An Empirical Study on Consumer Purchasing Behavior based on Online Reviewsand the UTAUT2 Model

Ziyu Zhao

Abstract


This study investigates the mechanism by which online review characteristics integrated with the Unified Theory of Acceptance and
Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) influence consumer purchasing behavior in e-commerce contexts. Employing a mixed-methods approach
with camera purchases as the research object, the investigation combines Python-based BTM topic modeling of scraped e-commerce platform
reviews with empirical analysis of 303 survey responses. Results demonstrate significant positive correlations between purchasing behavior
and effort expectancy, habit, price-value ratio, usage experience, service quality, and product evaluation, while performance expectancy shows
no direct effect. Purchase intention serves as a critical mediator. The research innovatively integrates objective text mining with UTAUT2, validating and refining the theoretical framework while providing data-driven marketing implications for e-commerce platforms and manufacturers.
