According to the 49th Statistical Report on Internet Development in China by CNNIC, as of June 2024, the proportion of online shopping users in China to the overall proportion of Internet users was 74.8%, and online shopping has long become an unavoidable trend. In this context, it is particularly important to study the purchasing behaviour of online consumers. Online comments are an important source of reference information for consumers, and since they truly record consumers’ impressions and feelings about products, the information they contain has a significant impact on consumer purchase intention. Therefore, this study proposed the following research objectives: 1. To examine the influence of the emotional disposition of online comments on consumers’ purchase intention; 2.

To explore the mediating role of consumers’ perceived value of products in the relationship between the emotional disposition of online comments and purchase intention; 7. To explore the mediating effect of the perceived usefulness of online comments on the relationship between the emotional disposition of online comments and purchase intention. This study adopted the quantitative research methodology to examine the relationship between emotional disposition of online comments and consumer purchase intention, and analysed the mediating role of consumers’ perceived value of goods and perceived usefulness of comments in the relationship between emotional disposition of online comments and purchase intention.
