時尚是一個很迷人的話題。翻開報章雜誌,經常看到時尚精品業者所刊登的大幅廣告;走在街頭,看到有越來越多年輕男女追求時尚流行與穿著打扮。現今年輕世代的族群,出生所面對的即是豐足富裕的台灣社會,每天所接觸的資訊媒體豐富,商品的多樣化與選擇性都刺激了更多的消費。 近年來,各大精品品牌為了吸引廣大年輕族群將產品調整為年輕化的趨勢。而現今消費意識的抬頭,消費者從事消費的過程有著更大的主動性,商品的意義已經由過去純然的「物」,轉變為象徵自我以及塑造自我認同的媒介。如今,大學生名牌精品的消費現象有越來越明顯的趨勢。他們究竟是盲目的消費,或是一種藉由奢華品體驗中投射自我形象的實現,抑或是藉此塑造出自我風格與品味,都是值得令人探究的問題。 本研究藉由問卷調查與深度訪談,試圖綜合心理、消費文化理論以及大學生個人消費經驗與看法描繪出完整的消費現象全貌,藉此瞭解現今大學生的消費型態與價值觀,探索名牌消費對於大學生的意義。研究結果發現: 一、大學生消費名牌精品的原因來自於生活歷程中外在環境(家人、同儕、 媒體)的影響,以及內在對於名牌(品牌價值、設計師)的認同。 二、大學生消費名牌精品的消費行為囿限於背景身分而在消費時需要節制、無法過度,且因此延伸出罪惡感以及需要與現實妥協的感受。 三、大學生藉由名牌做為自我形象的投射,進而從自我的愉悅與他人的肯定增加自信,然而消費名牌的本意並不出於為了「炫燿」,反而是一種展現自我亦尊重他人價值觀的多元思維。
