Abstract

Purpose

Drawing on self-determination theory, a person-centered approach was used to investigate how the satisfaction and frustration of the basic psychological needs of autonomy and competence produce adaptive vs maladaptive consumer behavior during the online shopping experience.

Design/methodology/approach

We collected questionnaire data from 1,399 respondents engaged in online shopping, including 65% females with an average age of 29.9. Latent profile analysis tested the hypotheses, using Mplus 8.3.

Findings

The online shopping experience sometimes satisfies and sometimes frustrates consumers’ basic psychological needs for autonomy and competence. This research used latent profile analysis to identify two profiles of the online shopping experience: “satisfied-dominant” and “moderately satisfied/frustrated.” Online shoppers who experienced only need satisfaction showed adaptive consumer behavior in terms of positive word-of-mouth and high loyalty, while online shoppers who experienced both moderate need satisfaction and frustration showed maladaptive consumer behavior.

Originality/value

An online shopping experience of need satisfaction vs frustration explains consumers’ adaptive vs maladaptive behavior. Specifically, when online shoppers experience only autonomy and competence need satisfaction, they engage in positive word-of-mouth and show high loyalty.

网上购物时的心理需求特征:探索与口碑和忠诚度的关联
目的以自我决定理论为基础,采用以人为本的方法,研究在网购体验中,自主性和能力的基本心理需求的满足和受挫是如何产生适应性消费者行为和适应不良消费者行为的。使用 Mplus 8.3 对假设进行了潜在特征分析。研究结果网购体验有时会满足消费者对自主性和能力的基本心理需求,有时则会使其感到沮丧。本研究利用潜特征分析确定了网购体验的两种特征:"满意为主 "和 "适度满意/沮丧"。仅体验到需求满足的网购者表现出适应性消费行为,即积极的口碑传播和高忠诚度,而同时体验到适度需求满足和挫折的网购者则表现出不适应性消费行为。原创性/价值需求满足与挫折的网购体验解释了消费者的适应性行为与不适应性行为。具体来说,当网上购物者只体验到自主性和能力需求满足时,他们会进行积极的口碑传播,并表现出较高的忠诚度。
