為瞭解寂寞的消費者在消費動機上的呈現，且不同寂寞消費動機與消費行為間的對應關係，以及探討消費行為是否能夠持續有效地改善消費者因寂寞程度所造成的負面感受，本研究目的有三：一、深入探究消費者因應寂寞感的消費動機；二、瞭解不同消費動機與各類消費行為的對應關係；三、寂寞消費者藉由消費行為而產生的情緒是否能夠有效的持續。 本研究先以深入訪談的方式，探究消費者在面對寂寞時的消費動機，以及其消費行為；之後透過問卷調查以量化資料分析寂寞消費動機之類型，並瞭解消費者的消費動機與消費類型之關係，且比較消費者在逛街當下與結束消費後回到家一陣子的消費情緒差異。在深入訪談方面，透過人際網絡轉介合適的受訪者，計進行六次深入訪談，每次訪談時間約為一至一小時半。在問卷調查方面，分別進行兩種施測方式，其中一部分針對正在逛街的消費者進行施測，以得知消費當下的情緒；另一部分則請消費者帶回家填答並郵寄給研究者，以得到消費者在結束消費回到家一陣子後的情緒。共計回收有效樣本數為550份。 研究結果發現：消費者因應寂寞所產生的消費動機確如深入訪談所得之寂寞消費動機類型，包括：一、為了能夠增加人際互動的「追求人際接觸動機」，二、為了能夠完全沈浸在活動中，獲得自我某種特定感受的「追求個人感受動機」，三、為了能夠改變或是離開平日一成不變的人、事、物之「逃離人際環境動機」，四、為了暫時遺忘或是躲避自己內心煩惱、不愉快的「逃離個人心境動機」。此結果除證實過去學者所指出的追求人際接觸動機、追求個人感受動機外，另外，亦驗證由深入訪談所發現逃離面中的逃離人際環境動機與逃離個人心境動機，且高度寂寞感的消費者在逃離個人心境的消費動機明顯較低度寂寞感者更強，在追求人際接觸動機方面則較低度寂寞感者為弱；在消費行為與消費動機兩者關係方面，消費者每月去KTV、PUB、看電影、逛街等娛樂性的支出，受到追求人際接觸動機以及逃離個人心境動機的影響，選購服飾、飾品等置裝性支出則受到四類型消費動機的影響，而在與朋友一起用餐的聚餐性花費則是受到追求人際接觸動機的影響；在時間類別方面的消費中，消費者平日出門逛街的頻率則受到追求個人感受動機與逃離個人心境所驅策，而平日出門花費的時間則受到追求人際接觸動機的影響。最後，本研究發現消費行為無法持續有效的改善高度寂寞消費者的情緒，亦即在不同消費間隔時間下，低度寂寞的消費者，其正在逛街與回到家一陣子後的正向或是負向情緒沒有明顯的差異；然而高度寂寞的消費者，不但整體正向情緒、負向情緒都較低度寂寞的消費者不佳，且高度寂寞的消費者在回到家一陣子後的情緒相較在逛街當下更明顯地低落許多。 本研究在對寂寞消費動機的類型上，首先指出寂寞消費動機包括「追求–逃離」、「人際–個人」兩大寂寞消費動機元素，共可分為四類消費動機，可作為日後研究寂寞感學者之參考；且在消費類別的分類上亦發現與各類寂寞消費動機之關連性，並依此對廠商提出實務上的建議，最後，本研究指出消費行為無法持續有效的改善消費者因寂寞程度所帶來的負面影響，作為消費者選擇因應寂寞感之行動參考。 / The purpose of this study is to realize the diversity of lonely consumers’ shopping motivations and the relationships between their lonely shopping motivations and shopping behaviors. This study also aims to discuss whether negative emotions of lonely consumers can be effectively changed by their shopping behaviors. Hence, this study has three goals: first, to explore in depth the shopping motivations of lonely consumers; second, to identify the relationships between different shopping motivation types and shopping behaviors; and third, to know the difference of the consumers’ shopping emotions in different time points, i.e. during and after their shopping behaviors. The research process of this study is composed of two steps, each employing a different research method. The first step uses in depth interviews to investigate consumers’ shopping motivations when feeling lonely. These in depth interviews were held with six compatible consumers introduced through friends. The second step uses questionnaires to analyze the types of lonely shopping motivations and to discover the relationships between shopping motivations and shopping behaviors. This step utilizes a sample of 550 consumers. All of respondents were reported in two different contexts. Around three fifth of the respondents (331) filled out on the spot during respondents’ shopping process in order to assess his/her emotion at the moment; 219 respondents were asked to bring back the questionnaire and complete at home after shopping so as to determine their post-shopping emotion after a period of time. Results of the sample of 550 consumers show that consumers have four types of lonely shopping motivations, which are the same as the results of the in depth interviews. These motivations include seeking interpersonal contacts, seeking personal feelings, escaping interpersonal environments, and escaping personal moods: the motivation of seeking interpersonal contacts means that consumers want to be in contact with people via interpersonal activities, the motivation of seeking personal feelings refers to consumers wanting to find some specific feelings by involving themselves into activities, the motivation of escaping interpersonal environments indicate that consumers want to change their daily routines, and the motivation of escaping personal moods suggests that consumers want to forget their troubles or the bad moods. Moreover, this study discovers a new set of motivations besides the seeking motivations already pointed out by the academics—the escaping motivations. Consumers with high degree of loneliness are stronger in the motivation of escaping personal moods and weaker in the motivation of seeking interpersonal contacts than consumers with low degree of loneliness. Results also reveal the relationships between lonely shopping motivations and shopping behaviors: the monthly costs of discretion activities such as going to KTVs, pubs, movies, etc. are affected by the motivations of seeking interpersonal contacts and escaping personal moods, whereas the monthly costs for clothing are affected by four kinds of lonely shopping motivations, and the monthly costs of dining with friends are affected by the motivation of seeking interpersonal contacts. Other than costs, the frequency of shopping is affected by motivations of seeking personal feelings and escaping personal moods; the average spending time on the street is also affected by the motivation of seeking interpersonal contacts. Furthermore, comparison of consumer emotions during and after shopping reveals that positive shopping emotions are stronger during shopping than when at home after shopping, but negative shopping emotions are the same for both groups. If consumers have a high degree of loneliness, emotions during shopping are worse than those at home after shopping. However, there is no significant difference for consumers with a low degree of loneliness in their emotions during shopping and at home after shopping. This reveals that shopping behaviors cannot sustainably improve the emotions of consumers with high degrees of loneliness. To sum up the result of this study, when consumers feel lonely they have four types of shopping motivations, including seeking and escaping. This result can be an important framework for the future researches. Moreover, businesses can take the relationships between lonely shopping motivations and shopping behaviors into consideration when designing marketing plans. Finally, consumers should know that the shopping behaviors cannot sustainably ameliorate the negative effects of loneliness.

本研究重點欲探討時下人人皆有的心理狀態「寂寞感」、「交友軟體的使用動機」與「自我揭露」行為之間的關係、而「交友軟體品質特性」又如何調節影響「交友軟體使用動機」與「自我揭露」行為。本研究採取網路問卷調查的方式，對於交友App有使用經驗的使用者為主要調查對象，共計307有效問卷進行分析。本研究主要發現如下： 1.本研究的受試者以男性、年齡18-25歲、學歷以大專院校者為最多，感情狀況以未婚族群最多，但是還是有非單身甚至已婚交友用戶；使用交友軟體的時間大多兩年之內，平均下載2.66個交友App軟體，其中最常使用的交友App軟體為Beetalk。受試者平均每週上交友軟體的天數為5.07天，每週花費5.43小時。另外，高達94.1%的受試者曾經在交友App平台上與陌生人進一步用其他通訊軟體、社群媒體互動，並有88.9%的受試者曾約現實碰面。 2.寂寞感程度可顯著的正向預測交友軟體使用動機中的日常社交、社會逃避以及尋愛之三個構面。 3.寂寞感程度可顯著的正向預測自我揭露中的誠實度、數量以及正負向之三個構面。 4.關於交友軟體使用動機(日常社交、社會逃避、尋愛)與自我揭露(誠實度、數量、正負向)之間的關係：交友軟體使用動機中日常社交、社會逃避與尋愛之三個構面皆可顯著預測自我揭露中的誠實度：當日常社交和社會逃避動機越高時，自我揭露中的誠實度越高；但是當尋愛動機越高時，自我揭露中的誠實度越低。交友使用動機中日常社交和尋愛之二個構面皆可顯著預測自我揭露中的數量：當日常社交動機越高時，自我揭露中的數量越高；但當尋愛動機越高時，自我揭露中的數量越低。交友使用動機中日常社交之構面可顯著正向預測自我揭露中的正負向。 5.交友軟體品質特性(使用者介面、安全性、形象聲譽、會員素質、尋愛達成率)對交友軟體使用動機與自我揭露的調節效果中，僅只有尋愛達成率對交友軟體使用動機和自我揭露產生調節效果。 6.交友軟體使用動機中僅有日常社交之構面對於寂寞感程度與自我揭露有中介效果。 / The purpose of this study is to explore how “loneliness” which is widely prevalent throughout the society affects the motives of using online dating applications and the behavior of self-disclosure. Furthermore, how the quality of online dating apps operates in between the motives of using online dating apps and the behavior of self- disclosure. Online survey was conducted and 307 respondents completed the questionnaire. The research results are presented as follow: 1.Most of the respondents in the study are male, aged from 18 to 25, graduated from college and are currently single. Still, there are some of them in a relationship and even married. Subjects mostly have been used the dating apps less than 2 years, and averagely downloaded 2.66 dating apps. Furthermore, the most popular dating apps is Beetalk. Respondents use dating apps 5.07 days a week and 5.43 hours a week in average. Besides, there are 94.1% of the respondents have used other social media or social apps to communicate with other users they met in dating apps and 88.9% of the respondents have actually met up in real life. 2.Different degree of loneliness have statistically significant and positive predictable effect on the motives of using online dating apps including “Daily Social Needs”, “Escape to Virtual World”, and “Romance”. 3.Different degree of loneliness have statistically significant and positive predictable effect on the different aspects of self-disclosure including: Honesty, Quantity, and Positivity. 4.The motives of using online dating apps including “Daily Social Needs”, “Escape to Virtual World”, “Romance” have statistically significant and predictable effect on the honesty of self-disclosure. “Daily Social Needs” and “Romance” of motives have significant and predicable effect on the quantity of self-disclosure. Only “Daily social needs” have statistically significant and predictable effect on the positivity of self-disclosure. 5.Only the quality of “Love Achievement Rate” of online dating apps have operation effects in between the motives of using online dating apps and the behavior of self- disclosure. 6.Only “Daily social needs” of motives of using online dating apps have mediation effects between loneliness and the behavior of self disclosure.

本研究由科技接受度模型為出發點，探討台灣50歲以上國民對於網路購物平台的使用習慣及態度，加入不同的外部因素分析，包含人群接觸偏好、自我實踐、認知有用、認知易用、購物動機、知覺風險及關係品質，目的在於了解不同的外部因素對此一族群最後是否會回到同一個購物平台購買商品之影響，意即對網路購物平台產生忠誠度，並且加入寂寞感作為使用者態度與忠誠度之間的調節變數。採用問卷調查法隨機抽樣，同時發放紙本及網路問卷，有效回收173份，網路回收效果較佳，佔有效問卷的84%。 透過研究結果得知，自我實踐與人群接觸偏好皆對於科技接受模型當中的認知有用有直接的影響，顯示出50歲以上的國民在使用網路時，會受到過去的購物經驗（與人購買商品）的影響，不過對於新科技保持積極學習心態的個體會有意願嘗試使用網路購物。而當個體感受到網路購物是省時或是省錢的（認知有用）、認為操作是簡單明瞭的（認知易用）都會提高消費者使用網路購物的意願。 此外，消費者對於在網路購物平台上付費是否安全以及付費之後是否真的能拿到符合期待的商品有疑慮時，會降低網路購物的意願，因此網路購物平台業者要重視並且消弭這樣的知覺風險，這同時也將會提升消費者在網路購物的動機；如同實體商店，消費者也重視與網路購物平台業者之間的關係，也就是說，當有網路購物平台業者提供的客服是良善的，在購物前、中、後都重視消費者的感受、照顧消費者，建立一個良好的顧客關係，不僅提升消費者使用網路購物平台的意願，更能夠加深消費者對該網路購物平台的忠誠度。 然而，在調節項寂寞感的作用之下，並無明顯的調節效果，本研究建議後續相關研究者可以針對此項因素的影響力進行質化研究，例如深度訪談法。實務貢獻提供網路購物平台業者對於50歲以上國民的行銷策略上，除了以折扣優惠吸引此一族群的消費者之外，也應重視消費者心理層面上的感受、並且提供完整的資訊及即時有效的客服幫助消費者解決購物問題，建立消費者在網路購物平台上的專屬資產成本，達到良好的顧客關係循環。 / The purpose of the present study was to examine the influence of various external factors, including preference of human contact, self-actualization, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, shopping motivation, perceived risk, relationship quality and loneliness on consumer attitude toward online shopping and customer loyalty to the particular online shopping platform. We studied the relationship among the variations by using paper-based survey and the online survey. Our target participants were the people who over 50 years old in Taiwan. The data supports the following findings: if the consumer who has higher self-actualization would more likely agree that using online shopping platform to buy goods is useful. However, if the consumer has a higher preference for human contact will have a negative impact on perceived usefulness. Besides, to increase consumer's desire to use online shopping, we should notice that decreasing consumer’s perceived risk such as secure payment service and clear return rules and build a reliable customer relationship are crucial. That means, in addition to giving discounts to attract this group of consumers, online shopping platform company should also pay attention to consumer feelings. In the end, limitations and suggestions to future studies were provided.
