Abstract

With the development of Internet and e-commerce, online shopping has become one of the main consumption ways. In recent years, effects of online reviews for consumer consumption intention and consumer decision-making are the research focus of many scholars at home and abroad. In this paper, taking taobao.com as an example, the research of four dependent variables influencing on college students' consumption intention, namely the quality of online reviews, the emotional tendencies of online reviews, number of pictures of online reviews and online commentators' credit of online reviews, is implemented by the questionnaire. Research shows that the number of online reviews and the picture quality of online reviews have a positive impact on students' consumption intention, and emotional tendencies and online commentators' credit have not a positive impact on college students' consumption intention. In view of the research conclusion, this paper finally puts forward some feasible suggestions for Taobao.com platform.
