Motives and Corresponding Behaviors in Reading Electronic Word of Mouth

With the growth of eWOM, researchers pay much attention to eWOM-related issues. In these studies, eWOM is viewed as a source of information or knowledge, and much attention is paid to eWOM creation and its types. Besides eWOM itself, users’ motives and corresponding behaviors are also potential issues in eWOM-related study. However, topics of users’ motives and corresponding behaviors, especially eWOM receivers’ motives and corresponding behaviors, have been ignored for a long time. In the present study, we try to interview several consumers to explore their original motives and corresponding behaviors of reading eWOM.
