmus, Suné Donoghue","doi":"10.4314/JFECS.V26I2.52739","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4314/JFECS.V26I2.52739","url":null,"abstract":"Verbruikerstevredenheid, ‘n na-aankoopevaluering \u0000dat ‘n gekose produk aan ‘n verbruiker se verwagtinge voldoen of dit oortref (Engel et al, 1995), word algemeen as die ideale uitkoms van verbruikersbesluitneming voorgehou. Verbruikerstevredenheid verlig die interne \u0000spanningstoestand (kognitiewe dissonansie) wat veral met die aankoop van hoerisikoprodukte gepaard gaan. Verbruikerstevredenheid het die verdere voordeel vir \u0000handelaars en produsente dat verbruikers hulle tevredenheid aan ander verbruikers kommunikeer en dat daar ‘n groot moontlikheid bestaan dat die tevrede verbruikers daardie produkte weer sal koop en selfs handelsnaamlojaal kan raak. Volgens die konfirmasie/diskonfirmasieparadigma word verbruikerstevredenheid beskou as ‘n situasie van konfirmasie waar die produk aan die verbruiker se verwagtinge voldoen; verbruikersontevredenheid is dus ‘n situasie van diskonfirmasie. Navorsers is dit verder \u0000eens dat verbruikers(on)tevredenheid ook met \u0000‘n bepaalde intensiteit ervaar word. Daar is bewyse dat verbruikerstevredenheid en verbruikersontevredenheid selfs as twee afsonderlike konstrukte beskou moet word en dat die emosie op spesifieke eienskappe van \u0000die produk gerig is en selfs in stadiums manifesteer. Verbruikers vorm dus ‘n aanvanklike indruk van tevredenheid of ontevredenheid, maar met gebruik kan die emosie verander omdat evaluering ‘n voortgesette en volgehoue proses is. Om leiding met betrekking tot \u0000verbruikersbesluitneming te kan gee in ‘n poging om verbruikerstevredenheid te bevorder, moet die kompleksiteit van die konstruk sowel as die invloed van \u0000persoonlikheidsverskille tydens evaluering in a a n m e r k i n g g e n e e m w o r d . Verbruikersraadgewing is dus ewe kompleks -veral omdat verbruikers dit soms moeilik vind om hulle behoeftes met betrekking tot produkte \u0000te verbaliseer. Huishoudkundiges het ‘n beter kans om die ondersteuning te bied wat nodig is om verbruikerstevredenheid te bevorder as gevolg van hulle basiese kennis van die mens se funksionering in sy mikro- en makroomgewing saam met die produkkennis wat op \u0000meer konkrete beginsels en eienskappe berus. Verbruikerstevredenheid as die gevolg van ‘n aankoopbesluit is ‘n ideaal om voor te hou, \u0000maar as gevolg van die kompleksiteit van die \u0000konstruk en die onvoorspelbaarheid van die verbruiker se optrede is dit moeilik om dit te verwesenlik. Volgehoue navorsing in hierdie verband het tot op hede nog nie die saak vereenvoudig nie.","PeriodicalId":53194,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Ecology and Consumer Sciences","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84099526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article the aim was to determine the clothing \u0000needs which underpin conformistic and individualistic clothing behaviours. The sample was 169 Afrikaans schoolgirls chosen from a target population of 207 from four high schools in Welkom. The action research methodology that was followed included both qualitative and quantitative measurements to enhance validity. \u0000A Likert-type scale was used to identify conformistic and individualistic clothing needs. Frequencies and intensities were compared and plotted on a one-dimensional horizontal distance scale which indicated correlations \u0000between items measuring the same concept. \u0000Using Pearson’s correlation coefficient, no significant positive or negative correlations were found between individualistic and conformistic clothing behaviour. \u0000Clothing statements were linked to needs associated with conformistic and individualistic clothing behaviour. Frequencies and intensities were considered and the \u0000following conclusions were drawn:¨ The respondents favoured uniqueness in their clothing. ¨ They preferred to choose their clothing from modern and fashionable selections. ¨ They were conscious of clothing norms, \u0000were eager to dress correctly and desired social approval. \u0000The respondent’s clothing was observed qualitatively and evaluated objectively on formal and informal occasions. The results supported the quantitative findings that the \u0000respondents tended to conform to clothing norms, but preferred uniqueness and a personal tough. \u0000The results were analysed and applied as follows: \u0000¨ The respondent’s clothing needs were classified as self and other-directed and their statements were classified as \u0000egocentric and sociocentric. ¨ The respondents’ clothing needs were related to internal and external aspects of \u0000development, with special reference to autonomy and identity developmental tasks. ¨ Lists of conformistic and individualistic clothing needs were compiled, based on \u0000the findings and the literature review on needs, values, interests and attitudes.
