Abstract—Nowadays, short video platforms are becoming more and more popular, and more people choose to shop on short video platforms or live streaming platforms. After reviewing prior research, we found that most of the prior research examined consumers’ purchase intention on live streaming and online context, and examined from different social media perspectives. However, little attention has been paid to short video platforms. Short video platforms are one aspect of social media but they have their characteristics and advantages. Factors impacting purchase intention on short video platforms may be different from other social media platforms. The purpose of this research is to provide some inspiration for merchants to sell on short video platforms in the future. This study uses the method of questionnaire survey, and through data analysis, we can more intuitively and truthfully reflect the factors that really affect the consumer’s consumption intention. After obtaining the final data, it can be seen that four factors of Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Video Emotion Polarity, and Video Information Quality have an impact on purchase intention.
Keywords—perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, short video, purchase intention, video emotion polarity, video information quality
