Abstract

Chinese netizens’ social media demand is continuously rising, with young users receiving increased attention from social media companies and researchers. However, few studies have conducted in-depth research concentrated on the demand intentions of young Chinese women. Xiaohongshu is a representative female-oriented social network in China. We collected 329 valid questionnaire responses to conduct an empirical study on Xiaohongshu, analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling. The results show that: (1) perceived ease of use, reputation, and the perception of self-improvement are crucial for retaining young women’s intention; (2) perceived entertainment is an important intermediary for perceived ease of use to affect reputation, while normative influence has a strong impact on reputation; (3) perceived entertainment and life assistance occupy a prominent place in perceived self-improvement on continuous use intentions; and (4) perceived entertainment, normative influence, and help with purchasing decisions play an important role in life assistance.
