Abstract

With the rapid development of platform-based e-commerce, shopping uncertainty and shopping risks due to information asymmetry in online shopping have increased, which has attracted widespread attention from academia and practice. This paper combines consumer behavior theory and transaction cost theory to explore the connotation and structure of product uncertainty, and develop and test measurement scales. Study 1 adopts a grounded theoretical method to explore the connotation and structure of product uncertainty. Based on exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, Study 2 clarifies three dimensions: product description uncertainty, product fitting uncertainty and product performance uncertainty. Affective dysregulation was used as the association standard, and the prediction validity of the scale was verified based on correlation analysis and regression analysis. This study provides a measurement tool and theoretical basis for the research on the uncertainty of consumer online shopping, which is of great significance for the strategy design of business enterprises.
