Chinese sports major college students' purchase intention of smart devices based on stimulus-organism-response model
Abstract:
This study investigates the factors influencing Chinese sports major college students purchase intentions toward smart devices, grounded in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) theoretical model. It examines how seven external stimuli, product quality, social interactivity, price attitude, brand attitude, fashion perception, performance expectation, and expectation confirmation, affect consumer behavior through the mediating role of perceived value. A structured quantitative survey was conducted, collecting 695 valid responses. Regression analysis shows that all seven external stimuli significantly impact both perceived value (R² = 0.608, β = 0.225 for brand attitude) and purchase intention (R² = 0.637, β = 0.189 for price attitude). Furthermore, perceived value is a significant predictor of purchase intention (β = 0.639, R² = 0.408, p < 0.01) and partially mediates the relationship between the stimuli and behavioral response. This research contributes to consumer behavior theory by applying the SOR model to the context of smart device adoption among a specific demographic group sports major college students in China. It reveals their high sensitivity to price, brand, and perceived value in shaping their technology-related purchase decisions. The findings offer practical implications for product developers and marketers seeking to enhance design strategies, promotional efforts, and user satisfaction. The study also points to existing challenges in the smart device market, such as limited usage differentiation and product convergence, highlighting the need for innovation and targeted engagement in educational and athletic contexts.
