“…However, results showed that men and women with high and low NFT did not differ in preference for physical channels. These results are inconsistent with previous research (Cho & Workman, 2011;Citrin et al, 2003;Jackson et al, 2011;De Klerk & Lubbe, 2008;Workman, 2010). Similarly, men and women with high and low CVPA did not differ in preference for physical shopping channels.…”

“…Workman 130 that participants with high (vs. low) NFT or CVPA did not differ in preference for physical channels for apparel shopping, but NFT and CVPA did influence preference for virtual shopping channels. The findings are inconsistent with some previous studies (Citrin et al, 2003;Levin et al, 2003;Peck & Childers, 2003a, 2003bTractinsky & Lowengart, 2007). These results may possibly be explained by virtual retailers' greater use of product images that activate consumers' tactile memory (Spence & Gallace, 2011).…”

“…Touching a product can increase positive attitudes toward a product, purchase intentions and confidence in product evaluations (McCabe & Nowlis, 2003;Peck & Wiggins, 2006). NFT was negatively related to purchase of clothing via a virtual channel (Citrin, Stem, Spangenberg, & Clark, 2003). Consumers' NFT affected channel preference; that is, there was a negative correlation between purchasing products on the Internet and high NFT (Peck & Childers, 2003a).…”

“…Women scored higher than men on the NFT scale and used touch equally for pleasure and product information; men used touch primarily to obtain product information (Workman, 2010). NFT was negatively related to purchase of products online (Citrin et al, 2003). Consumers who had greater NFT and used more than one channel for clothes shopping preferred shopping at physical stores (Cho & Workman, 2011).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine how apparel consumers' preference for physical or virtual shopping channels is related to gender and consumers' dispositional traits of need for touch (NFT) and centrality of visual product aesthetics (CVPA). A survey was conducted using a convenience sample of 276 US college students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, MANOVA and ANOVA. Results of this study indicate that participants with high NFT or CVPA had a greater preference for virtual channels than participants with low NFT or CVPA. Gender by itself was not an important influence in preference for shopping channels; however, the results of this study revealed that gender interacted with NFT and CVPA on preference for virtual channels. Men with high NFT or CVPA showed the highest preference for virtual channels, while women with high NFT or CVPA did not differ from other groups in their preference for virtual channels. There were no main effects and no interactions among variables on preference for physical channels. This study is the first to investigate the interactions of gender with NFT and CVPA in preference for apparel shopping channels.

“…E[SORLWLQJ D SHUVRQ ¶V VHQVHV efficiently is the key of such technologies and currently, devices that output information by sight and hearing, such as 3D TV and home theater system, have been already commercialized. The sense of touch is the promising one to be utilized in input/output devices [1] [2]. The sense of touch enables intuitive and smooth handling of touch screen devices as we experience in using cellular phones.…”

Abstract²We demonstrate display of artificial tactile feeling using large displacement MEMS actuator arrays. Each actuator consists of a piezoelectric actuator and hydraulic displacement amplification mechanism (HDAM) that encapsulates incompressible liquid in a micro-chamber with two flexible polymer membranes. In prior work, we experimentally applied the actuator arrays to an efficient vibrational Braille code display. In this paper, we investigated the artificial tactile feeling projected onto the fingertip in contact with the display while the actuation pattern was controlled both temporally and spatially. The arrays could successfully display two relative tactile feelings, ³URXJK´ DQG ³VPRRWK´ GLVWLQFWO\ ZKHQ WKH YLEUDWLRQDO frequency of the individual actuator and switching time of the lines of actuators were controlled. In addition, we found that pseudo tactile sensation appeared between the adjacent cells of the display while the two actuators were controlled to have identical vibrating frequencies. We experimentally deduced the conditions when the pseudo tactile sensation was generated and the ³effective´ resolution of the display was augmented. Pseudo tactile sensation would enable the display to transfer more variable tactile sensation and thus, information to the finger.
