Overview

Structural equation modeling reveals blockchain transparency reduces purchase uncertainty in second-hand luxury consumers, indicating platform adoption depends on price consciousness.

Key Points

  • Investigate how blockchain technology reduces consumer uncertainty and drives platform adoption in second-hand luxury transactions, while assessing the moderating role of price consciousness.
  • Conducted partial least squares structural equation modeling (N = 511) grounded in mental accounting theory.
  • Measured consumer perceptions of blockchain-traceable information quality (diagnosticity, informativeness, trustworthiness) and perceived purchasing risks (financial, social, time, contamination, performance).
  • Performed multi-group moderation analysis to evaluate behavioral differences across levels of price consciousness.
  • Perceived traceable information quality positively influenced blockchain transparency, effectively reducing online purchasing uncertainty and driving platform adoption intentions.
  • Lower price-conscious consumers relied more heavily on product diagnosticity to establish transparency, whereas higher price-conscious consumers prioritized system trustworthiness.
