Abstract

We present a study of viewers of live stream shopping - a new medium that blends aspects of social media with mobile shopping. 286 participants from China, where live stream shopping has gained tremendous popularity with hundreds of millions of active users, were surveyed about their attitudes and experiences with viewing, interacting with, and making purchases from live stream shopping. Viewer motivations were examined according to the Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT) to identify motivations broken down into sixteen constructs organized under four greater constructs: entertainment, information, socialization, and experience. Many of the motivations we examined revealed statistically significant correlations with the frequency with which users viewed and made purchases from live stream shopping. Open-ended questions were also included for further analysis. Based on our findings, we propose suggestions to use live stream shopping as a powerful tool for e-commerce while taking advantage of the entertainment and real-time features that make it a form of social media.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
