“…Earlier adopters (vs. later adopters) of fashion spent more time searching for information about fashion, made more clothing shopping trips, were more likely to attend fashion shows, read more fashion advertising, fashion magazines, and other women's magazines, and watched more television programs dealing with clothing styles [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Earlier (vs. later) adopters of fashion scored higher in convenience/time, recreational, and impulsive shopping orientations [36].…”

Perception of Time, Creative Attitudes, and Adoption of Innovations: A Cross-Cultural Study from Chinese and US College Students

This study explores how earlier (vs. later) adopters of innovation differ in time perception and creative attitudes, comparing Chinese and US college students. Research on the perception of time and creative attitudes is useful to understand how sustainability and creative collaboration might work together. Various relationships exist between different levels of innovation adoption groups and creative attitudes or perceptions of time. We found that earlier adopters scored higher on economic time and future time orientation. This may indicate that earlier adopters are sensitive about their planned schedule. Also, earlier adopters with a future time orientation are forward-thinking and anticipate the introduction of new styles, items, or events in the future. We also find that Chinese (vs. US) participants scored higher on creative capacity and creative collaboration but did not differ in general creative attitudes or creative risk-taking. For all participants from these two countries, earlier adopters (vs. later) scored higher on all aspects of creative attitudes. This study suggests academic and practical implications regarding sustainability issues. From an academic perspective, this study adds a new perspective to the literature about the relationships among time of adoption, time perception, creative attitudes, and cultural values, and is especially useful for how these four variables influence sustainability. From a practitioner perspective, this study provides information of how consumer values and attitudes in a developing economy (China) and a developed economy (US) might facilitate open innovation and induce sustainability.

“…Sulke gedrag kon egter nie in hierdie studie waargeneem word nie en daarom word individualisme nie as gedrag wat norme verwerp beskou nie, maar eerder as unieke optrede binne die norme. Dit is hoofsaaklik hierdie behoefte aan uniekheid binne die norme of mode (Goldsmith et al, 1996) wat nie altyd korrek deur navorsers waargeneem word nie (Snyder & Fromkin, 1980:25). Hierdie navorsers meen dat daar enersyds te sterk na afwykende gedrag as teenpool vir konformerende gedrag gesoek word, en dat konformerende gedrag andersyds te veel as "negatiewe" gedrag bejeën word.…”

In Part I (Blignault & Botha, 1994) the clothing needs of middle-adolescents were inferred from clothing behaviour statements and the 20 needs identified by Murray (1981). In this article the aim was to determine the clothing needs 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. A 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 between items measuring the same concept. Using Pearson's correlation coefficient, no significant positive or negative correlations were found between individualistic and conformistic clothing behaviour.Clothing statements were linked to needs associated with conformistic and individualistic clothing behaviour. Frequencies and intensities were considered and the following 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, were eager to dress correctly and desired social approval.

“…The results suggest that there are clearly some tweens that are more interested in fashion than others. Though the sample was limited in size, the percentage of FCAs in this group is higher than several other groups studied (Goldsmith, Flynn & Moore, 1996;Workman & Kidd, 2000;Workman, 2009). Additionally, tween's influence in the market should be reflected with their growing economic power and the percentage of FCAs in the group.…”
