products are employed as a theoretical framework and positively and directly affects
purchase decision consumer.
It also attempts to find out the effects of cognition on the relationship between
independent variables and purchase decision consumer. A questionnaire was
developed and distributed to men who are in the age range between 20-50 years old
and living in HCM City, Vietnam. The total sample size consists of 313 respondents.
Further, the returned questionnaires were analyzed by using quantitative method and
used by SPSS version 20.0.
Basing on the linear regression analysis, it was concluded that four personal
factors suggested by conceptual framework have statistical positive relationships with
the level of purchase decision consumer of men. According to the regression equation,
the “self-image” factor have the strongest influence on purchase decision consumer;
while “Skin’s Health Attention”, “Body Attraction” and “Age and Aging Process” are
the factors which have the weakest influence on purchase decision consumer.
The regression equation, which illustrates the relationship between purchase
decision consumer and personal factors of men, developed in this study can explained
28.3% of the variation in purchase decision consumer. This result proved the
statistical meaning of the equation, but it did not confirm the strong influence of
personal factors in purchase decision. Thus, purchase decision consumer can be
affected by other factors like environment, occupation, economic, etc. | en_US |
